A friend forwarded me University of Texas Journalism Professor Robert Jensen's ode to pathetic wimpiness (which is posted at SFGate.com, for whom I also write), "Men being men is a bad deal, Guys should evolve beyond masculinity."

Guys should evolve beyond masculinity? Let's hope not.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm one of those ladies who actually appreciates the manly virtues, not to mention the incredible damage it does to a society to try and suppress them.

"I guess the best we can hope for is that men like Jensen will phase themselves out by not breeding. And something tells me that's entirely possible..."

Long Live the Manly Virtues!

"Manly virtues" don't come cheap. Don't know many women or men who really want to pay the price.

I don't know how she could stand working with someone like Jensen. He really needs to watch more programs featuring enormous digging machines...and learn how to change a tire, too.
