This week we will be watching a film called Tough Guise, by Jackson Katz. In his discussion of American masculinity he talks about the backlash against feminism in the 1980s and 90s. He argues that the anger that many men felt at losing power is connected to the popularity of personalities like Andrew Dice Clay, Howard Stern, and Rush Limbaugh. Watch the clip of an Andrew Dice Clay performance and read this transcript from a recent Limbaugh radio show. Do you argee with Jackson Katz that these men and their fans are threatened by women's increasing power in society?
I completely agree with Jackson katz. These hyper masculineized, ignorant "men" are just cowards. Spitting out obseneties and degradeing women like it's some kind of joke. Of course they are afraid of an inteligant woman. I guess when your that inept you'd be afraid of anything smarter than yourself. What I want to know is truely what goes through these idiot's heads when they say these things. Rush limbaugh actually thinks men are naturaly smarter than women? Is he aware that it's 2007 and not 1910! I'd love to know what his wife does all day and what type of conversation conists in that home, If any woman would marry him at all! God forbid anyone give me the number to his radio show,..!
I hope that guy has daughter, and tons of'em and then I would like to see what his daughters do and what he would do. Man that could be No 1 show on you tube. Anyway I will have to completely agree with Jackson Katz, because men are more likely jealous type who just won't tolerate taking orders from women or see women getting to the top. They don't and won't try to understand the feelings of women and think that what they are doing is acceptable and the woman loves it. THAT IS B.S. As far as Rush Limbaugh I think he is hmmmm you know ACT SMART DO NOTHING type guy, he eventually thinks that women are less smarter than men. Well I cant argue with that may be because his mother was not that smart enough that is why he was born like with that attitude.
WOW, to think that people can get away with the language and the degrading is ridiculous. ANdrew Dice Clay is the biggest asshole of them all, i mean at least with Howard Stern, women volunteer, but Clay just bashes and the men love it. Women cant defend themselves at all. I wondeer if he has sisters or a mother for that matter that doesnt slap him upside his head every time she sees him. I agree with Jessica, what year is it? How can people still get away with that in the new millenium?
