All the emphasis on the homosexual agenda in the media has ruined friendships between straight males.

Two straight guys now fear friendships with other straight males lest they be branded gay and other people see them and draw the wrong conclusions.

First time I’ve heard a woman named “Wade”. I’ll have to read it again to let it sink in and percolate, but then I dare not say more.

Sorry, but this is the outcome of the anti-male feminist outlook and is what you could be called the normal result. We get what we want eventually, much to our dismay at times.

There is truth to the article. Most people do need indepth and meaningful conversations if they want a sense of belonging. However, thanks to homosexuality being a huge factor, male relationships have been largely curtailed.

The fact that many of us have these indepth,and meaningful conversations on Freerepublic as opposed to having them over a beer is proof of this.

She thinks masculine social interaction is the problem, femininity the corrective

Yup. That's 2014 for you.

Where do adult men go to enjoy the company of men? Men’s club, work/office,hunt club, gun range, garage/racetrack, cigar bar, mens Bible study. In each case one will find women at each venue -shoot we even let female reporters in the men’s lockeroom now.

At my age, I'm pretty much settled as to who I am, what I am and why I am ... and I question the motive of anyone that writes I might not be what I think I am.


Ever the conspiricy theortist, what damage can be done to a collective consciousness if that consciousness is not settled ?


If recent political activity is any indication, we're no longer democrat or republican ... not even American ... and we don't really care very much about that lack of identification.


So yeah ... go ahead and allow your manhood to be questioned ... and kiss it all goodbye.

Here ... have a sip of some (more) kool aid first

My idea of male friendship crisis is that you can not find a male barber shop ala Gran Torino any more.

In my area, all female "barbers" who don't know sh&t about cutting hair, guns, sports or pitching crap back and forth.

Captain Ned: Is this how men act on a man's ship? Where is your manliness? Fighting on deck is a serious breach on my articles of strict discipline! I'm afraid the guilty party is in for a very severe punishment!

Sailor #1: Captain.. I did indeed take Mr. Spunk's spot. I'm ready to accept my punishment..

First Mate Spunk: Captain! I threw the first blow. If anyone is to be punished, let it be me. I ask only that whatever you do, please don't put me in a tight-fitting Lassie costume and make me eat from a monogrammed dog dish.

Sailor #2: [ entering ] Captain, I encouraged this fight - punish me! Make me wear nipple-pinching clothespins, sir!

Sailor #3: [ entering ] Me, Captain! Punish me!

Captain Ned: Stop! I've heard enough! Your manly admission of guilt is most manful. However, as your Captain, it is I who must bear the full masculine responsibility! And therefore, I will be punished. Spunk! Take me alone! I want a boiling oil rub..

[ Spunk drags Captain below decks for his punishment ]

First Mate Spunk: [ peering through telescope ] Land ahoy! Land ahoy! Oh, my God, I don't know.. oh, it might be land, maybe it's another boat.. Oh, daft, it might me a cloud! No, I can't tell, this damn thing is torturing me. Oh, maybe it's a cloud, I'm not sure, oh dear!

Captain Ned: [ walking up ] Mr. Spunk! Have you spied land?

First Mate Spunk: I'm not sure! Somebody else get up here and look! If I say it's land, and we make for it and it's not, I'll get yelled for it!

Captain Ned: Alright! [ peers through telescope ]

Miles Cowperthwaite V/O: "What Mr. Spunk had sighted was not land at all, but a small, open boat. Which, upon closer inspection, was found to contain two remarkable passengers."

[ two women climb onboard The Raging Queen ]

Captain Ned: [ greeting them ] I am Captain Ned, of The Raging Queen! Tell me.. are there any males with you?

Madeline Warrington: No. Just my sister and I.

Ruth Warrington: Yes. My name is Ruth Warrington. This is my sister Madeline. We were crossing the West Indies, when pirates seized our ship. They took our entire crew prisoners.

Captain Ned: [ thinking ] Hmm.. Uh.. can you tell me, were these pirates manly and verile?

Madeline Warrington: They were contemptible animals, who subjected our ship's crew to the most unspeakable torture!

First Mate Spunk: Do you suppose these pirates might still be anywhere in the area.

Ruth Warrington: Yes. I'm afraid they may yet be very close..

Captain Ned: I see. [ runs to address his crew ] Men! There are pirates in these waters! Pirates who inflict hideous punishment to those who fall into their hands! [ crew oohs ] Now, we can turn tail and run. Or, we can take the many course, that which our manhood demands! Find these despots of discipline, and comfort them! What is your answer!!

Crew: Find the pirates!!

Captain Ned: So it will be done! Stand by to incur the waters!

[ crew wave out to see, in search of the pirates ]

Being a traditional man is a hate crime today. Telling a dirty joje will get you fired and prosecuted. Men are reacting to the society the feminists and pajama boys created.

The author is a typical liberal feminist psychopath defending feminism: it’s completely screwed up boys by not letting them be men, so the solution is to track down men and destroy them so there are no contrary examples to the psychological insanity it is forcing on boys that shows that it is wrong.

Bottom line: if feminists don’t understand something as fitting into the way females do things, then it’s not only wrong - it doesn’t even exist.

Feminists are insane. They are literally psychopaths. They want their way to be the only way, and they want anyone who disagrees with them to be utterly destroyed - not only physically, but psychologically, emotionally, financially, socially and every other possible way.

Remember the Clones Wars in the Star Wars series? THESE are the REAL clone wars. These aren’t “feminists.” These are HILLARY CLONES. And as such, they are totally, murderously insane psychopaths pretending to be “women.”

But women are the one thing they are not, and will never be. If anything, they are anti-women - “anti” meaning the same thing as “anti-Christ.”

In short, they are evil, and bring only destruction.

Women form circles around living room tables and discuss their feelings; men crowd around the grill, eyes locked on the meat, to discuss grilling techniques.

And then there's this, who'd rather talk about the wonders of statist health insurance.

We need to make boys more masculine, not less.

Friendships are built around mutual respect, not need.

Feminists destroying masculinity.

I think some family men fall into this trap. They spend so much time being the family guy. They are so wrapped up in raising their children and being dressed and brow-beaten by their wives, they lose their own identity and have no time for male friends. To avoid this testosterone lowering entrapment, I recommend the following:

1. Get a motorcycle, join a motorcycle riding group. The MC world is male dominated. Women are allowed to attend, but they usually have to take a back seat — where they should be in the first place. LOL. Just kidding ladies.

2. Get a gun/guns, going to a shooting range with friends from work or get involved in shooting competitions. This is largely a male activity, although women have a presence.
All around, this is a male dominated activity. Guys naturally like this activity and can often impress the few women that attend.

3. Car clubs — requires fixing and/or detailing cars. Mechanical skills are largely a masculine domain. Guys who like cars often talk about cars and freely talk about their women in their lives. They also do other manly sort of things.

There are many other things men can do in male groups: go fishing, go hunting, bowling, shooting pool, hiking, form a fight club (not for the feint of heart).

Anyhow, I find that when the kids are grown and the marriage has moved to a stage of advanced maturity (assuming that your marriage lasts that long), it is very easy to do these manly things. I have a lot more time for friends now, usually male friends. Really, I see this article as being most applicable to men who get married and try to do the right thing (raise their kids and have a good marriage) but who forget that they need to make time for themselves outside their marital/parent roles. I know there are many man-children out there who never grow up and don’t commit to marriage and family. But, after reading this feminist diatribe, you can better understand why some are reluctant to do so.

ade says American men—specifically white heterosexuals—lack the intimate bonds necessary to lead fulfilling lives. “The friendships they have, if they’re with other men, provide less emotional support and involve lower levels of self-disclosure and trust than other types of friendships,” Wade writes.

Pure homo drivel.
