Never have I ever read a more psychotic, narcissistic, histrionic and absurd piece of tripe. Well, that's not true, but this one is certainly competitive for craziness ever.
Oh, the insanity of it all
This is what our world is up against. Let's see this in light of events yesterday in NYC and how people like this author react to them. Her thesis in the piece linked above (hate to have to link such manure, but it does deserve public scrutiny and ridicule) is that all men, all masculinity are responsible for the evils of the world. No man is exempt from this guilt, as, well, men are masculine.
Fast forward to NYC - and remember that even though this one person who strongly identifies with a certain religious persuasion committed this heinous act, he was a bad one and it is not all of them.
A man or even many men act foolish - all men and masculinity are to blame.
A Muslim man commits murderous terror - an anomaly.
Right- that makes sense.
I am willing to accept that not all Muslims are terrorists or murderers. Will this author and others accept that not all men are evil?
If masculinity does become toxic, remember that people like this author made it that way. Sometimes you create your own enemies. Maybe one can make a case that we did that with Islam - although I think it is more likely the other way around. But this author, as did her (I assume) candidate of choice, defined a large segment of the population as evil, "deplorable", and the enemy.
I am reminded of what I am sure Rob Reiner considered a parody, but in this case rings too much of truth: COL Nathan Jessup's tirade in A Few Good Men: When there are no good people to stand on that wall, who does this author think will defend her? As with many in the halls of academia (I know, I work there), there is little to no appreciation for the world out there and the role that good men and women play in it.
There is no reasoning with this mentality.
