My first post and I'll apologize before hand for it being a vanity. But I've been running this about in my mind for a day or so and thought it worthy of your thoughts and comments please.

Does anyone else know some classoc literature about -

Manhood.

Gilette makes war on the people, ignores the cowardly narcissist rapists are effeminates like Bill Clinton or Obama or Hogg who cannot stand , as all cowardly iNCEls to be rejected by women who know what real attractive men are

That’s just a man. The definition of a gentleman
is someone who blows his nose into a rag and
carries it around with him all day.

Excellent poem. I hadn’t read it in decades. Thanks for posting it.

My Way - Sinatra

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all, all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no, no, not me
I did it my way

For what is man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

I learned the poem "If" in (I believe) the 7th grade. However upon reading it just now, that's not exactly as I remember it. (But it's been a few a lot of years.

The young males of our country are very lucky

For the first time in a generation we have a President who a father can point to and tell his son “that’s a man to emulate”.

Trump is courageous, incorruptible, ferociously hard working and will fight to end for what is right. He’s a virile and prime Alpha Male. A true leader.

I would like to say one thing about that horrid ad: In it, they have a line of men who are using a grill to barbeque. I guess we are supposed to think that this is "toxic"?

Well, during the late spring and summer, my wonderful hubby will get the Weber grill going. We are neanderthals who are still using a charcoal grill. About once a week, we will grill something; steaks, ribs, burgers, even a salmon filet (we live in the PNW). I enjoy this because it kind of gives me the day off from cooking (although I will do a vegetable dish); and, I like the flavor that grilling gives meat (please don't mention cancer, I like my grilled meat).

Anyway, I don't consider men grilling to be toxic at all. Who are these idiots?

Apparently a man is a woman with a beard.

Wow... the fad for obsessing over the Gillette ad is going viral. Let’s go put on black ski masks, yell at cops, and break Starbucks windows.

Here was a direct rebuttal to the Gillette “ad.”

What is a man? Guys who’ve been using your product for over a hundred years and will now quit using them.
