Jesus Walked on Water, But Chuck Norris Swam Through Land

I alluded in my earlier post that manliness is not a desirable trait anymore. It's true...so true, in fact, that this book actually mocks manliness, and was written by a man! How many copies of this book were bought by wives and girlfriends, subconsciously hoping that a man would recognize his own activities in the pages of the book and subsist from those activities out of shame or embarassment?

It is a folly to dream that genders should be equal. Clearly, I have facial hair, and my wife does not. No amount of "women's lib" will ever change that. Also, my wife is capable of rational thought during a football game, I am not. My daughter reaches for her mother when injured, she ignores me. Men and women are different, and they ALWAYS WILL BE. Women's Suffrage aside, the desire of men and women for gender to be a non-issue are wasted effort.

As we learn more about the human brain, we realize that the actual neural activities of the brain are different based on the hormones supplied to that brain. Simply put: women and men have different brains structures. Simpler put: women and men think differently.

Ever hear someone say "a woman is too weak to be President."? This is (by and large) not an allusion to women having (by and large) a smaller bone structure and lower average weight than men. This is an allusion to the fact that by complex hormone interactions and poorly-understood brain activities, the female mind is capable (by and large) of more compassion and less likely to engage in physical violence than a male mind.
Further, though women are smart enough and physically capable of playing football, the reason it is not a popular female sport is because the female body is simply (by and large) not the equal to the male, and when the intensity of sport is proportional to the athleticism of the participants, men will win every time. This, however, doesn't make "powderpuff football" a socially acceptable term, and enforces bad gender stereotypes.

Anyway, the point is, men should grow their beards, wrestle their kids, and be manly. It's what we were meant to do! Women who dress us in skinny jeans and scarves and expect us to appreciate post-modern art are not accepting us for what we really are. Similarly, women who express disappointment in the male for "not having feeeeeeeeeeelings, or "not being coooooomforting" need to accept that those are things you pick up the phone and call your mother or girlfriends for. We are perfectly capable of listening to you, and perfectly capable of hugging and loving you with every fiber of our male being, but is it really so hard to accept that males are simply mentally different than you and emotionally incapable of really caring how so-and-so's offhand remarks made you feel?

Could it be that long ago, when males were roaming the grasslands and slaying land-sloths, that the compassionate males who felt bad about killing game starved and the compassion was slowly but surely bred out of males? Meanwhile, the females never saw the game animals dying, they simply saw the male bring home slabs of meat which they could feed to their children, which strengthened their mother-child bond. Females never needed to lose compassion, in fact, staying home from the hunt, to gather nuts and berries and staple crops in groups that communicated with complexity would actually strengthen their compassion and desire to discuss their feelings. Males spent their days in silence or near-silence, stalking game or chasing it, females spent their days in groups working together and communicating.
So why do we laugh at women on their cell phones all the time? Their just obeying their instincts.

I know I am going back to paleobiology for a lot of my arguments, but when we accept that we are genetically identical to the humans that walked the plains over 15,000 years ago, it can be a very humbling experience. The great thinkers, Aristotle, Da Vinci, Thomas Paine, all of them, they are in effect absolutely no smarter than humans who stabbed woolly mammoths with spears.

The only difference is that spears are way more manly than pens.
