Swagger is for closet sissies. Combat is for adults who don't let airheads define their manhood.
This nonsense about real men not crying, or having lots of chest hair, is just that. Nonsense. I am genetically predisposed to having almost no chest hair. I'm 29 years old. So again, to be more accurate, it is not the lack of chest hair that makes a man less of a man -- rather it is the lack of metaphorical 'chest hair', if you catch my drift. That is to say, lack of guts.
I would venture to guess that many, many of our nation's finest have bawled like babies when holding the dying remains of a fallen friend in the trenches of WWII. And I do not judge these men for crying one bit. Anyone who risks his life to preserve the quality, and indeed, the existence, of mine, without knowing me, gets one huge benefit of the doubt.
I suspect the vast majority of freepers agree with me. I was not quarreling with the sentiments expressed, but merely urging a little more exactness in semantics.
In short, down with wimpy men. For that matter, down with wimpy women, too! Being female, IMHO, doesn't exonerate you from having courage. But again, I'm preaching to the choir on this board. I'm glad to be among so many level-headed people here on Free Republic.
Natural is fine and dandy. It's the shaved chest that has the wierdness meter going off the scale. ;-)
Not wishing to own a gun is one thing; thinking that all guns are evil is quite another.
An all-too-common extension of that idea is that, since guns are evil, nobody should own one.
No, you're not preaching to the choir! I'm giving blood next Tuesday and I'm scared to death! I'm not a "crier" by nature, but I'm afraid I may loose it when they stick me!
We do our own thing, we don't give a damn' what some miss-priss has to say about it, and any limp-wristed "sensitive" man that gets in our way is gonna get their ass kicked.
Real Men ... stand up and be counted!
Yeah good old "Captain Dan the Newsman!" I will always hold Britt Hume of Fox in high esteem for that comment.
Real men don't have to stand up or be counted!
