Define ‘masculinity’.
Children learn from other children. Usually older children. Children are largely being raised by the state and that is never a good thing as it leads to conformity. Educational institutions look at children as future workforce and not as individuals.
My 2c.
I completely agree with you wrt. to where most children are getting their actual raising from. This is amplified by the lack of direction commonly given by parents.
As far as defining masculinity, I mean it in the sense that psychologists use it: the traits that are generally common to males.
These allegations don't seem to be problems in other highly-developed nations.
To me your experiences only emphasize this point. Large portions of our society have decided that masculinity is inherently toxic. We've also, generally speaking, de-emphasized the role of discipline in parenting (I'm not talking about spanking). Our school system has long been stacked against young boys. I think that, as a society, we've forgotten how to parent children, especially boys.
