A creepy cult-like man, plus dirty skyscraper action!

According to Elder George, writing for Mens' News Daily, feminism is evil and all western men are pussies. I'm going to mostly ignore that particular essay, because I refuse to take anything seriously if it includes the sentence "Feminism is an effect such as malnutrition, diabetes, and cirrhosis of the liver; they are all symptoms, not entities unto themselves." (Uh, I'm betting that any of the several people I know who are diabetic would disagree with you there.)

But this guy intrigued me, so I set about on some Google-fu, and I'm fairly positive that this is his site. Creepy and cult-like, definitely, and also:

It changed the classification on income tax returns from "head of household" to "Joint return." This seemingly innocuous change in essence said the man is no longer in charge of his family. How can any structure survive if there is no one in charge?

For some reason, this made me laugh. He also has an essay on his site entiled "The Land of the Smoldering Vagina".

Within five weeks of the World Trade Center incident, five different men and women said to me, "The phallic symbol of America has been cut off."

Isn't it possible that more than anything that's a reflection on they type of people who talk to you than anything else? Also: it's in a way true. I can certainly think of skyscrapers that are more phallic than the WTC towers were (excessively so, even), but there's really two ways of analyzing the sociological implications of skyscrapers. The first is that as modern technology evolved and improved communications and transportation, men found themselves with more and more competition, often in brand-new technological fields. Therefore they felt pressure to prove their virility to attract mates in new ways: accumulation of material wealth, glamour and fame, and building grotesque glass-and-steel exagerations of their reproductive organs.

The other way to look at it, of course, is that as medicine modernized and farming became more mechanized, more people moved into cities, and very soon the only place to expand in places such as London and Manhatten was up.
