Mike Rowe ftw!
NY Times apparently thinks the "Modern Man" is a wo-man.

The man's man uses a stick to clean out the modern man from between his boot tread. Anyone that looks for cues on how to be a man, especially from a newspaper, probably takes up most of the closet. In more way than one.

Wo Man
Whoa, Man!
And I thought we were done with "metrosexuals."
Now I just want to amble off to have a good cry to some Wu-Tang
Nothing to add after Mike Rowe.
However, just the use of the word "modern" ruins the entire article before it even started.

Bill Whittle made a few counter-points to the NYT's 'modern man' in a piece on gun control. Thanks,Bill:

I was gonna share this with the wife. But she REALLY likes Mike Rowe. I don't need to be compared to MR for the next week to 10 days. Don't get me wrong...I admire MR. But I think I'd be better off if he never made it big. F**ker.
ETA: I think this whole comparison could be summed up in just a few words:
What is a "man's man"? When your wife looks at you and smiles and says, "Mike Rowe? Compared to you, baby, he's a pussy."

Thanks for the link. I kept thinking "where are the fathers" in all of this social mess, and it's good to know I was not alone.

Sure you could. ONLY if you can not laugh out loud at some of the comments.
I accept these reasons but there are others that are still within the manly man code. Being a strong female who has to constantly resist the urge to throat punch namby pamby metrosexual douchcanoes, I would think no less of a man who cried upon the death of a parent or child, or shed a tear or two at his wedding when the love of his heart came down the aisle. There are some majorly emotional moments in life where only the most sociopathic or damaged human would not at least tear up. In fact, I have seen my manly man tear up exactly 3 times and I love him even more for letting that little bit of emotion show. But hint: None of the three instances was because he missed out on the Black Friday sale at Barneys.

It's music to the ears of the listener. Not my cup o tea ol chap. Yet some folks, even members of this board listen to said music.
That's pretty good!
Will we ever see a piece in NYT about how modern women are supposed to behave?

It's very unfortunate that Liberals won't sit through an entire video of Bill Whittle. Too much Butt Hurt....Or is that good for a Modern Man?

OMG ... WTF has happened to our country? I don't think that the "Modern Man" exists as per the NYT. Impossible, not true.
Or, the asshole that wrote the article was up against a deadline for publishing and just made it up as it has mostly done as a journalist all of it's life.

A man stamps letters and cigarettes, never his feet.
I do believe Mike Rowe showed the nyt columnist is something said writer doesn't have: a dick LOL!!
Mike Rowe speaks the truth, great retort.

Hey now, don't insult women by suggesting that. Those shrill harpies that make the news or are on The View are not of the same species.

Not all women are created equal. "The Grey" and my wife, to name two, are women of virtue. Go read Proverbs 31 (verse 10 to the end) to see what that means.

Thanks for posting that. I thought Mike Rowe's response was great but this one had me laughing so hard I was crying. Oh shit, am I a NYT modern man? Nope, got Betsy right here ... oh and Amy's over there in the bag ... and then there's Diane in the closet. Ah, good, that was a close one ...
Modern men are dependents on self fulfillment, services, technology, media, group think, and whatever it is they consume. They are quick to blame others when their needs are not met, and expect action to be taken by others or government when things don't go their way. In contrast, real men adapt to any circumstance, thrive in whatever conditions come their way, and provide for their families by whatever means are necessary to do so. They think for themselves and honor their word. Honor, integrity, and responsibility are the traits of a real man.....at least that is how I was taught.

Liberals are AFRAID of real men, so they created these ideals so they can >feel< safe with a "modern man" (even though they are far from safe)
See "on wolves, sheep and sheepdogs"... NYT's "modern man" is a sheep.

Both you guys are spot on.
I guess I'd rather this beta male get the attention he needs writing for the New York Times than by shooting up a school.

A man's man doesn't live his life according to a list compiled on the internet. If you handle your business and don't concern yourself with other people's shallow judgements, you've done well by yourself.
Oh, and just to stir the pot, Serbs, Ukranians, and Croats all drink vodka instead of whiskey. I wouldn't question those fellas' manhood.
Well, not to their faces anyway. Vodka is only good with Mt Dew.
