All right, this is very hard to believe … in fact, my very bosom is trembling. The intercourse between what is acceptable and what’s inappropriate has gone down on a slippery slope. I’m going to slip you something that will blow your mind … you’re going to have your socks rocked, baby.
Frank Rozanski of William T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens was teaching a lesson on social psychology and perceptions. The questions each had a non-sexual answer but …
I’m not ashamed to admit that I enjoy the hell out of Glee. Yes, it’s cheesy and corny and silly and sappy, but it’s not pretending to be anything other than an hour of campy musical television.
Which is why when I heard that Glee‘s resident choir-director-cum-rapping-whiteboy, Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison), was going to wear a gold lamé speedo for an upcoming episode (almost certainly for the Rocky Horror Picture Show tribute), I thought, “That sounds hilariously cheese-tastic” rather than “That sounds hot.” I assume …
Masculinity started its downward spiral sometime around when that harlot and presumed feminist, Eve, convinced poor old gullible Adam to eat the apple. I mean, after Michael kicked them out of Eden, it was all sharing feelings and antiquing and man purses.
But even though masculinity has always been on the decline, its most feared opponent — skinny jeans — has sent manhood into an all-out death spiral.
So says Jane Gilvary of The Bulletin: Philadelphia’s Family Newspaper.
Jane begins her article with the following strange and more-than-slightly-homophobic diatribe:
Despite what feminists might argue, real men don’t wear skinny jeans. Real men also don’t wear V-neck tees, or accessorized scarves, and they avoid purple and pink like the plague. The mere idea of a pedicure or waxing makes a real man nauseous. If a woman hangs out with this kind of girly-man routinely, it’s only because she wants to share his wardrobe and his non-fat caramel macchiato. A woman can’t imagine a man reloading his double barrel shotgun or chopping wood when he’s donned in Donna Karan and drinking an Appletini. Men were meant to wear rugged Wranglers, leather jackets and boots, like they belong in a James Dean movie and not an episode of “Will & Grace.”
We feminists just love ruining things for those cross-stitching, pie-baking “real women” who want their men sweaty, hairy and gassy. Need I remind Jane that many of the men Grace actually dated were not scarf-wearing, latte-sipping “quasi-queers,” but the very manly-men that she describes? The point of Will and Grace was that Will and Jack were actually gay — not her metrosexual boyfriends.
I am so endlessly sick of the “decline of masculinity” argument. Masculinity will be on the decline when men, on average, make less money than women. Masculinity will be on the decline when “paternity leave” isn’t considered silly. Masculinity will be on the decline when the phrase “You throw/hit/drive like a girl” is no longer an insult. Masculinity will be on the decline when the United States has had 45 female Presidents. And even if masculinity is declining — and it’s not — studies prove that even the very metrosexuals that Jane fears get chosen for jobs over female candidates.
The Iranian women’s rugby team played in Europe for the first time this week. Taking to the field in tight-fitting headscarves and full tracksuits to protect their modesty, they were initially defeated 10-0 by host nation Italy. But the players bounced back in their subsequent games, eventually defeating the Valsugana team with a convincing 10-3 victory.
The players played wearing the maghnaeh, a veil that fully covers the head, shoulder and neck, along with a black and red tracksuit top and bottoms covering their arms and legs. Iranian team coach Fatme Molai, who has been in the job for the past four years, said of the attire:
‘Wearing a veil does not change our method of play – clothes are something you wear and don’t influence what you know how to do… The whole team has learnt how to keep the veil in place so that it doesn’t interfere with play and I think we have shown that even a physical game like …
