'Toxic masculinity'? Dude, now America's universities are turning men into women
Universities across the fruited plain are trying to convince men to grow lady parts. And that’s a problem, America.
Campus Reform recently reported on efforts to provide “safe spaces” to fight back against what the academic world calls, “toxic masculinity.”

Instead of a country full of manly men, our universities want a nation full of Pajama Boys.
Oregon State University is hosting a “health masculinities conference.” Students will “engage in collective imagining to construct new futures for masculinities, unrestricted by power, privilege, and oppression.”
Brown University has a program titled, “Masculinity 101” – for “students who identify as men,” Campus Reform reports.
Get a load of the course description titled, “Unlearning Toxic Masculinity:”
“Men will often resort to violence to resolve conflict because anger is the only emotion that they have been socialized to express. Unfortunately, the way that young men are conditioned to view sex and their need to be dominant and have power over others also contribute to instances of sexual assault and other forms of interpersonal violence on college campuses.”
In the hit Broadway musical “My Fair Lady,” Professor Henry Higgins laments in a song, “Why can’t a woman be more like a man?” Today, Professor Higgins might be singing a different tune, “Why can’t a man be more like a woman?”
Could you imagine the Greatest Generation flitting about town after a spa and dishing about their inner-most thoughts with life coaches?
In today’s reengineered version of manhood, guys no longer have friends – they have bromances and they settle disputes by hugging it out.
Men’s magazines are now filled with articles like, “Should a Man Show Nipple?” and “What Men Know about Wearing Eyeliner.” A survey by AskMen.com found that 20 percent of men have no problem wearing makeup.
In my book, “Dispatches From Bitter America,” I pondered these developments.
Can you imagine John Wayne using moisturizer and a concealer stick to hide razor nicks? Would today’s version of "The Godfather" accessorize with Dolche Gabana while settling “family” business with group hugs?
A few years ago I conducted an unscientific poll to determine what the average American woman looks for in a man.
The poll results were not all that surprising. Ladies want a man who loves God and loves his family. They also want a man who, in no particular order:
1. Has a job;
2. Drives a pickup truck;
3. Uses the bathroom standing up;
4. Eats meat;
5. And is willing to carry them out of a burning building.
In other words -- they want the kind of man made in God's image -- not the image of some effeminate intellectual stuffed in skinny jeans sipping chai tea with his pinky finger extended

Well at the very least it's rather amusing.

"Men will often resort to violence."
For real men I think in many cases that could be lumped under compassion.....

I have no words.... :facepalm:

Check check check check check. Probably why I'm married to a lady.

Can we get a safe zone void of idiots please? Oh, that's right, it's called a "garage" or "hunting lodge"
-
A safe space devoid of idiots or Panama boys, like out in the woods or away from those scathe mulch beds that someone is so scared of.

Not to burst your bubble but I've personally witnessed idiots in hunting lodges....

Years ago my wife volunteered to cook for 12 of us on a bear hunt in Canada for 11 days. I was seriously impressed with her ability to deal with toxic men LoL By the time that 11 days were over they were all saying yes ma'am and washing dishes for her. That said she also was out helping clean fish and skin bear also. But she's not a thin skinned feminist type either...she's more the old school earn and command respect type.

One day when you're hopelessly mired in some decorative mulch, we'll see how funny you think it is then!!!!!! :grin:
