The emasculation of the American male has
become a national sport. A typical TV commercial
will show some poor guy, tucked in bed with a thermometer sticking out of his
mouth as his sympathetic wife comforts him, sings a lullaby, and provides just
the right medicine for his ailment. Mothers
always know what’s best.
Sitcoms
show feminized males flitting around with their roommates, giggling, and
struggling against the urge to grow up.
Married men are confused and brow-beaten by their wives, who always have
the right answer to their struggles, punishing them when needed.
I don’t
watch these shows, but my wife does occasionally. Fortunately my wife likes masculinity. If I
asked her to comfort me after a bad dream, she’d grab the car keys and leave me
alone with my blankee. And I wouldn’t
blame her.
But that’s
how men are portrayed in the media. It’s
always the man who can’t fix the leaky faucet.
It’s the man who gets lost driving until his wife helps him find his
way. He’s the poor wimp who must ask his wife if he
can go out and play.
I’d like to
see a commercial where the pathetic husband, squirming due to hemorrhoids,
pleads for help and his loving wife runs in with a hot hair curling iron and
says, “Stop whining! Bend over. I’ll fix it once and for all.”
The
media would never have the cajones to make a woman look as stupid as a bumbling
man. I have to be careful here, because
Gayle will remind me of the time I thought I could change a light switch
without turning off the power and I actually melted a screwdriver.
My wife was
in the design business most of her life and casually dated a few of her male homosexual
associates. She says they were “safe”
and they liked to dance, shop for clothes, and talk about girlie things.
I remember in
college my buddies and I were glad for homosexuals, because they left more
women for us, but then the lesbians came along and screwed that up.
What many
people don’t understand is that women need love and security, but men need
respect. Men don’t get respect by being pusillanimous in the face of female
attempts at domination. That can be loosely
translated to “wimpy,” but I like the word, “pusillanimous.”
Radical feminists have confused gender roles
and resisted the natural aggression and masculinity in men. This has resulted in a delightful compromise-
behold “the metrosexual.”
John Wayne
has been replaced by Johnny Depp. From
Reagan to possibly . . .Hillary? The
fact that this is even possible should scare the hell out of anyone with a
brain! But it is certainly consistent
with the trend.
Men are not
even needed to inseminate a woman now, let alone help raise a child. Soon women
will be able to clone themselves by parthenogenesis like komodo dragons and pit
vipers.
The attack
on men is coming from the establishment and is designed to disempower men in
order to force women to be dependent on the government to provide for them and
protect them.
Notice that
women overwhelmingly vote for more intrusive government, i.e. the Democrat
party. After all, someone has to take
care of them. They sure don’t want to
depend on a bewildered dingbat who would rather watch football than talk about
feelings.
In the UK married men
suffer more abuse from their spouse than married women. The statistics are surprising in the U.S. as well. It’s less reported, because what male would
want to admit that his wife beat the crap out of him? If it went to court, a female attorney and a
female judge would just continue the flagellation.
Obviously
the legal system favors women and discriminates against men. From divorce to equality in sentencing, it’s
no contest.
Masculinity
is a dirty word in our society. Even America has
become feminized and look at the results internationally. America is no longer respected or
feared. Our leaders would rather that America be
loved by our adversaries than respected - a female trait, as I’ve
said. Obama would rather sit with Putin,
smoke a joint, and talk about feelings than take a stand.
I’m having
fun with this article, but there is truth in it. I think men should be masculine and women
should be feminine. It’s as simple as
that. Isn’t that why Adam and Eve frantically
ripped fig leaves off each other in the Garden of Eden?
My wife said I should read your blog anymore!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe said you should ride your "hog" to New Orleans and come back when you are "straight thinking"!!!!
I think that is what she said! I was in bed and she was rubbing my head and I don't hear well when I am being "coddled"!
I think she said that you should not read my blog.
DeleteIt sounds like you have a good thing going with the coddling stuff. Why ruin a good thing? If you whimper pathetically, she'll really get into it. Give it a try.
Oh man Ralph, you're in for it now from the women that read your blog. I hope Gloria Steinem isn't one of your readers. I believe marriages would last longer and be stronger if women were a little more feminine. That doesn't mean for them to be totally submissive but the smart ones make us think we are in charge and that works for me. I can see poison pens heading your direction. You have some big nards buddy, and I admire your masculine bravery.
ReplyDeleteYour ole pal,

DeleteI love women. I just grow tired of men being depicted as wimps and morons in the media. Nothing is more attractive to me than a woman who is smart and feminine. You're right. The smart ones make you think you're the leader. I made sure Gayle read this before I published it, so maybe I wimped out. I think women will agree with me, Jim. At least, I hope so.
I think men should be masculine and women should be feminine. It’s as simple as that
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU RALPH. The above says it all, and that's the way it should be.
Whew...Thanks Sharon. In the comment above, Jim was concerned that women readers would send the ACLU after me, but you confirm my thesis.
DeleteRalph, well done. Love the provocative posts!
ReplyDeleteI may raise hackles sometimes, but I just try to encourage people to think, make connections, and be aware of patterns and trends. And also, I guess, to see the humor in what passes as "wisdom" in contemporary thought.
DeleteThanks, Malcolm.
