Students warned: Bulging biceps, big guns advance unhealthy masculinity

The size of G.I. Joe’s biceps and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s guns in the Terminator movies is proof that the dominant form of masculinity is out of control.

That message and similar ones were conveyed recently to students during Vanderbilt University’s “Healthy Masculinities Week,” organized by the Margaret Cuninggim Women’s Center. Attendance for students was optional.

The Vanderbilt week kicked off with a lecture by the first man to minor in women’s studies at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Jackson Katz. (His alma mater now offers a bachelor’s in women, gender and sexuality studies.)

Entire article can be found hee.

I felt sick reading this.

Pushing for metrosexual girlie men

Those college students in Oregon last week needed more, not less, bulging biceps around them

Said by some wimp who must have been duct taped to the flag pole as a kid. Upside down. Nude. In winter.

Good story for anyone who still thinks sending their kids to college is noble.

I date and one of the first questions I ask is, innocently, oh do you own a gun? Ha! If he doesn’t, it’s already rocky, if he wouldn’t, he’s TOAST. I luv me a man who could take care of me if the SHTF

Now “healthy masculinity” is pajama boy homo. Good luck girls in finding a man to marry.

Funny how, when they are faced with danger, the girlie-men always call the guys with bulging biceps and big guns to save them.

When the outlaws storm the town, they hide in the church with the women and kids.

Just like the president. One exception is when he was videoed doing dumbbell lateral raises, throwing up those 5lb dumbbells.

Why can't the lesbians just be happy? I mean they have their own center.

But no, they have to rule the world, too.

[TexasCajun]

Look no further than the White House for the best example of the feminization of the liberal man.

[circlecity]

Bwhahahaha. Sun’s out, guns out.

[Regulator]

Gee, did they go to school to be indoctrinated or were they planning on learning something so they could succeed in life?

Oddly I cannot remember any lecture like this in Engineering school...too busy trying to understand the Gibbs function...

“The Vanderbilt week kicked off with a lecture by the first man to minor in women’s studies”

Real men major in women’s studies.
For centuries we’ve been studying them and trying to figure them out.

After years of research we reached the conclusion that there are only two words that consistently get their full approval.

Those words being, “Yes, Dear”.

[BlueNgold]

All of this as a liberal idiot promotes a new show on cable by claiming she has ‘lady b@ll$’.

Ridiculousness is now the order of the day.

When I was involved with anti-war protesting (in another life BC ... before Christ) in '69 and '70 ... there was a large representation of VVAW that had no problem with wading into cops or other opposition

NOW ... we have one or two regular guys that get exhalted to hero status for doing nothing more that standing up for what is right and honoring their oath

I say that, not to denegrate brave men, but to point out a difference I am personally aware of.
