#Pink is the new Black
Today we are in the process of making the English language gender-neutral, and manliness, the quality of one gender, or rather, of one sex, seems to describe the essence of the enemy we are attacking, the evil we are eradicating.Harvey Mansfield
We think being a woman is hard.
But I honestly think being a man is harder.
In a world, political correctness gone mad, men have to think more than twice not to be accused of sexism, racism, misogyny, prejudism, violence or some other thing when dealing with women.
With the rise of feminism, manliness was denigrated and abhorred. Most men had to adjust or were forced to be gentle - men instead of gentlemen. They lost their identity and evolved into something else.
Even here in the virtual world, I see it's men who publicly whine mostly about other blog topics, scammers and bloggers. It's not manly to whine. Men have to be assertive. Have control over themselves and fight or defend and protect themselves and the vulnerable only when threatened.
(Sorry, not trying to teach anyone to be men. Just my opinion and I rightfully like to have it. Thank you)
Women stood up, fought and got to a place where they deemed was right for them. ( Whether women got it right is another topic for another blog.)
Will I die without finding a knight in rustic armour?
I don't mind actually dying without a knight if the Knights came in pink.
Will men fight back to get to their rightful right to be men, manly men with honour and valour ?
Or will they shape their eyebrows, start painting their lips and nails, look pretty and start a hashtag #pink is the new black ?
( P.S. Not really looking for a knight. just wanted to add this picture to my blog and couldn't think of a better way.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY USHA
Now could you imagine the torture I would put myself through if I bought a pink shirt.
You said,
"Now, one must ask what could God of possibly known about effeminacy thousandths of years ago?"
May be there were girly men even then.
What ever made you type that comment.
Respect is important in every human interaction. I think both genders must earn it than expecting it to be given just because they are a man or a woman.
May be I don't understand your Majesty's language correct to figure out how these comments are relevant to my blog topic.
The lack of masculinity in men, inwards than outwards. I am sorry I think I made it sound more outward manliness by adding pink to it.
I don't know how hard it is to bring up a son, but I always wanted a son.
I believe in earning respect than demanding it on both genders.
So, I take your No as a solid No.
Thank you.
I found this interesting video thanks to googling effeminacy. Just sharing.
I did not say, 'No'
The precise quote would be...'NO!'
if that is what it is.
Plack or Blink ?
OR perhaps our old brains are blind to this concept of Millennial genius.
Lets all shake our wrinkled fists to the sky in defiance of our near forgotten
male/female rhetoric.
And wearing pink ribbons as well
Sorry Usha but I must restore his true image.....
Ps, belated birthday wishes
Whenever,
Don't forget to beat your chest too while you're at it.
Thank you for the wishes. Hope and pray you are keeping well and strong.
But at my age chest beating will only lead to respiratory failure
What about if I wear pink boxers?
What 'bout if I go commando?
But be sure to insure your bits or not to wear anything with Zippers.
