Fox's Hume: Christie Under Attack Because He's "Old-Fashioned, Masculine, Muscular Guy"

[Mikael Blowpiff]

Christie got titties tho...


Anyways what's with all these dweebs and nerds bemoaning the downfall of traditional masculinity? I see this all the time on the Internet. There are mad bronies all over the innanets playin with My Little Pony toys and brushing fake pony hair and shyt while talking about how this generation and the ones to come after it are feminized fukkboy fakkits because they wear snapbacks. Im sure that milquetoast ass David Brooks has at least one column about the loss of traditional masculinity and he prolly used to hand over the money in his wallet to Bob Herbert's kids at the vending machine on bring your kids to work day cause he was shook.

Pretty sure the people who point out the growing pussification of males are not bronies breh. In fact, I'm sure bronies are an inspiration for those "bemoaning" the downfall of masculinity.

go to reddit breh. go to slashdot.

EDIT: there are a lot of people who are part of weirdo fandoms like mlp and random girlie animes who are extra conservative when it comes to concepts of masculinity, which bugs me out.

Honestly, I don't know what this means. I've heard of reddit, but I'm not sure what slashdot is.

I can't say much about those guys. I only know about myself. I am concerned that testosterone is at an all time low, and I'm also concerned with the increasing pussification of men in this country. In regards to what you're saying, I don't know what mlp is, I'm not into cartoons or anything girly (besides a Drake song here and there), and I didn't even know bronies existed before I saw it on the internet.

Dude's got that weird ass Abdullah the Butcher shape. All his fat is in his stomach/waist region. You see his head and shoulders behind a podium and he looks like he's just somewhat overweight. Then you see his whole body and he's straight Humpty Dumpty status.

He's right about the feminized atmosphere but the muscular part is hilarious

Part of the testosterone thing is evolutionary. Men and women are physiologically moving closer together in certain ways, and have been doing so for the last several thousand years. This is a natural product of the increase in quality of life, which also decreases the rigid division of labor between the sexes. In the pre-agricultural revolution, hunter-gatherer days, men and women didn't have a huge division of labor. They both hunted, both gathered, and both raised children. Then, after the agricultural revolution came the division of labor that most "traditional" people now refer to (men work, women stay at home and raise kids, men do physical labor and entrepreneurship, women do cooking and cleaning, etc.) The revolution didn't change our physiology much, though, and didn't have time to, because less than 10,000 years later, we're already becoming more and more egalitarian again.

Here's an anthropological review that mentions it: http://www.anthropology.emory.edu/F...DFs/Sexual Dimorphism and Human Evolution.pdf

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

Let's keep it a buck, considering yourself a "man's man" only to complain about being attacked "feminized atmosphere" is pretty bytch made

HOST HOWARD KURTZ : So what about this bully narrative [surrounding Chris Christie]?

FOX SENIOR POLITICAL ANALYST BRIT HUME: Well, I would have to say that in this sort of feminized atmosphere in which we exist today, guys who are masculine and muscular like that in their private conduct, kind of old fashion tough guys, run some risk.

FOX CONTRIBUTOR LAUREN ASHBURN: Feminized?

KURTZ: Feminized.

HUME: Atmosphere.

KURTZ: By which you mean?

HUME: By which I mean that men today have learned the lesson the hard way that if you act like a kind of an old fashioned guy's guy, you're in constant danger of slipping out and saying something that's going to get you in trouble and make you look like a sexist or make you look like you seem thuggish or whatever. That's the atmosphere in which he operates. This guy is very much an old fashioned masculine, muscular guy, and there are political risks associated with that. Maybe it shouldn't be, but that's how it is.

that's one muscular b*stard

this thread....it is not disappointing me

The claims in your post are not supported in the link you posted.

Which particular claims? The entire last third of the article is about the decrease in dimorphism. The explanations begin on page 444, near the end of the page.


Also see: http://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/dspace/bitstream/1808/124/3/annurev.an.14.100185.pdf

Notice how things like better hunting technology were accompanied by a decrease in male musculature and physical robustness. Sexual dimorphism exists because of evolution in response to particular selection pressures, but when those pressures disappear, nobody's being selected for based on those pressures, and they start to homogenize through the pull of regression to the mean.

Also notice that the generation decline in male testosterone is not regarded as being explained by simple lifestyle changes like smoking or eating differently, which suggests a longer-term, more subtle explanation: http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/hormone-therapy/news/print/endocrine-today/{ac23497d-f1ed-4278-bbd2-92bb1e552e3a}/generational-decline-in-testosterone-levels-observed

Anyway, regardless of the explanations, dimorphism has been decreasing, and women and men have been becoming more similar in those ways for thousands of years, and there's no reason to assume this process won't continue in the future.
