Kevin Drum quotes this K-Lo meditation on porn in the military, but misses the best part:
The last thing I’d ever want is a feminizing of our military. But military bases are family affairs and therefore this is worth a discussion.
I love men. I love men being men. I love military men. And I thank God they are military men. But I find it hard to believe that all military men are “drinking and whoring Saturday night,” and if they are in any kind of majority, yeah, that bears scrutiny.
Like I said yesterday, I don’t know that Broun’s legislation is a good idea. But I know what he’s thinking: Porn is bad. Why is the military peddling it? It’s a good question. Not the biggest question of our day; it’s not the hill to die on, as many readers have put it to me. But porn in our culture does need to be addressed and discussed. And if that indicates a feminization of anything, maybe that’s what women are here for — to, every once in awhile, stand athwart history and yell, “Stop. What are we doing to our men?”
Lord knows, the feminization of men has been a problem since the last Spartan warrior died. But it’s a huge relief to know that while my feminine existence effectively enervates half the human race, I have been put on this Earth for a reason: the moral guardianship of men. Consider my existential anomie cured.
There were just too many good parts to quote…..
“I have been put on this Earth for a reason: the moral guardianship of men.”
Men tend to be more receptive to that sort of thing coming from women in Wonder Woman costumes.
Busybodies are everywhere. How do you think I feel being one of these military types that needs to be saved from carnal desire. The “feminization” of the military? What the hell is K-Lo talking about. Doesn’t she know that there have been women in uniform the past 3 decades.
