The Return Of The Girly Men
Sun, 11/09/2008 - 6:29am
Men across the nation are weeping tears of joy this week. Publicly and unabashedly. The election of Obama has validated and encouraged their right to publicly expose their sensitive inner selves to the world. Feelings rule.
Metrosexuals everywhere are experiencing a collective 'shiver up their legs', as they rush to inform one and all of the fascinating complexities and mysteries of their inner emotions. Setting the example that the new man isn't a man unless he has the ability to shed tears on cue, was CBS' Harry Smith. At the end of Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, an emotional Harry Smith declared:"...I wept tears of joy last night."

He then rushed off to pen his brilliant editorial, A Reporter Reflects on His Own Reaction to the Election. Girly Man meets the me generation. Demonstrating that Girly Men transcend racial lines, the Reverand Jesse Jackson was caught on tape, weeping his own tears of joy on Obama's victory. I guess it hasn't sunk in that Obama's election takes all the arrows out of Jackson's quiver but, hey, a man can dream, can't he? The Girly Men are back. With a vengence. And I expect they'll be granted a front row seat in any and all national conversations for the next four years. They are the new and improved version of men. Designed by feminists and launched in a successful frontal assault on America's outdated notion of masculinity. Gone are the masculine heros of yesterday - the John Wayne's and the General Patton's. Gone are the the testosterone laden warriors and the outdated dudes who think their job is to protect women. They've been banished to the fringes of the 'politically acceptable', along with all the men who don't shave their chest hair. (And they don't even have 72 virgins to console them. Virginity has been banned as, well, unacceptable for any self-realized woman. Or girl.) The new improved Girly Men are .. http://rightbias.com/News/110708girly.aspx
