An amazing article published by the highly reputable *cough* UK news source, The Independent, on one of my favorite topics: Men acting like real damned men and not the sissified, cigarette-jean wearing, overly emoting, eye-shadowed, overly privileged jackasses we see around large metropolitan areas today. There are still real men somewhere in the heartland of America but I certainly don't see any of them in the big cities anymore. When you confront one of these pseudo-men on on their utter lack of manly characteristics, they claim it's evolution. Our generation moving away from the 1950s mentality of what it is to be a man. It's great we've grown out of that era and thrown away racism and sexism. But when did we throw away our balls? Read the article, throw away your trendy fashion, and pick up a skill that is useful in life (note: rock band is not a useful skill).
"Someone will have to die, though: the metrosexual. The imminent demise of this benighted species - the term was coined by Mark Simpson in The Independent as long ago as 1994 - has been forecast for some time. Earlier this year, the American columnist Kathleen Parker published a hand-wringing book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter, Why Women Should Care , arguing that feminism has neutered men, depriving us of our protective role in society."
