Men or Boys?
Here are two articles claiming guys are delaying their maturity in favor for video games. Agree or disagree??

Personally, I love this line:
Did the liberation of our daughters mean young men would become so creepy that they’d have to go through life alone?
And this one:
In the almost half-century since the arrival of the pill, the burden of hearth and home (that is, of society’s having enough stable ones), is falling once again on young women. They’re the ones who are going to have to demand better, more mature, more responsible, yes, even more sanitary conduct on the part of the new horde of child-men before they have anything serious — especially sex — to do with them. Perhaps a mandatory study of Lysistrata, where women could learn about collective female power when sex is withheld, is in order. Otherwise, they’re condemned to trying to find suitable candidates for love and marriage amid the trash of a beer-sodden NFL pizza party.
