LETTER: Stop emasculating the American male

For some time now there has been a concerted effort to emasculate the American male. For decades products have been hawked and sitcoms have flourished by portraying men as Neanderthals, while their better half gets the better of them.

Women have moved into virtually all previously considered male occupations. In some cases the bar was lowered to facilitate the result. Currently, there is an experimental effort to put women in infantry combat units. Finally, there is the breakdown of the American family unit, caused in no small part by the Great Society replacing fathers with government social programs. These are just the tip of the iceberg where numerous examples exist. Women do not need recognition at the expense of men.

America has flourished in the past with traditional strong male role models as a major influence on their sons and daughters in a unified family. This is at odds with the current Marxist trend where strong men are an ever-present threat to an omniscient government.

We have sailed into a maelstrom that will sink our great ship of state. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Society will be better served if the left would stop trying to be politically correct and turning us into creatures alien to our genetic code.
