CoL VI: Boys (ii)

Given the previous installment of this sub-subject, then the Economist piece, some essentialism, just for kicks...
Could it be, just could it, that men are meant for (prefer, not are limited to) action and heavy lifting and heroism and as the work world moves more away from that and math (sorta) that the kinds of work and kinds of learning needed for it (more communicative, less kinetic) simply favor women? Is it, in short, possible the patriarchy might be engineering its own demise, at least in the post-industrical countries? And is it possible that the unliberated crap we are seeing in GenWhatever's sexual practices is a symptom of these boy's having "nothing better to do" than watch girls wrestle in jello at the kegger, and that the girls do it because they're just not ready to take on the responsibility of History yet? Is that why they're confusing "popularity/promiscuity" with "power" (real power being the effect of various kinds of Discipline)? Could this all be signs of deep maladjustment to these changes? Boy: can't run world, might as well watch porn. Girl: don't want to run world, might as well get waxed? Is this what's going on along with other forces? Is this a wake-up call that we must edcuate the soul in new ways? Are we getting ready for an age of difference? Am I being just way too hopeful here?
