Boys need a father or older male role model

[Delta4Embassy]

Another thread along these lines sparked a memory about something proving the claim young males need older males in their lives to curb aggressive behaviour.

The Delinquents

"But as Bob Simon first reported in 1999, there's a problem lurking in the South African bush. Game rangers discovered that a new group of juvenile delinquents has been attacking and killing the white rhinoceros, the rhino they've spent years protecting.

In South Africa's Pilanesberg Park, rhinos were thriving until an unknown killer began stalking them. Thirty-nine rhinos, 10 percent of the population in the park, were killed.
...

That's because the prime suspects were not humans, but elephants. It turned out that young male elephants were behind the murders of Pilanesberg's rhinos.

Why would they do it? Well, like juvenile delinquents, they had grown up without role models.

They decided to bring in some even larger bull elephants.

In 1998, the rangers at Kruger National Park brought in some of these big elephants, in specially designed trucks. No one had ever tried to move elephants that large before.
The bigger, older elephants established a new hierarchy, in part by sparring with the younger elephants to discourage them from being sexually active. That means less testosterone, and that's good news for the rhinos.

Van Dyk compared it to a group of teen-agers who have been acting up who are confronted by their fathers all of a sudden.

The Pilanesberg juveniles seem to be reading the message loud and clear. Since the big bulls arrived, not one rhino has been killed."

Did the juvenile delinquent elephants remove the Rhino horn to sell on the black market?

I've seen this analogy plenty of times and it's fitting. Males need older males to keep them in line and to teach them how to behave.

Like many boys, I was being disrespectful to my mom and my father came up behind me, pulled me out of the room by my hair, and gave me a hiding I'll never forget. It was a lesson that only had to be taught once.

Sounds like you were abused.

They used to call it disciplined. Made boys into men, now boys just get older.

So boys without fathers will start murdering rhino's?

There is a serious discussion to be had about the need for male role models in a boys life- but humans are not elephants nor are we rhino's.

Elephants become faggots if they kill rhino's?

You must imagine some odd things they do with that rhino's horn.

Aggression should be embraced... focused... directed... in a way that fuels one's passions, desires, and objectives... and in a manner that is in harmony with one's True Will. This takes training... and usually requires more discipline than can be expected from a child's mind. A mentor can provide the necessary direction, but that teacher, that guide, does not necessarily have to be a "father" figure. It can be a mother, a sibling, a distant relative, a friend... even something spiritual like a "god" or a "goddess".

Boys worry more about personal as well as family security...

Study: Boys Affected More Than Girls By ‘Family Disadvantages’
December 30, 2015 | “Family disadvantages” - including poverty, low education level of the mother, and not having a father in the house - affect boys more than their sisters, according to a recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Northwestern University, and the University of Florida analyzed ten years of administrative records for Florida students born between 1992 and 2002. They found that boys in families facing adverse circumstances significantly underperformed their sisters in behavioral and educational outcomes despite the fact that they had similar upbringings.

The study, which was published in October, compared sibling students of opposite gender in Florida, and found a substantial “gender gap” between boys and girls. Researchers found that a large portion of school suspensions, poor test scores, and cognitive or behavioral disabilities could be accounted for by “family disadvantages.” "Family disadvantage makes both a substantial direct contribution to the gender gap as well as an indirect contribution through its influence on schools and neighborhoods," they noted. "The impact of family disadvantage on the outcomes of boys relative to girls is already evident by the time of kindergarten entry, is further manifested in behavioral and educational gaps in elementary and middle-school performance, and crystallizes into sharp differences in high school graduations by age 18 and criminal activity by age 16,” the study concludes.

"These differences are largely independent of neighborhood quality and school quality, though we observe that better-quality schools help to mitigate the gender gap in educational and behavioral outcomes," the study found. “These estimates imply that a sizable portion of the minority-white difference in educational and behavioral gender gaps is attributable to higher degrees of family disadvantage among minority families — which in turn disproportionately impairs the behavioral and educational advancement of minority relative to white boys.”

CNSNews.com asked Christina Hoff Sommers, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of The War Against Boys: How Misguided Policies Are Harming Our Young Men, for her views regarding the study findings. “There have been similar findings,” she replied. “A few years ago, a think tank called the Third Way - it's a bipartisan group of social scientists and researchers who looked at social problems and try to cancel out one another's biases, you have liberals and conservatives - and they found that boys are more vulnerable to family instability than girls. And especially hard hit are working class White, Hispanic, and African American boys, working class and poor.” “The Third Way found it in their research, and now again we have a group of researchers who have documented the same phenomena," she continued.
