#1 Sam: Such outward hostility on the internet is an international hate crime. The ICC recommends sensitivity training at the Patricia Ireland / Lynn Stewart Institute For the Feminization of the American Male.

#5 Nope, sorry, I had read this before, and with due respect to Mr. duToit (especially when he's holding a rifle), he's full of crap on this one. Men are not being pussified, they're being neutered, and there's a difference.

#6 "Now, men are taught that violence is bad -- that when a thief breaks into your house, or threatens you in the street, that the proper way to deal with this is to 'give him what he wants', instead of taking a horsewhip to the rascal or shooting him dead where he stands..."

So THAT's where the whole "give the Paleos a state" hoopoe munitions came from?

#7 Fred, we need a Rantburg decal we can put in our car windows, in our living room windows, and especially in our bedroom windows, that show that we are the "old-fashioned" kinda guy. I think the action end of a 10-gauge double-barrel and the words "Rantburger" across the top, and "Old Fashioned Kinda Guy" in two lines across the bottom should do it.

#8 OP, your suggested logo is an especially good idea for those who have teen age daughters.

#9 I have always made it a point to clarify to my oldest boy under what conditions it was acceptable to draw a suspension for popping a schoolmate in the mouth. For example, one of the girls in his class is disabled and uses a walker with wheels to move around. If she is made fun of or harassed, I expect my boy to draw the proverbial 5 minute major and game misconduct. He made me pretty proud by getting in a fist-fight last year with the class bully. As far as I know, I will not be encouraged to join the PTA.

#10 Superhose--Good for you! I've actually counciled my 11 year old to take the literal 5 and misconduct. (Never for hooking or tripping--lazy penalties we call those). He plays defense and when one opponent hacked my son's goalie's hand, my boy laid the punk out. Only got 2 for roughing and a pat on the back not just from me but from every parent of every kid on the team.

There are more "old-fashioned" guys (and gals) out there than in the liberals' (and Al Qaeda's) worst nightmares.

#11 (1) I'm okay with the action end of the 10-gauge, but some of us guys aren't. Guys, that is. ;-)

(2) GK, true story: as a bookwormy kid in high school, I didn't date much but was asked out to a big dance by an older guy in the band. Guy shows up, my Dad just "happens" to be cleaning his guns at the time. In the living room. Uh huh.

Oh well, I didn't really like the guy that much anyway. But I gotta tell you, it was a LONG time before I got asked out again! Word gets around in a small town ....

#12 Great article, wished I had wrote it. I'm sending that one to all my buds.

#13 Can we come up with a better word than "pussification"? It insults us real women who would also pop a punk, given sufficient provocation.

I start off - how about "feminazification"? Come on, Rantburgers - go for it!
