The Anti-Romeos: Feminism’s Assault on Masculinity

American women should be outraged. Not because of their supposed oppression over the years, but because American women have been starved of one of the greatest values available to them while living life on earth: masculine men.

Before the malicious feminist revolution, women could enjoy not just men but masculine men. Popular actors included the masculine Paul Newman, the gentlemanly Clark Gable, the cool and confident Sean Connery. Women could line up military bases to watch their favorite men in uniform. Up until just before the women's liberation movement, women used to faint after seeing their favorite men in concert. In my lifetime, I've yet to see such a health concern at a concert – unless the raped, dehydrated and mud-covered women of the second and third "Woodstock" count.

For the past thirty years, the dirtiest, most politically incorrect concept to talk about has been masculinity. It has been pushed under the rug, twisted, turned, and manipulated. In our newly feminized nation, few want to talk about it or define it. Let us now define it.

Masculinity, like men, is simple. (I say this affectionately). Masculinity is efficacy. I hasten to add that man's source of efficacy is reason. While strength and athletic ability are not unimportant in defining masculinity, the primary source of efficacy and masculinity is reason.

However, man is not a ghost. Man learns, understands, and imagines, and then his creations must be materialized in the world. True efficacy is reason materialized into concrete existence. And it is this particular area, the construction of those things that man’s mind created (chopping wood, building skyscrapers, flying airplanes, what have you), in which men by nature outperform women, which is the genuine source of female-to-male admiration.

Today, it is popular to look at policemen, soldiers and firemen as the

Well, males are too blame.

They've allowed women to feminize them.

My advice to men is to not to talk to girls about it; just do it – just be masculine. If you talk to them, on a conscious level, many girls will reject masculinity. But when you just do it, her inner woman comes out. Just do it: give them a glimpse of what they’ve been missing this whole time.

Good advice for my sons.

Gloria Steinem tells us we need to turn away from masculinity and towards humanity, as if masculinity is inhumane. She is a liar. Masculinity is not tied to violence. It is tied to strength, and it should be seen as erotica not fear.

Gloria Steinhem be damned.

Ann Coulter did a series of columns on this subject 3 or 4 years ago. Amber is a little late to the party.

"Feminists’ constant portrayal as the female as victim hasn’t empowered women; it has turned them into ultra-fragile, ultra-sensitive, emotionally vulnerable wimps. They are literally afraid of the dark."

This has been my belief for a long time. The more emasculated American males have been made to appear, the more frivolous, superficial and shallow American women have become as well. I mean, in everything from appearance (which has become nothing short of abominably indecent) to spirituality and intellect...women have become a caricature of 'femaleness'. This abstraction and counterfeit image has been in 'currency' for so long that few women alive know or understand the real power and beauty of the authentic version. Unless you are fortunate to have strong, FEMININE, and wise females in your family or unless you have somewhere read about or seen such examples, you cannot comprehend the travesty and absolute insult the current and popular images of women truly are. Another thing you will have noticed in these authentic females is that they are married to and consequently raise ONLY authentic and masculine men.

Growing up in a culturally marginal society, (second generation American) I was fortunate to have in my family such MEN and WOMEN. While the rest of America was turning itself inside out and making a mockery of the most basic elements of gender identity, our people were continuing in their mutually understood roles and laughing our asses off at what the media was doing to the rest of the world.

Think of it this way, women have become Barbie (brainless stick figures with big boobs) and men have become Ken (hairless and lacking gonads).

One thing that sends liberals, moderates, and even some economic conservatives into orbits of rage about Ann Coulter is that she said that one of her ideal men is the late Senator Joseph McCarthy. She described him as "such a bear" of a man. The man that has been falsely popularized as the epitome of evil is her "bear". The Yankee Senator was a tough maverick and a great American.

Good article. Too bad she is one of those superficial Randians. But, good article.

[Monterrosa-24]

This article put together with THE WAR AGAINST BOYS well illustrates the current era's insanity.

Like all 'empowered' minorities, women in this country feel they have been exploited, oppressed and disadvantaged. This mentality had given them (also, like all other 'minorities') a sense that any and everything they want to do is justified in 'retaliation' for their so called 'abuse'. They sense that they have a God given right to challenge anything above and outside themselves. In this, they are destroying the society because their children are raised with the same disregard for what is higher and outside their own wants and desires. ANARCHY!

Of course, the MSM (including film) works this agenda and has been doing so for a long time...insidiously and openly. When is the last time you saw a commercial which did NOT denigrate the place of a male either in the home, relationship or in the workplace? Better yet, when is the last time an advertiser included a male in a family scenario?

"Women could line up military bases to watch their favorite men in uniform. "

...now the girls from Appalachia and the ghetto are in uniform at the bases while "George P." attends law school.

If I hang around my women's groups too much, I start to feel tired. Women over-think stuff so much it's a wonder they ever get anything done. Men are a relief, but of course they don't like to be around women too much for the same reasons! I'm stuck in an in-between world.

Ah-HA!! I see someone left out a certain man who figures quite STRONGLY in Most People's View of Masculinity:

One of my pet peeves is our advertising demeaning the modern male (especially a husband male) as the idiot of the family.

Even children treat him like a slow creature.

I am sick of seeing this influence on our society, giving children permission to treat their fathers as fools and then wondering when they are grown, they have no meaningful relationships with males.

One especially ugly set of ads are put out by Control Your TV or something like that:

Scenario: Dad can't access a channel he wants. Daughter comes in to tell dad it is blocked and only mom can unblock it. Dad calls mom - the all knowing female into the room and asks her to unblock it. She says (in front of the snarly little girl child) "no"..and walks off. Dad makes idiot face.

What kind of message is this? There are many more out there. They disgust me. It is difficult enough in our modern family breakdown to have the media teaching kids
behavior such as this.

No wonder the mexicans and muslims don't respect us and furthermore believe they can take our country away from us.
