Hitting the Mark

In an essay that speaks volumes about men in The West, Kim du Toit hits the nail on the head with this post from November 5th, "The Pussification of the Western Male," (tip of the hat to Watcher of Weasels). What happened to being a man, with all that involves and requires. Where did we lose our masculinity? Hell what happened to the backbone of our nation? Yes, we have lost a bit over 400 lives in Iraq since this all began. Yes, each one is a tragedy. Now we are hearing of timetables being moved up to turn it all over to the embryonic "government" of the Iraqi's and the United Nations. Let's get this straight, our enemies are counting on us being weak, unable to go the distance. They base all their strategies upon us not being the equal of the WWII generation. And damn it, we are doing nothing to dissuade them! And a major reason for this weakness, as du Toit and others point out, is that our men have become pussies! Yeah, you may be able to bench press a Yugo or win a bar fight. But what about real toughness and fortitude. While I do not buy everything duToit is selling, it is high time Western Males took some Viagra for the spine because God knows we need to stiffen up!
