Comment on BREAKING NEWS: Creation of a federal Office of Men’s Health by Kevin Peterson

Sonny you said:

“For too long the health needs of all men have gone unaddressed. This Office is a step towards men’s health taking its rightful place in our federal government’s healthcare priorities.”

I hope that this new initiative will make some real steps towards universal health, improved self esteem and hopefully help for those caught in the web of addiction

I agree with what “Anonymous” has pointed out. It saddens me (too) that America fails to give them the health care they really need.

With the introduction of this new office, I hope that they (those people who are in real need) get the treatment they really deserve.

Comment on The Importance of Father-Son Proximity and Initiation into the Masculine Culture by Michael

This goes both ways also– I was as I still am a car nut and build racing cars. In the 50′s through the 70′s the neighborhood kids were always there to”help”, they were interested in such things like wrenching on a car. Now, I have a full up shop and am still building cars but NO ONE is interested. The average age of video game players is 33! there they play at racing if they’re interested in cars at all.

There are both good and bad aspects of missing one parent, I functionally had no father so closly attended to other men. When I was about five I remember wathcing a guy adjusting the valves of his 1934 chevy, I clearly recall asking him about it and his giving me comprehensable answers. I recall Watching Ironeyes Cody, the indian that was on TV with a tear– working on his costumes and my Uncle working on radios. These and many other insightfull experiences gave me a menue of what men did. Perhaps the significant factor was that there were oppertunities to watch these guys that arn’t available any more! There just are NO male models for a boy to relate to! My dad could have been an accountant and I imprinted on that as what a man does–if he’d been there or as now when there are none!

Comment on The Eroding (Ok, Eroded) Masculinity of the American Male by Michael

The factors that showed us what ‘manhood’ was have gone leaving us with few male models.
Dad used to work on the car, the house,anything that needed fixing, He tended to be a WORKER in the physical sense, He built the roads, homes, televisions, bridges, EVERYTHING while mom provided the infrastructure: essentially everything necessarily to keep dad and the kids functioning.
Now there’s little work left that a woman can’t and isn’t doing, the auto parts house is managed by a gal tho she doesn’t know what a distributor is other than it is on a shelf back there under #12345. Even the ditch diggers have air conditioned cabs and power everything.
Dad is frequently either gone or supporting our invasions in the military leaving Mom to raise the kids. She knows what a girl has to do to get along: look sexy, hook a guy and then maybe get himto support her through school so she has her own money with a better job
When it comes to raising the boys, she doesn’t know– never been one so she raises them like the girls. No suprise that the boy doesn’t know what it is to be a man– he doesn’t have a model other than on TV!
Remember Desi Arnez? was he the first TV male fool with lucile Ball?
