For-profit companies such as Hobby Lobby cover their employees for 16 of the FDA's 20 approved contraceptions, yet their refusal to provide the morning-after pill has become the animus which fuels liberal scorn. Apparently, limitations on publicly paid contraceptives has now become the new face of liberal politicking, thereby instigating a war on all women... an obvious slap to all women who would expect their taxpayer friends to pay for baby-killing contraception.
I'm sorry but politics has hit an all-time low. This constitutes a "war on women?" For real?
Well, if we're speaking seriously, then I want to levy my own war. This war is against male politicians. Dudes, where are your BEARDS?! Reds and blues continue to lose favor in the eyes of their constituents for being weasly, weak-kneed, out-of-touch, elitist bums (no offense, bums). Gents, perception is reality. Your constituents think these things because you guys look like lifeless, asexual, storeroom mannequins. It's time to buck the trend, and win the war... the war against bearded men!
Attention all dude politicians, beards look manly. Even bad ones (enter Mark Wahlberg). During your 6-week vacation from the Hill, please give the razors a break. In fact, while you're at it, partake in some other manly ventures. Hammer some nails, bench press a lot of iron, start a campfire, break up a bar fight, off road in an old Jeep. Given the increasing desperation Americans' carry for strong governmental leaders, please consider looking like an Alpha male. Grow a beard. It's what tough men do.
Women, forgive this sexist post. If you're offended then please hang up the pantsuit... I'm clearly waging war on you. #Beards4Politics
I feel like I want to clarify what this blog post is saying for my good and maybe platoandpopculture can respond. This does not put down women or put men on a pedestal. Rather, I am pretty sure that platoandpopculture is calling men to be true men. And, the author hopes that women do not have this feeling that there is a war against them. They, in fact, are very different than men. Not better, not worse. Just different. Both sides have unique qualities to offer. Both sides need to just be their true selves. The media is trying to sway this argument that women always get the short end of the deal because men are so oppressive. This blog has many metaphors and references that could be confusing. If I am completely right or wrong, that is how I perceived this article.
ReplyDeleteMP, you are absolutely correct in your interpretation. Men and women each contribute essential traits to the betterment of society's many institutions. Regarding men's current contribution to American culture, the weakening of the masculine spirit has proven detrimental to the nuclear family, the school, the church, and government. America needs men who are committed to morality, ethics, and hard work. These virtues protect the integrity of our nation's most sacred institutions, while also inspiring trustworthiness, dependability, and industry in others. Certainly, a beard does not singularly imbue these characteristics. That's just satire. The beard does, however, represent an essence of rugged, roll-up-your-sleeves, ole' school toughness that America desperately needs.
DeleteAmen!!! Agreed-- not an attack on women but rather, a call for action in men!
