For some reason I’m thinking about the little brother in the Christmas story and his snow suit.

Some, not all of the reason may be because many women are involved in local and national politics now. They help to promote policy and write laws. The average woman is more likely to avoid risk vs the average man.

In short: Nanny State prevails for now.
Lots of men fit into this category too. Many for the power it gives them over the actions of other people.

It’s the feminization — or “chickification” as Rush Limbaugh calls it — of everything. We’ve become a nation of children, greedy, lazy, short-attention-span, tantrum-inclined children, and our rulers are bossy junior high girls. Even the men are girls. And socialism is especially attractive to females, doubly so for those who didn’t respect and adore their fathers.

The vitimization routine is what we’re seeing at play here.

I think the bubble wrapped culture is insane. If TSHTF, they’ll never survive.
I like this young man’s attitude:

5-year-old boy caught driving on Utah highway was heading to California for a Lamborghini.

We’ve also relinquished our belief in God or a higher power, generally speaking. No one is allowed to say that they trust in God without being ridiculed by their peers and/or society.

That’s why we have bicycle helmets and they want to ban football. Now their expanding to soccer because of all the “headers” cause concussions as well.

Baloney. Much of the world went to some type of lockdown and/or social distancing.

We name our winter storms now. I expect the different flu strains/communicable disease strains to start getting names. This will get around having to call every single one of them after the place in asia where they almost invariably originate. Which is obviously vital the welfare of humanity.

He needs a better example than Lawn Darts. Lawn Darts is a “What were they thinking?” kind of game.

Yes, ‘it’s safer at home’ has replaced ‘remember the Alamo’

We are becoming increasingly secular and nihilistic, and we kill 4000 babies a day. But we fear death more.

The problem is rampant effeminacy and loss of respect for the important place legitimate masculinity has in public and private life.

My comment from another posted article yesterday seems appropós, so I may as well just copy and paste.
_________

“where have all the MEN gone?

And where have all the warriors in the military gone?”

Both women, and men alike, can quickly fall into a terrible pattern of effeminate thought patterns and commensurate conduct.

Masculinity and true femininity can easily coexist, and have for most of human history.

By contrast, rampant effeminacy, which typically comprehends moral groundlessness, a surprisingly stubborn soft-mindednedness, and many other bad traits, is capable of crowding out masculinity. Large amounts of societal decay can ensue, and quickly. Particularly if not enough people are bothering to notice, pay attention, or timely object.

Liberals are generally afraid of everything. It’s a bizarre trait.
