If boys have a problem paying attention or behaving in class, it's because they no longer fear being caned for it. Whoever came up with the notion that corporal punishment was bad for boys had clearly never tried to raise or educate one.

If men have a problem finding a place in the world, it's because we have systematically removed heavy labour and physical risk from occupation after occupation.

But primarily, we forgot far too long ago that men and women should not live together.
