Which “concerned man” from Concerned Women for America has such a small, shall we say, sense of his own masculinity, that he thought this would be a good bumper sticker to sell at CPAC?
How sad! If you ever see one of those on a truck (with oversized tires, natch), please don’t get angry. Pity the poor, scared little child that lives inside the body of the man driving the, um, penile substitute. If you’re a spiritual person, say a little prayer for him. He needs all the help he can get, the poor dear.
UPDATE: This isn’t directly related, but right after I posted this, I came across this video of Ewan McGregor on Good Morning America talking about kissing Jim Carrey, on film and off. Instead of letting the situation devolve into childish humor, Ewan sort of made the giggling stagehands and Stephanopoulos look stupid, by, as David Mixner said, giving the moment dignity.
So, as you watch this video, I think you’ll see that my point speaks for itself. Which strikes you as more of a secure man? The pithy scared Matt Barber-esque morons who are so scared of gay people that they would manufacture the above bumper sticker? Or the guy below, who essentially looks around and says, “Yeah, I kissed a man. I’m really not sure why this is an issue for you.”
Wow, that is certainly pathetic.
As I said elsewhere, Real Men don’t worry about what a man has to do to be a “Real Man.”
And I absolutely love McGregor’s nonchalant attitude about the whole thing. The man has class.
“Real Men Marry Women”
No, real men don’t have to put extraordinary amounts of effort into proving how “real” they are.
And kudos to Ewan McGregor. He’s right–in this day and age it really should be a non-issue for two people of the same gender to share a kiss.
“Real” men exists, and that’s all that “real” men have to do.
This once again demonstrates how sexually retarded and infantile most Americans are compared to more sophisticated Europeans like McGregor.
Well, as an Irish person, I cannot speak for Europeans in general. I think that northern continental Europe (The Netherlands and Scandinavia in particular, also Germany) may have fewer sexual hangups. In other parts … I don’t know.
I suspect our sexual hangups are just different.
TRiG.
Real Men Marry Women
I used to be one of those ‘real men”. Yes, I was a closeted gay man married to a woman thinking it would cure me of “the gay”. However, it only brought a lot of misery and psychological damage to me. So Pete can just go frack himself for making a stupid bumper sticker like that.
