Dr. Marianne Legato, MD, on the unique challenges adolescent boys face

At the Male Studies conference 2011, Dr. Marianne Legato, MD, spoke on adolescent boys. She is the founder and director of Columbia College of Medicine’s Partnership for Gender-Specific Medicine, editor of the first text on gender medicine, and founder of the journal, Gender Medicine. Her most recent book is Why Men Die First.

The problem with the adolescent male navigating that difficult transition from puberty to young adulthood is a disconnect in the timing of an abrupt increase in gonadal hormones that occurs in both sexes at the time of puberty, but which for boys produces intense emotional lability, and high intensity feelings, while the part of the brain that develops risk assessment and emotional control and stability, lags well behind. Girls do not have a similar retardation of that center of the brain and therefore are much less likely to incur the kinds of disasters that face adolescent boys until they are 20.

Remember that the next time an adolescent boy is charged with a crime for dating an adolescent girl who is likely at least as physically developed as he is, and more emotionally developed.

Latest news on demonization of male sexuality

Women's lust for "hot guy" stars

One of the reasons I didn't respect many women growing up was because most of them were superficial slaves to their "gina tingles", which is verified by the fact that you can hear a cacophony of horny screams every time a "hot guy" star is on TV. When an attractive female star is on stage, you may hear cheers from the men, but you don't hear them screaming lustily like complete animals, genitalia engorged with blood.

With women, on the other hand, you can hear the distinctly female cheers of lust overriding everything else. They cannot control themselves, and plenty of them get sopping wet guaranteed.

Not attractive, ladies. Get a little modesty, eh?

And remember, it's not "misogyny" if it's true. :)

This is why I laugh every time I hear that men are animals who just want sex, and women are angels.

Here's an example of women's unabashed horniness being excused, and women in the crowd cheering her on:



That this short of shit is excused and encouraged as all forms of male sexuality are demonized is pathetic.

From BinaryShadow at reddit/mensrights:

It's also perfectly fine for the women in the audience to cat call like he's a piece of meat. Had men done that to an attractive woman they would have been warned and then escorted out the premises (if she wasn't "offended" by them. If she was they would have been arrested).
