Guyland

Kimmel talks about the male transitioning period from adolescence to manhood. Men need more attention because this is an extremely difficult time for them. They strive to prove their masculinity, while being freed from their parents' guidance and whirled into a new world with new people and partying and new habits. They party and fight and bully to make themselves feel more manly because they are unsure of themselves. They live at home or with many men because they feel no pressure to start a family or live independently. I never realized how old males can remain in Guyland. I think males do need more attention because the "boys will be boys" saying is getting old and isn't fixing the spreading lethargy and insecurities of men of this era.
