Brace yourself folks, for yet another un-important story for today! Hopefully Lee Ward won't get too excited this time around, since, you know, every post ever published has to be about the most urgent, pressing news stories of the day.
I came across a post today that apparently is about five years old. It's an essay called "The Pussification of the Western Male", written by Kim du Toit (I know it's a well-known essay, but I swear, it's my first time coming across it, just today). I read the entire thing, and loved it. There is some profanity, but it's a great essay (if you're easily offended, then I suggest ignoring this post). I sincerely hope he doesn't mind my reposting a large portion of the essay here (it's after the jump), but it really is such a great read, so be sure to follow the link to read the entire thing.
I know it's incredibly long, but even as a woman, I loved it. I loved every word.
It is ridiculously hard to find real men today. I've dated every antithesis to the real man that exists. One guy was the biggest metrosexual I've ever encountered. He highlighted his short hair -- when he asked me to do it, he complained over and over again about how pulling strands with the tiny metal hook through the cap on his head hurt his scalp so badly. He took baths, in this gigantic tub, with bath beads, bath salts, bath bubbles. He'd light candles and play Enya. He liked to shop. Apparently, he watched Queer Eye for the Straight Guy a lot.
I've dated guys with no brains or spines of their own -- they just follow the crowd, doing whatever their friends will do, without ever giving a thought for themselves. I've dated guys that get mad when I don't cuddle at night, or get hurt when I don't want to go into deep discussions about our "feelings".
Are there honestly women out there that are attracted to these kinds of men?
My boyfriend is not one of those men (thank God). I am always shocked to find women attracted to men that take more than half an hour to get ready, or have to get all spruced up to go to the grocery store. I hate it when a guy I might be dating won't do anything -- or care -- when other guys hit on me right in front of them. I just want to shake reality into them! As Kim's wife noted, it could just be a look or a change in his stance -- but a real man won't just let it pass him by. You don't have to go beat the asshole down, but if someone's hitting on your woman right in front of you, do you really think you should just put up with it? I mean, it's more than a little disrespectful to you, the so-called man in the relationship.
I don't want a man who doesn't know anything about sports, cars, and guns. I also don't want a man to sit there and blather on for hours about his "feelings" -- I'm the woman, not you, and that's my department (although any kind of smart woman will try to reserve those conversations for other women only). As much as I may joke about it, it isn't really exciting to hear about a man watching Sex and the City, or wanting to go see the latest Jennifer Lopez chick flick.
Men and women are different. If I wanted to date someone who was sensitive, emotional, stylish, cuddly, and always prepared to talk about "feelings", I'd be a lesbian and date a damn woman. I, and I'd be willing to say most women (real women, anyways), want a real man. When I get married, my husband will be the head of the household, because that's where he should be. It doesn't make my thoughts or opinions any less valid or worthwhile, but he should be the one running things. Ultimately, he's the one who should be in charge.
Real men understand honor, loyalty, camaraderie, duty, valour. They understand the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, and will stand up when needed to simply because it is what's right. They won't care about what the rest of the world thinks about it, because they know they're doing the right thing. Real men are honest, respectful, and loving, but that doesn't mean they aren't a little rough around the edges. I'd be willing to bet they don't want a doormat for a wife or girlfriend -- a strong man will want a strong woman who can understand him.
There's a reason men like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne have timeless appeal with men and women alike. It's because they're real men, men who do tough work, who get sweaty and dirty, who stand up for what's right, who can be menacing and hard, but kind and loving at the same time. They aren't ashamed of being men, most importantly.
We need more men in this country. I have a good feeling you could find a lot of these men in the military, and that's probably why so many women are attracted to the man-in-uniform bit. Soldiers, firefighters, police officers -- that the uniform is sexy is not because of the clothes. It's because of what that uniform represents, and what it signifies to us.
We should be encouraging boys to be boys, not trying to feminize them (sorry, Gloria Steinem). There's a shortage of real men in this country, and I'm lucky enough to have found one of them. We need to start encouraging men to be men again, though -- otherwise, we could end up with a bunch of European girly men... like, say, in France. And that's an ugly thought.

Correction: Ultimately, he's the one who should think he's in charge.
Some men confuse being controlling as being powerful. They are usually the abusers.
Some men think we want them to be sensitive when we really want them to protect us, stand up for us, be there and be counted on to watch our backs.
We don't want a Ken doll or some metrosexual type.
A man of steel and velvet, a secure self-assured man comfortable in his own skin. who is honest and trustworthy, a "can do" man, not a man who whines about what he or everyone else can't or won't do. And definitely not a braggart. If you have to brag about being a real man or all the things you do or own that you think makes you a real man -- you aren't.

I won't spoil the whole thing, but suffice it to say that according to the theory espoused in that book, the Beta Male multiplied because the Alpha Male, he of conflicts and dominance, went off to fight wars with other Alpha Males, and the Beta Male was left behind to comfort the widows ...

Item: There are manly virtues, and a Y-chromosome bearer must have them to qualify as a man.
Item: There are also manly deficits, which come upon us all with the passing of the years, and American men, though among the best of the Western world, should learn to cope with them somewhat better than they have to date.
I blame gender-war feminism and political correctness for our problems of the first sort, and our media-powered "youth culture" for our problems of the second sort.

"Best of luck to the guys out there who still stand up for what it means to be a male, and are willing to do so even in light of all of the eunuchs out there professing that theirs is the best way."
Real men don't have the need to flaunt their masculinity. It's so simple. Real men prefer real women.
And if Cassie is one of those women who buy into the whole male "I'm a woman, and I need someone to take care of me" syndrome just dye your hair blonde and go goldigging. Surely their is some bombastic man out there who prefers such playthings.
Otherwise real women and real men stand on their own two feet but work as a team. The whole flirty, submissive role is a venus fly trap. Real men prefer a woman who can stand on her own. Real women prefer men who have a brain that works on a level beyond Neandrethal.
I know it's difficult for righties to absorb this but it IS the 21st century.

Cassy,
Great Post. Good luck with the Real Man. If it doesn't work out between you and your BF, come on our to AZ, the state is still chock full of real men. My Daughter found one, I'm sure there'd be one for you.
Real men aren't neccesarily in short supply, they're just keeping a low profile, working, taking care of families and friends etc. They exist in the big cities, but get lost in the noise and clutter. It's better off to find them in the country, fly-over country and red states.

Dirk, don't believe JFO. One of the things we learned in the CBS forged memo fiasco was that George Bush did volunteer to go to Vietnam with a unit of F102's that were deployed there. But he was told he didn't qualify at the time as they were taking more experienced pilots. Dan Rather's crooked producer Mary Mapes learned this from another National Guard pilot she interviewed, but of course did not report it.

A quick, small defense of myself:
I buy my deodorant (i.e. "product") at Bath & Body Works or at my local perfume counter, despite my Y-Chromosome objection to such places. After trying a large number of grocery-store deodorants over the years, I found myself allergic to many, many of the manly things. (Speed Stick, Old Spice, etc.)
If I'm purchasing fru-fru products, I can't help it. It's my body.
And if I wore the Speed Stick, I'd be scraching under my arms all day ... and I'd rather not be THAT much of a male stereotype.

pennywit, it's not necessarily the products you use. It's the level of importance a man assigns to that function of grooming and appearance.
There's nothing wrong with a man being clean, well groomed and dressed nicely when the occassion calls for it. It's when it is taken to an absurd level. When it becomes the whole persona of the guy, when it becomes primping, then it becomes a point of ridicule.

That doesn't matter to trolls like jfo. If you support the war in Iraq, then you must rush right down and enlist.
If you served a tour in the military and separated at some time in the past, and you support the war in Iraq, you must go and reenlist.
If you've retired from the Armed Forces, and you are under 65 years old, no matter, you must go and enlist.
If you are medically disqualified from serving in the military, you must abandon whatever you are doing in life now and find a job that in some manner supports the military effort in Iraq.
Ultimately, for the left, if you support our mission in Iraq, you cannot do so unless you are actually in the fight. Otherwise, you must STFU and you are a chicken hawk.

Sure jfo, go right ahead. That will at least give you some new material for your comedic commentary, and give us some new ad-homs from you to deconstruct and ridicule.
Nevertheless, you'd still just be yelling chicken hawk without actually coming out and saying it, because you're a chicken shit.
What I don't get jfo, is if that's what you mean, why don't you just say it? Oh, I know, 'cuz you're a chicken shit. Because you don't know who you're slinging a chicken hawk at on here. For all you know, it's an active duty guy in Iraq. So, you beat around it to give yourself maneuvering room - plausible deniability. Something to give you a fig leaf to be able to say you didn't actually call someone a chicken hawk. No, you only infer it.
