Study running "significantly improves boys’ attitudes and behaviors associated with healthy masculinity."

I don't think pushing yourself 'til you puke for a sub-17 5k is considered "healthy" in teenage boys, or at least in the states. maybe screwing around with your pals in elementary and running a mile might make you feel proud or something.

There is no such thing as "healthy masculinity", except in the minds of alt-right history-dustbinners.

The study was of a particular non profit program called "Let Me Run."

Gee, no conflict of interest there, in achieving the headlined result....

This article doesn't say what actually goes on in this program, other than how often they meet and that they run a 5k at the very end.

I could probably click through their links, but I'm too lazy, and it's the journalist's job to answer these key questions.

Running? Masculinity?

HA HA HA HA!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!

I know what the hell is healthy masculinity??

The idea that masculinity in the western sense is what is considered 'normal' or 'healthy' for every single male human??

Doesn't make any sense. It's just a meaningless concept

Ever heard of Galen Rupp?

Wtf why is everyone attacking this? How is encouraging boys to run a bad thing? You don't think running improves your mood?

I always felt runners were way too sensitive in terms of so called healthy masculinity.

I always found basketball to be the best. You talked and had to hear serious smack talk and the trick was to do it without ever letting it get to you. You literally said things you could never say without somebody getting their ass kicked. You learned to yell, break a guy paychologically down with an insult or a move, then laugh about it and tell everyone to chill if things got too serious.

Why not?

"“Society seemed to be setting an expectation that boys are not capable of settling down, being respectful of people and property, being caring, and having the ability to concentrate,”

There is a very creepy and subversive agenda by libs, academia and even corporate America to emasculate men. They don't want boys to be boys and men to be men. They want non-threatening, effete and effeminate males who obey, comply and conform. They twist meanings of words and ideas. Their version of "respectful" is something entirely different. It's evil.

Completely unbiased study.

The point is that the authors are disingenuous in claiming that the benefits of running translate to "healthy masculinity" (as if this can even be defined or assessed).

Running helps all people with their mood, cognitive acuity, whatever. That it happens to help boys of a certain age is obviously not surprising.

If I came up with a "study" that found that racist rednecks can last longer at hot-weather Klan rallies if they drink some fluids over a 12-hour period vs. abstaining from hydration, would this be a good reason to isolate the beneficial effects of drinking water to racist rednecks?

So you're claiming that men can't follow directions or rules, and that it's wrong to try to help them do that?

Settling down, respecting property rights, and concentrating on goals are core conservative values. Depending on how the program handles them, so are respect and caring for others (see: Christianity).

So what the f*ck are you talking about?

Nope, read my post again. Keep reading until you get it.

I support this program as long as they don't discriminate against those who choose to run on "Pure Hate".
