Facebook Heroism And The Decline Of Masculinity --Warden
One of my main problems with social media is that it tends to make me like people far less than if had I only interacted with them in meatspace. And this is because people tend to be less free with their big, dumb, annoying political opinions when they’re face to face with their audience, freeing me to pretend that most people don’t have big, dumb, annoying political opinions lurking behind their otherwise pleasant and reasonable public demeanor.
Last week was a case in point. A twenty-something adult male from my church posted an instructional video that purported to teach women how to protect themselves from rape with the following (paraphrased) commentary:This rape prevention video is 6 minutes long. I have a better idea. Why don’t we instead simply spend 3 seconds on a video that tells men not to rape? God didn’t need long instructional videos for the 10 Commandments. "Thou shall not" is pretty direct. Six women had "liked" this post by the time it came across my feed. I stared at that bit of knee-jerk progressive virtue signaling foolishness for a good minute or more before breaking a personal social media rule and writing what I hoped was a polite correction. But I couldn’t get that post out of my head because the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much there was to unpack. Just who are these men out there don’t understand that rape is wrong? Other than African and Middle Eastern Muslim immigrants, I can’t think of any. Of course rapists know that rape isn’t okay, just as thieves know that stealing isn’t okay, just as murderers know that murder isn't okay. There is literally no other serious crime in America where we take the position that the criminals just need to be “taught” that their misdeeds are wrong. And in no other case would a progressive be outraged at an instructional video that teaches people how to avoid victimization. No one angrily asserts that, instead of telling people to lock their car doors at the mall, we just need to teach people to not steal Christmas presents from other shoppers. This would be an insane position to take and everybody knows it. So, what exactly is going on here? Well, the obvious difference between rape and almost every other crime is that it’s one where men are almost always the offenders and women the victim. This distinction provides a convenient cudgel for Cultural Marxists to shame and smear men generally as violent and beastly. (By way of evidence, you will notice that the very similar crime of child rape is handled completely differently because it is often a male on male crime, which invokes homosexuality, a protected and privileged class among progressives.) But that’s not what this young fella was thinking when he made the post—that’s the evil, insidious nature of Cultural Marxism—he was not, in fact, thinking at all. Rather, he was subconsciously angling for approval by obliquely smearing other men. The implicit message of that post was, “I am against rape,” but the subtext was, “Other men are NOT against rape and I should be praised for this because I am uniquely opposed to rape in ways that other men are not. Remember, the message was, "Teach MEN not to rape." Not some men. Not rapists... MEN. Teach men not to rape. This is a social media trend that I’ve noticed among progressives. They position themselves as fighters against injustice, but only take public stands against things that earn them approval and praise. One way to really amp up your cred is to call out the group to which you belong, thereby absolving yourself of the your group's collective sin in doing so. It’s a particularly dishonest, cowardly and backstabby way to operate. Note, too, that helping women protect themselves from rape is not even a secondary concern. Rather, the very idea of it is a source of anger. Pragmatic, real-world solutions are replaced with the strange and childish fantasy that less enlightened men just need a good scolding about all their rapeyness and all will be well. Do progressives even believe this? Again, I don't think they've even considered it long enough to believe or not believe. At this point, they're just reacting to stimuli like a single cell organism reacting to a low voltage electrical shock. They've been swimming in Cultural Marxism for so long that they've lost their ability to think. The most appalling part of his post wasn’t that it was so devoid of logic and common sense; it was that a grown man sought and received praise for the almost universally agreed upon position of… being against rape. Bold stance, bro. And truly outside the box. You've got us all thinking about stuff in, like, a whole new way. This is where we are. Seeking and receiving praise for "taking a stand" against what is a universally despised crime. What does that say about our standards? I have a theory on this that as we become softer, weaker and more technologically dependent, men—who are genetically hardwired to hunters, risk takers, and physical protectors—will increasingly rely upon this kind of limp-wristed virtue signaling in absence of any sort of real masculine achievement. Heroism used to be defined by deeds. Today it is defined by words—ones everybody in your tribe agrees with, and directed at phantom menaces who cannot do you actual harm. It's safe. It's easy. And it's fake, just like everything else about the progressive left. I find it to be incredibly sad, this state we're in. And deep down, I think that progressives also know how shallow and full of bullshit they are. Ace recently had a post about the NFL that caused a bit of ruckus in the comment section. And while I loosely agree with him that watching a bunch of grown men compete from the comfort of your couch is not a truly masculine endeavor, I do think that football is an important aspect of our rapidly diminishing warrior culture and to see it violated and diminished by a bunch of bed-wetting SJWs is a net loss to the masculine spirit. Football is a fantastic game for teaching boys toughness, teamwork and discipline. The fact that it is in decline while less violent sports like soccer ascend in America is no accident. I started my 10 year old in tackle football this fall, not in spite of the football’s propensity to bang kids up, but partially because of it. And each time my wife freaks out from the stands because her boy is limping off the field, I nod my head and think, “Good.” I do not think this because I’m a sadist, but because I think that boys who learn to play through pain, to meet difficult challenges, and to get up after being knocked on their asses over and over again are more apt to become men who display genuine bravery and heroism rather than the phony take-a-stand-that-everyone-already-agrees-with Facebook kind. And God knows we need more of that.

A short video requesting me not to rape is certainly logical and persuasive. Of course, I already know that rape is wrong and I would never even consider it so I would not count it as progress.

I wonder how long of a video it would take to convince Chicago gang members not to murder each other. Remember, in order to be persuasive, you would have to start with the basics, develop your case logically, and appeal to your viewers' better nature.
Hey, maybe I could make a video about how to make videos explaining to rapists and murderers why what they do is wrong.

The false heroics of selectively denouncing (politics) the blatantly obvious ("rape bad") on social media ("y'all").
If he wrote "I totally disapprove of rape" that would be lame. Even a rapist isn't going to go around saying "rape is awesome." So instead he re-purposed what (I assume) was a helpful video about how to prevent rape as a jumping off point to talk about HIMSELF, and what a great guy he is for uniquely seeing that rape is bad. His proposal (lectures for rapists) is lame but it's the solidarity that counts with this crowd. If you attack head on with "not all guys rape" that will bring on the endless the poorly-sourced anecdotal wailings. The best way to counter this is to point out that just telling rapists not to rape is not a viable solution to a very real problem and that maybe he should watch the video and stop mansplaining.

Probably could be tackled from both sides. Women do need to know how to protect themselves. Rape has been around since the beginning of time, and will continue on.
If it had been presented by a woman, who would that have been taken?
As far as football, it's a game. It has strategy. Stats. It's a puzzle and fun for many. Not just the big fat-necked men hitting each other, and the cheerleaders. Like all sports. It helps if you've played or understand the rules in general, to get the flavor of the sport and its attraction.
Not only are you teaching your kid what you think by playing football, but also team work and playing and working with others. Team sports are something no one can get unless they do it. To be part of a team and have to BE part of the TEAM. (Something Ronaldo doesn't get and why he's hated by so many.)

I'd like to add that this also happened because of feminism.
Some (many?) of these guys were trained to think this way by women, who have been sniping at any masculine thought, expression, action throughout their childhood so that by the time they are adults they may really come to believe masculinity is "toxic".
The fact that "toxic masculinity" is a common phrase tells you 3rd wave feminists have had way too much success in ruining our culture.

If your son, Ace, is really being taught those lessons, and by that I mean you talking to him about it, and your son is thrilled to be on the team, then, yes, football teaches that.
If it teaches him that he's going to be bullied by tougher kids and the adults don't give a shit about him, well, that'll be a lesson to him as well.
Frankly, you could teach him toughness, teamwork, and discipline by working with him on projects, taking him on hikes, and modeling those behaviors for him.
Personally, my experiences with youth football were not as you dreamed. Frankly, it was terrible, and I deeply regret playing.

This is not really true. Violent rape yes, but look at how much stuff that was played for laughs in older movies would be classified as rape now. So there is an area of rape where the perpetrator may not understand that it's not okay.

I started my 10 year old in tackle football this fall, not in spite of
the football's propensity to bang kids up, but partially because of it.
And each time my wife freaks out from the stands because her boy is
limping off the field, I nod my head and think, 'Good.' I do not think
this because I'm a sadist, but because I think that boys who learn to
play through pain, to meet difficult challenges, and to get up after
being knocked on their asses over and over again are more apt to become
men who display genuine bravery and heroism rather than the phony
take-a-stand-that-everyone-already-agrees-with Facebook kind.
And God knows we need more of that.
I have a boy about this age, and I heartily approve. Sometimes if he whines over a little injury or a hard task, I'm downright brusk-"Suck it up, buttercup"-not because I don't care but because I do. You have to learn to fight through the pain to be successful and, I believe, happy in life.

Think it's more that the men who attempt to defend them are beaten senseless. It's primarily the European leaders who are doing nothing.
This gives you an idea of what's happening in some places - it's Calais, but one can imagine it's happening elsewhere based on various reports of European police advising women to stay in at night, dye their blonde hair, wear sneakers, etc.

"Men" are a dying breed. They are fast becoming women with dicks. They
don't know how to interact with each other as men. There is a buddy of
mine who I give hell publicly every chance I get, and he returns the
favor as men are wont to do. One day, he told me that others had
approached him and asked him what had happened that had caused bad blood
between us. We were both stunned that there were men who had no idea
how to be guys.

-most men are physically stronger than most women
-because of testosterone, men can, at times, be more violent than women
It is good for women to know how to defend themselves, since they are weaker. Simple as that. Every woman should think about what might happen if they are raped. Will they resist? Will they not resist? It is a very personal choice that a woman has to make.
Does that make every woman a victim? No. Teaching women to defend themselves makes them more self assured.
And does that make every man a potential rapist? No. The majority of men are decent people who like helping women and would never hurt them.
Would it be best to stop men from raping? Sure.
Is that realistic. No.
Just like we can't stop people from stealing, killing and speeding.

It's a Browning. I haven't tried it out yet, basically going to use it for going to the range at the moment (though I may get a LTC here in TX). It has a built-in holster with an easy-access side pocket but it's bigger than the normal purse I would tote around. Of course, my gun is big, so it requires a big purse.
Let me see if I can find more info.

A few years back I posted on FB the following comment after reaching my limit on all the pink paraphernalia on the uniforms: "Enough already with Komen for the Cure - we get it, 'boobs good, cancer bad.' Isn't there some limit to this shameless marketing posed as charity?"
At that moment I lost several life-long female friends who just couldn't deal with the horror of it all. While it's easy to say these are friends not worth having, the fact that a relatively non-personal comment on FB could cause such personal hurt shoved humanity, and my outlook - down a couple more notches.

I did not play football in high school. Or middle school. I quit after fifth grade. Because I thought knocking around while people cheered or booed because you wore the proper uniform was stupid.
After that I worked on driveway crews and basement crews and framing crews and painting crews and got beat up and built up about the same way. At least - that's how it seemed in boot camp.
At the end of those days - nobody cheered. Mom and Dad didn't come out to see me brush finish a slab. But I got money for it. And I think I learned more real shit on those jobs than any of those fucks learned on a ball field.

For the simple reason that such "men" can't be trusted. They fold up under stress, and turn in to back stabbers. Look, I don't expect everyone to be a football player. Most of my friends in high school weren't - but they knew I was there to back them if somebody bullied them.

It is difficult to understand that evil exists when you have protected from it your whole life. It is too shocking to accept. Easier to believe that some people just need some remedial support and education.
This is why the left has such a hard time accepting that there are people (entire countries of them) who want to kill all Westerners. Or that the nice illegal immigrant is a thief or worse.
This is another unintended consequence of the welfare state. It leads to small families, which leads to cosseted children, which leads to girly men. I am starting to believe we really do need a bloody war to drain the fisc and straighten out the next generation.

I went to college with a guy who routinely threw keg parties and would let girls who were too drunk sleep in his bed and spend the night. He and his friends undressed them while they were unconscious and took pics of them and wrote crude words and pictures on their bodies. He had an entire album of pics, including some of my friends. That album was his prize possession. He looked at it the same way. The girls deserved it bc they let themselves get too drunk.
I only found out bc one of his friends told me not to let myself get really drunk at his parties and then told me why. I nearly threw up. That sicko was dating one of my gf's. I made her tell me where the album was and I stole it at a party and destroyed it. I told her if she ever told him that I took it I'd turn it over to the cops. I should have. I don't know why I didn't. That was a moral failing on my part that I regret to this day.

album was and I stole it at a party and destroyed it. I told her if she
ever told him that I took it I'd turn it over to the cops. I should
have. I don't know why I didn't. That was a moral failing on my part
that I regret to this day.

A .38 is good for shooting balls off at close range, but not much else.
Yeah, you don't want to put money down on that bet. Only the .22 LR has killed more men than the .38 special in non-military action.
And it's accurate as all hell, too.

***
327 To get all academic 'n' shit, what we are witnessing in real-time is the death of chivalry.
Prior to the Middle Ages, such as in ancient Rome and most other civilizations and tribes, men treated women in general as shit -- the paterfamilias literally owned all female members of his clan, and could dictate their behavior as if they were his slaves. Young women were told who they were going to marry, no arguing allowed. In other societies, the rule was, "If you see an unaccompanied woman, she is fair game to rape." Females captured in war became concubines and sex slaves. Etc.
All of that was changed by the emergence of one of the most important social movements in the history of mankind, the rise of "chivalry." It started around 1200 AD as a code of honorable behavior for mounted knights fighting for Christendom, but the notion subsequently spread throughout society and widened in conceptual scope, and combined with a parallel movement known as "gallantry" to fundamentally transform the way the men are expected to act in relation to women.
to be chivalrous, you must absolutely respect and honor the virtue and sanctity of a women's body and role in society, to the point of defending her with your life against any insult or harm. You do not apologize for your superior physical prowess and strength - -instead, you use your maniless specifically to protect women.
Furthermore, under chivalric ideals, for the first time the woman was allowed the exclusive power to choose or reject any suitors or romantic partners.
We are so used to chivalrous behavior as the standard code of conduct in the modern world -- holding the door open for women, giving up you seat for hem on the train, laying your cape over a mud puddle, asking for her hand in marriage rather than demanding it, waging total war on invading rival nations and wiping them out in order to protect your women, hunting down and killing anyone who rapes a female family member, etc., that we forget that it wasn't always like this.
But thanks to feminism and the modern SJW movement, that is all going away now.

I hadn't led the guy on or even kissed him. If my GF hadn't been there, he would have raped me.
When she and her date stopped him, he sneered at me and told me I didn't know what I was missing.

I read a confession once in Glamour magazine by a guy who admitted to raping a girl. He didn't think of it that way at the time. He met her in a bar, they talked, and drank, and he offered to walk her to her hotel.
He went to bars to get laid and he never had any intention of taking her to her hotel. She kept stopping and asking if they were going the right way, and at some point he just insisted that they go up to his place so he could give her some coffee or whatever. She reluctantly went up with him because she had no idea where she was and didn't want to be ditched in the street.
He kept trying to get her clothes off and she kept trying to resist without screaming or doing anything to hack him off. Finally she stopped resisting. Just stood there straight with her face set and her eyes down while he methodically took off her clothes, put her stiff body on his couch, and fucked her unmoving body.
Then he smiled and thanked her and got into her clothes and put her in a cab. At the time, he simply figured he'd scored. Years later, he had a different view of it.

I suspect a lot of females are not getting married because there is a shortage of alpha males. We've lost men in a variety of military conflicts, and now, well, the majority of men seem to be either libtarded/gay/both. I live in the great lakes region, which is sort of "east" which means "liberal," so my sample is probably skewed.

Are you a vegetarian? The cows that get turned into your steak have to get their grass from somewhere. And if they don't control the wild horse/antelope/ buffalo/etc populations, those animals start starving to death. Much better than adopt them out or humanely euthanize them than watch them turn into living skeletons. The BLM has stocking rates for most of the western US, which dictates how many animals of each type can be supported by that section of land. They don't just go around killing the pretty ponies because they like it.

I really thought that 9/11 wd stop this de-masculinization process since the 70s in its tracks, but it was only a bump in the road. Hell, last year they had a movie in which the dinosaur-wrangler/hunter character was slammed as "too macho."
At this rate, the truly rapey-Muslim yutes will have an easy time of it with our future street cops (and females), after another 10-20 years of mau-maing and sensitivity training. Wait'll you see the nasty gay-bashing, too, as the jihad asserts itself.
Vigorous masculinity can never be eradicated, only channeled. Into productive, creative, noble pursuits, or...into plunder thuggery.

Happily, I've forgotten his name.
Sadly, that wasn't the last time I was nearly raped. At a post-advertising league softball party in ATL, I was with my team celebrating, and a good-looking guy from another agency approached me and asked me to dance. We did, and I said I needed to leave (I lived a few blocks away), and he walked me outside.
The bastard threw me in the bushes right next to the front door of the bar, and began trying to pull my clothes off. I was fighting him and crying out. People walking in the bar sort of looked at us and went on in.
Finally, a guy I worked with at my agency saw what was happening, and pulled the bastard off of me and punched him in the face.
So, I've had two near-rape experiences.
Husband and I trained our son well to recognize when a girl is teasing and when she means "NO."

Fast forward a dozen years, she graduates from the police academy. One of the first things she did was set up a meeting with the rapist to talk with him about it.
He admitted evrything, showing no remorse - almost as if it were consentual and natural.
He was 7 aware that she was now a cop, had everything wired up to document his confession, and was figuratively kicking him in his IRREDEEMABLE gonads.

That's horrible, Jane!
Your point about girls behaving like ladies is spot-on, because it has to do with sending mixed messages. That's why this "Slut Walk" nonsense is so harmful. You cannot intentionally dress like a "slut" (their term) and then get angry when men look at you as a sexual object, hi on you, or even assume that you're more likely to be DTF than the gal next to you dressed conservatively.
A funny movie that demonstrates this is "Walk of Shame". A professed good girl borrows her friend's tight neon yellow dress and ends up lost on the wrong side of town with her car (and purse, phone) towed away. A recurring joke is that everyone mistakes her for a hooker/crack whore.

"Children are not* going to perish and fall down dead from seeing male genitals, however it's akin to people having sex in public in the nude. Young children receive 'confused and 'conflicting' messages about sexuality as per such an incident. It's for making babies and there is a time and a place to express one's sexuality and this was not the time nor the place. Back to deep residential treatment vs. just incarceration hopefully. Punishment is not the answer or resolution to such issues."
In other words: Don't be so uptight! Sex is natural! It's OK to see genitals at a young age! Educational! The guy just needs some therapy and lollipops! It's just a case of inappropriate timing! Show dicks in the classroom, not the park, maybe."
Of course, the guy was ALREADY arrested for doing the same thing in 2014 and the leftist CA justice system already had him back out on the streets so he could do it again.

Just simply a good .JPG image of the agreed upon target, and your results thereon, emailed to whoever would be the host of that Sunday's thread.
My first suggestion is an easy one.
B-27 target, seven yards, fifty rounds. Any gun or caliber, but iron sights ONLY. Send in a pic of the shot-up target, and a pic of the gun.
Winner gets a year's Platinum Membership, with Ampersands.

353 Holding the door for a lady is man using his strength so others don't have to. Its just a way of making the world a better place and serving women so they won't have to do little stuff. Getting her chair for her when she sits, walking on the curb side, etc. Its a man taking responsibility and order so she doesn't need to think about any of that. It frees her to do her thing.

The mere act of opening a door =|= code of chivalry. Historical chivalry involves a supplicant position to women, swearing fealty as if to a lord, and acting for women's benefit and protection no matter what. Like I said, it treats men as utilities.

Okay, we're not shocked, but would you look at that? Hillary's assistant, tending to Hillary at one residence, has to call Hillary's husband's assistant, tending to his dick at another residence, to find out if he would be available to fill in for his wife on account of a medical emergency that has befallen her.

Powell is a fuckin phony and ingrate. He only faked being a Republican when a Republican President could help him. He is a left winger and has taken eery opportunity to prove that

Well, I don't like the word "dicking" but it certainly is a pungent one and appropriate for Bubba who is a 6 foot dick-dick in the sense of how many women he's slept with and raped and in the sense of being a complete well, dick. I'm not sure who's worse-he or Hillary

Historical chivalry involves a supplicant position to women, swearing fealty as if to a lord, and acting for women's benefit and protection no matter what. Like I said, it treats men as utilities.

But women have no personal responsibility in America. So we must brainwash the men not to rape with classes they must take yearly from age 5 till death.

I hold doors for everybody, man or woman, young, or old if they're right behind me when I open it and go through. Letting it close in their face would be rude, and I even apologize if I let go of it before I notice them.
I guess that's not exactly the same thing as opening a door for a woman and letting her go first, but I do that sometimes if we arrive at the door simultaneously. I'll do that for older people too, and others have done it for me.

My point is that I have NEVER heard someone use "dicking" for "screwing" (or any the 8,325 other known and acceptable synonyms). People say "dicking around" for "wasting time" and stuff like that. Powell is speaking in a weirdly non-American fashion, as Barky is wont to do.

>>Bill Clinton's chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, was home
working Sunday evening when Huma Abedin called with an urgent request:
Could the former president drop his upcoming meetings in Washington, and
take over for his pneumonia-felled wife on the campaign trail.
Um...Sunday night?
Didn't she have her collapse mid-morning?
Why was he not the first person called, and then on his way to see her?

There are as many ways to be...lets say....artful, in the use of profanity in the military as there are stars in the sky.
Especially if you were in a combat arms branch.
But....the use of that term seemed to occur with NCOs of a certain age - mostly 1970s era vintage - when I first came in (1985).
I haven't heard it in years, but when I read it this morning, before I knew it was Powell, I thought to myself, "Gee, it sounds like Sergeant First Class McCluskey has come back from the grave...or my nightmares....or both."

Blame Eleanor of Aquitaine. Courtly love became really popular under her watch, and during the time afterwards (Marie de France, etc.). But chivalry encompassed a lot of concepts, not only the courtly love idea, which, you are correct, placed high-ranking women on a pedestal- in an idealistic sense, not in a practical one. Common women were subjected to just as much nonsense from high-ranking assholes as they ever were. Hey, maybe Bill Clinton is a transplant from the 1300s!

Hurting men concerns me less because men can fend for themselves, although I'll help defend my fellow man whoever he is. It just doesn't drive me close to rage.
Posted by: Christopher Taylor at September 14, 2016 09:02 PM (39g3+)
-most men are physically stronger than most women
-because of testosterone, men can, at times, be more violent than women
It is good for women to know how to defend themselves, since they are weaker. Simple as that. Every woman should think about what might happen if they are raped. Will they resist? Will they not resist? It is a very personal choice that a woman has to make.
Does that make every woman a victim? No. Teaching women to defend themselves makes them more self assured.
And does that make every man a potential rapist? No. The majority of men are decent people who like helping women and would never hurt them.
Would it be best to stop men from raping? Sure.
Is that realistic. No.
Just like we can't stop people from stealing, killing and speeding.

If you're not on the "women's side" (of whatever they need you on), you don't really think rape is bad. This is where we are with "racism" as well. They're allowing themselves to polarize politics simply because somebody said "Eeny-meeny". Because you can't say "eeny meeny" without being okay with "catching a n----r by the toe", and that means that you can't say "eeny meeny" without suggesting that an entire race be subjugated by a political system designed to subjugate an entire race.
This is the short-hand polarization that they have allowed themselves. And then they want to claim that you're divisive, by being racist, by "siding" with those people who say "eeny meeny" by arguing that maybe, without intention (remember that?) "eeny meeny" is more thought of as a way to pick something without thinking, then as a racial manifesto, and should not be equated as political preference for a system that subjugates one race to another.
In short, it allows liberals to think really bad thoughts about people who simply will not fall in line with the political shibboleths that require.
A guy I know from high school, who told me he doesn't give girls a chance to say "no", was also one of the biggest drug dealers at school. He had also been on probation for years after several arrests for B&Es, and had been the juvenile facility at least once for arrests under probation.
Perhaps somebody should have told him that selling drugs was not okay, or that breaking and entering other people's property was okay. But something tells me he didn't check with adults about what was right or wrong.
