My colleague, Annie Holmquist, discovered some
statistics about the decline in masculinity that have troubled me since
the moment I looked over them. Here’s the key part of her piece:
“In recent years, a mildly trending topic of
discussion has been the question, ‘Where have all the men gone?’ While
there are a number of theories as to the answer, a British survey just
released by YouGov may shed some light on the issue.
Among other things, the survey asked participants
about their impressions of the word “masculinity” and found a surprising
generational gap:
‘Both young men and young women have a lower
opinion of 'masculinity' than older people, but young men are harsher
critics of the concept than young women. In contrast, the majority of
young men (58%) have a positive impression of 'femininity', as do the
majority of young women (55%).
Overall 'femininity' has a net positivity
score of +56 compared to +44 for 'masculinity'.’”

"WHERE HAVE ALL THE COWBOYS GONE?"
PAULA COLE
Oh, you get me ready in your '56 Chevy.
Why don't we go sit down in the shade?
Take shelter on my front porch.
The dandelion sun's scorching.
Like a glass of cold lemonade?
I will do the laundry
If you pay all the bills.
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Why don't you stay the evening?
Kick back and watch the TV,
And I'll fix a little something to eat.
Oh, I know your back hurts from working on the tractor.
How do you take your coffee, my sweet?
I will raise the children
If you pay all the bills.
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
I am wearing my new dress tonight,
But you don't, but you don't even notice me.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
We finally sell the Chevy
When we had another baby,
And you took the job in Tennessee.
You made friends at the farm
And you join them at the bar
Almost every single day of the week.
I will wash the dishes
While you go have a beer.
Where is my John Wayne?
Where is my prairie song?
Where is my happy ending?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where is my Marlboro man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lonely ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!
Yippee yo yippee yay!

ReplyDeleteThat song is the most un-Alpha feminized crap I've ever heard.
ReplyDeleteAnd it still is, since first hearing it as
a youngster twenty years ago.
Moreover, the last thing Paula Cole
has ever wanted is a 'Cowboy.'
The only husband she ever had is
a moroccan muzzie named hassan hakmoun.

DeleteHa! :) Never heard of her or the song until this evening. :)
