What's Wrong With America?

Contrary to the view point of the Christian fundamentalists, evolution never stops. Our culture has made many adjustments over the past couple thousand years that reflects evolutionary advancement. One of the most important developments is the advancing political and social power of women. Today, while it's still largely a man's world, men have to compete with women at every level of acheivement. It's particularly notable that women have begun to consistently win top high school academic honors, even sweeping national science competitions.
Although many younger women are still drawn by their primordial instincts to dominant aggressive men, women have become smarter about their choices because of the high proportion of physical and emotional abusiveness associated with aggressive men.
Men's image of themselves has also evolved. A manly man no longer is required to project an image of a chest pounding, tough man "who won't back down", and whose emotional repertoire is limited to angry, hungry, and horny. Real men do cry, they might eat quiche, change a diaper, and perhaps sit with the women in family gatherings and enjoy the family gossip. They can enjoy romantic movies and still be an NFL football fan.
The problem is that many men are uncomfortable with the changes. They feel like they have lost something in that they no longer dominate the limelight. They are afraid that they've lost something by giving up the intimidation factor. In the blog The Other Side of Kim du Toit, the author writes about his frustration and his heroes.

we’re sick of women treating us like children, and we’re really ####### sick of girly-men politicians who pander to women by passing an ever-increasing raft of Nanny laws and regulations (the legal equivalent of public-school Ritalin), which prevent us from hunting, racing our cars and motorcycles, smoking, flirting with women at the office, getting into fistfights over women, shooting criminals and doing all the fine things which being a man entails.


Speaking of rap music, do you want to know why more White boys buy that crap than Black boys do? You know why rape is such a problem on college campuses? Why binge drinking is a problem among college freshmen?


It’s a reaction: a reaction against being pussified. And I understand it, completely. Young males are aggressive, they do fight amongst themselves, they are destructive, and all this does happen for a purpose.


Because only the strong men propagate.


And women know it. You want to know why I know this to be true? Because powerful men still attract women. Women, even liberal women, swooned over George Bush in a naval aviator’s uniform. Donald Trump still gets access to some of the most beautiful pussy available, despite looking like a medieval gargoyle. Donald Rumsfeld, if he wanted to, could #### 90% of all women over 50 if he wanted to, and a goodly portion of younger ones too.

Men like this want to kick butt and think that is what should make the world go their way. What they miss is that men who run on aggression only are easily manipulated. Embarass their sense of dominance and challenge their pre-eminence, they react very predictably. This is how bin Ladin has been winning the so-called "war on terror". The aggressive response in Iraq has simply fallen into his hands. He now has a forum to breed hate at America and teach guerrilla warfare tactics under fire, the best possible circumstance.
And behind every aggressive man is the woman who loves him. Witness the confusion Dr. Helen has about Mad Suburban Dad, saying he sounds like a woman who hates men!
