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.

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

So, instead of being outstide, defying the elements, steering your CO2 belching, whirling blades of steel death machine, you would rather be inside, cleaning lettuce and changing out the laundry? :)

Damn right. God made men and women for specific jobs for a reason. I try to explain to my son that men and women live in two separate worlds, but we share the same planet. They are both born with specific skills and talents, but they are not interchangable. Feminized men are not attractive to women just as butch women are not attractive to men. Thats just the way it is. By denying this and trying to change God’s natural order of things, they end up sorely dissapointed because nature always wins. Animals don’t try to reassign gender and we are at the top of the food chain in the animal world.

“changing the laundry”. Now keep this quiet, but if you screw up the laundry thing enough times, you will be banned for life. Oh darn.

Here in maine, those ‘evolved’ men are usually refered to as ‘pantie waist’ or ‘girlish’. You will still hear the phrase ‘ light in the loafers’.

Back in the 50's Shelley Berman had a comedy routine that consisted of his side of a phone conversation (much like Bob Newhart's signature schtick).

He made a call to a woman, but a tot answered the phone. Using his "talk-to-an-infant" voice, he tried to get the little thing to get mommy to come to the phone. Tried establishing a rapport with it so it would cooperate, with very little headway. It finally came to

"Tell me, are you a little boy or a little girl?"

"You don't know. Okay. Is mommy there yet?"

"Oh hello, Mabel. I've had an AWFUL time getting your little darling to call you to the phone! And by the way, tell it what sex it is before it comes to an ARBITRARY DECISION!!!"

"Well, what's wrong with men being more feminine?"


Same question to some women...(Just because it's made in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it...)...

I got an ad about guns and beautiful women in bikinis, so I guess I am good.

Actually I got an AARP ad and I'm 33.
