Mad men mad at Mad Max for having mad women · Newswire · The A.V. Club
This article strikes a chord with me and ought to strike a chord with our resident "women beat on men all the time - wah wah" poster on here as well.
Why are we such little schoolboys when it comes to women?
The late American literary critic, Leslie Fiedler, contributed this socially inept mindset to a desire for perpetual "play." Such works as "Huckleberry Finn," for instance, suggested an obsessive American male infatuation with avoiding the very masculine duties of fatherhood and statesmanship. Men at play, boys, constantly.
Today we see them with their video games. Had "Huckleberry Finn" been written some 130 or so years later, I'm convinced little Huckleberry would have been playing his video games instead of letting out for the territories.
And there's also the fact that so many roles that should be given to male American actors today are given to not American actors. They're given to Brits, Australians, etc. It's a wonder Capt. America was even given to an American, but I guess the filmmakers thought it advisable not to go away from that route since he's ****ing Capt. America.
So, I ask you the following questions:
1. Why are American men such goobers?
2. Why do American men fear women so much?
I think the two are related, but I'll leave that for your astute and researched analysis to decide.
