I think the point of the article is the way that popular media tries to define manhood is detrimental to people of both genders in all stages of life.

I agree with that basic statement. However, I disagree with some of the conclusions the author draws in the second half of the article. Some are wrong (not all female teachers who have sex with students get a slap on the wrist: http://www.wnd.com/2011/06/39783/) or illogically formed (I don't see how his last two points follow logically).

Also, remember, before 40 Year Old Virgin came Never Been Kissed. The things that the author says don't only apply to men.

That's probably more accurate.

And sure, some of the conclusions are true without actually following from the arguments. At least he has examples to illustrate his points.

These ideas might not have 100% coverage in our culture, but the rate is definitely high enough that, even if you never go out of your way to look for them, you will run into them often.

eta: about your examples: I think it's been getting worse lately.
