This article is not about what George Carlin called the pussification of the (American) male. This article is not about ever-lowering testosterone levels in men. This article is not about over-diagnosing of ADHD in adolescent males, the over-use of Ritalin to emasculate young men, not about the game of tag being banned on schoolyards in fear of liability or how TV, ads and movies lack positive, realistic male role models.

This article is for all of us and will guide you to a better life.
