Real Men
Some ado in the blogosphere about this essay by Kim regarding how the western male is being pussified. While I agree with the general sentiment, I take issue with some specifics he lists. But this isn’t a post about that, this is a post about real men.
Who are real men? A real man is someone willing to risk everything for the things and people he cares about, but still laughs at fart jokes.

From a woman’s perspective (if I may) “real men” are diverse. They’re not all cut from the same cloth. I did understand what Kim was saying tho, and even agree with him on some points. If you are the woman of a real man, be thankful. If his real manliness is tempered with kindness and consideration for you, ignore the farting.

The Western man is becomnig “pussified”?? I’m not too sure about that! Or, perhaps I am in denial? I guess women in the West do have more clout so to speak and us men just can’t get away with as much as we used to 😉

Real men
Apparently, Kim du Toit has a column up that has gotten a lot of attention (according to SayUncle) entitled “The Pussification Of The Western Male”. As of this writing, Kim’s site is noting that requests for this article have overwhelmed…
