I do notice that in my classes that girls are usually recieving the higher grades and more on top of their school work. But does this mean that boy and men in society today are not wanting to grow up and take repsonsibility? Maybe or maybe not. Scientifically it has been proven that women that mature earlier than men do, so maybe girls\/women just are more repsonsbile then most men\/boys while they suffer from the "Peter Pan Syndrome." Or maybe it is the fact the Feminism in America is just more visible and has a greater effect on men. There could be a lot of explainations. I think that it is iomportant for both men and women to be equal and it is good to see that women are becoming more sucessful, however, it means for us men, we have to step it up.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44198978","dateCreated":"1318534545","smartDate":"Oct 13, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"austino19","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/austino19","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44198978"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event Response","description":"I think this article is interesting because it reveals the peter pan in men today.  The men are getting lazy and spend most of their time playing video games.  Instead the women of the world are trying to make a change in their families by offering a job and some income to the family. I feel as though many relationships of marriage in today's world are also more mom based homes.  In the sense that the moms have the final say in the homes.  Are are known as the boss of the household. I am not surprised about how many men just waste their time playing video games.  Because I know adults today that still play video games and have struggled with their relationships because of the fact that they spend all of their time not socializing with people.  The men are becoming lazier then the men, while the women tries and supports the family on her own.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44197340","dateCreated":"1318532864","smartDate":"Oct 13, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"carinada","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/carinada","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44197340"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event Response","description":"I found this article very interesting because I never really got to see any studies done that proved that "boys will always be boys".

It was interesting to see that women have passed the men in both school and the workplace. I also found it sad that there are more grown men who play video games than teenage boys who do. I think that the reason that there are so many "peter pan" men in America is because of the role that women have in our country. Because women are so empowered, the men of America are seen as lazy and immature in comparison to the more accomplished women. There was also the topic of chivalry in this article, and I think that chivalry should still be practiced today. Most girls I know would be extremely happy with boys who always held open doors, offered to pay, and just did the little things that really matter. However, I do believe that in some cases, there is a fine line because some women could take these chivalrous acts and misinterpret them as signs of superiority. I believe that the feminist movement is an eye opener, and that men in America need to realize that women are indeed powerful, but that does not mean that the men can just sit around and watch them.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44159926","dateCreated":"1318488858","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"Kylietakafuji","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Kylietakafuji","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44159926"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event Response","description":"I agree with the article in the sense that it is hard to find a "good" man now days but not because they are still "peter Pans" but because its hard to find a good match for oneself.  I think that even though there are the many men playing video games there are also the many men that work hard everyday.  I also agree though that the men playing video games need to grow up, and contribute in some way to our declining society.  Everyone has their moment of childlike behavior but, to be stuck in that time period and state of mind is not good.  I believe that the peter pans should balance their time more wisely.  In my opinion if a man pays for my dinner it does not make me feel less superior, but that he is doing an act of kindness.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44159920","dateCreated":"1318488835","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"saphyre_rezentes","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/saphyre_rezentes","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44159920"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event Response","description":"I found this article so true. I agree with the author. Nowadays, there are more boys and less men. There is a very clear difference between men and boys. Women are exceeding men in many areas such as going to college and getting a degree, getting good paying jobs, and just being a happy person in general. More and more boys are staying boys as they grow older, and it's sad. They need to seriously "man up" because life isn't just fun and games. If boys want an amazing wife and a beautiful family, he needs to be a man, a real man. Women have come a long way, and they're doing a good job of surpassing standards. Both men and women need to continue to to treat each other with respect and equality.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44159872","dateCreated":"1318488608","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"annikastreng","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/annikastreng","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44159872"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"current event response","description":" This was indeed a very interesting article. While reading the article, I feel as though the author, Penny Young Nance, could be biased. I feel as though she could possibly be in search of "a good man" herself and is looking for a reason to insult men. I do not find it shocking that more adult men play video games than teenage boys. However, just because someone plays video games, does not mean they are lazy or do it frequently. Maybe these adult men did not have the newer technology when they were teenage boys and are now experiencing the innovations of the 21st century. In addition, women should never be offended when a man offers to pay the tab. Chivalry is not and should never be dead. Impressing and taking care of a woman should always be a requirement no matter what her career or social status is.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44159820","dateCreated":"1318488429","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"shelbyf1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/shelbyf1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44159820"},"dateDigested":1532141273,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event","description":"This article was interesting comparing realistic men to Peter Pan. Unfortunately in our society today, there is not much of a difference. Men are usually considered to be the more competitive sex. Right now in the work place they are not winning. When men realize they are not winning and don't see a potential win, they tend to give up. This could be what's happening in the work place with men and women. Men's 'peter pan' syndrome could be an effect of losing in the work place. In my opinion, as a woman, it is not insulting for a man to pay for dinner; it shows chivalry and respect. It is always nice to have respect towards your partner; paying for dinner is a form of respect on the first date. Possibly after a while, in order for the women to show respect back to her partner, she should at least suggest that she pay for a dinner. Women have this ideal man. This image unfortunately does not live up to many of the women's standards. The role of a chivalrous, supportive, prince charming could be an analogy of the men's ideal body standards for a woman. Men don\u2019t live up to the prince charming while some women don\u2019t live up to a standard body image. They don\u2019t necessarily have to, just like women shouldn\u2019t have to live up to a perfect body type. There should be a wide variety of a typical male character or a typical female body. It is somewhat nice to see that some fashion magazines are accepting plus size models and trying to alter the way media has evolved. The 'stupid guy' unfortunately is broadcasted across media, through movies and commercials. Maybe the idea that less men go to college now days causes people to classify women as the intellectual bunch in society. Peter pan is a simple example of a boy not wanting to grow up, in other words never going somewhere after high school. Usually the term mid-life crisis is classified with a male in his 30's or 40's which is another \u2018peter pan\u2019 syndrome. The question also arises, do women exemplify a 'peter pan' woman. I would possibly take this to the next level and say that even women don't grow up; they can be the emotional, tantrum little girl even in her 30's.  If men continue to decline in terms of their careers, possibly women will be exemplifying chivalry sooner than we know it. The stay at home dad will become less rare, while on the other hand, the working mom will be the source of income and the next one to pay for dinner.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"44156583","dateCreated":"1318478662","smartDate":"Oct 12, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"brfreema","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/brfreema","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/iolaniwomenlit.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/44156583"},"dateDigested":1532141274,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Current Event Response ","description":"I found this topic to be very interesting.  It evoked many thoughts into my mind concerning my own personal growth and relationship.  I go to school every day and see all these young ladies beating me in my classes. It can be frustrating at times but, a little competition is not a big deal.  I wouldn\u2019t mind  just coasting through college and becoming a stay home dad and have my wife go off to work. I mean that would be awesome. I would have time to work on cars, build my own house (something I have always wanted to do) and just take care of the family.  This article only intensifies my wanting to become a stay at home dad, but not necessarily a Peter Pan man. I found it interesting how it pointed out that men from 18-34yrs old play more video games than younger kids.  That\u2019s pathetic.  Also the question of chivalry in paying for diner, opening doors, and pulling out chairs, in my mind, is still appropriate and should be practiced without women taking offense to acts of kindness and mannerism.  It should be customary for the woman to offer to pay for the meal, but the man should tell her to put her wallet away and that he would pay for the meal.  Also he is to expect nothing in return, except maybe a second date, if he is lucky.  In the future, I believe chivalry will die and both sexes will treat each other with equal manners and respect.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":true},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
