The boy in the video is confident, enjoys competition with other boys, is disciplined and applies himself at dancing ballet--this is masculinity. If he is allowed to continue in this vein, I expect that he will be successful in life as he grows up.
I posted this comment and the accompanying video on a group frequented by feminists. My post got plenty of likes from the feminists--though I think they missed the point entirely. The point is that boys thrive on competition and discipline as this builds confidence. It does not matter if it is in ballet or in sports such as ice hockey or football. Boys need structure and the ability to build confidence and grow into men. I think that all that the feminists saw is a boy dancing ballet, and jumped to the conclusion that he is emasculated. The boy in the video is confident, enjoys competition with other boys, is disciplined and applies himself at dancing ballet--this is masculinity. If he is allowed to continue in this vein, I expect that he will be successful in life as he grows up.
