It got to the point where half the boys in my son's class were taking ritalin.I wouldn't make that assumption.
Our public school system and medical establishment have been punishing and drugging boys for merely being boys for years. Boys are treated like defective girls. That is going to have an impact.
I got into an argument with my son's 2nd grade teacher about it.
She said she 'diagnosed' children for ADD or ADHD....I shot back at her with "look, until you can show me a psych degree hanging on your wall you don't diagnose anything medical."
She gave me the "well I never..." look.
I let her know that if she ever broached the subject again, I would not only go to the school board and file a complaint, I would also go to the media.
Never heard another word about it.
I am master's level therapist

What do you mean "master's level"? Do you have a master's degree or not?
Oh, pish and tosh, rdeany.
You're a boring fool...but I bet your handbag matches your belt and shoes.
Stayed outta this one til now. But I'm one of the 'if tighty-whities came in silk or satin that'd be swell.' Let's face it, women's fashion options are nicer than men's. If men's business attire showed our legs or pecs, we'd jump at the chance. Instead, men are covered neck to toe whereas women get to show off their beautiful bodies much more. It's reverse-discrimination I'm telling ya.
Would take exception to being called pussified though. Fortunately, at 6'2" and 190 pounds I'm more inclined to laugh it off than stomp on every wee man to make a snide remark. But not so long ago I did bash back. One encounter with some intellectually challenged guys stands out. It was 5 to 1, I got 4.
Be cool if they made playgrounds and parks with equipment big and sturdy enough for adults. Miss swings. Hey, there's an idea, like Dave and Busters which is sorta an adults only Chuck E Cheese, make adults-only playgrounds.
This list pretty much sums up the Pussification of the American Male. To our male brethren who resist such pussification, I say: Huzzah! Real women do not want men to wear make up and "stylish" clothes, and order fruity girly drinks.
The OP is a good example of the hostility most conservatives have for diversity, dissent, and expressions of individual liberty; its also a good example of the authoritarian nature of conservatism, where rightist ideology seeks to compel conformity.
In this case men who refuse to comply with the rights subjective perception of what a man should be are accused of not being real men.
The contempt many Americans have for conservatives is indeed justified.

While I don't have one, I heard for a dude, it's called a "manbag".

I don't know. Men's legs are hairy and knotty. Women's are smooth.

Conservatives have disgust for degenerate pigs like GLAAD and yourself.

I do make them big enough to support adults, when I take the grand kids to the park I get on the swing with them, I also slide down the slide, and I'm close too 300

I am master's level therapist (under grad and post-grad psych) Kids are way over medicated. The schools and teachers push it extremely hard because they don't want to actually have to work or deal with children. Imagine that.
They would rather the kids all be zoned out little zombies.
A teacher has zero expertise and training in knowing how to diagnosis ADHD. You did the right thing. Virtually all ADHD meds are schedule II drugs and very powerful. Please do not give them to your kids unless a qualified mental health professional has diagnosed and preferably testing has been done. The Connor's Behavioral is the gold standard for ADHD.
Metrosexuals can ALREADY do these "things".
It's only men STILL UNSURE OF THEIR OWN SEXUALITY who can't.
You know what a real metrosexual male is?
A man who does not give a flying fuck what you think about him, his style, his habits, or his lifestyle.
Now seriously..which is more masculine?
Caring about what other people think or not?

I know of at least four men named Tracy/Tracey. (An author, three country singers.) Also know of men named Marion (John Wayne), Leslie (Bob Hope), Dana (Kiecker, baseball player), and Robin (Trower). My nephew's name is Avery.
