Take it like a Man

I have been thinking a lot about men in our society lately. Maybe it was because while in an interview for another lab rat recently, a  male applicant randomly said, "I don't have a problem working with women"...uhmmm...that's not a big red flag.

So what's the deal with men? Back in the day we adored a Man's Man. Appreciated his masculinity, now we want "sensitive males" WHAT??? I can assure you that was never on my list of top 5 attributes.

Recently Scott was watching the old MY TV channel that shows  1970's nasty shows, and MASH came on. "I hate MASH I told him, all Alan Alda does is cry. Why can't he take war like a man? Such a stinking coward" Sure enough, half way through the first segment....wahwahwah!

I  blame MASH partially for the neuterification of our current crop of males. Among other things, such as the feminist movement of the 1970's, the welfare program, society's acceptance of single mothers, and not allowing boys to play with guns.

You see, after Alan Alda's portrayal, women embraced the sensitive male as the epitome of a desirable male. Never wondering if they paired with him who would hunt for their meals during the great economic melt down.

Then there is that stupid feminist movement of the 1970's. HELLO!! women are not the same as men, we are not designed the same as men, and while we should be paid the same as men for the same job, we are definitely wired differently. With the feminist movement we managed to convince women that men were really not necessary. The welfare program? With Uncle Sam footing the bill, there really isn't a need for the man's paycheck. Then telling women that is OK to keep babies in a single home? making it totally acceptable makes women value men even less. Then we tell little boys that guns are not to be played with, are dangerous, and we even get mad at them for playing "violent" games at school, this was the final nail in the coffin for masculine men.

Now we have punk boys running around without any role models. They have no idea what being a man really is about, they don't know how to work, they don't know how to open a door, and they sure don't know how to step up.

I know women that have so completely neutered their husbands that the men are unsure when and if they can go to the bathroom. I swear these men are so timid they flinch. Then the women complain, "I just want him to man up." "Why doesn't he take some initiative". Seriously??? Give him back his testicles!!
