Comments on: Why are there so few male mentors? http://www.carrborocitizen.com/main/2009/02/12/why-are-there-so-few-male-mentors/ Chapel Hill & Carrboro's Community Newspaper Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:25:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ann Duckworth http://www.carrborocitizen.com/main/2009/02/12/why-are-there-so-few-male-mentors/comment-page-1/#comment-99900 Ann Duckworth Sun, 15 Mar 2009 15:51:01 +0000 http://www.carrborocitizen.com/main/?p=4868#comment-99900 The problem is being dealt with the wrong way. You see mnany Males today are losing in education and employment. This is creating the Male Crisis and also the "lack of role Models". Only until you rectify the nineteenth century belief of differential treatment from a young age of Males and Females will you be able to cure the both the growing Male Crisis and the lack of role models for boys. Differential treatment from a young age with more aggression directed toward Males to make them tough; little or no mental/emotional/social support for fear of coddling, again to make them tough; and providing love, honor, respect only on the condition of sufficient achievement, status, and image (those Males without receive more aggression and neglect), again to make them tough; is causing many many Males to fall behind academically and now economically. Since girls and women are not supposed to be tough, it is okay to provide love, honor respect, along with mental/emotional/social support just for being girls. Now in the information age, this differential treatment from a young age is leaving more Males behind and more Females ahead in ability to think, learn, and compete for jobs and earnings. So you see until this differential treatment is corrected, society will continue to develop many happy, qualified women and many disadvantaged, unqualified, and angry men. This is the dilemma society is facing. Complete learning theory to all on request. Ann The problem is being dealt with the wrong way. You see mnany Males today are losing in education and employment.
