| Naahhh....In good faith, I think you exaggerate.
See...the problem with accusing a certain part of "bias" is that it is never clear where the real 'CENTER' is.
Moreover, the part that has managed to implant its skewness/bias in society's consciousness for a very, very long time is the one that comes out sounding "truthful", even if "the truth" is not exactly with it.
Anything that deviates from that - sounds "biased".
The only quick and delightfully easy to observe facts that come to mind when reading your post are:
1. Men still rule the world big time (in a very unsuccesful manner, for that manner - as it can very well be observed); so mind you, I see no male disadvantage here and no feminization of society whatsoever.
2. Many boys (socialized by sociopathic parents, most probably fathers obssessed with testosterone) continue to think it is OK to bully, hit, shove, ridicule...or even shoot - somebody/something that appears weak(er).
3. Society continues to be ruled by mass hysteria when it comes to male-oriented sporting events. I do not know of anything similar targeting women.
3. Prisons are still filled with males (the majority of criminals, rapists and thieves (including Enron-type) continue to be males). I know...old arguments...but very telling.
4. The majority of resources and property (which are very good for keeping others in check) continue to be had by men.
5. Any society on the face of this Earth can benefit from less AGRESSIVITY(traditionally associated with the male...not that the female would be incapable of displaying that) and from more COOPERATION AND EMPATHY (traditionally associated with the female...not that a male would be incapable of that either).
Hardly any significant "feminization" of society out there.
Everything else is fluff.
Do I agree with forced medication of children? No.
Would I like to see exactly what kind of "normally testosteronish behavior" you were talking about when you mentioned "poor innocent little boys" being "medicated"? Yes.
Chill. The feminization of society is a myth used by power-hungry men and their brainwashed women to maintain the enormous imbalance of power that has existed between sexes for ages.
Something that is just purely and essentially WRONG.
