Sooooo Paris says that being a man is passe’….hold up while I get up off the floor.

So exactly when have we ever looked to the catwalks of Paris and Milan for the definition of a man? They certainly have never had a clue about such a beast. Trust me my wifey spent some quality time as a model in New York, Milan and Paris and there have never been such things as men involved in the Fashion industry.

Take a look at this “Man” and see if you can spot the differences between him and this man. Brad Kasal is the one holding on to his service pistol correctly after being severely wounded fighting off terrorists who were trying to finish off one of his wounded marines. He is likely to be the first Marine to get a Medal of Honor while still alive since Vietnam. See any differences?

Asking the French the definition of a man may be a bit like asking Hillary Clinton what honesty is about. Neither one of them have much experience with those subjects. All the men in France either died in WW1 and WW2 or they moved to America. The rest can be seen painting their hair red and wearing their suspenders backwards while posing as tough metrosexuals.

    Move over Rambo, you’re cramping new man’s style – Yahoo! News: “PARIS (AFP) – Macho man is an endangered species, with today’s male more likely to opt for a pink flowered shirt and swingers’ clubs than the traditional role as family super-hero, fashion industry insiders say.

    A study along these lines led by French marketing and style consultants Nelly Rodi was unveiled to Fashion Group International during a seminar Tuesday on future strategy for the fashion industry in Europe. ‘The masculine ideal is being completely modified. All the traditional male values of authority, infallibility, virility and strength are being completely overturned,’ said Pierre Francois Le Louet, the agency’s managing director. Instead today’s males are turning more towards ‘creativity, sensitivity and multiplicity,’ as seen already in recent seasons on the catwalks of Paris and Milan.”

  1. “So would a girlie man have to wear a burqa?”

  2. So would a girlie man have to wear a burqa? The Muslim fanatics are gonna have to come up some new rules when they take over. I hope the French destroy the nukes before Shira law becomes the law of the land but more likely a few will hang on and show the Muslims how they work.
