That is your opinion, not one I agree with though.

Of my three nephews one is very shy but he is also the one out of the three that pursues any athletic endeavor whatsoever. He also takes the most interests in any boxing fundamental I try to impart on him. The other two nephews are less interested and the most daring out of the three (and he is pretty daring) does not care much for sports or learning any aspect of fighting.

Being male, and having lived in the "world" of males all my life, I'm aware there is a general belief that a person is simply born the way they are. Therefore more shy or timid boys are simply dismissed (same thing with men). My first boxing coach was adamant that: "Champions are made not born."

I will not glove my nephew up against a boy that really outclasses him in fighting let alone put him in a ring with a girl. Not at this point in his life. His ego and confidence must be raised, and it won't simply come from him, not on his own guidance that is, it'll partially come from the invisible hand of guidance from adults (or friends) in his life like me. That's what I'm here for. That's why God put me here.

Assuming I ever one day have some young fighters under my charge (not that I ever will) I will not abandon them to being broken, through humiliation, when they lack any mature qualities as a fighter or the mind of a journeyman. I'll leave that for those corners that simply are about exploitation of fighters and making profit.


As for your videos... they have nothing to do with my point nor the *sociological* realities of the world nor the psychological state of building Rangers or breaking men into slaves. And you can break boys and men... look at the historicity of slavery from China to the "New World" gender roles have always mattered. In the Eastern world they were found of castrating young men if they were enslaved. The word slave as you may know comes from the word "Slav." The Slavic people were at one time prized as slaves by the Arabs, in fact "Slav" became synonymous with "eunuch" with the Arabs.

Sociologist tell us that all domination requires submission by others through cooperation in the social structures. They tell us that domination - such as through the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade - relied less upon violence than mere acceptance by others in the social structures. Passive agreement if you will. This may shed better light on why black men were repeatedly humiliated before the eyes of black women. Psychologically many or most people begin to assume the ID's society gives them be it a "fag" or an emasculated heterosexual male. The many transsexuals of Brazil eventually adopt the "viado" or "fag" and "b***h" labels they are frequently called - this moves beyond fetish (S&M) into personal internalization and identification for them.

Society is not gender neutral and likely never will be. First of all sociologist, psychologist, and even the Catholic Church state or acknowledge that gender and sex are not the same thing. A person's sex is determined by their chromosomes (in terms of natural science [not social science per se]) but a persons gender is based upon behaviors and other factors. Therefore a person can be of the male sex but of the female gender. (the only disagreement the Catholic Church has on this is that it states a persons gender should match a persons sex)

The world will become gender neutral when both sexes dress the same, walk the same, and both use the same scents (perfumes/colognes), and when a boy kicking the sh*t out of a girl on a playground is considered as macho as kicking the sh*t out of a boy. Frankly, most the world will have to become bisexual, and more encouraging of women loosing their breasts to shrapnel on the battlefield for the absence of "gender" to occur in the world. I doubt that will be anytime soon.


Sorry for the long rant.
