[Washington Examiner] Sean Penn believes American men are suffering from "cowardly genes" that have stripped away their masculinity.
In a series of recent interviews, the 61-year-old, two-time Academy Award-winner criticized American culture, saying men are being feminized by it, "surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt."
"I am in the club that believes that men in American culture have become wildly feminized," Penn said while speaking to i News.
"I don’t think that being a brute or having insensitivity or disrespect for women [has] anything to do with masculinity, or ever did," he said. "But I don’t think that [in order] to be fair to women, we should become them."
The Mystic River actor was asked for clarification regarding his comments in a later interview, in which he said American men seem to find it fashionable and empowering to embrace traditionally feminine attributes.
"I think that men have, in my view, become quite feminized," he said. "I have these very strong women in my life who do not take masculinity as a sign of oppression toward them. There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt."
Penn has a history of criticizing contemporary culture. In July, he called the idea of cancel culture "ludicrous."
"When we're destroying careers like that, what are we really achieving?" Penn asked. "Or you look at politicians — I give a big nod to anyone that’s willing to enter the public arena who is doing so because they give a damn."

He may be more correct than he actually realizes. Yes, "suffering" from something and it may very well be genetic, or a hormonal altering substance.
Species that alternate between parthenogenesis and bisexual reproduction (heterogenetic species) often do so in response to changes in population density, food availability, or other environmental conditions.
.....or modern medicine, chemistry and politics. Let the gender insanity and Mengelian human experiments continue.

Feminization of boys starts in the public school. Female teachers prefer to teach to females. Strong willed boys are medicated. Average boys are browbeaten into submission.

Men are considered criminals by default in today's society. Young boys, seeing no profit to be gained in becoming a man, will seek to become something else.

Goes way beyond the public schools. Private Christian schoolteachers also promote pussification.
Our entire Hollywood-Woke-PravdaMedia garbage culture treats robust masculinity as either a relic of an earlier, primitive era or else a sinister threat to all that's good and righteous.
And now even our philo-Alphabet People military is in on the action. The only exception left is the rapper retards' feral yout shit-culture.

I remember CBS news stories in the 70's about angry women calling men 'male chauvinistic pigs'... another but older cause of today's wussification.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Mania-fantasies of the European "greens" on the topic of reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by reducing consumption.
GREEN EUROPEAN FUTURE
On the topic of the green transition, what awaits those who like to go to rallies and wave flags there: "So, every European who respects the so-called" green agenda "by 2050 must learn to emit no more than 2.9 tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere per year (such a norm To do this, he will have to comply with strict rules.
IN THE FIELD OF NUTRITION AND HYGIENE:
- take a shower no more than 3 times a week, the duration of each of these procedures should not exceed 8 minutes;
- run the washing machine no more than 2 times a week and no more than 1 hour;
- eat chicken meat 2 times a week, 100 grams, which is 10.4 kg per year;
- reduce cheese consumption - no more than 1 time per week, and only 25 grams (1 .3 kg per year);
- but coffee will have to be abandoned completely and forever.
IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT:
- classes on the treadmill in the gym are allowed no more than 3 times a week for 30 minutes each;
- watching TV or using the Internet - 2 hours a day;
- computer/video games will be prohibited. According to various sources, one PC emits 452 kg of CO₂ every year when playing high-intensity rpg shooters and other tank games. Using the PS4 Pro console does not fundamentally solve the problem, because in this case 163 kg of carbon dioxide is released (by one user, of course).
NEW CLOTHES:
- during the year, everyone is allowed to purchase 2 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts.
TRAVELS:
- no more than 1 air flight per year in economy class;
- the total distance traveled per year on electric transport - no more than 5,000 km.
The Treeprint team also advises humanity to stop eating red meat (lamb, beef and pork) altogether. Switching from meat to plant-based diets will have a beneficial effect on the atmosphere: for example, eating a vegetarian bolognese instead of steak fries (beef and potatoes) will lead to a 94% reduction in emissions. And white tea is 87% better for the environment than latte. You will also have to give up beer and stronger drinks."
[Breitbart] Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer’s latest investigative exposé, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, reveals how 23 former U.S. senators and congressman have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies after leaving office.
Many lawmakers cash in after leaving office by becoming lobbyists for corporations and other special interests. But one would hope that they would not become advocates for America’s primary economic and political adversary — communist China — by lobbying for outcomes that run counter to the United States’ long-term interests.
However, Schweizer’s book reveals that many former congressional leaders, committee chairman, and rank-and-file members are lobbying for Chinese intelligence and military-linked companies.
The following 23 former members of Congress — the majority of whom are Republicans — have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies.

Dunno if I can read this book. I always just assume it's worse than I could possibly imagine. Then I see crap like this and I know. Yes, it is far beyond my wildest imagination. I get depressed just thinking about it.

Imagine the fallout if these people pulled this crap at the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, or even now with Russia. I understand how the old Soviet leaders like Khrushchev and Brezhnev were cold hearted murdering bastards, thugs and evil dictators. They were openly hostile toward democracy and the way of life we enjoy which at least strives for liberty and justice. Putin is certainly carrying on in that tradition.
What I don't understand is how Xi Jinping is any better.
But then, of course I do understand. Xi Jinping has money.

It’s ok. Peace won’t come through the Palestinians, either. Not if they want to survive the year.
PM Naftali Bennett opposes the two-state solution which would require the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Speaking during the weekly meeting of the PA cabinet in Ramallah, he criticized Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for opposing the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Bennett’s remarks were made during an interview last Friday with The Jerusalem Post.
The PA leadership condemned Bennett’s remarks, saying they exposed his "extremist and anti-peace ideology."
Shtayyeh’s
...that’s Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh to you, Bub...
statements on Monday came four weeks after the last meeting between PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Defense Minister Benny Gantz in Rosh Ha’ayin.
Hussein al-Sheikh, a senior Palestinian official who attended the talks, said the meeting "dealt with the importance of creating a horizon that leads to a political solution in accordance with international resolutions."
Last week, Sheikh made a similar statement after meeting in Jerusalem with Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
"I made it clear to Minister Lapid that it is important to have a political horizon between us and the Israelis," he told Walla news site.
Does that mean anything, or did he just throw some words together?
But Shtayyeh, who is not involved in the direct contacts with Israeli officials, insisted that there is no partner for peace on the Israeli side.
"The statements of the prime minister of the occupation government regarding the rejection of the establishment of the Palestinian state are rejected, and they encourage violence," he said.
Bennett’s statements demonstrate to the world "the extent of extremism and the occupation government’s hostile positions toward peace and political negotiations," Shtayyeh said.
"These statements and positions, as well as the occupation’s measures on the ground, prove that there is no partner on the Israeli side for making peace," he added. "The Bennett government is working systematically to destroy the possibility of establishing the state of Palestine."
Shtayyeh called on the US and European Union countries to intervene urgently to stop Israel from carrying out its plans to "devour more lands of the occupied city of Jerusalem and cut off the geographical continuity between the northern and southern West Bank."
Settlement construction was expanding in Ma’aleh Adumim, on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem, and the area known as E1 to separate the northern and southern parts of the West Bank, he said.
E1, short for East 1, is an area of 12,000 dunams located between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim.
Palestinians say Israel's plan to build new housing units in the area would separate the northern and southern West Bank from east Jerusalem. Construction in the area would prevent contiguity between the northern and southern parts of the West Bank, making it impossible to establish a Palestinian state in the future, they say.

^ Once they were down, you could never let them back up without serious problems. Imagine California deciding to become a vassal state of China. Let's put aside for a moment, the entire point of this country is we are all supposed to live together whether we agree or not. We can't toss that out just because the left has decided to abandon it.
