It is unfortunate, and timeless, that youth proclaim a bravado, and degree of experience, that few of them actually have. The majority would be followers, who fear that speaking against such crass, ignorant attitudes, would see them branded as wimps, or nerds, and the self doubt that plagues adolescence would make it very difficult for them to stand up against such taunts.
The degree of guidance that young men need to make that epic transition from boyhood, to adulthood, is largely missing in our society, unlike tribal cultures which recognised "rite of passage" rituals, which we do not have. This vacuum is unfortunately filled by the alpha males in the group, who to often are over indulged, selfish little prigs, who deserve a massive kick up the bum, but instead get a new car for their efforts, from a doting family, ignorant of their true persona, and their immature attitudes towards women.
