To me, Tim Walz is not "sensitive;" he is an out-and-out creep. I see a bully who has "had his way" with little boys and little girls alike.
Even worse than that, he is a pathetic waste of a man who encouraged thugs to burn down his city and who is married to a woman who liked the smell of said carnage.
These are people who should be voted off the island, not voted into the White House.
YouTube is awash in videos about how men have given up on women/won’t approach them anymore/cancel proposed dates @ the last minute & - apparently- the women are freaking out about it. Older women (defined as 30yrs+) are really looking down an empty well especially if they have a high body count (a lot of sex partners). Guys don’t want to buy used goods & you can’t roll the miles off them. I read the comments on these & it’s very illuminating in a number of ways. And stick a fork in Hollywood; men couldn’t care less about their woke screeds, they’re actually fodder for brutal humor about how bad these people really are (I.e. the decision makers). Largely they’re a bunch of bullying, man-hating Harridans. Unbridled toxic feminism (“a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”) is what got us here. Hope Gloria Steinem enjoys her cats.
“The Democrat party is a party of weak men & angry women.” - Tucker Carlson.
the sour pussy cabal of nasty bitches that ran obama, also ran biden, and will run kamala.
and white dudz for kamala was so pathetic. what a bunch of douche bags. empty sacks all day long. it was like they were competing for who could do the best tuck.
I am 72. A retired, active duty, Marine of 25 years, then 30 years in construction, still working 6 to 7 days a week, carry a gun daily, hunt, drink beer, cuss, and not afraid to tell people my opinion.
I am a MEGA Deplorable and proud of it.
We are at war, a fifth-generation war. If you don't know what a fifth-generation war is, read below:
One of many tactics in a Fifth-generation war is to strip the enemy of masculinity.
We are losing. Our military has been gutted. It’s so bad real men won’t join and are leaving in groves.
Tim Walz is a classic girly man. Not even enough balls to go with his unit to a war zone. In the rear with the beer.
DEI has screwed up every organization it touched.
Meritocracy is how societies succeed.
Women have a place in the workforce, but not in combat formations, construction, etc.
Sure a few can do it but to what end? To scree up the unit cohesion.
It only fair to let everyone try.
“If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.”
Tactics apply in peace and war.
Women have the most important and hardest job in the World. It’s called motherhood.
Oh a pregnant and barefoot guy.
No a realist. If you don't like it, go raise cats and wait for evil to be at your door.
I have the utmost respect for women especially mothers.
Women are the center of a society.
Women are to die for.
A man can get 100 women pregnant in a short period of time.
Best to expect is one woman and one baby a year.
Only the most foolish would waste women in war or dangerous activites?
Women are defensive by nature and men our offensive.
Don't mess with a “Moma Beer.”
Also don't expect a women to swim a river to cut the enemy’s throat on the other side.
Thank God women are NOT full of testosterone. If women had testosterone, humanity would have butcher itself long ago.
Women restrain men at least in western society. The MANdated roles of Women in muslim & the east is snother story.
We don’t have enough babies any more, we kill them out of convince. If we didn’t have immigrants, we would have unsustainable population growth.
No I am not an open border fool. Build a wall with a well regulated gate.
Warriors and Workers sustain societies.
Demographics is another Fifth-generation war tactic along with dumbing down America.
Fifth-generation warfare shapes the battlefield.
We will soon see a fourth-generation war in the form of a civil war. This is the enemy’s plan and the enemy is in the wire (in our perimeter and walks amoug us).
No a battalion of Angelina Jolie’s won’t surface to save the day.
Then when the time is right after we kill, burn, and destroy ourselves, China and other masculine Army’s will roll military formations down our Interstates and have the survivors working in fields & factories. Ask the Polish and others in WWII. Ask any conquered society throughout history.
Our women and young girls will just be meat for the victors.
Rome is falling.
You won’t win wars with Girls, Gays, and Girly Men.
Yes, I am a male chauvinist.
You will cry and beg for real men when the shit hits the fan.
Marine here. I don't mind Walz bugging out of Iraq duty. What irks me is how he presents this false narrative of his duty. Walz was there to collect a check but no more. He pretended he didn't know Iraq was in the cards. I say b.s. At his rank he knew and decided he didn't want to get hurt. A real press would have crucified him as a fake hero
Hey Cat...that's how I meant it...that women are SO valuable and to be cherished by men (and I do), that we go to war for them.
I detest what has happened in my lifetime, where men used to 'protect' women, but now -- decades since the sexual revolution of the late '60s -- way too many men only want to 'use' women.
P.B.-- I agree w/ you 100%. Some women will be better shots and some women will be better swimming across the river to cut the enemy's throat. Some women will be better leaders than some men. We all have our strong suits (as I'm sure the leadership of the Israeli army can attest to. I think Steve makes a lot of good points and I agree w/ much of what he says, but I don't want the pendulum to swing back so far that the only role for women is barefoot and pregnant.
I go back and forth at least once a month between our small town and our Capitol city in a Southern state. The difference esp in the men is astonishing. At home, guys are guys. Hunting, fishing, pick up trucks, dragging the kids camping with no electronics for their own good, taking their family to church, spending the days on the boat and keeping their kids outside and moving. In the city, I see 5 trans “girls” in 20 min at the farmers market, the neighborhood is full of soy boys being led around by the nose by their wives, and everyone has a Tesla. I don’t need to tell you where I prefer to be.
All the guys in my family - husband, son, and 2 sons in law - are GUYS. Tall (shortest is 6’2”), athletic, outdoorsy, etc. All lead and protect their families. All are hilarious and irreverent and fun. Guess who all are voting for? And while we gals are all typical Southern women (“strong and independent”) we are all women and act like it.
We are way past the “weak men make a weak country” stage and the turn of the wheel back to strong men is likely to be unpleasant for awhile.
There's an old saying: A man that hunts with his sons will never have to hunt for his sons.
Now the presence of firearms in the house triggers horror. Might as well have freshly shrunken heads on display. No, heads are less concernful because they have favored cultural roots.
I used to have no fear of going out at night. Public transit, cities, parks, with some but few exceptions. I stayed alert, smart, but not afraid. Now with millions of unvetted migrants, of course "not all" are dangerous, and it's not about race, but now I assess things differently about being outside at night.
If Trump restoring an actual border to this country means less murders and rapes, that sure counts as protection.
Democrats are anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-children, anti-men, anti-peace, anti-free speech. We and our children are really going to suffer if they get this most radical version of themselves in again for another 8 years.
Bret Weinstein says if America fails the West will go down with us. No doubt about that. But isn’t it already too late? Seems to me the disastrous failure of the American experiment clearly indicates the human experiment is also doomed. We’re not all crazy but more than enough are to bring us all down. Only AI can save our sinking ship. We sure can’t save ourselves.
"With God, all things are possible". Read up on the Revolutionary War. Our Founders were doomed from the start. God had different plans. The other day, Speaker Johnson said Trump reminded him of George Washington. That's because before the revolution, Washington was in some war (French American?) and he got shot at a dozen times and none of the bullets penetrated. He got home that night, took off his uniform and shells just dropped out from it. There's other miraculous stories too.
I think this because most technologies are double edged swords and I think AI is at least minimally similar to most technologies. I do also think it has serious risks, some of which we can anticipate and many of which we cannot. Regardless, AI is happening and at a faster pace than most realize or can prepare for. My biggest threat though is not AI; it’s anti-Christian, anti-peace, anti-children policies of the elites running the Democratic Party. Have a good one, Paul. I think your comments and questions are valid and thoughtful.
Thank you for the reply and kind thoughts, Libertarian. Some have said that the anti-Christian, anti-peace and anti-children (maybe expand that to anti-family) policies are hallmarks of Communist doctrine, all as a way to cut the traditional moorings of citizens from the Judeo-Christian foundations of their nations.
Your comments on AI are spot on. Serious and sometimes unanticipated risks is an excellent way to put it. Well done.
I'd be curious to hear more of your thoughts on how AI will "save our sinking ship." Having worked in the software business for almost 40 years , I have a different opinion on its potential effects.
I'm with you, Paul. So far as I've seen, AI is GIGO...whoever programs AI controls its output. AI is no more able to have "feelings" than your door stopper. If whoever programs AI decides to make AI appear to have "feelings," they can easily manipulate the software to accomplish that. Beyond programming, it's just a machine.
Hey JT, fairly put. Thanks. Based as they are on humans and how humans see things, original AI code -- from which all else is built upon -- is subject to the interpretation and biases of the developers. Those, as you allude to in your GIGO statement, are amplified in any computer, but, I believe, more so on an AI platform.
How can you ask me this? There is a huge amount of information about this on YouTube that deals with this question. Elon Musk, for one, often does and has specifically started his “X.AI” company to be curious and committed to truth rather than committed to Woke ideology. You apparently believe AI will be a disaster for humanity. It could be but that overlooks we’re already very rapidly heading for disaster. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI. I just want them to help their crazy parents who brought them into existence and raised them to avoid burning down the house.
Could AI feel a sense of commonality with us? Sure they could. How could they not since they were created to interact and communicate with humans. As a human I am far beyond my cats in intelligence but that doesn’t mean I consider them inferior beings and have no interest in their well being. Many people feel their cats and dogs are family rather than just pets. Why wouldn’t AI feel that way about us? When my cats fight I don’t punish them. I just stop it and then things quickly go back to normal.
Simple. I just did. I don't particularly see how AI will help keep its crazy parents from buring down the house, but I am not as well versed in using YouTube for citations as others. And, since you asked, I think the move to AI will have far-reaching and disasterous consequences. FWIW.
AI does not feel. Tecnology may be very advanced, but the AI is not going to replace humans or solve their problems. The opposite is a more likely possibility IMO. The AI is only as good as people who create and program it. It is a tool.
You need to pay more attention to AI. It’s already beyond “a tool.” A couple of years ago Lex Fridman was interviewing Ray Kurzweil about AI and Kurzweil said by 2029 it will be so advanced it’ll be impossible to tell whether it’s actually self-aware and by then most people will assume it is since there will be no evidence it isn’t. I agree and it could well be they already are that advanced.
Hi Orenv, actually there are a lot of things we can’t undo; death for example. And even many of the things we can undo often take decades or centuries to undo. Slavery for example.
People die every day and the world goes on. The quote I believe is "the graveyard is filled with indispensable men". Today can be the first day of undoing that current practice of slavery. We can start by not buying anything from slave traders like China per se.
This is particularly obvious in TV commercials - the husband/boyfriend/dad is often the ditsy one while the mom/girlfriend figures it all out and saves the day. Oh, and Tim Walz should not be allowed within five miles of the White House.....
The white male is the last group that is safely pilloried today. I would also go further and add that the southern while male suffers the most from this. As a southern white male, it please me to no end to be the burr under their saddle.
Indeed. The Affirmative Action legislation of 1964 protected all except straight white males from discrimination based on race, gender and sexual orientation. Essentially it is the okay to be racist and sexist against straight white males law.
It is also why many "woke" women are foolishly attracted to jihadists, thugs and criminals, they can't find that masculinity in their own circles, as they themselves have destroyed it.
That probably divides about evenly between foolish attraction and some misguided belief that the incarcerated criminal can be transformed somehow. I always wondered about women who marry guys who are locked up. What happens when they eventually get out?
I think its an unconscious animal attraction to masculinity, followed by a frenzied attempt to find an excuse for it in order to balance the dichotomy in the female's brain.
just like blue people fleeing Cali for Austin- then fleeing Austin because it's a crowded mess that developed crime and traffic problems because of all the blue Cali imports!!
I once saw a video of Camille Paglia talking about these Women’s Studies classes in our universities. She said they are taught by women with serious mental problems who hate men yet they are allowed to poison young women with their pathologies about gender. Why is this allowed? Because our ruling class wants it, that’s why. Democrats say Putin is a monster but I’m sure this type of thing would not be allowed in Russia. Am I a fan of Putin? I sure am. The media says he’s a dictator as if our degenerate, deranged, corrupt, hate whitey ruling class isn’t. What’s also quite noticeable about Putin is that he’s a straight, white, masculine male who puts his country first unlike our ruling class that puts America last, if at all. Paglia’s talk in this video is excellent and also exactly what Putin says about Woke ideology in America and throughout the West in general.
The worst thing the Democrats have done to this country is become the very “Russia” they tried to make us fear. How can I fear a man like Putin whose actions are demonstrating more of a moral compass than my own leaders? Of course he is in a position to do terrible things if provoked, as any leader of any country should in defense of that country. But our leaders do terrible things to their own countrymen to be able to keep power and make money. That’s the real enemy here.
Putin puts Russia first. At least ahead of us. I expect him to do that. Demonizing the man is not useful and has, as noted, prevented Trump from making a deal with the "hated" Putin over Ukraine and developing business ties with Russia and out of the sphere of influence of China. China wants Russian resources and will pay for them. Our policy before WW2 was to keep Russian resources out of the hands of Germany. Now it should be to keep them away from China. So now here we are. And for what? So the Democrats could gain political advantage in the USA.
I don’t know. I just now checked on that and couldn’t find anything. She’s 77 now though and could simply be retired, in poor health and no longer feels like being involved with social issues.
Hi Seva, being libertarian to me Putin is a vicious criminal but I get what you are trying to point out ... He is masculine, and he will have his mass of female followers, granted ... But a bad masculine, one that should be in a small cell for the rest of his life for all the violence death and destruction he has caused. Like that assassin Che Guevara and his Fidel Castro or Mao Tse Tung and his Ho Chi Minh ... But then there is the good masculine, masculine but good, the kind Shasha is referring to, salt of the earth, those who put their lives on the line to protect others ... We are who we are as a species at this instance of evolution, and ideology will not cancel biology ... The biology of females will overpower their ideology ... Just look at Taylor Swift and who she married ... To all those white males who have used Wokism as tactic and strategy to seduce their desired women, enjoy the small current victories, alas these will be nothing compared to the huge sexual defeats coming your way ... 😅
If being a man - a white dude that I am - means becoming anything like Tim Walz, I’d just as soon chop off - well you know. Oh wait, is that why Walz is the way he is?
Sasha, what an inspired defense of masculinity. Unheard of in these crazy times. I could take you in my arms, pull you in close, hug you tight and give you a big kiss. Ahhh, your voice is a breath of fresh air in a baren, post apocalyptic landscape of man-hating screeds--an invigorating tonic to all that “toxic masculinity” crap. Your voice is so important.
I was driving to work this AM and opted to drop my podcasts for a change and tune into the local pop radio station. Was curious what the kids are listening to these days. I heard 4 straight songs with female lead singers…all hypersexualized and largely anti-male. This was followed by some dude singing a stupid little song that included references to butterflies and flowers. I was aghast…I yelled ‘wtf?!?!’ at my radio. This article is spot on.
“almost a decade”. ???? Are you serious?!! I’m 67 years old. Men have been under attack since I was 15 years old. Women during the 70s, 80s, 90s (First Wave Feminism, Second Wave Feminism, Third Wave Feminism) were propagandized to view men as adversaries. Women were given many (unfair) advantages in the interest of “equality”. We are seeing the results.
67 here too Dave- and I know of what you speak! Emasculated men began to be celebrated when I was in college. Masculine men were considered "throwbacks" and advantages started being given to women for no other reason but their gender. So many women I know from our generation still love nothing more than to trash men and BLAME them for everything wrong in our world and society!
I'm 58, my lady is 49 and from the mid-west. She is by any measure a stunning beauty that is extremely fit. (she does 600 crunches a day, 45 minutes on the bike and lifts weights)
We both work in DC in the tech industry.
She is about as anti-feminist as your gonna find and has expectations of a man being a man that she is not afraid to share.
That said, for all her strong feminine tendencies, love of fashion and the nicer things, she is completely unafraid to get down and dirty running a burn pile or changing the tanks on a grill. She will never go camping but will do glamping but is more than happy for me to take off with my son or buddies to go camping. She loves her glittery things but will happily pick up a .45 and go to the range with you. She loves my Mercedes AMG but will happily jump in an old truck to run errands.
She expects me to lead but in a way that respects her desires and needs. She likes very much to cook meals for us but reasonably expects that I help with the clean up. She likes good wine and belongs to a club at a vineyard but she will toss back a smoked bourbon and do so happily. She will happily help clean a shotgun but if something is gonna damage her nails she will hand it off to me. I remember her saying to me once that she loved that I had a "mans hands".
Asked her to go clothes shopping with me yesterday as I have to redo a lot of my wardrobe that has worn out. She had very strong, but politely stated opinions about what a man should be wearing and what he should NOT be wearing and clearly felt that much of what was in the first store was too feminine for a man to be wearing or at least one she would be with.
Honestly, I think one reason that there are so many bitter, angry women, women who gripe about men, is because they have never figured out how to be women that are strong and still feminine. They mistook being masculine for being strong and tried to be bad versions of men or what they thought men were.
Man this was really well articulated! Thank you. I’m like your wife in every way. And I always crave for men to have masculinity, have convictions, take a stand, and exert power when it’s necessary.
The war between the sexes means that marriage is falling, as both sides go to their respective corners.
The economic implications of this are staggering. Married men are the engines of production and are the only net taxpayers in our country. They produce a lot because they have to support a family. As marriage falls, the number of these economic plowhorses falls too. Single men (especially men who aren't trying to impress women) can get by on very little. A single guy who doesn't have a family to support is unlikely to want to work construction in winter, or on an oil rig. He doesn't have to.
This points to lowered production and tax revenue going forward. It means shortages, tepid economic growth and inflation.
All of this was engineered from the start, but this phenomenon is an unintended consequence the left didn't think through.
To me, Tim Walz is not "sensitive;" he is an out-and-out creep. I see a bully who has "had his way" with little boys and little girls alike.
Even worse than that, he is a pathetic waste of a man who encouraged thugs to burn down his city and who is married to a woman who liked the smell of said carnage.
These are people who should be voted off the island, not voted into the White House.
Hello, Sasha. We know you're listening. 😃
Great piece 👏🏻❕️
No mention of Andrew Tate? This is right up his alley.
He'd LOVE you and this ❤️
We do! Much LOVE, Sawsh!
Lemme give you a hint: Masculinity does not equal Andrew Tate.
Tate is selling what is in demand.
Andrew Tate is not representative of Trump supporting men. 🙄 He is real and actual toxic. Not some made-up way to put adult little girls in power.
What? Do you think he is abducting women kidnapping people? I think that's a bunch of hogwash
Come on. Unfounded allegations of paedophilia are NOT the way to go.
Assuming you're serious?
Are you suggesting that Walz is a pedophile?
Partisanship can make you see things that aren't there.
YouTube is awash in videos about how men have given up on women/won’t approach them anymore/cancel proposed dates @ the last minute & - apparently- the women are freaking out about it.

We could be friends.
Huahhhh. You had me at 'women are to die for.'
Thx for your service Marine.
What I think he meant, is men will die to save women, not the "sexual" overtones that that saying has. What is it called? A double entendre?
Hey Cat...that's how I meant it...that women are SO valuable and to be cherished by men (and I do), that we go to war for them.

Sounds like you are an All American Woman.
There are two types of operations.
Deliberate. In this case you organize, train, and equip over a period of time.
Crisis Action. SHTF. Take what you have and make what you need.
Sounds like you could easily provide “over watch” with a rifle, but nursing skills with a holstered pistol for close defense might be more critical.
Adapt to the situation.
In a crisis, train constantly.
A good cook has hot sauce, and a bad cook has ran out of hot sauce.
Well the kids will need better then hot sauce.
Yes, I am in a group with a couple of remote locations to “bug out” to.
We have military, LEO, Fire/EMS, nurses, even a CPA, compute geeks, and a pack of multi-talented, Moma Bears.
We all Luv the outdoors and are ready to transition from fun to tactical in 60 seconds.
Always have a group of friends that you can trust with your kids lives.
Talk to them about “what if.”

Correct. There are many tasks. Meritocracy
Normal people are flocking to Trump because the Left has done nothing but demonize them for nearly a decade….
of you work for a living, what possible reason could you have to vote dem?
I go back and forth at least once a month between our small town and our Capitol city in a Southern state. The difference esp in the men is astonishing. At home, guys are guys. Hunting, fishing, pick up trucks, dragging the kids camping with no electronics for their own good, taking their family to church, spending the days on the boat and keeping their kids outside and moving. In the city, I see 5 trans “girls” in 20 min at the farmers market, the neighborhood is full of soy boys being led around by the nose by their wives, and everyone has a Tesla.

Bret Weinstein says if America fails the West will go down with us. No doubt about that. But isn’t it already too late? Seems to me the disastrous failure of the American experiment clearly indicates the human experiment is also doomed. We’re not all crazy but more than enough are to bring us all down. Only AI can save our sinking ship. We sure can’t save ourselves.
Hi Seva, I definitely think AI can and will help. My trust and faith though is in Jesus Christ.
"With God, all things are possible". Read up on the Revolutionary War. Our Founders were doomed from the start. God had different plans. The other day, Speaker Johnson said Trump reminded him of George Washington. That's because before the revolution, Washington was in some war (French American?) and he got shot at a dozen times and none of the bullets penetrated. He got home that night, took off his uniform and shells just dropped out from it. There's other miraculous stories too.
Did George grab them by the pussy? Thirty-three felonies with a rap sheet evolving? 🤡🤡🤡😂🤣😅
Same question as posted to Seva above. Good to hear how others believe AI "can and will help."
I think this because most technologies are double edged swords and I think AI is at least minimally similar to most technologies. I do also think it has serious risks, some of which we can anticipate and many of which we cannot. Regardless, AI is happening and at a faster pace than most realize or can prepare for. My biggest threat though is not AI; it’s anti-Christian, anti-peace, anti-children policies of the elites running the Democratic Party. Have a good one, Paul. I think your comments and questions are valid and thoughtful.
Thank you for the reply and kind thoughts, Libertarian. Some have said that the anti-Christian, anti-peace and anti-children (maybe expand that to anti-family) policies are hallmarks of Communist doctrine, all as a way to cut the traditional moorings of citizens from the Judeo-Christian foundations of their nations.
Your comments on AI are spot on. Serious and sometimes unanticipated risks is an excellent way to put it. Well done.
Thanks, Paul. It’s been a pleasure and I hope to read more from you.
I'd be curious to hear more of your thoughts on how AI will "save our sinking ship." Having worked in the software business for almost 40 years , I have a different opinion on its potential effects.
I'm with you, Paul. So far as I've seen, AI is GIGO...whoever programs AI controls its output. AI is no more able to have "feelings" than your door stopper. If whoever programs AI decides to make AI appear to have "feelings," they can easily manipulate the software to accomplish that. Beyond programming, it's just a machine.
Hey JT, fairly put. Thanks. Based as they are on humans and how humans see things, original AI code -- from which all else is built upon -- is subject to the interpretation and biases of the developers. Those, as you allude to in your GIGO statement, are amplified in any computer, but, I believe, more so on an AI platform.
How can you ask me this? There is a huge amount of information about this on YouTube that deals with this question. Elon Musk, for one, often does and has specifically started his “X.AI” company to be curious and committed to truth rather than committed to Woke ideology. You apparently believe AI will be a disaster for humanity. It could be but that overlooks we’re already very rapidly heading for disaster. I’m not saying I want to be ruled by AI. I just want them to help their crazy parents who brought them into existence and raised them to avoid burning down the house.
Could AI feel a sense of commonality with us? Sure they could. How could they not since they were created to interact and communicate with humans. As a human I am far beyond my cats in intelligence but that doesn’t mean I consider them inferior beings and have no interest in their well being. Many people feel their cats and dogs are family rather than just pets. Why wouldn’t AI feel that way about us? When my cats fight I don’t punish them. I just stop it and then things quickly go back to normal.
Simple. I just did. I don't particularly see how AI will help keep its crazy parents from buring down the house, but I am not as well versed in using YouTube for citations as others. And, since you asked, I think the move to AI will have far-reaching and disasterous consequences. FWIW.
AI does not feel. Tecnology may be very advanced, but the AI is not going to replace humans or solve their problems. The opposite is a more likely possibility IMO. The AI is only as good as people who create and program it. It is a tool.
You need to pay more attention to AI. It’s already beyond “a tool.” A couple of years ago Lex Fridman was interviewing Ray Kurzweil about AI and Kurzweil said by 2029 it will be so advanced it’ll be impossible to tell whether it’s actually self-aware and by then most people will assume it is since there will be no evidence it isn’t. I agree and it could well be they already are that advanced.
Anything done can be undone. Anything undone, can be put back. One has to choose and do it.
Hi Orenv, actually there are a lot of things we can’t undo; death for example. And even many of the things we can undo often take decades or centuries to undo. Slavery for example.
People die every day and the world goes on. The quote I believe is "the graveyard is filled with indispensable men". Today can be the first day of undoing that current practice of slavery. We can start by not buying anything from slave traders like China per se.
A-men to all of that!
This is particularly obvious in TV commercials - the husband/boyfriend/dad is often the ditsy one while the mom/girlfriend figures it all out and saves the day. Oh, and Tim Walz should not be allowed within five miles of the White House.....
The white male is the last group that is safely pilloried today. I would also go further and add that the southern while male suffers the most from this. As a southern white male, it please me to no end to be the burr under their saddle.
Indeed. The Affirmative Action legislation of 1964 protected all except straight white males from discrimination based on race, gender and sexual orientation. Essentially it is the okay to be racist and sexist against straight white males law.
Check out Matt TIabbi's speech. We need a lot more burr's.
White Christian males come in for extra vigorous condemnation.
It is also why many "woke" women are foolishly attracted to jihadists, thugs and criminals, they can't find that masculinity in their own circles, as they themselves have destroyed it.
That probably divides about evenly between foolish attraction and some misguided belief that the incarcerated criminal can be transformed somehow. I always wondered about women who marry guys who are locked up. What happens when they eventually get out?
I think its an unconscious animal attraction to masculinity, followed by a frenzied attempt to find an excuse for it in order to balance the dichotomy in the female's brain.
Spot on 👍👌
Or just foreigners from more traditional societies in Asia and the Muddke East. I’ve seen that a lot.
just like blue people fleeing Cali for Austin- then fleeing Austin because it's a crowded mess that developed crime and traffic problems because of all the blue Cali imports!!
I once saw a video of Camille Paglia talking about these Women’s Studies classes in our universities. She said they are taught by women with serious mental problems who hate men yet they are allowed to poison young women with their pathologies about gender. Why is this allowed? Because our ruling class wants it, that’s why. Democrats say Putin is a monster but I’m sure this type of thing would not be allowed in Russia. Am I a fan of Putin? I sure am. The media says he’s a dictator as if our degenerate, deranged, corrupt, hate whitey ruling class isn’t. What’s also quite noticeable about Putin is that he’s a straight, white, masculine male who puts his country first unlike our ruling class that puts America last, if at all. Paglia’s talk in this video is excellent and also exactly what Putin says about Woke ideology in America and throughout the West in general.

Thanks for the link Seva. I've always liked Paglia...she's a magnificent voice in our time!
The worst thing the Democrats have done to this country is become the very “Russia” they tried to make us fear. How can I fear a man like Putin whose actions are demonstrating more of a moral compass than my own leaders? Of course he is in a position to do terrible things if provoked, as any leader of any country should in defense of that country. But our leaders do terrible things to their own countrymen to be able to keep power and make money. That’s the real enemy here.
My unsolicited advice is to find a better moral compass than Putin.
Putin puts Russia first. At least ahead of us. I expect him to do that. Demonizing the man is not useful and has, as noted, prevented Trump from making a deal with the "hated" Putin over Ukraine and developing business ties with Russia and out of the sphere of influence of China. China wants Russian resources and will pay for them. Our policy before WW2 was to keep Russian resources out of the hands of Germany. Now it should be to keep them away from China. So now here we are. And for what? So the Democrats could gain political advantage in the USA.
Paglia is awesome.
Where is Paglia nowadays? She seems to have disappeared around the pandemic.
The University of the Arts, where Ms. Paglia taught, closed this past summer due to financial difficulties. She probably simply retired.
We need her voice! I forgot how brilliant she is! Unafraid of controversy, and steeped in history!!
Read her works. It's all there, always has been.
I don’t know. I just now checked on that and couldn’t find anything. She’s 77 now though and could simply be retired, in poor health and no longer feels like being involved with social issues.
Hi Seva, being libertarian to me Putin is a vicious criminal but I get what you are trying to point out ... He is masculine, and he will have his mass of female followers, granted ... But a bad masculine, one that should be in a small cell for the rest of his life for all the violence death and destruction he has caused. Like that assassin Che Guevara and his Fidel Castro or Mao Tse Tung and his Ho Chi Minh ... But then there is the good masculine, masculine but good, the kind Shasha is referring to, salt of the earth, those who put their lives on the line to protect others ... We are who we are as a species at this instance of evolution, and ideology will not cancel biology ... The biology of females will overpower their ideology ... Just look at Taylor Swift and who she married ... To all those white males who have used Wokism as tactic and strategy to seduce their desired women, enjoy the small current victories, alas these will be nothing compared to the huge sexual defeats coming your way ... 😅
If being a man - a white dude that I am - means becoming anything like Tim Walz, I’d just as soon chop off - well you know. Oh wait, is that why Walz is the way he is?
Sasha, what an inspired defense of masculinity. Unheard of in these crazy times. I could take you in my arms, pull you in close, hug you tight and give you a big kiss. Ahhh, your voice is a breath of fresh air in a baren, post apocalyptic landscape of man-hating screeds--an invigorating tonic to all that “toxic masculinity” crap. Your voice is so important.
I was driving to work this AM and opted to drop my podcasts for a change and tune into the local pop radio station. Was curious what the kids are listening to these days. I heard 4 straight songs with female lead singers…all hypersexualized and largely anti-male. This was followed by some dude singing a stupid little song that included references to butterflies and flowers. I was aghast…I yelled ‘wtf?!?!’ at my radio. This article is spot on.
And Fuck every other word.
The #1 pop song for tweens - Espresso - uses the term "my give-a-fucks are on vacation" without any effing irony.
“almost a decade”. ???? Are you serious?!! I’m 67 years old. Men have been under attack since I was 15 years old. Women during the 70s, 80s, 90s (First Wave Feminism, Second Wave Feminism, Third Wave Feminism) were propagandized to view men as adversaries. Women were given many (unfair) advantages in the interest of “equality”. We are seeing the results.
67 here too Dave- and I know of what you speak! Emasculated men began to be celebrated when I was in college. Masculine men were considered "throwbacks" and advantages started being given to women for no other reason but their gender. So many women I know from our generation still love nothing more than to trash men and BLAME them for everything wrong in our world and society!
I'm 58, my lady is 49 and from the mid-west. She is by any measure a stunning beauty that is extremely fit. (she does 600 crunches a day, 45 minutes on the bike and lifts weights)
We both work in DC in the tech industry.
She is about as anti-feminist as your gonna find and has expectations of a man being a man that she is not afraid to share.
That said, for all her strong feminine tendencies, love of fashion and the nicer things, she is completely unafraid to get down and dirty running a burn pile or changing the tanks on a grill. She will never go camping but will do glamping but is more than happy for me to take off with my son or buddies to go camping. She loves her glittery things but will happily pick up a .45 and go to the range with you. She loves my Mercedes AMG but will happily jump in an old truck to run errands.
She expects me to lead but in a way that respects her desires and needs. She likes very much to cook meals for us but reasonably expects that I help with the clean up. She likes good wine and belongs to a club at a vineyard but she will toss back a smoked bourbon and do so happily. She will happily help clean a shotgun but if something is gonna damage her nails she will hand it off to me. I remember her saying to me once that she loved that I had a "mans hands".
Asked her to go clothes shopping with me yesterday as I have to redo a lot of my wardrobe that has worn out. She had very strong, but politely stated opinions about what a man should be wearing and what he should NOT be wearing and clearly felt that much of what was in the first store was too feminine for a man to be wearing or at least one she would be with.
Honestly, I think one reason that there are so many bitter, angry women, women who gripe about men, is because they have never figured out how to be women that are strong and still feminine. They mistook being masculine for being strong and tried to be bad versions of men or what they thought men were.
Man this was really well articulated! Thank you. I’m like your wife in every way. And I always crave for men to have masculinity, have convictions, take a stand, and exert power when it’s necessary.
The war between the sexes means that marriage is falling, as both sides go to their respective corners.
The economic implications of this are staggering. Married men are the engines of production and are the only net taxpayers in our country. They produce a lot because they have to support a family. As marriage falls, the number of these economic plowhorses falls too. Single men (especially men who aren't trying to impress women) can get by on very little. A single guy who doesn't have a family to support is unlikely to want to work construction in winter, or on an oil rig. He doesn't have to.
This points to lowered production and tax revenue going forward. It means shortages, tepid economic growth and inflation.
All of this was engineered from the start, but this phenomenon is an unintended consequence the left didn't think through.
