What Are Little Boys Made of?
Kimmel argues that the boys of America are
depressed, suicidal, frail, and emotionally unavailable due to the lack of
attention we are giving them. Kimmel believes that because of feminism we are
forgetting about the boys and making them the problem. According to Kimmel the
lack of attention is the reason why there is an epidemic amongst young
men. While some argue that it’s the male
pattern of behavior versus the theory of nature vs. nurture, or biological
make-up while other argue that it’s simple peer pressure amongst boys. Kimmel‘s
solution to the problem among boys is to embrace the testosterone pumping
through your veins. Kimmel is arguing that it’s okay to be aggressive as long
as you can control and honor it and unleash it in healthy doses. His main point is that as a boy it’s okay to
an aggressive, risk taker, as long as you can control your actions while
stating that being able to produce testosterone is a natural part of boyhood
that is being taken away from boys causing them to act out.
" Testosterone equal vitality" All we have to do is "honor it and steer it into healthy directions"- A little bit of testosterone is healthy when used correctly
