Girly Men

Jul 26, 2004 14:42

So it happened again. I was running and some jackmunch leaned out his car window to yell something at me. I'm not sure what he said, but I have a feeling it wasn't "hey man, great job, good luck at the olympics."

He looked like a white-trash version of Adrian Brody.

I hate Brody. He was on the cover of some Parade or whatever newspaper insert for the Sunday edition: his stupid big nose pointing at a headline saying "He's so SENSITIVE!" If sensitive means taking a made-for-Oscar type role created by a child-rapist and then making out with the nearest available female mouth, consent a non-issue, when accepting it, then yes, he is sensitive. On the other hand, if sensitive is to men as personality is to women, then it's his dewy facial expressions and the sluglike consistancy of his body that won him the role as Tori's music video love interest. Because he's just so "ethnic" and frail that there MUST be something deeper to him.

So scrawny, greasy haired big-nosed kid, from the safety of his speeding automobile, felt confident in his manhood enough to put me down for no good reason. Hell, he looked like the type of guy who, if he gets laid, it's because he gives free cigarettes to 14 year old girls -- there's no shame in that in this town, no, it's not as respectable as high school sweethearts getting hitched at 18, but there's not much shame in it either.

But that's why I didn't mind when Arnold called those Democrat legislature guys a bunch of Girly-Men. I look more like a Terminator than not, and if what I do to accomplish that gets me called a "faggot" or worse, I'm not going to sympathize with those Democrats and I wonder why women were so quick to do so.

After all, those Democrats aren't much different than Brody or Brody clone: they've got a surefire plan to get laid [rhetorically speaking, and not], too, and it's not with washboard abs or winning personalities, but instead of free cigarettes, pot, or beer, they hold the keys to abortion and they're not shy about holding that trump card. That's not some theory: remember when Nina Burleigh said "I would be happy to give him [Clinton] a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal." If it weren't for patriarchy, he'd probably have to cut back on those cheese burgers for any woman to give a fuck whether he wore boxers or briefs.

So being called a bunch of Sissies wasn't an attack on them by Arnold, it was Arnold playing the game as it's always been enjoyed, it was a pitch straight down the center and the good ol' donkey dudes were able to hit it out of the park: the park not being defined by the destruction of Arnold and the Republican Party, but by gaining that sympathy that they needed to keep playing their own part. How dare someone call them girly men! As if there's anything wrong with being a girl -- not that Democrat dudes said that, but their feminist accomplices surely did, not that those Democrats would ever put a girl or even a full grown women up for a presidential nomination.
