Men being Men is a Bad Deal. Guys should Evolve Beyond Masculinity. By Robert Jensen

Sunday, October 8, 2006

It's hard to be a man; hard to live up to the demands that come with the dominant conception of masculinity, of the tough guy.

I'm going to go drive my truck and eat cheeseburgers, or is that just "perpetuating the stereotype"?

Driving a truck and eating cheeseburgers sounds pretty darn good to me.

"What a pathetic wimp..."

I'm going to track him down and whip his butt.

What right does a homosexual activist have to tell men how to act?

My wife could probably kick that guy's arse.

That reminds me of a line from the old "Rosanne" Show. Dan speaking to a bullies father :I'll give my wife a doughnut to kick your butt.

Well somehow I don't think she'd be Mrs Ivan if I wasn't Mr. Ivan ;)

This would be sick, if it weren't so pathetic. This guy teaches young adults. And basically is saying that men who aren't wusses are not human beings.

How do you guys stand this kind of thinking?

My husband is a real man, and he doesn't dominate me, nor beat me, nor anyone else. His competitiveness is strictly amateur sports, and it's always good natured. It's how real men bond. Oh, and he's sweet to me.

And all this time I thought "being a man" meant sucking it up and doing the right thing.

All this author does is find human traits he disagrees with, types them as "masculine" then urge men to abandon them.

What a bunch of hooey. I hate agressive, boorish and immature dickweeds as much as the next guy, but (1) this is NOT masculinity, and (2) a society that ridicules true masculinity is doomed.

And women should evolve beyond a need for hundreds of pairs of shoes?
