Fred - o reacionário - Reed

Minha maior diversão ao ler um texto do Fred Reed, mesmo quando não concordo com ele, é imaginar a espuma saindo do canto da boca de um progressista, politicamente correto e socialmente responsável ao dar de cara com algo como isso:

"Boys need someone who can control them until, in a few years, the internal controls are in place. Women can’t do it. Therefore we have police in the schools, and we drug boys into somnolence with amphetamines. Parents, instead of even trying to control their kids, will litigate.

Boys cease to be students and become problems, so teachers don’t like them.

Further, in the schools today we have feminization, feminization, feminization. Instead of treating girls like girls, and boys like boys, all are expected to be girls. It doesn’t work. Boys by their very nature like to roughhouse. They like contact sports. You don’t have to force them to play football. They are competitive. Women don’t understand this, and what they don’t understand, they outlaw. Today estrogenated school after estrogenated school bans dodge ball as too dangerous, outlaws tag ('They get too rough,” meaning too rough for Mrs. Teacher), and insists on “groups games led by a caring adult.'

It is hideous for boys. Everything they are, it isn’t. 'Ohhhhh, let’s have a caring non-competitive game….' If he is really bright, with an IQ north of 150, he will decide that his teachers are idiots, which most of them are, and withdraw. There will be a price for this one day.

You want to end the 'boy crisis'? Easy. Give boys male teachers who understand boys and care about them. Women do neither. Let them compete. It’s how they are. Encourage them to burn off energy in the gym. Reward achievement, not pretty projects. Turn them into men, not transvestites.

Nahhh, never happen."
