The end of Irish Manhood!

Waestrel

Up where I live, in oh-so-fashionable-but-tragically-pretentious South Dublin (or SoCoDu according to some) i have of late noticed a certain trend towards douchebaggery in the young that i had not previously spotted. Before, when I was young - being from Dublin 16 meant aspiring to go to DIT and do engineering with "the lads" - now it seems to be a prerequisite to being a bumboy. Weak, weedy young men with no ability to fix a puncture or crap in the woods, too used to "delicate" hobbies such as French horn and soft touch schooling which resulted in too few beatings during the formative junior cert years.

Everywhere is infested with scensters, and poseurs, emos and metros. With Skinny jeans hanging around their arses, A pair of converse high tops, hair screwed on to their heads and a pair of black rimmed glasses, they are the arbiters of cool in post Celtic Tiger Dublin. Ambition do not usually involve going to UCD for Orts, as that is too mainstream, rather the attraction lies in animation, media and other limp wristed quiche eating courses.

What is to be done about this? When the zombie wars erupt we will need to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with real men, those who can lobotomise a living dead with a well timed crack of a hurley,- instead we will have the company of girly men raised on x factor who think the zombies look like Jedward. What will we do? Their delicate nature will sell us all to ghoulish oblivion!

Would you ever grow f***king up and stop judging people.

All these pretentious kids see themselves as middle class these days, the ability to change a tyre or any other manly function are viewed upon as a job for the working class grease monkey.

Well I certainly hope its not the end of Irish manhood, penises are very important!
Also what's wrong with a skinny jean wearing, x factor loving, arty emo? Are you perhaps jealous of their coolness? I doubt it. Give me a big rugged man any day.

Since when were Engineers associated with manliness and masculinity as opposed to that of been scrawny, ackward. bespectacled and goofy nerds and eggheads obsessed with star trek, Japanese animation, comic books in their time. Might like to rethink that one, even if the rest of your post makes some good points.

Only scensters, poseurs,emos and metros talk about zombies.

I'm from Dublin 16, do engineering in DIT, don't fit into skinny jeans, fixed plenty of punctures and have my escape to the Hellfire Club planned in great detail should a Zombie Apocalypse happen tomorrow.

The 21st of December is near, that should sort the men from the boys.

I love it, keeps me entertained during lunch at work.

I propose a new system where at the age of 15, a male recieves 5 man cards. For every act that goes against being a man, they lose one. If they run out of man cards, they are forced to live the rest of their life as women, wearing dresses and skirts and forced to work in the kitchen. That should solve the problem of today's youth.
