Men and Boys Are Fighting Back
'Guilty until proven innocent:' the left needs to readdress how it regards male sexuality.
The fingers are being pointed. Democrats are going to spend weeks and months blaming Joe Biden. James Carville, whom I love and respect, swore up and down that Kamala would win. Now, he is telling in his “expert” opinion her failure to win came down to that one moment on “The View” when she failed to answer what she would have done differently than Joe Biden.
Carville’s belief that a better answer could have swayed millions of voters across the nation to vote for the vice president will be added to a handful of other not-completely-wrong but over-weighted reasons why the country is staring down a Trump full-on, no-holds-barred electoral majority.
“If Kamala had just told people how she would have been different, we would have won. Did everyone get that? Jot it down in your notebooks. Remember it for 2028, and we will take back the White House and the rest of the government.”
Let me tell you, friends and dear readers, this is what we call on the sandlot where we used to obsessively play home run derby, “a bunch of horseshit.” No lessons will be learned from this so-called lesson. We won’t become any the wiser because we will continue to focus on all the wrong things, and in the words and actions of the Black Widow spider, continue to feast on our own (this phenomenon in nature, by the way, does not happen in nature but is more common among spiders in captivity).
I will offer you what I am more than certain is the root cause of death for the Democratic Party this election. It is not going to be pretty, and coffee shop liberals/progressives will “eat me” in the way the spider above does her mates. They will thrust my opinion and my lifelong observations aside, even though they are based on a keen awareness of what makes humans tick.
What went wrong is what continues to go wrong
Climb aboard my time machine, folks. Please keep your hands and feet in the car, and do not chew gum.
We are going back to articles I wrote about Kamala Harris since 2021. In most of them, I was critical of the vice president. My feelings have changed, and I think she would have made a great president — this is for a separate article. In most of my pieces about the VP, I laid out as best I could without delving into dissertation-level details why I felt she was not the best vice president to have if — and when — Biden stepped aside.
Folks, the reaction I received from so-called liberals, and especially politically correct women, was that I was the enemy. I was told by not just one but at least a dozen or so commenters, including some men, that I was as bad as the Foxified MAGidiots. They claimed that I had bought their propaganda, and now I, too, was the enemy. More than once, I was called a misogynist. You can guess how I reacted to that, right? My biggest complaint then and now, whom I blame for this electoral bloodbath, is that they will not let constructive criticism be considered if it does not align with their left-wing dogma and groupthink.
As I argued then, and I maintain now, I wasn’t the enemy. I was following the ethos of James Carville, who rightly said that if we are not doing everything we can to win, they will crush us. Okay, that’s enough for now. Let’s return to the present, and let me tell you why we lost and will continue to lose unless we wake the f*** up and pull our heads out of our asses.
Super Bad
Jonah Hill is a very talented actor. He is the one in the middle of the three pictured above. I find him hysterical. As success came to him and his popularity grew, Jonah lost a lot of weight and became too serious. He is now extremely PC, and I am sure even a little embarrassed of his earlier roles. Here is the description for the 2007 hit movie.
Two inseparable best friends navigate the last weeks of high school and are invited to a gigantic house party. Together with their nerdy friend, they spend a long day trying to score enough alcohol to supply the party and inebriate two girls in order to kick-start their sex lives before they go off to college. Their quest is complicated after one of them falls in with two inept cops who are determined to show him a good time (Super Bad).
When I woke on November 6th, I watched this movie because I needed to laugh and escape reality. I still haven’t read any newspapers and refuse to look at news feeds on my computer. Everything I have written since then is my reaction, based on maybe something I overheard on my internet, Austrian radio. As I sat there, dazed, and drank my coffee on November 6th, I laughed my ass off at the adventures of the movie’s heroes. I also realized that so little in the film would be considered funny by 100 percent of the women who voted for Kamala Harris, and it probably wouldn’t be funny to most of the women who voted for Trump.
To most men, except the ones who have drunk the PC Kool-Aid, and especially men between the ages of 18 and 35 who almost exclusively voted for Trump (and listen to Joe Rogan), the movie is a laugh riot. The heroes are obsessed with getting laid. All they talk about, and often in very crude terms, is getting “p****, or “vajjj,” as they call it. In one scene, Hill dances with a drunk girl who happens to be having her period and so gets blood on his leg. Yes, it sounds terrible, and it is, but the reactions of the actors in the movie send men and boys into hysterics.
As I was chuckling away and beginning to forget that Kamala Harris had lost, my wife came over to see what was so funny. She raised her eyebrows at the “funny moment” and walked away. Here’s the thing: I know most of the humor in the movie is juvenile as hell and quite dismissive of women, but to pretend that men and boys don’t talk the way these actors do in the movie, to pretend that men for a good part of their lives aren’t obsessed with getting laid is to deny nature.
Society has done a great job of getting men to respect the rights of women to say no when it comes to sex. Young men between 18 and 35 are so much more aware of these rights than my generation, but we are also part of this movement. There is still a lot of work to do, but look at what has happened. Women are losing rights they formerly had over their bodies because Donald Trump and his MAGidiots keep passing legislation that takes us back to those times when women had no say over their bodies.
The cohort of 18 to 35-year-olds, even though many of them date in ways that are much more respectful to women and respect the right of women to say no (which doesn’t mean that men in the past didn’t not respect the right to say no), also voted for a man who made it so the right to have an abortion was repealed. Why? Because this cohort feels emasculated. They think they are being blamed for the nation’s woes.
Yes, we know it is true that they are a spoiled cohort. Men, and especially white men, have run the show for centuries, and now that others in society want an equal voice, they are whining like little spoiled brats. They are fighting back. They are saying, “There is nothing wrong if I have an erection or think sexual thoughts about 90 percent of the women I see each day.”
Imagine being an 18-year-old who gets sexually turned on when the wind blows, and everywhere you look, you are being told that “your desires” are out of control and are “victimizing” women. Young men, as I was told at a wedding last year when we spoke about why they would vote for Trump, feel like every thought they have about sex and wanting to “be with women” is dirty, but then see how young women are liberated and free to be sexual beings.
“Bro, these girls are sending nude pics and asking for butt sex, and when we respond, they tell us we are victimizing them.”
There are thousands of videos on YouTube in which young women go to gyms wearing clothing that, for any woman over 50, would be regarded as “ a little something for a sexy weekend.” When anyone reacts to the so-called “sports outfits,” the young women go onto Instagram and TikTok and call out the men for being perverts. In many of the videos, which young women also make, they yell at men for “leering” and paying too much attention to their outfits.
I go to the gym often. Some young women in Portugal wear form-fitting outfits, but nothing like the one in the image below. If one of the men there starts leering, not because he is a pervert or a rapist but because his natural hormonal reactions so distract them that he can take his eyes off her, is he suddenly a bad person?
Should this be the response of men?
Although I will be accused of such, I am not defending these men. No one should make others feel uncomfortable over something they are wearing, of course, but what the politically correct on the far left are forgetting is that sexuality is not something that can be shooed away because the internal reactions of a person’s sexual desires are being expressed by too-long-a-look at what the person in question perceives as a very attractive female.
The constant pressure that male sexuality is somehow wrong and inherently programmed to offend women, whether the boys and men want to or not, is a call to action that has gone too far. How do I know it has gone too far? Because I am a man and so privy to men’s frustration in society. Many women in society have been hurt physically and mentally because of sick, cowardly men abusing their physical or roles granted to them because of their gender, but it doesn’t mean that all men are guilty.
The presumption that all men are guilty until proven innocent is not just pushing away boys and men, who otherwise might happily be allies; it is creating a permanent chasm between the genders that could have been eliminated had the extremes of the “me too” movement been avoided. All men are not guilty. As a rational man, and middle-aged, I look back on the behavior I exhibited in my past when dating or “trying to hook up,” and I realize that today it would be considered wrong. I accept that. The old-fashioned notion that “She is playing hard to get” is now something many men recognize as a woman’s demonstration that she does not want (is not interested).
Nonetheless, the rhetoric, which only seems to be intensifying, is that a sexually aroused/interested young man is a serial rapist in the making. This is why this cohort has gone so far and fast to support Trump. This is why the humor in movies like Super Bad, which are generally humorous for many men, is regarded almost as the epitome of a “terrorist” training camp by the far left. Young men, feeling always beaten down and pressed on by the rhetoric from the politically correct, watch such movies and videos from gyms and find comfort in the comments. No one wants to be constantly told they are bad.
Yes, I know that the issue here is that men have traditionally used their sexual interest in women to oppress them in society, but if we want to re-enlist this massive pro-Trump cohort to fight for our side, then we are going to have to reconsider how we can accept male sexuality without throwing a blanket over it stating its all potentially life-threatening women.
I am sharing the message, folks. I am not saying I agree with these boys and men. I am just telling you what I am hearing. I consider myself an evolved person. I have never oppressed a woman at work or in society because I found her “too pretty” or maybe “she wasn’t interested in me.” Too much of my life was shaped by strong, loving women for me to have done so.
Some men use their gender power to oppress women. I will tell you, though, that I don’t think it is the majority, and yet the messaging from the far left is that we are all inherently guilty. This has to stop now if we ever want to get the tens of millions of Joe Rogan and Super Bad fans back onto our team.
Men fear the power of women's sexuality. Fear breeds anger. Anger breeds violence of thought and action.
You write an excellent piece. Now we need exercises to foster new behaviour.
