Real Men? The Return of the Retrosexual

You've got to love this post by Dr. Joy Bliss at Maggies Farm, "The return of the Retrosexual?":

Women often can be heard adopting the passive-aggressive victim posture, and bitching about how easy and good men have it in life. Fortunately, there are plenty of wise women out there who appreciate how tough it is for a boy child to become a man: so tough that many never do it.

From the Daily Mail, a book review: The Return of Real Men: Ladies, Get Ready to Meet Mr. Retrosexual.

They're back? I didn't know they ever went away.

Let's bring some politics into this, just for fun. McCain is the Retrosexual: he knows guns, wouldn't back away from a fight and can use his fists, bait a hook, and can mess with an old Chevy carburetor. Obama: pure Metrosexual, with clean nails, probably never used a chain saw or shot a handgun in his life, and probably hires illegal Mexicans to do his gardening. "I'll have a chardonnay spritzer, please, when you have a chance." A classic "pretty boy," like John Kerry would have been had he been handsome.

I like my nails clean, but I'm no stranger to handguns, shotguns, or cleaning out the pigsty down on the farm.

As for the retro-metro divide, I like McCain: He's a national greatness conservative, and we could use a little more of that in this day an age.

I'll have more later!
