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.

During the Culture War, it is often instructive, and greatly amusing, at least for those of us prone to schadenfreude (delight at the woe of another — a word for a concept so cruel, that it exists only in the German language), to behold one of our most doughty champions of manhood, truth, virtue and awesome to wield a spiked bludgeon of rhetoric with the artistic grace of a conductor’s baton or the precision of a fencer’s epee in order, metaphorically speaking, to break bones, splatter blood, collapse lungs, crush testicles, and crumple the utterly empty balloon-skull of some soymilk-sipping effete yet arrogant craven-souled waspish limp-wristed blithermouth lecturing men that the right side of history excludes them.

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:

First, ask your lady wives and daughters if they would be attracted to neutraloid post-masculine creatures of the fashion described.
Second, go buy SON OF THE BLACK SWORD and pre-order HOUSE OF ASSASSINS, because Mr Correia merits more reward,and these books are great on every level.
Wow. That left a bad taste in my mouth. Let me see what is on the telly to let me forget the matter:
