retro...

yesterday i was listening to the radio on my drive to work. to be honest, i often listen to all-news radio on these 20 minute trips. you know, just to be aware of traffic conditions, weather, and to be able to hear the same news story 18 times over during the commute. just to really "get it".

anyways, they did a brilliant piece of journalism about "retro-sexuals"...the newest catch phrase to distinguish a "type of man". what i gather is that this whole movement is in response to "metro-sexuals". a retro-sexual is a man's man, a good ol' boy who feels as though it is their place to work and a woman's place to stay at home...you know, taking it back to the good old days...

my response = barf. *cough* barf again.

my interpretation = these are the folks that would feel the need to shotgun beers in front of their buddies, followed by the necessary "i can f&%cking smash this can against my head! watch me!!!", just to prove how manly they are. because clearly that shows the brilliance it takes to be "in charge" of a woman and a family. clearly. if only i knew that is what it takes to present dominance over others. if i would have known that i would have taken it up a notch and performed a feat just as brilliant, if not more, just to wallow in the supreme-ness of my being! does mainlining heroine and eating the needles show that i am worthy of having the attitude that i am fundamentally better than others. yes? yippee! set that shit up!
