Under pain of being labelled as shallow ...

As we've heard of late (rather endlessly, in fact), Republican males seem to be struggling with issues of manhood and masculinity - that would be their own manhood of course, as Democratic/liberal males don't seem have the same problem - but I digress.

I would advise such GOP males to watch recent videos of Ukrainian soldiers liberating their countrymen - and take a lesson from all of those gorgeous, be-still-my-heart men who have women swooning the world over.

There's just something so sexually appealing about a man who stands up and fights for democracy, as opposed to a man who kneels down to kiss an orange ass.

There's something truly stimulating about a man who says fuck you to sniveling sycophants, and is willing to risk his own life in order to say it to their faces.

There's something downright erotic about men who are ready to die protecting their country's women, in stark contrast to "men" who are happy to offer up the rights of their countrywomen as a sacrifice in exchange for political power.

The Republican "men" who are currently (and constantly) whining about being emasculated by strong women, might do well to consider that strong women are drawn to strong men - which means that the vast majority of Republican men are destined to sleep alone pretty much for the rest of their lives.

That is why they are conservative men. That's why the worship men like Trump and Putin. Strongman idolization because they are far from that. They are some of the biggest crybaby bitches I've ever encountered. They are threatened by me for just being transgender. Like I've gotten many death stares and idol threats for just walking from and to my car since I got a bumper sticker with Trans Lives Matter on it.

Like if you're threatened by me, you're a pansy. End of story. They are lil boys who never grew up. Think of the he man women haters club from the Little Rascals are something of the sort.

Also they have very low cognitive function as well. No room for acceptance or open minded. Just enough to breath and tie their own shoes mostly.

"the vast majority of Republican men are destined to sleep alone pretty much for the rest of their lives." Unfortunately, for every stupid man there seems to be a stupid woman.

Intelligence in a man is hot. There are smart Ukrainian women fighting for freedom too, of course. May they all survive and conquer.

That they sleep alone! Overpopulation is a big problem and those who should sleep alone are doing just that in many cases. Not everyone needs to breed. So what if they aren't happy campers? I would wager a guess that 80% of the world population of humans aren't happy so...

Let them eat cake.

Justice matters.

He’s enough to make me swear off men altogether.I think it’s very sexy when a man uses his strength to protect or defend someone weaker. I think it’s very unsexy to hear man complain and whine. The main problem with these GOP man who is is cowardice. And they are too cowardly to admit it

These Republicans love to talk about how liberals emasculate men. They like to act like they are really tough, a real man's man! They would be the first ones to run, as fast as Josh Hawley, in the opposite direction if they were ever asked to fight against anyone who invaded our country! They like to mistaken their bullying, boorish, thuggish, controlling ways as masculinity.....they will never realize that that is TOXIC masculinity

14. A toast to powerful women

Sep 2022

As a male veteran of the Air Force, I have great respect and admiration for a woman who becomes a top notch fighter pilot or astronaut. I am happy to have a world renowned and published female cardiologist who took part in saving my life three years ago when I had open heart surgery in New York Presbyterian Hospital. I worked for and along side of brilliant women engineers and scientists at Bell Laboratories. One of the most recent women I worked for was an expert and mentor to me in learning to program Windows applications. I separated and divorced a conservative woman (in 1984), who moved to Arizona and became a tRump supporter.
I dated and became friends with liberal women because I found them more interesting and easier to get along with. (No game playing). I remarried a to a liberal woman who was (she's retired) a manager of legal research for a prominent New York law firm.
We've had 31 happy years of marriage as of Sept 28.

I am not emasculated from women who can do things better than I can.

Unfortunately, it seems to me that most of the world problems are from men metaphorically comparing penis lengths. Kim Jung-un shooting off rockets to nowhere to show his power. There is no way he could win a nuclear war. Putin destroying a country and it's families just because the vast territory of Russia is not enough for him.

I wish the trumpsters would finally see that their orange hero has a fragile ego and cries fowl every time he loses even a lost emmy. I wish they could see the danger of a president who fires anyone who disagrees with him.

Our current president chose a female running mate who strongly challenged him during the presidential debates. He knows that he alone can not do it all.

Finally, a toast to you, NanceGreggs, who's wonderful, well written essays I have enjoyed from as long ago as the Bush era.

I was "Namvet73" then.

Ukraine and put their money where their big mouths are. Of course they don't want to fight a real war, they just want to intimidate and bully people here at home. They are just big mouth bullies.
