Mr. Chapin is not a man, and I’m not a butch.

I will say again to whatever mouth-breathers and knuckle-draggers he chases over here — I don’t have a problem with men. I like men. What I hate is the faux masculinity — actually a kind of perpetual adolescence — that Mr. Chapin exemplifies.

And, of course, you miss the whole point and assume that I dislike you because you are a man. No, I dislike you because you are NOT a man.

A real adult, manly man is a rare and wondrous creature, and I wish there were more of them. Sorrowfully, you and Mr. Chapin don’t count.

And now, comments are closed.

BTW — You might learn something about where faux masculinity comes from in my new post. Please do not add comments to that post without reading it. Such comments will be deleted (see commenting rules).

Why is it whenever a man disagrees with a butch, that it is always some women from the past that has done him wrong. And right, they should seek therapy from a profession that is all leftist morons. You know, the ones that reversed the theory that homosexuality is a metal disorder.

[Note: I started to delete that last sentence because it violates comment rules, but the misspelling of “mental” makes it rather cute. — maha]

Fortunately or unfortunately, this will likely take someone whose real masculinity is beyond question, such as a Wes Clark or a Jim Webb. Or even a Bill Maher or Tim Robbins who sometimes has the guts, if not a recognizable record of achievement in the real world. It could well be someone from the entertainment world who first says what’s been written here, in much the way that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert broke the ice by making it “safe” to joke at Bush and wingnuttia. They led with humor, giving voice to what so many of us were horrified at inside.

Sadly, Edwards only reacted to the surface message - about faggots - by condemning it, and preaching a message of inclusion. Necessary, but as you and Glenn so aptly point out, this is not what Ann Coulter is about, and even she admitted as much. Edwards’ message dances to Ann’s game, and does nothing to disarm her.

What’s needed is a knock out blow. When one of our public figures can speak to this pathetic need for a father figure while citing all the immature behavior on the world stage that’s the result of this childish longing, speaking directly to the sickness within people like Ann Coulter and others, that’s when the right will be seen for the hollow weenies that they truly are. That’s when our side will see a long overdue measure of respect. It will only happen when we have the guts and insight to call a spade a spade, in such a way that anybody whose eyes aren’t blind can see.

Men and women are equals???Well talk to me when you can squeeze an 8 pound child out of your penis about being equal.Talk to me when YOU stand up for equal pay for women for an equal days work…talk to me when women can go home and sit on their asses at night instead of their days just starting when they get off work and we will talk about equal.Talk to me about being equal when the number of males who are victims of spouse abuse or death at the hands of a spouse is anywhere near equal.See, what you are giving me is lip service about us being equal…not equality.And you want to whine here about how you are threatened by women?SAD INDEED.If we are equal when the hell do men intend to let society reflect that?You equality seems to be very selective at best.One could consider that chauvinistic but unlike you I don’t need to call you a chauvinist,,, your words do it for me.
It was amusing how you claimed you wouldn’t call names then you labeled me a chauvinist….WOW….you can’t even be honest for one paragraph…you shouldn’t write a book.Instead you should read some.
I am so so so sorry some evil women lied against you in your past and that you have had some bad experiences but standing up for yourself didn’t change what happened to you…and since you still are carrying it like baggage it didn’t help you move on either.Please seek help and try not to spread your illness to others. But thanks for educating us on what is wrong with the angry white male.It is a shocking look inside the minds of frightened males.To a therapist you are a summer home in the hamptons…gotta love it.

For me, the term, “manly man” equates to a code word for buggery.

Real men are neither dominant nor submissive.

That’s the crux of the matter as I, nor anyone I no of, runs around attacking women either verbally or physically.

Everything you write is one long howl of adolescent rage and fear and resentment of women. I’m sorry you are so screwed up, but I have no patience with it. Get therapy, and go away.

“Wow…do men really find woman so threatening that there is a need to defend ones self?” These are the words of a chauvinist. Men and women are equals, and both sexes should always defend themselves when they are attacked. Your comment would make sense only if men were somehow superior and above women which we certainly are not in this country.

“Oh, and grow up and be a man.” So then, being a man means being a submissive? Is that what being a man means? Letting others lie about you as you smile obliviously? That’s silly but these comments do help me with my work so I appreciate the imput.

What exactly is your position? If a woman says something about a man then it is your belief that the man should say nothing in his own defense? That’s the crux of the matter as I, nor anyone I no of, runs around attacking women either verbally or physically. Why would this be because we evolved with one sex to play the serf and the other to play the feudal master?

I think the world will be a better place when both men and women stand up for themselves whenever they are demeaned or insulted.

“My genitalia does not make me your inferior.”

I never said it did. Learn to read. Oh, and grow up and be a man. I like men who are, you know, men.
