I think you might be a little off in your numbers regarding Gen X and brainwashing. Not that we don’t have our freaks who worship the planet as a diety, but you must realize that they simply get the most press. I don’t necessarily picture you, my father or Habu painting your faces and dancing around Haight-Ashbury smoking dope in 1968 with American Flag patches sewn on the butt pockets of your jeans. Yes, our teachers were the same liberal sops that waited in the mews until their tenure got them administrator positions, but back when I graduated in ’88 the administrators and heads were still men with graying crew cuts. Men that had put Hitler on ice and rode Shermans in Korea. Dodge ball was the sport of choice (if not of Kings) and the most popular phrase for expressing non-support and contempt for a thing was “that’s gay”. The terrible plauge of hazing was years from being removed from either the schools or the military, it was applied zealously to those who needed it. My generation went to higher education to learn to make money, if anything we were taught to embrace the system so that we could buy the higher luxuries.
So now, when those luxuries are taken, expect the camoflauge veneer of PC and multiculturism to strip away right quick like… it’s just going to take the right amount of pain first.
I work in IT for a fortune 500 company, one of the larger IT staffed ones in fact. There are a lot of metrosexuals there, I see the truth in Whiskey’s analogies every day. But there are a great many wolves wearing sheepskins walking around too, with firm handshakes and hobbies besides golf and fantasy football leagues. Men that take and active role in their families and children’s upbrings, instead of being focused inwardly in SWPL self-worship. We know our own despite the platitudes and sweater vests.
And before anyone gets the fuse lit on their tampon… there are plenty of women of this mindset too, my own wife being one. But guess what… They differ from the men in their methods and some of their values. Androgeny (sp?) is not the way to get anything accomplished people. It’s amusing and revealing that the one diversity that the PC crowd abohors is one that actually is based on common sense and teamwork older than recorded history.
