Girly Men - Media and Masculinity

The magazine Salvo features this article on mascullinity in the media. Although I may not agree with all of the content, I feel like - in some really important way - the author touches on a reality that we must recognize and understand. Here's a tidbit:

the war against boys seems to have created three main character patterns for the adult male of our time: sensitive guys who want to please women; weenies and dorks who want only to be left alone to drink beer and play video games with their dork buddies; and thugs who, in rebellion against their unnatural education, are perpetually concerned with proving their toughness through increasingly loutish behavior.

Warning, you may feel offended by this article.
