On Man Skills
Mr. A. Doofus:
The skills men aspire to are the Man Skills, an ability to solve real-world problems, often involving physical strength or technical know-how, rather than creativity or emotional intelligence.
Mr. Larry Correia:
It isn’t an either or, doofus. Physical strength and creativity are not mutually exclusive. One of my best friends is an award winning poet who did strong man competitions. He can bend heavy duty nails with his bare hands and then write a haiku about it.
That champion is Larry Correia, the monster hunting accountant and master wordsmith.
The blithermouth eunuch is the Voice of Sauron, foe of life, whose name has been stricken from the Book of Manhood.
His column claims that, in the utopian future the Spirit of History will so soon usher in, man should code websites rather than fix cars, negotiate rather than fight, decorate rented spaces rather than do home improvements on owned homes, and teach their boys to be weak, uncertain, hysterical, shy and girlish, but most importantly of all, men should henceforth not be leaders, and not enforce discipline.
I am not making this up. Read for yourself. Read also the Correia fisking of this lunatic smug wee queen-bee wordspew in all its magnificent bloodletting here:
