Publishers are moving away from 'macho' heroes in non-fiction books for boys and moving towards an 'alternative type of hero' who to those who 'checks their privilege'. It comes following impressive sales of books that empower young women, such as Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls which has sold more than a million copies worldwide. The publishers aim to move away from the 'stereotypical idea of masculinity' and action-men style heroes such as Prince Charming and will instead focus on stories of real-life heroes such as Usain Bolt and James Harrison, a blood donor"

True. Here is a concerning thought:
Given the strong propensity of whacked-out beyond the crazy younger librarians these days, you can well envision how they have (probably for decades) been spending our taxdollars to buy this new crap in both public and school libraries, AND, how they “weed their collections” of what they consider to be “outdated”.
***P.C. Wren, Rafael Sabatini, Walter Scott, etc.***
Read them! Great literature.
Awesome, though, isn’t it?!?
These ball-less men have been around a while. They’re the main reason I can’t watchange many new productions. Turned on ‘American Gothic’ on Prime to see if I’d like it. Never saw so may stupid pussies in one place. There are a few males in the production but no Men.
Hollywood might destroy Hogan’s Heroes with a title like that.
Jack Ringo and John Del Arroz’s science fiction is good, recent material that isn’t infected by SJWs.
They’ve both been banned from conventions by liberal bullies who say they feel threatened by these conservative scifi authors just showing up ... and say that any violence outraged liberals cause if they do show up is the conservatives’ fault.
They should do that. Do a Twilight Zone spoof where the narrator, clearly anchored in the 50's/60's, proposes some preposterous situation in a future America 50 years thence. Then the story plays out and it's some commonplace occurrence in the current culture.
Superversive Press is putting out tons of conservative authors, classic scifi novels and space operas.
The Walking Drum was a good read - it’s been about 30 years, though. Mathurin Kerbouchard - still trying to pronounce that guy’s name.
Superversive Press is putting out tons of conservative and libertarian authors’ scifi, horror, space opera, steampunk.
I could be wrong, but I pronounce it (trying to be phonetic here) ‘Matterin Kerbooshart’ in my head.
No butt doesn’t necessarily mean no guts. Plenty of real cowboys fall into that category.
Black males can be as Alpha as they wanna be.
Yes, I've noticed this as well.
“...how they “weed their collections” of what they consider to be “outdated”...”
Yeah, the Nazis would be proud of them, for sure.
There ya go!!!
Where there is a will, there is a way.
Usain Bolt does not qualify. The Jamaican sprinter paused the interview by NBC when the Star Spangled Banner was playing. He’s not American, but has more respect for our own national anthem than many who were born here.
You too?
That was a great read.
I loved it too!
I was so surprised he had written it!
Wonderful book!
Funny how that limp wristed POS has fallen off the news. He knows something is coming down.
You get it
Good man
