Between normalizing “the nazi next door” and ten year-old boys wearing makeup, I am beginning to think the editors and journalists at The New York Times are eating way too many holiday disco biscuits. First, NYT profiles Ohio native, Tony Hovater, in their piece “A Voice of Hate in America’s Heartland” in which Hovater, a self-proclaimed Nazi-sympathizer, talked about married life and having a family whilst eating wings at Applebee’s and making “casually approving remarks” about Adolf Hitler. Then, they provide an “edgy” view on boys in makeup. Darleen highlighted this piece here. But that wasn’t all. The NYT issued yet another gem in their Opinion section this weekend entitled, “The Unexamined Brutality of the Male Libido”.

Subscriptions were canceled even though this was not the first time The New York Times made mention of Hitler:

On August 20, 1939, the New York Times wrote an article profiling Hitler’s daily life in his mountain chalet, featuring such details as, “Though Hitler is a strict vegetarian and teetotaler, he is not indifferent to meals.”

And, apparently, this ten year-old boy is taking Instagram by storm (and his mother is where?!):

But the Unexamined Brutality of the Male Libido?! This was the Cool Whip to my pecan pie today (and further proof that the folks at the New York Times are off their rockers).

“A healthy sexual existence requires a continuing education, and men have the opposite. There is sex education for boys, but once you leave school the traditional demands on masculinity return: show no vulnerability, solve your own problems. Men deal with their nature alone, and apart. Ignorance and misprision are the norms.

Which is how we wind up where we are today: having a public conversation about male sexual misbehavior, while barely touching on the nature of men and sex. The (very few) prominent men who are speaking up now basically just insist that men need to be better feminists — as if the past few weeks have not amply demonstrated that the ideologies of men are irrelevant.”-Stephen Marche, The New York Times

Men need to be better feminists?! Is this guy for real? And, seriously, has he sat around and chewed the cud with a bunch of “feminists” as of late? I would love to be a fly on the wall when those conversations go down!

In light of the sexual misbehavior that Marche claims to be the product of a “lack of continuing education” when kids leave schools and men being “bad feminists”, I would beg to differ that there are other reasons why we are at this juncture today. For one, there’s a little thing called respect that is taken completely out of the sexual equation. Sure, boys have sex education and girls do, too. But once these kids leave school, boys in this case, they are not left in the woods to fend for themselves, “alone and apart”, as Marche claims. They go on to their families and either their families discuss sexual norms with them and what this all means or they refrain and these kids are left to their own devices on the Internet, television, music that refers to women as “bitches” or “hoes” and video games that allow them to steal cars and solicit prostitutes at the same time. Perhaps a young man’s father watches porn and a child gets a hold of his collection. Perhaps the male in the household is disrespectful to the mother figure on a daily basis. All of these behaviors are far more instrumental in dictating an unhealthy sexual existence and a man’s propensity to sexually violate a woman. Marche has this wrong. It is not the school’s responsibility to educate boys. Nor is it the government’s job to do so. This molding, this shaping, ultimately takes place in the home and there are decent men out there who don’t want their kids to turn out to be scumbags like Harvey Weinstein.

“If you want to be a civilized man, you have to consider what you are. Pretending to be something else, some fiction you would prefer to be, cannot help. It is not morality but culture — accepting our monstrosity, reckoning with it — that can save us. If anything can.”-Stephen Marche

Hear that, guys? You are all monsters. You pretend to be caretakers, breadwinners, protectors, devoted husbands and fathers, responsible, hard-working human beings but this is all fiction to make yourselves feel better. Check that libido at the door!

There you have it, folks. The New York Times. Equating nazi sympathizers with Conservative, blue-collar, middle America because Conservative, blue-collar America equates with hate and therefore anybody can be a nazi (yeah, we caught that), normalizing little boys in make-up (which, of course, would not appeal to any readers who may be in their pedophile demographic) and offering tips on male castration. Who-eee! They really need to lay off the spiked Eggnog over there.
