The Measure of a Man

Hat tip to Cory, who has the intestinal fortitude to read blogs that I'm pretty sure none of us at Dakota Women bother with.

Bob Ellis (no linking to hate sites on DW) has added a couple of items to Todd Epp's exhaustive list of what makes a real man - which Kelsey outlined below. We learn from Bob that:

1. Real men DO NOT volunteer at homeless shelters

and

2. Real men DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY do NOT have anything to do with curtains. Real men most likely have to avoid windows and the things people hang over windows altogether (washing windows - how girly! hanging curtains - real men would never!). In fact, real men probably live in caves with their chainsaws as their only companions, fighting bears and wolves for their very survival, rendering windows and curtains irrelevant.

(Since Ellis is way too dense to get this - guess what! The manly photos of Reagan and Bush II that set your heart a-flutter were just as staged as the photo of Obama hanging curtains at a homeless shelter. I can guarantee that Reagan and Bush spent less time doing "real work" on their ranches than Obama does in homeless shelters. Duh.)

It is probably too much to ask someone who believes that Earth is five thousand years old to engage in any kind of critical thinking process, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

It's dirty work... but you know what Bob says about real men getting their hands dirty. ;-)
