Real men don’t care what others think. Real men make tough decisions. [I]t looks to me like women in general, and the women whose educations I am responsible for in particular … aren’t just bad at behaving like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks. They are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards, even a little bit, even temporarily,...

Real men don’t ask; they tell. Real men are dominant. DALET: I like that you talked about your grandmother, but when you need to be a man, are you okay putting your foot down and letting me know that hey, this is the way it’s gonna be because of this reason? Conveyor Belt of Love, Season 1, Episode 1, January 4, 2010.

Real men are not caring. Real men are protectors.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: So President Obama was quick to claim that it cost U.S. taxpayers a billion dollars for every thousand soldiers sent to Afghanistan, remember this? And he has yet to mention how much it costs to send a soldier to Haiti. He has not even—in fact, it didn’t even matter to him. But it was a factor in sending soldiers to...

Real men are not women.

Real men impose discipline. “At a certain point, talking [with Iran] is counterproductive rather than productive because time is not on our side,” [Sen. John Kyl (R-AZ)] said, adding later that “the carrot approach does not work with these people.”

Real men are not caring. “[Ayn] Rand’s political philosophy remained amorphous in her early years. Aside from a revulsion at communism, her primary influence was Nietzsche, whose exaltation of the superior individual spoke to her personally. She wrote of one of the protagonists of her stories that ‘he does not understand, because he has no organ for understanding, the necessity,...

Real men are not caring.
“While driving back from the speech later that day, Bush mentions Karla Faye Tucker, a double murderer who was executed in Texas last year. In the weeks before the execution, Bush says, Bianca Jagger and a number of other protesters came to Austin to demand clemency for Tucker. ‘Did you meet with any of them?’ I ask. “Bush whips around and stares...

Real men make tough decisions. Real men are aggressive. Real men are not caring. Real men are not sensitive. Real men don’t care what others think. “Obviously, we are gratified that the Iraq strategy we have long advocated … has become the policy of the U.S. government, because we believe it is the right policy for the country and the world. But we feel no joy and little...

Real men are good at sports. Real men are not women. HANNITY: And much was made of President Obama’s wimpy first pitch a few weeks ago at the All-Star Game in St. Louis. Now, we went back in our archive and we took a look at past presidential pitches. For example, here’s George W. Bush throwing out the ceremonial pitch at game 3 of the 2001 World Series, bearing a startling...
