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.

Now that's funny!

[HighlyOpinionated]

EVOLVE????

Why not just be the men that men were created to be? All the pertinant instructions can be found in the "Manufacturer's Handbook."

Why is that so hard? -- OH yeah, I know. Evolutionists are revolving around the godless hole in the universe of their tiny little minds.

Here's your tiny little fluted-evoluted sign!

And look here! Your Evoluted Shock Wave Therapist is ready for your next session!

someone's got too much time on their hands...

Or too little substance in his hand.

[Cobra64]

I saw him in the airport two weeks ago.

[ExDemSince92]

I guess when you fail at being man, the university system and OP-ED pieces are all you have left.

[TASMANIANRED]

I hope that is photo shopped.

[GOP Poet]

Oh. My. :-)

[Cobra64]

"Kerry, He be da man!"

[peggybac]

There's NOTHING sexier than a confident manly man. No chest waxing, manicured hands, hair salon guys for me - give me a real man. Yum.

[Dark Skies]

And I don't even like spandex!!

Cyclists wear spandex...even the Prez...

Kerry on the other hand is a poseur, not a cyclist.

Everything you need to know about Robert Jensen:

“The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that’s a good thing.”

[LibWhacker]

Me too, lol!

[Constantine XIII]

Cyborgs. That's where it's at.

[Husker24]

I suppose this means I have to stop liking explosions, tornado's and things that propel inanimate objects to high speed.

From Wikipedia:

In his research, Jensen draws on a variety of critical theories. Much of his work has focused on pornography and the radical feminist critique of sexuality. In more recent work, he has addressed questions of race through a critique of white privilege and institutionalized racism.

He drew widespread attention for a series of controversial opinion pieces he published in the Houston Chronicle shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks.

According to Jensen, the United States was "just as guilty" as the hijackers in committing acts of violence. Jensen wrote that the Al Qaeda attack on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon "was no more despicable than the massive acts of terrorism...that the U.S. government has committed during my lifetime."

Letters to the editor and reportedly over 4,000 complaints to Jensen himself denounced his article as insensitive and extremist, coming just three days after the attack.

Recent book chapter published:

“The Relevance of Radical Feminism for Gay Men,” in Christopher Kendall and Wayne Martino, eds., Gendered Outcasts and Sexual Outlaws: Sexual Oppression and Gender Hierarchies in Queer Men’s Lives ( Binghamton, NY: Haworth, 2006), pp. 19-25.

"Men who don't measure up are wimps, sissies, girls."

At least he speaks from experience. I don't get it. What's the alternative? Sex changes? Liberals love to make the agnostic claim we are no different than any animal. Well I'll use that logic here. The male animal doesn't sashay across the jungle, forest and or plains. He is aggressive by nature and in most instances hunts, gathers and fights. We can just picture what this guy looks like..Messy hair black spectacles, tapered pants...A Cappuccino Communist of the worst kind. Or the queer kind.

[Ole Okie]

Unbelievable!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Or what a pussy.

[SmithL]

heh heh heh, Jensen may be from Texas, but in San Francisco, he's preaching to the choir.

[VRWCtaz]

The best thing about being a male is the female.
