America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves…. It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. - Kurt Vonnegut

I think that this quote very properly explains why masculinity is on the decline. Sexuality has nothing to do with it, which is something that I see this video as promoting; albeit unintentionally. A man could have a penis in his mouth and still be manly, look at ancient Greece. No, this comes down to general personality traits. Our society has long accepted a plastic personality for women, now that personality is beginning to extend to men. Nobody stands their ground anymore. As a matter of fact, I would say that there are more “men” at a gay pride march than there are at a monster truck rally. We’re a nation without Quality. We’re a generation without Quality. |
