I usually ping you, if I think it warrants posting. I'm careful about what I post.

Good post, something that needs urgent attention. And that, coming from a female!! It's truly astounding how many ways these feminists activists communists have infiltrated our culture, and on so many levels.

The more we get these folks into government office, the more we will see of this kind of leftists agenda propaganda.

Men need someone standing up for them in this world!

Thanks :)

I'm trying to get a feel for what you folks would find interesting. I'm doing OK so far, based on the feedback I receive.

(By the way … if I want to get in touch with my feminine side … I’ll grab my wife.)

and this is the best line in the whole essay.

This a great column by Doug Giles. He hits on one of the major issues of our time. Namely the "feminization of men in our culture.
You have MSM, psychologists and the feminist lobby telling us how we should act. How we need to get in touch with our feelings, cry in public, talk more and be less aggressive. In other words, they are saying we need to be more like women to be okay.
Sorry. I reject that. Men and women are different. We don't need women telling us how to be men.

It's time to resume being proud of our manhood.

What a great article. So many men I know, are babies. They have been feminized to be worse than women when it comes to whining, complaining and playing the "whoa is me" game. I think my dad was the last "real man" that I knew. I'd love to not have to be the strong one in a relationship...to be taken care of. Society needs to start letting boys be boys and men be men...and men need to stand up and take that control back.
