| 1. Men still rule the world big time (in a very unsuccesful manner, for that manner - as it can very well be observed); so mind you, I see no male disadvantage here and no feminization of society whatsoever.
Men are in power, but in order to remain there, because of universal suffrage, they have to apologize for manliness. Though there will indeed always be a set of balls and a schlong in the high seat in the Oval Office, that does not whatsoever imply that manly values rule civilization at all anymore. In order to stay in power, men have to sell out to the whims and fancy of woman. 2. Many boys (socialized by sociopathic parents, most probably fathers obssessed with testosterone) continue to think it is OK to bully, hit, shove, ridicule...or even shoot - somebody/something that appears weak(er).
That is by no means a Masculine characteristic, so that is rubbish. Women are equally, probably, more aggressive and psycho to each other, especially when they percieve weakness. 3. Society continues to be ruled by mass hysteria when it comes to male-oriented sporting events. I do not know of anything similar targeting women.
Clearly youve never been down the highway and seen a billboard. Or heard of Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Beyonce whatever her last name is, etc etc.
And what about the female oriented mass-hysteria that accompanies vomit like boy bands and Sex and the City? There is plenty of that as well. 3. Prisons are still filled with males (the majority of criminals, rapists and thieves (including Enron-type) continue to be males). I know...old arguments...but very telling.
What the hell does this prove that relates to the feminization of society? Are you saying manhood is not in danger because men are still reliably committing crimes? 4. The majority of resources and property (which are very good for keeping others in check) continue to be had by men.
That is misleading and stupid; a majority of property and resources are probably controlled by about 7% of the population. I know as a Man I have zero stake in this majority of property. Do you as a man share in this bounty? Does anyone you know? I have never met, and probably never will meet, anyone who monopolizes a significant amount of resources and property. The regular guys that make up 9 men in 10 in the country have no manly privileged claim to be the sole property holder under really any circumstances. 5. Any society on the face of this Earth can benefit from less AGRESSIVITY(traditionally associated with the male...not that the female would be incapable of displaying that)
Why didnt you just say "aggression?" What the hell is Agressivity?
And this is more Hollywood hogwash. Women are just as aggressive, they are just not physicall confrontational. They are not as likely as a man to charge up to you in a bar and hit you with something, but they are just as likely to attack without provocation. Just in their own way, which is usually some kind of demeaning little backbiting manipulation, because that is their power. Men have fists and use them. Women would be crushed so they use subtler power. That says nothing of their tendency for aggression. and from more COOPERATION AND EMPATHY (traditionally associated with the female...not that a male would be incapable of that either).
Cooperation is associated with the female? Do you think the Spartan and Roman armies considered their discipline and cooperation girly? Do you think the British Empire took its fighting formation cues from women? Think the Marine Corps' attitude about the Corps is a woman's stance? What about when tribal men go out on a hunt and work together? Womanliness?
Youre idea of men and women is too influenced by a watered down and desecrated Hollywood seal of approval.
"Die! Fall upon your sword. Fall upon your knee.
Die like your Son, nailed to his Tree.
Die by my hand. Die in my heart,
plucked from the Ice;
forever cold." |
