Apologizing for being men

This video of men apologizing for being men circulated a few months ago. You have to see it to believe how shrinks are neutering the modern man. Here is a sample of the transcript:
A Manifesto for Conscious Men

Dear Woman:

I come to you today as a man committed to becoming more conscious in every way. I feel deep love, great respect and a growing sense of worship for the gifts of the feminine. I also feel deep sorrow about the destructive actions of the unconscious masculine in the past and present. I want to apologize to you and make amends for those actions, in order to bring forth a new era of co-creation with you. ...

I honor your intuition and your profound capacity for feeling. As men, we have often devalued feeling and intuition in favor of a view dominated by data and logic. This way of being seemed necessary to move humanity beyond superstition and animalism, but in the process we lost much of the heart of life. ...

As a conscious man I am willing to feel those hurts fully within myself and release them. I forgive you for any ways you may have acted unconsciously, as I forgive myself and my gender for our own waking sleep.
I am not sorry to be a man, and there is nothing wrong with masculine thinking. It seems to imply that only effeminate men are conscious. That is crazy. Effeminate men are the least conscious about the world.

never mind, I just read it on FB and looked them up. How pathetic they are. But I guess they gotta eat somehow so this sells in the Oprah Winfrey circuit.

I'll follow Otis Redding's advice of "Try a Little Tenderness" over these two castrati any day. Isn't it men who write the bulk of love songs and poetry, anyway? Take a look next time at your favorite love songs and check out the gender of the writers. Yup, 9 times out of 10 it's men. We ain't all heartless thugs. And it can be done w/o handing over your testicles, too. Unlike what these two fools are advocating which is twisting overly simplified stereotypes of gender based behavior, which aren't exactly hard and fast.
