Our culture had better be careful with its relentless badgering of men
washington examiner ^ | 26 Aug 2020 | Suzanne Venker

Just when you thought cancel culture couldn't get worse, it did. "Sexist," "misogynistic," "insensitive," and "insulting" are just a few of the epithets hurled at NHL analyst Mike Milbury for — hold on to your hat — admitting that women are distracting to men. Not only is Milbury correct in his observation, his off-the-cuff remark is a compliment to women, not an insult. The presence of a woman is a powerful thing, as those of us who don't have an ax to grind understand and appreciate.

In case you missed it, a recent conversation transpired between Milbury and fellow analyst Brian Boucher about the NHL's playoff bubble — no fans in seats, no one but your teammates and team staff in the arena or the hotel. "If you think about it, it's a terrific environment with regard to — if you enjoy playing and enjoy being with your teammates for long periods of time, it's a perfect place," said Boucher.

To which Milbury responded, "Not even any woman here to disrupt your concentration."

For this transgression, Milbury has since stepped down — and, sadly, apologized. It is a wholly unacceptable response to cater to the mob for saying something factual. Those who do are part of the problem.

When will men take back their right to masculinity?
These little b*tchy brats in the streets think they can even boss police officers around.
The schools destroyed the boys and emboldened the girls. So sick of this Leftist Commie Marxist Culture taking us over.

How can this happen?
Men have not been allowed to gather without the ‘guidance’ of women since all the mens club were closed in the 1970’s because of some sort of inferiority complex women developed.
Obviously this team is made up of sexist cavemen since there are no women players, managers, owners or team doctors.
If these ‘loser’ excess men do not get with the program the women who are really in charge will form their own league and leave the little boys behind.
You have been warned...

She is right . And although she doesn’t say it, it explains a lot of why men have so little interest in committing to a relationship meant to be complementary but which has devolved into symmetry.

Really do Wish the men would wake the heck up and reclaim their righteous manhood. We NEED THEM.

I used to think a lot of the man’s man idea wilted because of the infantile fantasy to be dominated instead of honored and responsible.

Ever more disturbing and more evidence is here in the latest so-called fashion of dressing men in little girl clothes.

If an artist is good at art, why would anyone complain about being called a sexist?
