Students warned: Bulging biceps, big guns advance unhealthy masculinity
The College Fix ^ | October 5, 2015 | JR Ridley

Posted on 10/05/2015 6:20:33 AM PDT by tang-soo

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.)

Oh yes, men should ALWAYS rely on a bunch of Lesbians to tell them what ‘healthy masculinity’ is! /s

I find it interesting that they are now trying to make masculinity out to be “unhealthy”. I guess “unbecoming” didn’t work well enough to stamp out real masculinity.

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.

You’ve got a point. But let me add that too many men are responding in the wrong ways to leftist culture’s attempt to neuterize people. Biceps and guns are no substitute for vigorous, responsible fatherhood with the right women.

If the women on this campus can tell the men how to be manly, can the men on this campus tell the women how to be ladylike?

Because I’d love to read that story!

Both in Imperial China and the Ottoman Empire, they initially made the mistake of bringing eunuchs into their government. They both quickly realized that, having nothing else to occupy their time, eunuchs spent all of it intriguing for more power.

This led to firm rules that they should never, ever, be put in positions of power.

It is a good rule to be aware of, as it still applies, for the same reasons.

Oh, yes, I'll be sure to attend anything sponsored by a so-called women's center.

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.

Beta male?

DANG!

They can’t kill all males, just yet. (They want to.) So they castrate men and turn them into wimpy candy-a$$ sissies.

Sooner or later, we will have to change nomenclature for university degrees due to the fact that a doctorate in womyn’s studies and those of its ilk are equivalent to that “good camper” certificate you received back in third grade summer camp.

We won’t even aproach the low-grade cretins out there flogging “professor” titles.

Yeah, because the world needs more guys that would let their girlfriend change their tire - No Sir! Not where I come from.

We have a name for guys like that where I come from, and most guys never want to be called that, ever. And God forbid your mamma ever found out....And no decent woman would ever want to be with a little fairy princess of man like that either.
