''I think you have to say it is a cry of desperation," says Robin Lakoff, a professor of linguistics at Berkeley. ''Here is guy who has seen his male privilege vanish as society became more equal. He wants to turn the clock back."

Facing down the bad guys is hardly what I would categorize as "male privilege" but then an expert on "framing" such as Lakoff would know all about deliberate mischaracterization in order to cling to an outmoded feminist paradigm.

Howard Hawks hated the idea in High Noon of the lawman going around asking for help so he made in response to it Rio Bravo...one the greatest westerns. In it John Wayne never asked for help although he did get it in limited ways from the other characters.

I find all the bitching about anti-male bias to be unmanly.

He cites the Berkeley linguist Lakoff, for example, for her work documenting how women frame requests in an apologetic, super-polite way.

Harvey Mansfield, conservative political theorist and academic provocateur, argues that women--and society--need to come to terms with 'manliness' ___ WHO IS NOT JUST a man, but a manly man?M/i>

Here's a good set of guidelines.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Mansfield nominates, among others, the marshal played by Gary Cooper in ''High Noon." When the town's sniveling semi-men slink away from the task, Cooper boldly goes out to fight the thugs arriving in his town. As for the second question-well it just shows how wanly gender neutral our society has become: Manly men scare us.

"Don't shove me Harv. I'm tired of being shoved".

"You're a good-looking boy: you've big, broad shoulders. But he's a man. And it takes more than big, broad shoulders to make a man".

"Don't try to be a hero! You don't have to be a hero, not for me"!

"Stay at the hotel until it's over".

"No, I won't be here when it's over. You're asking me to wait an hour to find out if I'm going to be a wife or a widow. I say it's too long to wait! I won't do it"!

"Amy"!

"I mean it! If you won't go with me now, I'll be on that train when it leaves here".

"manly men scare us"
