The other
day, I was talking to my 10 year old progeny. In
response to some silly piece of tripe on the TV, he
was expounding his understanding of the action. He
was saying, something about and I quote, "how
the male character had a right to be hurt and upset,
due to all of the work that he had put into
developing his relationship with the female
character, and she was tossing it all out on a
whim."
It kind
of pissed me off, Neanderthal that I am, because I'm
watching my male child learning all of this sensitive
bulltihs, and developing a meaningful, and caring
bond with the tortured little wimp on the TV show,
but I promised his mama, that I would not bully him
or kick his ass for being soft.
Suddenly
I realized that this is how it all will end.
Eventually all of the remaining dinosaurs will die
out, and the womanfolk will have shaped the
kind of world that they say they want. A
world, filled with men who will give a damn. Dudes
with feelings, who are able to truly see past skin
color, religion, sexual orientation, and gender. Men
who will cry, and care. They will share their
emotional state, and admit when they are lost. No
more pillaging, or non fashion related war. Rappers will rap about plant life, and biology,
instead of marijuana and sex. Rock and roll lyrics
will contain religious significance, instead of
demonic backwards masking, and there is nothing that
me or any other old school player of my generation
can do to stop it.
Guys,
we should have never stopped clubbing them.
