In the neighborhood in which my kids grew up, none of the high-school-aged boys wanted to date. The problem was that the high school girls were too difficult. They were in the early stages of becoming the screaming, woke feminists who were so prominent during the George Floyd rallies. On Twitter, a girl like that, only now grown up to be a mother and academic, tweeted something generically nasty about the “alt-right” hatefulness of White boys in middle school—and an 18-year-old decided to explain exactly why White boys are embracing non-woke standards.

That's why we homeschooled our kids through high school. My son is a deputy sheriff, is God loving, respects his wife and definitely is a man who I'd not afraid to take on some woketards.

It may be simpler than that. If you want your spouse to cheat, accuse them of being a cheater. If you want someone to become a bigot, accuse them of bigotry. If you want someone to steal, accuse them of being a thief. Do it enough times and you have created the very thing you hate so much.

I think the cause of this shift may be expressed more simply than is put forth here: boys are going to rebel against what they perceive as the prevailing Zeitgeist, while girls are going to do their best to conform. In the sixties, this meant rebellion against the religious, moral and nationalistic spirit that prevailed at the time, giving rise to the hippie and anti-war movement. Now, however, with the extreme left re-defining and taking control of most cultural norms, rebellion and conformity will assume polarities opposite to those of half a century ago.

Indeed, #2, excellent point. Having been one of the 'rebels' of the sixties, as were most of my associates at the time, in retrospect almost all those counter-culture types were persons who had some kind of grudge against society and felt excluded by it. The kinds of accusations you describe are exactly the sorts of things that elicit a sense of rejection and then rebellion.

At my age, 83, it is too late for me to do anything but chuckle.
My alma mater just sent me its quarterly magazine, and the issue is devoted to the subject of diversity. The stories in the magazine are all dedicated to the
wonderfulness of diversity, but, oddly enough, there are no white males written about.
The fact that they sent out their magazine with that omission tells me they understand nothing about diversity.
Now let's move the 17 year old who wrote that excellent analysis, move him to age 22 and ready to graduate from college, and, presuming he is white, have him write an essay about what it feels like to watch certain minority students, male or female, being heavily recruited, while he waits for the phone to ring.

The irony is that today’s women will be working their lives away just like men did before. Burned out, worn out and old, not a happy thought for a young woman.

If you don't like the right-wing male then get a tattoo, dye your hair green and go to a rally, a march or a riot and just enjoy life. Buy yourself a megaphone with a siren on it to get attention. There is an alternative to right wingers. If you teach what is hateful, then some will learn the lesson well.

This is like the enraged parent who screams, "Don't yell!" at his kids. You can't teach someone to stop a negative behavior by doing it yourself. You can't teach a child that discrimination is wrong---by discriminating.
I know you won't like to hear this, but when I'm around liberals who start in on social identity issues I always suggest that one way for us to move forward without discrimination or bias would be to all wear burkhas 24/7. Think about it: Nobody would know or care what anyone's race, religion, gender, sex orientation etc is. Cops could have a standardized "P" on their burkhas. George Floyd couldn't be blamed on race. We would all just be dark sacks of flowing robes with eye slits.
Of course I'm being facetious but really, sometimes you have to go for the ridiculous in order to make a point. Try it sometime; it really works and causes liberals to shut up on the spot and start babbling incoherently. That reaction, in itself, is worth it. Jesse Waters, you out there?

Old white men are already radicalized. It's quite the insult to be excluded from the country that you built to be replaced by low-IQ layabouts who think they deserve a bigger piece of the pie. Just wait until the domestic terrorism movement really gets started.

Everyone in this country have been taught over the years that they are victims of white males. Women, all minorities and ethnicities.
Truth is that there is no one more discriminated against in today's society than white males. Parents need to reassure their young men that it is not about them or their color. As for all those women screaming for equality, perhaps they should look at what is happening in women's swimming. Having established equality in sports through Title IX, a new minority, transgenders, are now destroying women's sports. The pendulum swings and while you may be on top for awhile, a new minority will become the flavor of the day.
Be very careful what you wish for...

2 Timothy 3 King James Version
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
This is the major problem with humans. God foretold all that is happening in this world.

We gave eight years of occupancy to a communist test tube baby and the rest of the federal government leadership, in the interest of lining cronies pockets with the benefits of a "global economy", looked the other way, while antiAmerican c students staffed administrative agencies with the singular agenda of turning White American into Angola or Zimbabwe.
Not necessarily old and bitter cat ladies, some are old and drunk former candidates for president.

what is “alt -right “ ? really ? the writer lumps everything the left doesn’t like into one group and it isn’t accurate . A quiet , religious kid , with a flag patch and respect for others is ? the fanatic rioter for blm isn’t alt anything ? i really think even the label is dumb .. but the description of alienation seems accurate to a point .. honestly the draft made /saved more young people from life’s trash heap than any feel good word salad solution . It isn’t the feeling it’s the capability of doing that kids are not learning

I hope all those wound up over male trannies in "female" sports read this for comprehension. This anonymous kid lays it out for you - EQUALITY means an expansion of FEMALE privilege in education, employment, and other meaningful areas. So while handwringing over who wins a meaningless sporting event, how about looking at the tilting playing field your son (especially if white and straight) has to play on every day of REAL life, well described by this young man. That's the "new normal" for EQUALITY. And they see it clearly. What will be done? I expect nothing...

Ok, I can follow all the arguements, and I can see how the average young man wouldn't believe any of the lies and insane tripe that they are being fed. I get that, and it seems like a good thing that they are rejecting the brainwashing. But some of the terms that this writer uses are baffling.
Listening to Jordan Petersen is "being radicalized"? On what planet? Petersen is a voice of normalcy, a voice of sanity in a sea of insanity. He is reasonable, sensible, level headed and well grounded.
Jordan Petersen is "alt-right"? What in hell does "alt right" even MEAN? I absolutely have no idea what the definition of "alt right" is, other than it is the left's big boogy man, which makes me think that if the left hates it, it must be good, and sane and wonderful. And I don't think that there even IS A DEFINITION of 'alt-right', I think it is just a basket that the left throws "people who disagree with our Communist hate" into.

Problems are so different today.
My biggest problem in grade school and high school was dealing with jerks and thugs. Didn't have to deal with lies presented as education until college. My parents and teachers in grade school and high school were supportive, and I thank God for that.
Learned a few valuable lessons.
When having problems with kids that were jerks and thugs, the problem wasn't me, it was them. When I had a 270 pound thug trying to injure me, it's not me, it's them. Funny thing he hurt himself in the process and nobody even bothered to check on him, not even the teacher. It showed what everybody thought of him. Never had to resort to drugs or alcohol to fit in. I didn't try. I knew the thugs and jerks weren't my friends.
When the problem was with me, I learned not to take a defeatist attitude. A defeatist attitude will get you nowhere. Nor could I expect to find help. I was on my own, and had to figure my problems out myself. That's when I realized this was going to be hard. High school never prepared me for college and I had problems with grades. Even dropped out for a few years. Parents couldn't help me. They never went to college. I was still able to live at home though. It was the one point of stability in my life at that time.
In college, I learned to parrot what PC teachers wanted to hear so I could still get a good grade. It never reflected what I truly believed however. I did not share my true thoughts with these people. I knew better.
Only made a few friends in grade school and high school. Oddly enough they were two different groups since most of the kids I knew in grade school went to a different high school. With the exception of one, I never kept in contact with any of them. The one kept in touch with was someone I knew back in grade school and high school, and we weren't even in the same grade. Never made any friends in college. By the time I was in college, I had lost contact with almost everyone because we went in different directions. Why make friends when you will likely lose contact with them? That was my thinking from a Junior in high school all the way through college. It was unfortunate.
I look at what kids are being put through today, and I don't see how they can manage it. it's like conform or be crushed. Don't expect any help in school. It's more important than ever to have a positive family life. How many children don't even have that?

Ok - there needs to be a distinction made here...not that its going to sound much in this forum as so many people have already knee-jerked to the words "alt-right". So here's the thing: there REALLY IS an "alt-right" that has developed in this country...and believe me, they no more love the American Constitution than does the Marxist Left. They have taken advantage of the American Conservative in appearing to have the same conservative values, but they are not Conservatives/Constitutionalists. They ARE an American version of Nazism, albeit their origins/ancestor(s) were more related to John C Calhoun and Democrats that wanted to change the American Constitution to reflect a more "white supremicist" government. Look it up. Then go to Vox Day and see what he REALLY wants to see happen in this country. The similarities are startling.
Alt-right, however is NOT true blue American Constitutionalism, which is what Conservatives NEED to start calling themselves. Since its inception, there have been Europeans/white supremicists/Jeffersonian Democrats who have been trying to whittle away its actual implementation. Im beginning to wonder if there was ever a period in American history where the Constitution was actually followed. Conservatives would do well to stand up for the Constitution and not let themselves get yanked around by the media who wants to chain them to groups like the KKK or the Alt-right.
As for why these young men are doing this as mentioned in the article, yep, not surprised. When you have entire generations being indoctrinated in the poisonous idea of "grrrrl pwr!" and "boys drool" we end up with feral groups like the alt-right.

Single out a group of people. Malign them. Condemn them. Constantly claim how they are the problem for everything. Deny them jobs. Deny them education. Deny them the same rights you give everyone else. Eventually they will hate you.

The feminist War on Boys and Men is just as egregious and evil as the mass killing of the innocent unborn. I am glad I was there to help my sons recognize and resist the evil of liberalism, feminism, and Woke ideology.
We need a sanctuary, a Homeland for European-Americans.

Being educated by TV has been going on for decades. The perfect grooming for the social media conditioning. Weaker and weaker parenting, more and more by single mothers and guess what, you have a generation of really odd, pathetic people. Aimless, confused, yet ready to destroy, the perfect army for tyrants.

The crazy females bring this all on themselves. I raised my kids not to embrace the crazy in either women or guys out there in the world. My son married a wonderful young lady I am proud to call daughter. When you slam on white boys continuously day in, day out it is not surprising that they refuse to get involved with you.
