There’s more evidence in last week’s Daily Mail of discontent amongst British women due to a crisis of masculinity in British men. Liz Jones writes “Who created this generation of feeble ‘Hotel Mum’ men? Er, I did”
Jones is scathing in her criticism of the British male:
men under 40 today are, without doubt, feeble, infantile and feckless.
They don’t have the self-confidence to ask women out except when paralytic on cheap blue vodka…
They never attempt to get out their very low-limit Electron debit cards when the bill turns up…
And they have all been raised on a diet of internet porn and ridiculous men’s magazines (in the male glossy world you are either a ponce or a pervert – there is no middle ground) so that all of them, to a wimp, are useless in bed.
No wonder all these big babies have scurried back home to their football-appliqued duvets – their girlfriends have long since chucked them out.
I’m glad I turned 41 last week!
The blame, says Liz Jones, lies at the feet of British women:
The real culprits are women just like me. Bossy, over-achieving, high-maintenance madams who mistook the notion of being equal to men for a scenario in which we completely took over, infantilised them, cosseted them and ultimately castrated them.
The shift in the power-dynamic between men and women has resulted in men giving up:
I’m afraid the result is that we’ve turned our husbands and boyfriends (and now, I’m perfectly sure, our sons) into perpetual Little Lord Fauntleroys – spoilt, spurious sperm donors still wet behind the ears.
But, is this really the fault of our women? The suffragettes clearly set a precedent which was taken from the workplace into the home by the eighties material girls and nineties girl power brigade. But women should not be too quick to blame themselves. Men have a responsibility to live as men in God’s world. If anyone is to blame for the spinelessness and ineptitude of modern men it is not their mothers, wives and girlfriends but their fathers, and so today most sons, who have long stopped fearing God and paying attention to God’s wisdom.
Romans 1:21-23 although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man (pornography)
According to the wisdom of God, this is what men should do:
Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.
Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
Proverbs 23:19-24
If men were wise, they (we) wouldn’t get “castrated” by bossy women.
