On Sale Now (Just In Time For The Holidays) The Great Masculine American Male

Vantage Points Header Joel ElvesonTHE GREAT MASCULINE AMERICAN MALE is needed now! There is no time now for feminine hygiene products or “women’s issues.” It is time to bring back the Marlboro Man to his rightful domain in the rugged mid-west of this country. Men with bodies that are chiseled with muscles that clearly show whomever has the might is the one who is right. Those who fight on the ball field with every ounce of sweat and blood they can give so their team can come out victorious. These are real men!

Our masculine American males are heroes to our nation despite never having fought for her. Battering their wives or girlfriends mean nothing as they probably “asked for it.” Beating their kids with sticks or rods teaches ironfisted no nonsense discipline that every kid needs. Their women should apologize for forcing their male counterpart to hit them. Tough men do what they feel is necessary without the need to consider consequences.

The real men that I speak of are idolized for the feats of magic they put on display for us week after week. How dare we expect them to abide by the same laws we have to nor should their off “stage” conduct be held to the same rules of decent moral behavior as we do. Drugs or performing enhancing substances are well within what is considered right. If fits of drug induced rage manifest themselves that is perfectly acceptable as long as they perform as we want them to.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is all man! While he is not American the pictures we have seen of him riding shirtless on his horse in his tight denim jeans displaying the body and attitude of those we worship on screen or in the stadiums where the battles are fought. No nonsense! Just plain masculinity that should make women want to put on their sexiest best in order to snag this prize for themselves. “Put out” as much as he wants you to so he can “lay it out” for us. This is your job to serve him with your obedience.

Enough already! Any more paragraphs like the ones that preceded this one will cause me to suffer severe stomach distress! These “men” I allude to are professional athletes who earn salaries we can only fantasize about. Underneath the macho and the muscle are children who never learned how to handle life and because of that when things don’t go their way watch out as their rage knows no limits.

Many of you know the faces along with the stories behind them. You may even know their names as well. How many times have we read about their brutality and on being given a slap on the wrist because of who they are in terms of importance to the team. The fans pay big money to see these goons perform so payoffs must be made to ensure the fans keep pouring more money into the greedy owner’s bank account.

The average “joe” would be locked up without so much as a whimper of protest from anybody for similar offenses. In society today the acts of violence athletes commit are often glossed over despite the level of physical punishment that was doled out. This menace must be locked away to keep the rest of us safe but chances are his fame and fortune will result in lowered charges. Both men are mentally unstable criminals so why should one be allowed to escape justice because he has a “name?”

Being a virile masculine male athlete should not entitle them to carte’ blanche violent behavior towards anybody especially women. Any individual who has been violently victimized by one of these heroes of the moment must use the full force of our judicial system to see that they are punished despite the challenges. Sad to say but few women will look to prosecute electing instead to chalk the incident up as a “simple misunderstanding.” If the next incident should result in death is that also a “simple misunderstanding?”

I will confess I too get awed by the talent these athletes are blessed with that allows them in any given moment to leave you wanting more. They are some of the best at what they do. Yet the more disturbing headlines I read about many of them I find myself withdrawing any respect I may have had for the sport they play or the team that kept him around regardless of the fact this person is a ticking emotional time bomb that can explode at any time.

Our kids grow up worshipping these “men” often trying to copy every move or action they do perhaps in hopes one day they too can become a star. The danger is when they are so enamored with who they are watching what is there to stop them from accepting and copying the violence they are made aware of but take the attitude that if nothing happened to that athlete for what they did then it must be okay.

Masculinity is equated with sex appeal. Sex sells! Madison Avenue will sell as much of the sexual power/prowess of these men further encouraging vulnerable minds to strive for stardom as aside from murder anything else is just a guy thing. Barreled chests with muscles as thick as tree trunks makes them in the eyes of those who are devoid of any real values something to be desired. His “package” bulging from his bikini shorts sets off screams of delight playing into the hands of those who seek to sell women and men on the idea this is how a “real” man looks. The “look” in the case is everything with nothing else being of importance.

The purpose of this article is several fold. Mainly I wanted to bring attention to the issue of domestic violence in general that has roots grown from sports. I also wanted people to realize that despite how good you are at what you do or how sexy you look if you use your strength intentionally or unintentionally in a manner that causes harm to a woman, child or animal you are a criminal who should be sharing a cell with the average “joe” who did what you did.

  1. Pleasure is all mine, Sir! Your mastery of touching the deep core of a subject makes all the difference. I just try to be honest in appreciating the message to the extent I am able to derive it from your presentation.

    Warm Regards with Best Wishes for the New Year!

  2. There’s a strong connection between leadership, masculine traits, and chiseled bodies. It’s okay to have humility and helping others but we have to be strong when doing so. Canada’s prime minister, PM Trudeau has humility and does help others; but he is always apologizing. While doing all of this good, it’s torn away by him looking weak.

    • Chris, Thank you for reading and commenting on my article. The point I was raising dealt with the connection between overly masculine traits as it relates to society and some of its ills.

    • Bharat, Thank you not only for reading and commenting on my article but having an understanding of the points I was trying to bring out. It is always a pleasure to read your comments. Your loyal readership is appreciated.
