Sexodus?!?

Interesting stuff, worth the read.

Mostly a tiresome load of hyperbolic reactionary crap.

As Jenny said, there is some truth to the over-medication part. I've been ADHD all of my life and learned to consciously compensate for it without medication.

And Rob, I agree we are the worst generation of parents. No Child Left Behind has only made the situation even worse. When you take away the prospect of failure, you also take away the motive to succeed.

The railing the article does against rape awareness is utter crap. Our society coddles rapists even today. Sentences are way too light, prosecution is still riddled with victim shaming and blaming and I'm continuously appalled at how even educated members of our society can still say ignorant things like "forced kissing isn't sexual assault."

And of course there was the obligatory paragraph about how "nice guys can't get anywhere anyway". It is true that some women have lousy taste in men. I always avoided them when I was single. But most nice guys can do well if they learn how to walk the line between pushover and abusive. You don't have to be an abuser to get a woman's attention. Just be willing to stand up for yourself and not be a doormat. I've found that works well enough.

Some guys I've known will use the "I can't get anywhere because I'm a nice guy" rationalization which is a convenient one as it puts the blame on women rather than compelling the guy to examine what he might be doing wrong. One guy I knew who claimed that was the reason he was single and he was somewhere between a "2" or a "3" who only chased after "9s" and "10s". His problem was being unwilling to look in the mirror and set realistic standards based on what he offers in return. Hey, fantasy is nice, and I certainly partake as much as the next man, but when you live in the real world you have to come to terms that not every woman looks like Lara Croft just as not every man has the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
