Where Have All The Men Gone?
 
I saw this on another forum and asked/received the author (Pastor Steve Buxton of Hilltop Tabernacle Chula Vista, CA) for permission to post it here.

I guess the war was a pretty good excuse to place women in the work force. But glacing backward it seems to me that we not only took women out of the home but ultimately we lost the men in the process. The children of the WWII generation produced an attitude that explored the difference of the sexes while losing the respect of them. The children of the "make love not war generation" as they have moved into power, have done their best to absolutely destroy any deliniation of the sexes. With that has come this nuetered philosophy of Political Correctness of speech.

The reason for my post is that it seems to me that with the departure of real "Maleness" in our society it has become a seedbed for this PC mentality. It bothers me that men ( and I have seen it on this forum ) have to apologize and try to defend themselves if they speak in a way that some would consider not PC. Were the O.T. Prophets P.C.? Were the Disciples? Was Christ? I think not. Trumpets can be loud, disrupting even alarming but they do give a certain sound. Is not the admonition of Isaiah 58:1 to "lift up thy voice like a trumpet..." I am in the Church today because Men of God, Real Men of God, lifted their voices plainly....and I heard them and understood them..and am thankful for them today. Lift up your voice like a trumpet!!

Hilfiger??? Monkeyman, Hilfiger? I think Tommy Hilfiger is "straight" at least. Kind of like "heterosexual fashion designer Calvin Klein." But just look at what Calvin Klein did to the coin pocket in men's jeans. Now even the cheapo Jeans at Sam's Club are based upon the CK design and the coin pockets are useless. At one time I blamed this on "gay culture" but my friends told me CK wasn't "gay."

I don't want loose coins rattling around in my Jeans. It scatches the LCD screen on my cell phone. I want Levi and Wrangler style coin pockets at reasonable prices. No wonder the men in America and the West live in despair. Useless coin pockets.
