4th Grader Punished For Bringing 2-Inch Lego Gun To School
“A tiny toy led to big trouble for one fourth-grade New York City boy.
Patrick Timoney, a 9-year-old student at PS 52 in Staten Island, N.Y., was in the school cafeteria Tuesday playing with LEGOs when he was taken to the principal’s office and threatened with suspension. One of his toys was a LEGO policeman that holds a 2-inch plastic gun. The school has a no-tolerance policy when it comes to toy guns.”
Are we so determined to turn the next generation of men into sniveling pussies that we can’t even let little boys play with Lego guns? Really? I say our society has been demonizing masculinity for long enough. Men are not women. Women are (theoretically) beautiful, nurturing, sensitive creatures. Men are aggressive and enjoy violence, because sometimes shit just needs to get done. It’s in our genes. When we’re children, we blow off steam by playing with toys. Forcing boys to not play with “violent” toys out of a fear of future violent behavior is like forcing boys to not masterbate out of a fear of future rapes; by taking away the testosterone release valve you’re begging for the awful behavior you want to avoid. I say let boys play with toy guns and beat off, so they can grow up to be healthy men that know how to protect and satisfy their women.
And while we’re talking about the pussification of men, what’s the story with men actively watching American Idol? I regularly see men posting on Facebook about who they’re rooting for on American Idol and it makes me clinch my asshole. It forces me to watch scenes from Predator on youtube to regain respect for my gender. Is it no longer politically correct for men to like sports? Has karaoke replaced sports as an acceptable male competition interest? Or, have men in our society been so neutered that we’re just surrendering our balls?
The irony is that the women/gay guys who are forcing this cultural shift are not sexually attracted to the pussified assholes that they’re creating; they still get hot watching men act like men, because they’re wired to. Tonight I’m going to lift some weights before drinking vodka, playing loud Zeppelin riffs on my guitar, and watching a violent movie. My girlfriend will casually complain about it but she’s not fooling anybody. She loves it.
