Thanks for your input.

Here’s the deal.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote “an effeminate man is one who withdraws from good on account of sorrow caused by lack of pleasure, yielding as it were to a weak motion.” More at https://www.newadvent.org/summa/3138.htm.

As such, a big part of eschewing the feminization promoted by the left and Hollywood and the media, is self-control. The left has none of that…pronouns, puberty blockers, rioting…everything goes for them. They are feminized, every one of them.

A big part of masculinity, therefore, is tempering the emotions. “Don’t act like a girl” men used to say in order to correct fem behavior. “Act like a man.”

With regard to commercials, and walking down the street, or going to the beach or pool, the man must have custody of his eyes. He must have control of his emotions and a commitment to reason.

In this proper, moral, truly conservative context, it is the effeminate male who’ll ogle at Ms Sweeney’s commercials. Even if he voted for Trump and comments on FR, this fembot has an unwillingness to put aside his pleasure in order to pursue what is arduous.

Now, I totally get the impulse to celebrate these commercials. Any commercial that rejects the woke idiocracy of transsexuals on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition is an enemy of my enemy. Fair enough.

But I didn’t set the rules: “everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Real Men will retain custody of their eyes at the risk of being unpopular.

Hence, don’t look. Society is going to do what society does. We, however, do t have to.

“Here’s the deal.”

Nope. I am not Catholic and Thomas Aqiinas is no authority for me.

“In this proper, moral, truly conservative context, it is the effeminate male who’ll ogle at Ms Sweeney’s commercials.”

Effeminate males don’t ogle at females and they don’t do it by having “custody” (you must think that sounds intellectual) of their eyes. They ogle other men.

“Even if he voted for Trump and comments on FR, this fembot has an unwillingness to put aside his pleasure in order to pursue what is arduous.”

fembot?? Now I know you are not stupid enough to say that to someone’s face. You are a coward.

pursue what is arduous???

You don’t what the hell you are talking about.

You have written a load of crap and too self-righteous to recognize it.

By the way. Do you ever listen to music? Do you enjoy hearing a women sing? According to you, if you do, you are a weak effeminate man on the road to burning in hell.
