If American women want to know where all the manly men have gone, they can blame the feminists. Not only can men no longer hold the door open for women, they can’t even save a woman’s life and get a gracious thank you. Feminists have destroyed the relationship between men and woman. Most women like big, strong, John-Wayne-type men. They want men who bravely put out fires, fight in combat, protect their wives and children against intruders, and save damsels in distress. But feminists have made a lot of men afraid to be manly. It’s time to say, we love manly men.
Hey, I agree with Phyllis. I mean, I don’t agree with the entire thrust of her point of view, but I like ‘em big, tall and strong too. What’s funny, though, is that pretty much every woman I know and associate with is a feminist, and I’ve never seen one of them have a problem having the door opened for them or lack genuine appreciation when someone comes to their aid, even if the person helping is a sexy lumberjack of a man.
For context, Phyllis seems to have come up with the idea for this blog post by perusing her copy of Us magazine and, having read the story of the girl being saved in New York City traffic by none other than “heartthrob Ryan Gosling” [SCHLAFLY'S words, not mine], seen an opportunity to both blast those dumb feminists and also share with us the kinds of dudes she finds sexy. Bravo, Phyl.

I’m an exception to that rule. I’m a feminist, but I prefer my husband to enter businesses and dwellings before me rather than holding the door open for me. In contrast to who I am online I’m very shy in public and I like to have him enter first to shield me from interaction with others – to me that’s chivalry.
Oh great…now Im being forced to contemplate what that witherd old clam finds sexy…
I hold the door open for people regardless of gender or age. People usually do it for me. It is common courtesy. Maybe Schlafly doesn’t notice human society is usually rather decent because when people see her coming and recognize her they slam the door in her face.
There are no more firemen and soldiers? Seriously, what is this old lunatic talking about?
Apparently in Schlafly’s world all it takes to turn in big manly man into a little wuss is for a woman to open her mouth.
Wasn’t John Wayne a draft-dodger? Is that really the type of guy Phyllis likes?
What decade does she think she’s living in? She’s parroting antifeminist cliches that were idiotic 40 years ago.
But Ryan Gosling IS hot. I’ll give her that.
@Phoenix
And a serial adulterer, child abuser, raging alcoholic, and racist.
Why do I suddenly hear the opening song for the show Two and a Half Men? Men, men, men, men manly men…
I’ll bet her son likes manly men too.
She likes caricatures?
How old is this biddy anyway? It is soooo true, only the good die young. These self-righteous religious wacko types know their belief system is all bullcrap fairy tales so they cling to life violently for decades, terrified of death, making the rest of us listen to their spiel and working to deny us as many rights as possible. Unless, of course, we are rich white christian hetero men, or their toadies. This woman must resemble a living mummy by now. Jeebus help us.
