Bumfights a video too far
The whole documentary is about the rise in the love for violence among young kids or society in general. The question is not really about the lack of discipline in schools, but the the need for violence as being fundamental to the sense of self among teens of today and the reasons behind it. Why were such problems never present centuries before the sexual revolution/feminism, and why have these problems arisen now. What has changed??? Why is it common to call a woman a bitch today, so much so that eminem has made millions out of misogyn, but why werent these the morals of the conservative society of the past.
The main issue is the morality of the society has changed. One of the primary reasons behind this is the breaking down of the family unit, with divorces frequent and boyz being brought up by their moms. There is an unconcious need for a boy to identify with a male figure, the lack of such leads to naturalization of violence as a way of affirming of manhood.
We can sit and argue about the principle of gender equality, but then how about a few questions. Why are there frequent divorces now compared to the days when there was no gender equality.
Just like the hatred for a guy who is the recepient in gay sex is almost universal in all cultures, because of its association to feminity. Such hatred is hard wired in the mind of most men. We could also understand this in evolutionary terms. A man would have to be strong and lead the way in a hunter gatherer setting and hence a hatred of feminity in man must have been hard wired in the brain of men, in accordance with the principle of survival of the human species. (This simple explanation will not be honored in most academic settings, where the intellectual conduct is driven more by political correctness and other agendas hidden or otherwise, rather than the principle: truth for the sake of truth)
This inherent hard wiring in the brain of the majority of men of equating masculinity as an hatred of feminity really makes equality of the sexes disastrous in practise atleast in most households. It is this reason that has led to breaking up of the family unit and the lack of a strong father figure that has led to increase in violence in most teens who are just following their nature to feel like men.
Arguing from the point of view of the principle of human equality, changing of society is required in order to further the goals of feminism. The best option however is to structure society so that it is best in tune with the limbic system of the human brain (wchich cannot be changed), so as to maximize happiness in human kind.
