Yes...Thanks Dob...

Don't forget Pro Sports and Education.

Seems there are many today, waaaay beyond their teenage years that Still Don't Know.

At least, we as teenagers in those days were thankfully, a bit timid in our appreciative awe for the fairer sex.

In high school, it was my "divining rod"...there was water Everywhere!...I was like a compass in a spiraling airplane.

Ah, but 'teen hormones rage through their bodies and no one tells them what to expect or feel.,

5 minutes to change classes. Erection suppression was a major accomplishment. As you may know, all blossoming teen age girls are beautiful.

Laughing...

Tell that to the teenage boys at my high school, Cass Tech.(8 floors 4 elevators, 3,000 students. 35 person capacity -- a whole lot of squeezin' goin' on)

Certainly not aware, at least but possibly lacking in mutuality, empathy or respect for self in the face of that dreaded concept:..dun,dun DUNNNNN!.."The Greater Good.

I have to agree with you in practice. Look at what the nazi soldiers did, just following orders. Look at what OUR soldiers do, just following orders !! I have to say they are willing participants in evil by and large. Even the police arresting people for DUI when they havent harmed anyone

We also can say stuff that the left would have arrested a much younger man for...age does have it's advantages.

Although...bush sr, ruined the "accidental" touching thing for the rest of us old boys.

You inspected your own behavior before weighing in on the conversation. That shows me you are a conscious human being.
Problem is these days, is that those that are not have monkey see'd, monkey do learned to imitate that behavior.
I for one, am not flattered.

That's right; power corrupts only those that would be corrupted by power...and it seems the difference between those that do and those that do not is...Conscience, Consciousness, self introspection, and mutuality.

I think you outlined that well.

"Toxic Masculinity" only exists on the left...they are nothing more than cowards and do not represent male conscious human beings.

No everyone, term...that's pretty clear; especially, the perpetrators.

60+% of the global population has yet to achieve a mind and any meaningful kind of self control...and wait there is more: most of them seem to work in government, media and the film industry.

There are certain advantages to being 83 and in a constant battl with gravity.Everyone knows I can look but not touch, Looking at a prtty woman is as hsrmless as admiring a sunset, the big difference is that the beauty of the sunset fades much quicker than the woman (thank you, Mother Nature.)

I've been wracking my brain trying to remember if I have ever abused my power (little that I've ever had) and took advantage of a woman. I can only remember three instances (I did not really take advantage, it was more of going with the flow, they were all complicit). In any case I should get a pass since I married all three. Just one at a time of course. I've still got the last one, just celebrated 40 years. Too late to break in a new one anyway.

This brings up a new political issue. Under today's liberal standards, is it considered cheating if you aren't getting any at home? Perhaps we can get Congress to write some new laws that specifically define "it". I haven't seen a new law yet defining "is". Just kidding of course, since this is only speculation on this issue and has nothing whatsoever to do with me personally (my legal disclaimer).

power corrupts...which gives you an inside look at the soul (or lack thereof) of these individuals...

Sure, that all happens. But, don't confuse the two: NBA players vs. Matt Laurer. They seem very different to me.

I was once in a rock band many years ago. We openly joked, and still do, about how women approach a member of a rock band after the set. I was a good boy. And, I thought it was ok. Why? Because I wasn't in a position of power. I was never the aggressor, ever. I never acted on it, either - but that's beside the point.

All of this is just foreign to me. I was reared with the belief that a real man treated women with respect. I do blame modern feminism for part of this, as the leaders of that tribe went into the game declaring that all men were like these sexual abusers, and that women had to become more sexually aggressive to become dominant in the conflict. That began to send a misguided message that all women really wanted to be regarded as sex objects, feeding the delusional fantasies of the permanently adolescent. Of course then there's the enlightened Bernie Sanders, who contends that all women fantasize about being raped.

This isn’t really about sex. It’s about using one’s perceived or imagined power to control the behavior of other people. Everyone has the power over his own thoughts and actions. If your boss requires you to willingly kneel and call him excellency you can refuse if you don’t want what he offers in return

I flew south America for American...all the flight attendants were from those countries....they would line up at your door on lay-overs to take turns proving their worth to you...they did not care if you were married as long as you did not fool around them...they had a high STD rate...I stayed away from...other pilots thought they had died and gone to heaven until they landed in health hell....

Experienced this syndrome myself, to a much lesser degree when playing in a band when I was younger; then again, in my mid 30's, being divorced and one of the few males in the dancing crowd that could actually dance...got "Used and Abused" a lot!

[No joke or bragging either]

Yep. We really don't want to be fed the news by "moma cass" types but at the same time, we really don't need to be lookin at overly exposed big tits and long legs all the time either.
Maybe if they promoted a culture of modesty and seriousness, thereby avoiding all the sex trappings, it just might bring everyone else to their senses also. Much can be done by example, suggestion and discussion.

I am not being a prude here, just looking for some balance and self respect; it's clear that the "Be what ever you will, anything goes" behavioral model doesn't work to our benefit.

saw this during my career as an airline pilot...stayed at same hotels as "celebs" where women lined up in bar/reception area to take "turns" with celebs to go upstairs and take their best shot with the celeb...Matt Lauer came to "expect" women to want "sex" with him...does not excuse anything he did...just the way things are with celebs and women...Wilt Chamberlin said he had sex with a million women....the women threw themselves at him and all the other celebs...they all deserve each other...but his associates knew what was going on and looked the other way...they should all be fired...don't you hate discrimination...
