Where Kim Du Toit leads the country follows
The Pussification Of The Western Male. Kim du Toit
We have become a nation of women.
...
Now, men’s fashion includes not a man dressed in a three-piece suit, but a tight sweater worn by a man with breasts.
...Yes, the men are, by and large, slobs. Big ####### deal. Last time I looked, that’s normal. Men are slobs, and that only changes when women try to civilize them by marriage. That’s the natural order of things.
....
Out there, there is a huge number of men who are sick of it. We’re sick of being made figures of fun and ridicule; we’re sick of having girly-men like journalists, advertising agency execs and movie stars decide on “what is a man”; we’re sick of women treating us like children, and we’re really ####### sick of girly-men politicians who pander to women by passing an ever-increasing raft of Nanny laws and regulations (the legal equivalent of public-school Ritalin), which prevent us from hunting, racing our cars and motorcycles, smoking, flirting with women at the office, getting into fistfights over women, shooting criminals and doing all the fine things which being a man entails.
...
I want our culture to become more male—and not the satirical kind of male, like The Man Show, or the cartoonish figures of Stallone, Van Damme or Schwartzenegger. We want more John Waynes, Robert Mitchums, Bruce Willises, and Clint Eastwoods. Never mind that it’s simplistic— we like simple, we are simple, we are men—our lives are uncomplicated, and we like it that way
Telegraph | News | Beers and cheers as US welcomes back unrepentant slobs
It has been a tough few years for your average beer-guzzling American man. In the name of "metrosexual" fashion they have watched their weight, groomed themselves, and tried to discover their feelings.
But to the relief of many, the American equivalent of the "lad" is making a comeback in this year's crop of films, books and music.
The so-called male renaissance - the "manaissance" - is reflected in this summer's box-office hits where stars with girl appeal are eclipsed by flagrantly unreformed men.
