Kim du Toit's essay The Pussification of the Western Male has been a very hot topic of conversation across the net all week long. (Enough response was generated to take his provider down.)

This is the best response to it that I have found:

I don’t know how many times I’ve had people ask me why I don’t have children. When I say it’s because I’m not married, the standard, “every other women does it” comes out of some idiotarian mouth. Some have even come out and said that I didn’t need a husband, that I could get aid; the welfare state as father figure.

Is the state going to teach my son that a real man treats women with respect even if she doesn’t respect herself? Will it play football with him? Take him for his first haircut? Will it teach him that a real man protects beings weaker—physically and otherwise--than himself? That a real man doesn't have to swear all the time or shout to let others know that he's a real man?

If you read one post today, make it this one.
