The ‘Feminization’ of America’s Boys
Feminists are miserable women – they want to dominate men, and then when they succeed, they hate the men they dominate

In 2008 I wrote this article (below) for my Townhall column: “Girly Men and Girly Sons,” about the “feminization” or effeminization of America’s boys, noting that a boy with a feminist mother does not have a chance; he has been terrorized for years.

Girly Men and Girly Sons
2008: I have written a great deal about the feminization of America’s boys. While Feminists have become more masculine with every passing year, men and boys have become wimpy, feminized and afraid of their own shadows.
About five years ago at a Boy Scout meeting for my son who had been recently promoted to Boy Scout from Webelos, I looked around the room and shivered. I leaned over to my husband and whispered, “There’s not a single male role model in this room.” Shortly after that meeting, my son changed Boy Scout troops to another where men ran the troop – although many pushy mothers tried.
Between the teachers, pushy feminist mothers, lawyers and Hollywood depicting men as idiots, men have been relegated to the dufus category and boys are cry babies. On the playground, boys can’t play chase – someone might get hurt. Boys can’t fight – someone might get hurt. They can’t play on the monkey bars or jungle gyms, or play King of the Hill, or tackle soccer, or anything that might involve getting roughed up. Even in dodge ball, boys get in trouble for throwing the ball too hard at girls.
In 1st grade, my son was asked not to return to the snooty school he attended. I wondered what egregious act he might have committed to elicit such a strong, negative response from the school. The only answer I got from his teacher is that he got in trouble for being squirrly in the PE line. This was a female-dominated school, where natural boyish behavior was supressed and they were made to learn French. Obviously, it was a blessing that my son did not continue attending such a female dominated, effeminizing, snob school. And today, he’s at a Midshipman at the Naval Academy – manly stuff.
Feminists are miserable women – they want to dominate men, and then when they succeed at that, they hate the men they dominate. Feminists have become so masculine over the years, it’s often difficult to differentiate between a “feminist” and a gender-bending woman. It used to be attractive to be feminine. Manly men liked us, and we where happy being pretty, wearing dresses and makeup, being good mommies and wives, and often managing work.
I heard a recent interview with columnist Kathleen Parker. Her new book, “Save The Males” is an accurate depiction of our anti-male culture and the ramifications. We are living the evidence.
In September 2006, I wrote The Selfish Pursuit of Feminism, and later turned it into a newspaper column here. And in 2005, I wrote my first post on the Feminizing of Boys here. It’s a problem, and a big one. A boy with a feminist mother does not have a chance; he’s been terrorized for years. When he realizes who he is, he’s already married to a demanding, pushy wife.
Parents must take charge of their boys and refuse to allow schools and female teachers to dictate medications and treatments that render them docile.
I’d like your thoughts and experiences. And if you wear socks with your sandals, don’t bother.

A little snarky, yes, but it was such a real problem in 2008, and a battle for most of my son’s schooling. He even encountered feminist professors at the Naval Academy – but he was on his own at that point.
The reason I am bringing this column back is thanks to Joe Getty of the Armstrong and Getty Show, who spent a significant amount of time Tuesday sharing Helen Andrews’ spot-on article “The Great Feminization.”
Andrews goes through the development of today’s destructive “wokeness,” as well as “cancel culture” and the female takeover of institutions and professions. She addresses the female tendency of emotion over reason, explaining that this is what fuels wokeness and cancel culture – and, the significant loss of male leadership in corporate America, academia, and the legal field which has led to a loss of complete and total objectivity.
I was a Human Resources Director for 20 years for a large manufacturing business – male dominated manufacturing and production. There were women who worked at the company, and rarely did we have male-female issues. The owner was male, most of the production department managers were male, but there were also women in important management positions, and none were threatened by the men.
However, I have observed related businesses with female dominance lose track of the purpose of the business. Corporate America has lost its way, and it’s largely to do with DEI obsession, and corporate leaders elevated not for their talent but because of their gender and race.
If you missed the A&G show Tuesday, here it is, and it is worth your time. This discussion is more important today than it ever was, especially when you see what is happening in California’s public schools.
As I requested in 2008, “I’d like your thoughts and experiences.” And I won’t say a thing if you wear socks with your sandals…. unless you are this guy at the No Kings protest.

The soul of America has been eviscerated. As Tucker Carson wrote, diversity destroyed America.
A little snarky, yes? No? Prescient? Yes? The Feminizing of America will be our demise. Empathetic judges allowing killers and the deranged to roam free with little or no consequences is the result of Feminizing the judiciary. Feminists dominate education which pollute the minds of children, especially boys and perpetuate this Feminization. For the life of me I’m not sure how it can be stopped. Perhaps if men grow a pair and stand tall.
Real men of which there are none would have stopped dead in its tracks the gender altering mutalation surgeries.
Newsom the degenerate is fixated on abortion and human mutilation.
Can’t help laughing every time I see that ridiculous guy in the shark P.J.s at the “No Kings” protest. What the heck? Is it the “furry” thing? Is it the desperation? Is it the insanity? Or is he just hiding? From everyone?
Katy Grimes: “Feminists are miserable women – they want to dominate men, and then when they succeed at that, they hate the men they dominate.

Is it too late for most to return to sanity? I can remember thinking at one point long ago that men had been so beaten up over the years that I was amazed by any act of chivalry from them, no matter how small, like holding a door open or helping after all the parcels had been clumsily dropped everywhere on the street. And in general, being amazed that so many of them didn’t seem to be carrying around resentment for how they had been marginalized by what had become very nasty and misguided feminism. But those are real men who didn’t allow themselves to become feminized by the women in their lives. And the women in their lives were (and are) grateful for them.
I actually remember the 2008 Katy Grimes column —- Katy was ahead of the curve, as usual —- but apparently a critical mass of people had not yet figured out what had gone wrong. We weren’t swimming in it yet; it hadn’t totally undermined American society yet. But now it has, Helen Andrews writes a watershed essay connecting “woke” and the destructive side of feminism, and the whole mess has been so pervasive and damaging that maybe we are ready to turn the corner now, and make some changes, or be willing to hop on to the already-hopeful changes we are beginning to see now.
This article is right on the money, and is what “red pill” and MGTOW (men going their own way) is all about. There is an encouraging shift going on, and we can see that based on the increase in Republican voter registrations of young men. Many young men are sick of this feminist garbage, and sick of feminist women. They want nothing to do with them, and definitely won’t commit to them with their promiscuous history.
Check out all of the YouTube videos on the polarity reversal that is endemic in today’s culture, and the backlash from men who are sick of the 304 women or “girl bosses” that have been elevated in contemporary culture…
But it all makes sense when one views the situation through the lens of the globalists, who want to reduce the population as their end-goal, by whatever means necessary….
The globalists have destroyed our currency and left Americans with irreconcilable debt. Now they’re breaking the news to us in a way that will they hope preclude us destroying THEIR acquired equity and infrastructure; all that once was owned by Americans and was a sovereign America.
Gosh Katy,
Sounds precisely like the education of our modern doctors. Although I no longer practice medicine, I do keep up with continuing medical education and am here to tell your readers that I absolutely agree with your assessment of just how destructive DEI has been in de-testosteronizing male physicians. A female dominant medical physician workforce has turned or prrevious male physician workforce into a pathetic group of worms, and they know it. There are both culpability and liability issues here. Get DEI out of medical education!
DEI just another conceived distraction intended to emotionalize the minions thus invoking more chaos into the plan/scheme of our cultural destruction.
Every issue the Republicans and Democrats create and rally around are distractions intended to ensure the populace is prevented from involving themselves in any critical issues of governmental governorance and policy.
Those in the position of dominion over us ensure we’re only allowed to participate in chaotic issues in lieu of anything substantive to our survival.
Whether it is this or other matters related to our well being, each and every time the normal is inverted and replaced with a deviant variant that always is counter to what is right, normal, healthy and Godly.
A singlewoman about thirty asked “where have all the men gone?” An older man replied “you turned them into girls.” Toxic feminism at work. Not too long ago I went to an adult beverage dispensery for a quick liquid refreshment. It was only I, two female patrons and a female barkeep in the place. The three women were trashing men, ranting about what assholes men were. When I got up to leave, I said to them “I’m going to leave you girls with this thought, how many women actually trust other women?” Their eyes got big and they had a look of shock about them, one said that she trusted men more than women. I said “I like women, but I don’t trust them either.” I was married for more than 20 years, a girlfriend lived with me for 16 years, there was a short series of live togethers in between. There are things I miss about having a woman in the house, but I don’t want to put up with the nonsense that comes with it, I’m just too old for it. Besides, there’s not enough closet space for all those frickin’ shoes.
Another short comment… It seems to me the difference between men and women can be boiled down to this: Picture a multi family get together on a pleasant afternoon. The kids are playing in the pool. The women are in the house making margaritas and bitching about their men. Meanwhile, the men are around the bbq telling funny stories, roasting each other and lighting their farts on fire.
I’m reminded of a joke, which I’ll cut short. A man is enjoying the company of some friends, during which he has nursed his glass of beer for an hour and a half. Then someone asks about his new bride. The man pounds his beer and orders another beer and a shot, which he also pounds both before answering. It turns out that that the woman has taken a sudden interest in the toilet seat and it appears she is making the issue central to their matrimony. The man pounds another beer and a shot before revealing that to get her off his back he resolved to put the seat down – but now she’s making his life a living hell because he never lifts the seat. Downing another beer and shot, he exclaims “I just can’t make her happy.”
More women piss on public toilet seats than men, maybe toilet seats need to be entirely removed so the hoverers don’t make such a mess. In the case of the position of the seat, it’s no one’s fault for lack of situational awareness on the part of the user but the user themself: if you look before you plant in public facilities, maybe you should look before you plant at home.
Some things that have baffled me about women but now I think may have to do with the evolution of our species: The unbridled war of aggression many women wage on one another with their clothes. I think much of that has more to do with showing up other women than attracting men. It seems that even extremly attractive women are insecure about their looks. To destroy a man attack his competency, a woman her looks. Men tend to dress in looser fitting clothes, womens’ fashions tend to accentuate their female “attractions.” Small breasted women who get breast implants will spend 2 or 3 years after reconstruction shoving them in everyone’s face. There’s a lot of “look at me” to most women. If you work away from home and leave a stash of emergency money at the house such as for plumbing probkems, the fridge goes out and so on, most women will blow it on new furniture and drapes. One bar owner told me that she had been a hair dresser for 16 years. It beat her down because women are never satisfied and compared to that a bar full of drunken men was a piece of cake. I told some apprentices that if a woman wants to be married to you, she wants you to listen to all that nonstop verbiage you don’t understand and she doesn’t want any advice. And, when the navy ship pulling out of port is out of sight of the wives on the dock waving goodby, a good portion of those women make a beeline for the officer’s club. And, there’s nothing like a couple of women driving up to a bar in high dollar cars, wearing expensive clothes, the hair, the fingernails, ordering fifteen dollar drinks, and begin loudly complaining to each other about what deadbeats their ex husbands are and how they’re going to take them back to court to squeeze more child support out of them.
Another thing. A lot of women expect for a man to read their mind, and when the unverbalized thought fails to make it into the man’s skull, she still won’t tell him. But, she will loudly tell everyone else in town. And, there’s no slander like that voiced by a women who’s half of a relationship breakup. That goes all over town too.
