More on Traditional Male Skills.

From Glenn, who mentions once again the Popular Mechanics work on recapturing handiness for males (and interested females), and points out that even Rush Limbaugh is aware of the trend toward males being Distinctly Unhandy.

I've been wanting to get The Dangerous Book for Boys for one of my nephews. But the very title could get me kicked out of my family: my sister-in-law is a safety nut—to a pathological degree. I'm not sure either of my nephews has ever skinned a knee.

The loophole: I could get it for my brother, their father. You know—as an Item of Cultural Interest.

1 Just buy the book, already! Give them the book, the consequences be damned. Oh, and don't worry.... a trend is only that. There are still plenty of us (well, I can only speak for me, I reckon) that are quite handy. But, maybe if I was only 23 I might not be, but I am 50 and grew up when boys were boys. Lucky me... Interesting site you have....
