No. Soy boys came to exist when Karen and helicopter parents wouldn’t allow their child to feel any amount of discomfort, anxiety, or shame.

The crusade against corporal punishment accelerated the process.

When that evil twat Hillary wrote It takes a village. bullshite it takes adults to raise children.

Nah, pretty sure it was when everybody started getting a trophy

no, came about when ADD drugs started being dispensed like M&Ms

I think the first step was youth soccer and with youth soccer came participation trophies and orange wedges.
Then kids grew up able to hide on a field of 11 players, avoid physical contact and not use their hands,
Before soccer a kid would get a little banged up and the coaches parents would tell them to tough it out. With soccer it became the whole team take a knee while Johnny cries about getting kicked in the shin guard. Even watching the pros you see them over react to getting touched by another player as they roll around crying.
No longer do we celebrate football players finishing a game on a broken leg or tell the baseball player to rub some dirt on it, The reason for this is the acceptance of soccer in the United States.

Look at playgrounds from 50-60 years ago, and compare them to the playgrounds of today.
The discrepancy isn’t a coincidence.

And the next tine you have your kiddos trick or treat around a bunch of truck tailgates in a parking lot, rather than going door to door and meeting their neighbors—who aren’t the psychopaths you’ve convinced yourself they are—point the soy finger at yourself.
