It seems that these days it is almost a crime to be a masculine man in American society. Especially after decades of shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of Queens, and Everybody Loves Raymond. According to these shows dad is quite a stupid bumbling and out of shape moron who would be almost useless without his beautiful, intelligent, and IN CHARGE wife. These husbands are always getting into mischief, slacking off on the job, and portrayed as not very bright. It seems that this is having an impact especially in today's politically charged climate. Men are becoming much more effeminate as a result of this campaign. I believe that this is causing massive problems with the children that grow up watching these "PROGRAMS". (It is called programming for a reason.)
What happened to shows like Home Improvement? A great series about a functional family that works with their neighbors to IMPROVE the home not make a mockery of it. Hollywood definitely does not like this theme and recently cancelled Tim Allen's popular show Last Man Standing. It was the second highest rated show on the network at the time yet still got the boot. That show was about a healthy American family with conservative undertones. I am actually surprised it lasted for 6 seasons. The description of the show on IMDB is exactly this "A married father of three tries to maintain his manliness in a world increasingly dominated by women". I am not a huge Tim Allen fan but I use him as an example because men like him in Hollywood are few and far between. I do not hold the opinion that men must be shown as dominate and women as subservient. What I do not like to see is one gender elevated by suppressing the other. It seems that we are at a turning point though which is encouraging. Rejecting our natural instincts to suite the insanity of Hollywood propaganda is dangerous thinking. We need strong men in society more than ever to stand up to this assault on masculinity.
In my eyes it's just a pendulum swing. Males were absolutely dominant in the 20th century (and prior). Femininity was not associated with power. Today that is changing (as it should be), but of course there is some overreaction and demonizing of healthy masculinity.
Its just a pendulum, swing back and forth, trying to find its balance. Crypto enthusiasts who study the markets will understand :)
Well at no other point in time were Olympic male athletes running around wearing a dress and winning woman of the year.
Its even worse here in Germany. Thanks to media brainwash, virility, aggresion, load speaking and in general male expresion has been banned by implementing the subsconcious belief that it is Nazi.
You are so right. Germany is being invaded right now and Europe needs to stop allowing themselves to be destroyed by their leaders.
I thought of Home Improvement during that first paragraph! As for Last Man Standing being canceled, you should probably watch the episode with Tim Allen preparing his Speech for his daughter's College graduation. Just say Liberals can't take a joke.
I actually have watched that scene and was going to mention it in the article because it was definitely a factor.
