The Men Must Vote For Kamala Party Line. And why it is All Wrong.

This is a first. You can call them the Kamala men.

Women as a group have never been coerced into voting for a male candidate for no good reason other than him being a man or a man of mixed race; so why is this okay now?

If it is not women trying to appeal to men then it is men trying to appeal to other men. Then there is the appeal to men across racial lines and wait for it, across party and other lines as well.

Okay so this all comes down to social cred, we get it. Of course this means it is political too.

Actress Jennifer Garner’s recent attempt to try and sell Harris for president is in a league all its own. She said; there isn’t anything sexier in a man than men for Kamala. Yikes!

Then we had former president Barrack Obama making an appeal to the brothers. Not sure if appeal is the right word. It was his way to name and shame. Oh he got a lot of push back much of it from those same brothers. The post went viral. Though he is not one of them bros is he? No more than Kamala is a sista? At least not if we going to be technical.

One clearly out of his pickled mind academic berated white men who refuse to vote for Kamala Harris saying; that they should be shot.

In another foolish piece from the New York Times writer Ruth Whippman let rip on what would you know…masculinity?

This one is not about masculinity per say but that men should not worry about being masculine; and how it ties in with Dems DEI values and this year’s presidential elections. So this is in essence about Kamala’s men.

Masculine is too narrow a paradigm according to the writer; instead men should exchange it for what she calls full humanity.

The electorate is faced with a choice so the story goes, between two models for masculinity. And it is the toxic versus the positive.

Now listen to these words; in response to the vein-popping, furious, felon model of the right; the left offers us a more morally upstanding and expansive “positive masculinity”.

Can’t say we noticed and to be to honest this woman pops a good number of veins just by thinking; and by writing this guff.

The term positive masculinity is derived from psychology; and has now become the go-to framework for progressives when it comes to treating men and boys.

The idea is to get boys to embrace more feminine-coded virtues. So boys must become like girls?

Here is the problem. For these past hundred years in our post, post–modern dystopia; it has been thought clever to dismantle just about everything, then to put it back in a different type of order in the hope it would make it all better. To build requires specifications but we told not to worry. Just throw out the things you don’t like and leave in those that you do. True you will have something that looks a lot different and is lopsided; but so what. It is all good and that is what counts.

In any case they can’t even define a human person on a basic level without making it up to suite their politics. Thus it can be different on any given day. This is what happens when everything is seen as fluid.
