Let's start with something different today. I'll sing you a song, and you can pretend I sound just like Brad Paisley. In fact, it's his song, so...
When you see a deer, you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake, you think "picnic"
And I see a large mouth up under that log
You're probably thinking that you're going to change me
In some ways, well, maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up but remember no matter what
I'm still a guy
When you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk, naked girl
You think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
And I'd like to give it a whirl
Well, love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might walk your sissy dog,
hold your purse at the mall
But remember, I'm still a guy
I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around, knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by
I can hear you now talking to your friends
Saying, "Yeah, girls, he's come a long way
From dragging his knuckles and carrying a club
And building a fire in a cave"
But when you say a backrub means only a backrub
Then you swat my hand when I try
Well, what can I say at the end of the day
Honey, I'm still a guy
I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around, knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by
These days there's dudes getting facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tacklebox
With all of these men lining up to get neutered
Getting out of being feminized
I don't highlight my hair
I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy
Oh my eyebrows ain't plucked
There's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God, I'm still a guy
First of all, I want to say that I believe there's a difference between a man and a guy, and I'll deal with some kind of "what is a real man" topic another time.
Truth is often in between the extremes. The song shows the stereotypical "guy". I'm not like that. I don't care about NASCAR, American football, backwards baseball hats, cigars, hunting, fishing and the like. Some guys would think I'm not a "real" man. Too bad, I know that I'm a "real" man, and I'm not going to let some kind of arbitrary performance standards define me.
But Brad makes a good point with this song. You see, there's still a gender conflict going on. Many guys act like cavemen brutes, with no class and no tact. It's an extreme. And that works against the entire gender. Feminazis want to turn men into some kind of mutant females, but having the benefits of having a man around when they need one ("Dear, would you move the couch over there..."), and it's the other extreme: I need your help, Mr. Male Person. Women don't need to "change" men. Men that are changed by feminazis wind up turning in their Man Cards because they are confused "nice guys" (check out the forum on that last link).
I should add that both genders have traits of the other one. Men are encouraged to "get in touch with their feminine side". That's true, within reason. (I never hear women being encouraged to get in touch with their masculine sides, though.) Heck, both genders have the hormones of testosterone and estrogen running through them.
The fact is (watch the feminists get all hissy about this), women want real men. Not an effeminate "nice guy" creature. Now, the truth is in the middle, remember? He can't be the caveman brute, but he can't be sappy and feminine, either. Men, it's something you have to work out for yourselves.
If you like hunting, fishing, NASCAR and so forth, fine, more power to you. Have a good time. (But have enough class to learn how to wear dress clothes to a dinner party.) We don't have to be ashamed of being sexual beings. Hell, I'm proud of it. However, many guys need to learn to develop a bit of class.
Nicky, stop staring at Teenie. I keep telling you, she's too young.
Women are sexual beings as well, but they've learned how to use sex as a weapon or a manipulation tool. They know men can be mindless sheep about that. Sorry, girls, you're not fooling anyone. The secret's been out for a long time. Probably with the help of male sellouts.
OK, boys, guys, men and all the rest. Hope you learned a little something today. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to tend to the fire in the cave. Ciao!
