Re: It's the fault of FEMINISTS.
[quote name="I need clarification"][quote name="Zseni"]It's popular and wildly incorrect to assume American suburbs and campuses are sterile and boring. Please see: David Lynch[/quote] You can't say David Lynch represents the suburbs in the same essay where you say John Wayne DOESN'T represent the true American male. [quote name="Zseni"]Youtube[/quote] I checked out this YouTube you mentioned, and saw a lot of teenaged girls dancing and lipsynching to Shakira. What (formerly) repressed urge are they expressing, exactly? What supressed culture which for decades has been hidden in the form of kids dressing like James Dean, kids surfing like Frankie and Annette, kids growing their hair out like the Bee Gees and Kiss, kids wearing mohawks like The Clash, Madonna Wannabes, kids interrupting their endless repetition of the "Smoke On The Water" riff to start practicing "Come As You Are?" You're correct below when you imply nothing has changed. You're incorrect when you say the above is NOT sterile and boring, and you compound your error by mis-applying the modifier "wildly." [quote name="Zseni"]It is equally popular to assume that there is something magically "feminized" about a culture which lionizes the white-collar worker and with it, the abilities to sit still and not kill people all the time. NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT EVERY GOVERNMENT SINCE SUMER WORKS BY EXACTLY THIS METHOD, USING EXACTLY THESE PEOPLE IN EXACTLY THIS MANNER. Never mind that Westerns and Samurai movies and John Wayne are all contraptions, puppet-shows, and cartoons, and that in reality 90% of the human race has done nothing more important than farm and breed. For some reason, it's the fucking FEMINISTS who have despoiled our precious young men - poor lost souls, they can no longer run around beating the shit out of stuff as is their natural wont and divine right. Nobody ever blames errant masculinists who have stupidly defined maleness as being whatever Mommy told you not to do (besides fucking asses.) For untold centuries and in nations across the globe, the primary occupation of men was FARMING, and quite a lot of them went into the highly sedentary industries of religious practice and royal asskissing. "Clerk" was a highly desireable position for hundreds of years, and, moreso than that, "lawyer" and "doctor." "Cowboy", "cop", and "Mongol raider" were occupations with long waiting lists and family preferments, much like getting into Harvard.[/quote] Well, then who is buying The Weaponsmith's toys? I agree it's not the FEMINISTS' fault - I don't think women have earned blame or thanks for anything of value, really. Despite that incontrovertible truth, men ARE more feminine than in the past. Today's man is probably best represented as a cross between Howard K Stern and Lynndie England - not exactly sure what they stand for, but willing to do what they think it takes to be liked, or famous, rather than "right." Hell, Zseni, you're more man than most people on the planet. I just don't think it's a good thing, either for you or the planet. But to your original point - would getting rid of you stop all the wingnuts? I guess it would stop one...[/quote]
