…
“Metrosexual” ?
Hello, the 90’s called…
And all this time I thought it was the fluoride in our water.
hahaha so long asshole! don’t let the door hit you on that masculine ass on the way out.
I’ve never understood the people who like to shout out how afraid they are of everything, run from it and call it strength.
To be feared?
He wants to be feared as a man?
Holy shit. That’s olympic sized red flags there, dude.
Okaaay…
“Our young men are taught that weakness is strength, that delicacy is desirable, and that being a soft metrosexual is more valuable than training the mind, body, and soul!” he declared. “Social media has weakened us, siphoning our men of their will to fight!”
Fuck right off, you insecure, cowardly, brick-witted thug.
“Will you become a man to be feared, to be respected …”
There’s your problem. Madison doesn’t know there’s a difference.
I am so tired of this trope. Pretty much every generation will start to complain about how “soft”, “weak”, or “unruly” and will doom the future if they don’t get their act together.
It is all BS.
Great that he’s out.
But what remains is the painfully stupid and dangerous disease still pervading men, that “fear = respect”.
‘Will you become a man to be feared, to be respected’
Tells you everything that he thinks ‘fear’ and ‘respect’ go hand in hand.
I pity any future kids.
Conservatives are the most macho, manly-man, rugged individuals ever.
And yet they are somehow threatened by a skinny dude carrying a purse.
Humping your cousin is apparently the best way to avoid becoming a metrosexual.
I don’t understand the etymology of this word, does a “metrosexual” want to have sex with cities or subways?
Seriously. For a second I was like “I don’t think anyone has used that word since before this douchenozzle was even born…”
Strictly speaking “metro” doesn’t mean city – that’s the polis half of metropolis. “Metro” means mother.
(But metrosexual is just a portmanteau from metropolitan, not actually anything to do with that fortunately.)
