The Pussification of the American Male
Is it just me or have we become a nation of pussies? And where was I
when this cosmic shift took place? Let me explain "cosmic shift" through example. When I was a baby we did not have a car seat, no one did. When I got older I would sit in the front seat without a seat belt, everyone did. I did not own or wear a bicycle helmet as a kid - I still don't. In any event, somewhere along the line a cosmic shift took place where only lunatics would put a baby in a car without a car seat or drive without seat belts. The same sort of cosmic shift is nearly completed with bicycle helmets. It's a strange sort of phenomenon that sometimes makes sense but at other times it doesn't. Another cosmic shift has taken place in America but this one is repugnant in all ways. I'm talking about the pussification of American men. The seat belts and the bike helmets are all part of this and the cosmic shift really accelerated after 9-11. Fear began to trump sex on Madison Avenue. The metrosexual has become the symbol of American masculinity. Hugh Grant has replaced Cary Grant as a Hollywood icon of masculinity. I was at a party recently and some hag was blathering on about how hot David Schwimmer is. He's the guy that was on Friends always blubbering on about his feelings or something. Can you imagine this guy playing along side of John Wayne in the Sands of Iwo Jima? I was really struck by this pussification at my son's t-ball game last summer. It was warm and sunny but nothing unusual. A mother came out of the stands and asked me, the coach, if I had sun screen and water for the kids. I just sort of looked at her in a mystified state. I said we have hats and a bubbler behind the back stop. T-ball is not really known for making kids sweat much at all and I figured sun tan lotion is for the beach. I'm not opposed to a kid running over to the bubbler for a drink. She then proceeded to spray sun screen on all 15 kids and practically forced them to gulp some bottled water. Parents in the stands literally cheered her for her safety first approach. I just sort of shrugged it off but later I heard one boy comment to Mrs. Worrywart's kid, "Why was your mom spraying us with that stuff. You're mom's stupid." A few other kids chimed in as well and Mrs. Worrywart's son just sort of sat there in a state of slumped resignation. It pretty much ended at that but I was just a little inspired to know that masculinity is still inherent in boys. Its society and people like Mrs. Worrywart that beat it out of them. I have been blessed with three sons and counting. It's my mission in life to see that they don't become metrosexuals. My wife can harp on them about washing their hands and not farting at the dinner table but I'm in charge of what they do out of the house. They're boy's boys complete with dirty faces and skinned knees. They jump, wrestle and horse play at every opportunity. They are not and will not be pussies. Of course this will be a challenge in this day and age of hand wringing and anti-anxiety medications. I was called into school for one of my kids this year. A kid cut in front of him in line and he corrected the punk. I didn't see the big deal but the principle did so we took our licks. I still instructed him to stand up for himself, not be punked by a punk and to choose his battles wisely. At this juncture many of you are proving my point with your thoughts. Those of you that think I'm an awful father for not telling my son to ignore the bully, to tell the teacher or run away have bought into the pussification of American men lock, stock and barrel. The 4th of July weekend last year, some punks were blowing of fireworks in the park behind my house. I had no problem with this until they started launching **** into my backyard. I marched over there and gave them two choices. I guess that makes me pro-choice. They had the choice to launch their **** at my house or away from my house. The consequences of course would be different for each choice. They chose to launch away from my house- the correct choice. My neighbors chastised me for being so rash and challenging the punks. "What if they would have had a gun?" My response was that we would have had a gun fight. You see I'd rather do something and take the chance than to have my sons see me cower behind the curtains like half a fag. There was a time in this country when most men would have acted just like I did. When I was kid the adult men were all WWII vets and those guys put up with no ****. Consequently we had little crime in our neighborhood. A lot of fist fights but little crime. In that exact same neighborhood we now have the opposite. No fist fights but a **** load of bull**** crime and good men that do nothing. They have all the excuses down about having kids, fearing lawsuits and guns but all this is simply caving into cowardice. Maybe I'm an anomaly but I was taught that it's my job as the man of the house to put his balls on the line from time to time. This means protecting my home and neighborhood. I don't have problem with this and it comes quite natural but I learned this throughout a childhood and adolescent of rough play and risk taking. I'm not talking about foolishness here. I'm talking about bravery, toughness and balls. These used to be cherished traits among men and women admired these qualities in men as well. Nowadays we are all confused about these things. Being a hard dude doesn't mean you are misogynistic piece of **** that we see glorified in rap videos. A real man has a big heart that he reserves for his family and friends. For the assholes in the world he has his balls, big ones. We have a lot of social problems in our country these days and everyone has their pet theory that explains the reasons for the proliferation of these problems. Conservatives blame big government and welfare. Liberals think we don't have enough big government and welfare. It's the Koch brother's fault! Blame it on the Clintons! Bull****. I blame it on men who have ceased to be men. Behind ever battered woman, every knocked up teenage girl and every punk firing off guns indiscriminately are millions of men that won't do their jobs as fathers or simply as stand up guys that won't abide by bull****. Men have become pussified in America but I won't have any part of it. How about you? --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

Everybody says now, "Don't get involved." Hell! I was involved since 13. I was a Boy Scout when it was looked on as 'not cool'. I volunteered for military service when everyone else was protesting the war in Viet Nam. And I did NOT do it because I was 'gung ho', or wanted to be in firefights. I did NOT want to be in firefights. I didn't want to go to war. But serving in the military was part of us. It was something you did as a rite of passage. We could use a little more of that type of life. Lloyd |

We had LOTs of fistfights (which often the PhysEd coach refereed, and nobody went on detention, they just got a little beat up!), and almost NO violent crimes -- not just among the teens, but in the whole community. Do tell, I remember a couple where both were storming out of the building heading for the far side of the parking lot to get "off campus". And I figure the ex-high school wrestlers were on their own when they went at it, waiting for the Base Commissary to open. Now, Mr Alvarez didn't take kindly to it, and they didn't work that day. But that was all. Everybody says now, "Don't get involved." Hell! I was involved since 13. I was a Boy Scout when it was looked on as 'not cool'.

I did NOT want to be in firefights. I didn't want to go to war. But serving in the military was part of us. I have often wished I could be a "vet". I'm not so sure about being a "combat vet" ... but I suppose that would be an interesting question for another time: knowing then what you know now, and given an honorable alternative - how many combat vets would rather just be "a vet"? Or a "[conflict name] era vet."? [My brother was kind of content to be a "Grenada Invasion Era" Veteran.

Of course some need the whack upside the head and the lessons of how to lead, follow and cooperate much more than others, and some will never rise above cannon fodder. I think that is its most useful societal function unless the Horde is coming. In college the recent veterans stood out as substantially more focused and self-disciplined than the rest of us. jsw |

How long you've been hanging around one USENET group is one thing.
Much activity in many different groups is another. Beating your chest and confronting people might work for you in real life, but not on the Internet. -- Bill BILL_NOSPAM whoknows.net wrote: Path: eternal-september.org!news.eternal-september.org!feeder.eternal-september.org!usenet.blueworldhosting.com!feeder01 .blueworldhosting.com!peer01.iad.highwinds-media.com!news.highwinds-media.com!feed-me.highwinds-media.com!spln!extra.newsguy.com!newsp.newsguy.com !news6 From: Bill BILL_NOSPAM whoknows.net Newsgroups: rec.woodworking Subject: The Pussification of the American Male Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2014 16:44:01 -0400 Organization: NewsGuy - Unlimited Usenet $23.95 Lines: 6 Message-ID: lphle002b1s news6.newsguy.com References: ll8pjh$13e9$1 adenine.netfront.net XnsA330CF286556lloydspmindspringcom 216.168.3.70 cuekn9peelb7nlohk9ec7d4elnbo49scvn 4ax.com XnsA3328A9606449lloydspmindspringcom 216.168.3.70 cv3mn9t9rbkb6colf2uo9h5rpnu6536qrn 4ax.com llg4ln$ssv$1 dont-email.me lpd6i0$blk$1 dont-email.me lpejd9$o8f$1 speranza.aioe.org lpetg2$hvr$1 dont-email.me 1rHuv.307703$G37.200010 fx07.iad lpfpne$tms$1 dont-email.me t76dnUG3nqWQcibOnZ2dnUVZ5sKdnZ2d giganews.com lpgrbp$m7m$2 dont-email.me NNTP-Posting-Host: p79cc92c3d65c0dabf5358a4460ab64fcbab0d9a5799e5254. newsdawg.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17.1 In-Reply-To: lpgrbp$m7m$2 dont-email.me X-Received-Bytes: 1458 X-Received-Body-CRC: 3606326753 Xref: news.eternal-september.org rec.woodworking:162928 John Doe wrote: There are he-man group protectors in every very active group.

Might I point out that the people that you are pointing out as trolls have been here an eternity compared to you, after popping up on the radar. They are not trolls but they might be arguing with one. This is a group that a majority of the participants have been around for 5 plus years. Probably the newest one here has been here for 2 years. None of them have been considered a troll. Trolls don't last long. Leon, don't bark back at the dog. Ignore him.
