According to this Star Tribune article, manly men are back in fashion.

Great news for us many menfolk, we are officially hip again.

Testosterone and machismo have won the day. We declared war on the feminist bitches, slapped them down, and sent them scurrying to cower in the corners. The world is ours.

Take what is ours, men. It is our birth right.

Is this chest pounding a la Tarzan,
or chest striking/beating a la mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa?

I'm into guilt this week, so I guess I'm up for the second choice...

To quote Sting,

"What good is a used up world and how can it be worth having?"

I've watched the news,
If the women want it they can have it.
Otherwise we'll have no-one else to blame or at least share the blame with.

This is news? Nobody ever could tolerate a nance where I hang out. You gotta be a patsy to go in for that sissy stuff they are pushin' on the West Coast and in them stupid fashion magazines. If yer gonna rate around here, ya gotta have a well-oiled gat tucked in yer jacket and know how to put the screws on when some dumb palooka don't come clean and hand over the mazuma. A whiff of Nevada gas oughta be good to put one of them kind on ice. Yeah. I can't stand pigeons and squealers and I can't stand men that don't act like men.

It ain't about ruling the world, it's about ruling the world's women folk so they know their rightful place.

It's about conquest and war.

It's about taking what you want, and apologizing to no one.

It's about the glory of our guy gonads.

Misanthropy.

But GUEST! It only takes one kick in the balls to show you how fragile your machismo really is. Or, as a woman I know did when rape was attempted on her, it only takes a good sharp pull to seperate you from your masculinity.

Yes, put both seats down - do you know how much bacteria sprays into the room when you flush without the lid down? Most people don't know how the lid protects against the spread of bacteria.

Oh, no! NOT the "spread of bacteria!!!" ;-)

Look, Alice, when people used backyard outhouses, you know how much bacteria was floating around in the air? Billions of the little monsters! And NO one got sick from it. No one. Bacteria won't kill you. What will kill you is lack of exercise, a lousy diet, smoking, alcoholism, bad driving habits, using too many drugs (legal or illegal), and stuff like that. If you keep a young person in a bacteria-free environment for the whole early part of his/her life and then let her out, chances are he'll get sick and die, because her immune system hasn't had any practice dealing with anything.

Aren't gender-specific possessives in the English language a totally cumbersome drag? ;-) It's so hard to say exactly what one wants to say.

Little Hawk, you must never have spent any time reading old tombstones. People; babies, small children and young mothers in particular died frequently and usually they succumbed to bacteria of one kind or another.

I agree we are oversanitizing in some situations, but the bathroom does need cleanin'. And the old outhouse may have been more sanitary, since most wood is naturally a germ killer (Google research on wood vs. plastic cutting boards), and the outhouse did not spray feces-laden water into the air around the seat.

Soap and water; wash yer hands, problem (mostly) solved.

Well, I believe in moderation in all things. I have no objection to practicing normal sanitary habits, and I do that...but I do have an objection to making a fetish out of worrying about "germs". I have noticed that people who do that are not healthier than other people...they're just more obsessive-compulsive and paranoid than other people.

Many of our modern chemical cleansers are considerably more dangerous to your health than common household bacteria are.

The modern advertising system constantly plays on people's fears to get them to buy expensive, extremely toxic stuff they don't need so they can feel "safe". That's what I'm objecting to.

I agree. Plain soap usually does for personal sanitation unless you're a surgeon. And there's no need to be able to perform surgery in your kitchen, really. I hope.

Sheesh, I didn't say anything about using harsh chemicals to make the world germ free!!!!!!! Just recommend people close the lid so you don't spray E. coli, strep and staph so much around the area. The droplets travel six to eight feet around the toilet if you flush with the lid open.

"Testosterone and machismo have won the day. We declared war on the feminist bitches, slapped them down, and sent them scurrying to cower in the corners. The world is ours."

Gosh, how very manly......Of course, what some chaps don't quite catch onto is that all the macho stuff about "boys don't cry" is what contributes to the shorter lifespan of the male of the species.

So feminism ( BTW ; been there, done that, moved on but with wisdom gained) has not just been about misandry....both genders have benefitted from looking at what those socially created straitjackets can do to us....

Yours sincerely

What exactly is this "post-feminism" you are invoking here supposed to mean?

My understanding of it was a 1980s backlash movement AGAINST FEMINISM by women who sold out.

Are we supposed to impressed that you decided to settle?

So on their honeymoon night..he takes his trousers off and throws them to her saying "Put those on". She replies "I can't wear them"! and he says "You just remember that".

A short time later she takes off her panties and throws them to him saying "Put those on"..He replies "I can't get into them"..and she says "Well You just remember that too"

About the aerosol affect:

I watched an episode of Dr. Know the other night where they showed the affect. They were astonished to find out that after testing the bathroom they actually came out with lower bacteria counts than they thought. According to CDC (Center for Disease Control for you non-yanks) the aerosol affect does put bacteria all around the bathroom and indeed reaches out into other rooms. Fortunately for us the bacteria need warm moist areas to thrive. This means that most if not nearly all dry up and die.

Funny thing was that the female bathrooms that they tested turned out to be much more contaminated than the male bathrooms. Their excuse was that it was because women took little children with them into the bathrooms more than men. How the contamination reached areas that "little hands" couldn't reach was left unexplained.
