There’s a sexual revolution going on in America. And people aren’t going to be burning their bras or stepping daintily around each other’s politically correct opinions. This is the hour of the retrosexual.
We’ve lived through the metrosexual, an ill-fated attempt of men trying desperately to emulate their female counterparts to get laid. And now we’re back to appreciating the man’s man. We do, however, have to give them a terrible name to appease all the advertising execs and magazine and ad copy writers – the retrosexual.
They go back to a time where gender distinctions were a natural way of things, not a subject to be studied in class. They will slap their women on the ass and make them feed them a sandwich. They will be unapologetic in their masculinity. They will sport facial hair that looks natural and unironic. And their numbers are swelling on television. Included is the majority of the cast of Mad Men, Iron Man, most everyone that people idealize from superhero movies – and the writers of Manolith. Argh.
Writers are calling it the menaissance, the revolution of manliness that they will clearly not be a party of, when they’re out gallivanting and inventing words like menaissance.
Amateurs.
