The real problem is that over the past 35-40 years, we have systematically destroyed what it takes to raise -- and be -- boys/young men who understand who they are, and who they ought to be.

This. Absolutely this. I didn't watch the video link b/c I I've already reached this conclusion a long time ago.
The only two currencies left in the uber-culture driven by the social/broadcast media seems to be "money" and "fame."
I would not be surprised if the "Weds Walkout" inspires copy cats who think that they will never be rich, but they have another road to national fame and an enduring legacy that inspires walkouts.
Honestly, volunteering in a soup kitchen or staying up overnight with a puking child never inspired any of these jack-whacks to march and those are the types of selfless actions that truly create human (and therefore social) bonds.
