Gender Benders

Ok - I've about had it with men morphing into metrosexuals. Guess I'm just one of those clueless country bumpkins who never heard "metrosexual" used in a sentence before. These "men" were usually called "primpers" - and who's maleness was ALWAYS in question.

What's got me a little perturbed is the shows on TV doing male makeovers, a la Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (U.S. AND U.K. editions now) as well as Male Primping Products as well as websites for "male fashion emergency"!!.

Holy Cow!

Where I come from we call that pitching for the other side. Metrosexual is a Homosexual training phase as far as I'm concerned. (By the way, Monty Python knew this was coming a long time ago: Brian meets the P.F.J. at the Colosseum.) And what the heck is wrong with some dirty toe nails, some callouses, and washing your face and hands with soap. All of a sudden I need facial products and hair products as well as a manicure/pedicure? Shall I start talking with a lisp and going to antique shows as well? What's wrong with straight guys acting like straight guys? Do I have to be constantly assaulted by homosexuals when being entertained? Queer as folk on Showtime can be avoided by not paying for Showtime cable service. Will & Grace while well written, again is all about the gay men.

Does the man have to ask this question - where's the lesbian sit-coms? Where's the hot lesbian's making over straight women to be more attractive to men?

Mark my words, this is payback for those hundreds of years when men kept women in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Women get in powerful positions in TV-land, then play house on videotape with poor dumbasses who invite them in for their 15 minutes of fame. Many times the women in these poor saps life go along with the gag. Haha. Look at the fagella make pithey comments about this jerks wardrobe! It's all just so funny. While the guy is just being a guy. If women want to be with other women who have a penis, they have a name for that: Transexual. See girls, you can trade makeup secrets, pocketbooks and even outfits while getting satisfied by a 100% true blue wee-wee. Is that what you ladies want?

This is one of the final degredations of men, and we're just too stupid to realize it. If space men looked at television and the media for clues to our society, they would most likely see men as weak buffoons who are quite stupid and easily manipulated by the opposite sex. Pop culture has turned Clint Eastwood into Pee Wee Herman and everyone seems to be okay with that.

I need to go and rent a few Dirty Harry movies and maybe some John Wayne to re-identify with my gender.
