Are Men Obsolete?
American Thinker ^ | 7/22/09 | Robin of Berkeley

Posted on 07/26/2009 6:53:27 AM PDT by listenhillary

When I snapped out of my left wing trance last year, I was lost in space. I had no conservative friends and was clueless about web sites and books.

I had heard something vaguely about Talk Radio. So I scanned my AM dial and found Michael Savage. (It took several months, and a chat with a rather bemused new friend, before I even realized there were other hosts as well.)

Being a lifelong liberal, I'd never heard anybody like Savage in my life. He yelled; he called people "vermin." He was unbridled masculinity, not the touchy feeling kind I was used to. And he totally accepted himself: his moods, passion, temper.

But what shocked me the most was his saying that men have become "feminized." I'd never been so offended. "Well, what's wrong with men being more feminine?" I shouted back at my radio. "Is there something wrong with femininity?" Men being way more in touch with their yin and less with their yang sounded good to me.

I hadn't exactly been a big fan of masculinity. Like any good feminist, ranting and raving about men were two of my favorite pastimes. Men frightened me. Testosterone fueled types like Michael Savage scared the bejeezus out of me. I had good reasons, of course, given episodes of harassment and abuse.

Well worth the read. She comes to the right conclusion IMO.

I'll take my yang any day, thank you.

The link (American Thinker) has an Atlantis cruise advertisement for an all Gay cruise. Picture and all.

Allow children to choose their own sex. (By the way, the fad is already in vogue and called "gender neutrality." Parents don't inform their child of his or her or its gender and let the little mutant choose one.)

That's funny right there.

“Liberals: be honest with yourselves. In the end, if the worst case scenario happens (God forbid) and we are attacked, who will you run to? Will you scream out for the Green Czar?

No; all of us, liberals and leftists, conservatives and feminists, we will go where we have always gone from the beginning of time; we will search desperately for the big, strong men to protect us, the ones who have always had the guts, the courage, and yes the cojones, to put their lives and limbs on the line.”

Liberals did this right after 9-11, honoring the firemen and cops who marched into the WTC buildings. It soon passed though. Masculinity is only honored by liberals in the breach.

I’m a single woman, no children, head of household for a multi-generational family with not a man in sight. Our contractor is recovering from a heart attack. I damn near lost a finger yesterday doing necessary carpentry for which I am hopelessly unqualified.

I’m the only person around here who can kill a spider, carry out trash, and investigate creepy sounds in the middle of the night.
And I don’t like it!

The mood I’m in right now, no “feminized” mister is safe within swinging distance of my silver hammer. These self-neutered kitties can KMA.

Robin, Robin, Robin. It’s not hopeless. Move away to flyover country. Still plenty of real men around. You just happened to be in one of those breeding grounds for experimental psychology. Stop reading that claptrap and go fishing.

Real men don't harass or abuse women, lady.

Right. Now get out there and mow that lawn and make sure you wipe your feet before you come back in.

The source of gun-grabbing hysteria. Self-defense is THE most hated of reactions by Pelosi Liberals.
