One of the strangest things about society nowadays is how upside-down mainstream views are portrayed in the media. For the most part, a traditional choice is looked down upon as being somewhat boring or irrelevant. For instance, those who make different choices regarding sexual orientation are often praised for coming out and telling everyone about it--to the point where schools and employers will see it as a plus just for stating that you choose another orientation. It is pushed as tolerant, accepting, and progressive. Also, if you disagree with those life choices, you are a closed-minded, gun-wielding bigot who refuses to adapt to the times.
But it doesn't stop at sexual orientation. The feminist movement has been pushed to the point where any sort of male pride is equated to chauvinistic masculism. It's challenging to find a show or movie that portrays a man as a leader--intelligent, passionate, loving, strong. Instead, the woman is always picking up after the man and cleaning up his messes in life. Well, it seems that this country has conceded to feminists, and it has now gotten to the point where, for every 100 women in college, there are only 77 men. Society got what it asked for--women leaders, emasculated men. That's "equality," right?
And that's where the word "tolerance" becomes a mask for what's really going on--liberal agendas surreptitiously infiltrating society. It is truly scary to see what the next generation will have to deal with. I am hopeful that the flaws of the current system will be self-evident, and perhaps a correction will result, where men can freely be men, and women freely be women.
