Leftists are afraid that boys will grow to be men. They think that’s bad
The far-left mocked, belittled, and, in Hollywood productions (from Archie Bunker to Al Bundy to Charlie Sheen’s character Charlie Harper in "Two and a Half Men") parodied manliness into a thin cultural stereotype. With this accomplished, they began to blame masculinity (what they denounce as "toxic masculinity") for everything they’ve done to men, and/or, especially, to boys.The left next conveniently spun this into a political and marketing scheme: They defined the enemy as knuckle-dragging Ne...

Nigerian Researchers Accidentally Confirm Africa's Low IQ Problem For many years the political left has dismissed all discussion about links between third world populations and low intelligence as "racism" and "xenophobia".
