Do you really think that it is a problem on a massive scale? If you don't have kids why does it matter? If you do have kids, why does it matter if other parents want to "pussify" their children?
I agree that children shouldn't be coddled. I don't think that evidence of the occasional isolated incident that may or may not actually have coddling effect on the children involved amounts to evidence of large scale coddling. I bet that for every instance of "coddling" there is at least one instance of some kid getting the crap kicked out of him/her.
Perhaps all you parents out there who fear the pussification of america could do all your countrymen a favor and beat the hell out of your child. Depussify him/her. If everyone does their part, we'll have nothing to fear.
