Building on my Thursday post, I provide this now from BreakPoint.org:
Talking Like a Woman
by Kim Moreland
Blurring of lines between the sexes is having an effect on some men. Scientists from the University of California have found that some men are talking like women.
I wonder if this problem is creeping up because so many boys are being raised by a single parent–namely, a mother.
And the very first comment?
Comments:
Whatever the research says, I’m very annoyed by people who make every declarative sentence sound like a question? And right or wrong, I do subtract some credibility from people who do that? For example, I’ve heard so-called experts being interviewed on radio and TV and talking like that, and I find myself being dismissive? They might be the best experts in their fields, but to me, they undercut all of that by talking that way? People who do that should be made to look at a transcript of the things they say, including proper punctuation when they sound like they are asking a question? That might show them how absurd their speech is and how aggravating it is to have to listen to them? Just saying?
A final observation:
These are the same men who, later, will be second-guessed by women as to why they won’t make decisions, why they won’t open doors, and why they don’t seem to act like men at all.
Real women want real men. Not women camouflaged as men.
Simple as that.

First, it’s a California University study. Sorry, BZ, but California might as well be the modern day Isle of Lesbos. Second, the comments made on boys being raised soley by women may have some truth to those said boys not learning how to act as a man. I think a lot of it has to do with boys being expected to act the same way as girls in school. Too much Ritalin and the like being put forth. How come the biggest portion of “A.D.D.” kids are boys? This has made me wonder for a long time.
No apologies Ron. I think we know the answers.

America doesn’t need any more sheep in wolves’ clothing; we’ve got far too many as it is.
