The Seventies: The decade when men stopped being men ?

I noticed a change when I came back from overseas in 1990; I don't know what you guys did while I was gone; but, it wasn't right.

 

Whatever it was, it wasn't my fault. I was doing my part to maintain the manly man's dominence in the world. I had just got home after changing a flat on my jeep after the returning the girlfriend who just turned down my offer of becoming #3 fiancee (not at the same time) back to her apartment. Later, I was parked on crapper reading the latest copy of Playboy after an all-weekend couchon delait. I was reading an article that talked about something called "PC". The entire article was talking about this new idea of politcal correctness that was sweeping the country. It didn't make any sense with the bodacious headache and hangover I had, so I flipped over to the pictorials and all was well in the world....

 

Two things alarm me about that passage:
1. A jeep ...really?
2. Playboy has articles?

 

Yes, I had a jeep, and yes, Playboy has articles. They are called the Playmates Stat Sheet Mr. Funnyman....

 

Is that the stuff on the back of the centerfold with all the scibbly lines next to the scotch ad?

 

Yes, that's it. So Marines CAN read.

 

I recognized that it was writing; not what was written

 

That's quite alright. Point and shoot is ok too.

 

I always remember when political correctness came into my live. English 101 at UNM back in the fall of 1999.

My female professor scolded me for using the term "mankind" in my essay instead of the term "humankind".

I told her, "No problem babe, I'll change it"!

 

Its the stuff in between the pictures. You know, that boring wordy stuff that distracts from the now and the picture.....

 

I've missed you guys...........you do make me laugh!!

 

Welcome back toots!!!!

 

Take heart. I am one of many on a personal crusade to be as politically incorrect as possible.

I openly laugh at people who have 'studied' feminism, much less those that have a 'degree' in this waste of space for a subject. I have far more respect for Theologians, even though I personally feel they are putting their mental effort into a subject that any intelligent humanist would laugh himself sick at.

Lawyers are social parasites, Doctors are more concerned with social status than with healing the sick, and show me even ONE economist that predicted the GEC!

All of these 'professions' are full of self indulgent people that wouldn't work in an iron lung.

Nuff said. No apologies to those offended!

 

You and me both.
I remember in my third year at uni, we were told to look at a list of recent dissertation titles to try and get inspiration; I'll always the remember the one called Flying the Red Flag; representations of Menstruation in history.
I'll bet that was a barrel of laughs from start to finish....

 

Ha! That reminds me of an article we had to read and discuss once on College English. It was on Breastfeeding and how it is tied to the female climax. I was the only male in the class go figure. Talk about feeling uncomfortable during discussion time!
