June 1st, 2014 The Rise Of The Brony And The Death Of The American Man By Phil Elmore Share on FacebookTweet The birth of the "Pajama Boy" meme, part and parcel of the debate over the government takeover of healthcare in the United States, underscored an important trend in our nation. This trend was NOT the increasing "juvenilizing" of the American male, a trend that has seen expanding numbers of grown men return home to live with and leach off their parents. Rather, it was the increased AWARENESS of the trend-a growing understanding that "Pajama Boy" and his ilk represent a category of male one will encounter in day-to-day life. But "pajama boy" is a feeler, a tendril, a probing tentacle of a greater mass of cultural foolishness The nucleus of the cancer is found in the "brony" phenomenon (and movements like it). The reason it is a problem is because it facilitates the deconstruction of necessary social gender roles. Stated another way, there are (or were) social rules for how men and women are to behave. When men adhere to these rules, when they conduct themselves according to these social guidelines, they enjoy more success overall. They appear and behave as if they are worthy ofrespect, of treatment as adult men, of female attention, of reproduction and families.
