Why women are to blame for killing off real men

When we longed for the coming of what we once liked to call the New Man, don't you sometimes think we should have been more careful what we wished for?

We told men we wanted them gentle and undemanding - and they gave us what we asked for. Bit of an own goal, I'd call that.

But it's all from a woman's view again. While the muscular men with hairless bodies depicted might be the kind of men that women and gays like, they are not the kind that men like.

This is a measure of the extent to which we have lost our notion of masculinity. The one report we have critising the new man gives us a different type of feminised man.

I recommend the following books for good insights into the notion of masculinity:

1. Iron John by Robert Bly.

2. From Wild Man To Wise Man by Richard Rohr.

3. What Men Know That Women Don't by Rich Zubaty.
