What’s going on in America? As I watch television, I am seeing commercial after commercial where men are now shaving off all their body hair just like women. What’s that all about? When I was growing up, boys were looking forward to having hair on their chests like all real men. And, of course, most men had hair on their arms and legs. I made the cut on my arms and legs, but missed out on the chest hair thing.
When he was governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger coined the term “girly men.” He was referring to the feminization of men before toxic masculinity became a thing. It would seem that these prejudices against real men have been so successful that American women are now seeking out foreign men, real men, visiting America during the Soccer World Cup Tournament. Good heavens, some of these women are hooking up with men in skirts (well, actually they kilts).
Then there is California, where today a man can spend $5,000 to go to a men’s camp and learn how to be a man. It’s California, so of course such a program is run by women. You can’t make this stuff up.
Well, all I can say is: Men of America—Man up! To the women of America: If you want a real man, you will find one wearing a MAGA hat.
