The Warrior Lives! (...just not in France)

Posted By Blackfive

Heh.  France declares the macho man dead...yeah, right, like when I think of what makes a man (what would make my grandfather proud?), I think of what some French guy dreams up...sure.

"The masculine ideal is being completely modified. All the traditional male values of authority, infallibility, virility and strength are being completely overturned," said Pierre Francois Le Louet, the agency's managing director...

Maybe the masculine ideal is modified in France...but here?  Of. course. not.

Now, I've written about the Warrior Caste and why I only hang with sheepdogs.  And I agree mostly with Kim du Toit's essay about the Pussification of the Western Male.

However, I have no fear about the end of the masculine male in America.  Pierre Legrand at the Pink Flamingo Bar & Grill demonstrates why...

[Thanks to Pierre for sending the story of a laughable attempt by the French to change everyone's perspective of them.]

Disclaimer:  Um, yeah, I haven't been known to be, um, "exactly supportive" of France...
