The Psychological Neutering of the American Male

The good news is that more and more American women are buying firearms, learning to use them, and legally carrying them for their own protection. The bad news is that one of the reasons why is the demise of the American male. The average American male is being psychologically neutered and being rendered unable to function in any normal fashion. This does not include members of the military, for obvious reasons. Women are now more psychologically suited to protect themselves than men are to protect them. The violent video games and bad rap lyrics aside, even ‘gang bangers’ are cowards. They don’t stand and fight man to man, they gang up (gang bangers) on one person or they shoot unarmed people. Pure cowardice.
Sensitivity training, Hollywood depictions of normal American males as inept and ‘nerdy’ or as uneducated rednecks, and the casting of homosexuals as normal all contribute to this situation. Add the lack of discipline in schools, ‘zero tolerance’ policies that punish the victims of attack as well as the attackers, and the government’s removal of parental rights to raise their children and you have what we see now in our society.
Special interest profiteers and government policies are isolating people form one another along racial, religious, and political lines. If you help someone in trouble, you may be subject to a lawsuit. If you interact outside your circle, you are looked upon with suspicion. We are isolated, and then add Homeland Security telling us that we have to watch each other because “Anyone could be a terrorist”.
We are being divided and, like the individual sticks of bamboo, individually we can be broken, but bound together we are strong. Apparently the government fears our strength when we are united. We just might hold them accountable for all the wrong they have done and how much of our money they waste. As Ben Franklin said during the Continental Congress debates leading up to the Declaration of Independence, “We must hang together or we shall surely hang separately.”
