A Note to Tucker Carlson on Women Lecturing Men

Dear Tucker Carlson,

You are a highly regarded, respected, and reimbursed, person with one of the biggest platforms in the world. Maybe that’s why you need to hear someone who is none of these things — to get a whole new perspective.

I am so sure you are listening, now!

It’s clear that your message is about tapping into anger. Some of this anger, on the part of mostly, white, working class, disempowered, and often confused men, is justified. Some is fomented like cotton candy out of wispy words and addictive substances.

There is, after all, nothing more attractive than a sweet treat to sooth one conscience, assure you that you are deserving of a reward, and to fill you up with puffy air.

Recently, as I understand it, your extensive white, men’s study research found that women who nag men are the reason we have so many unwanted, violent shooters in the USA. This is why a young man, with plenty of access to high velocity weaponry will likely shoot a lot of people later this week.

It will all be women’s fault. Particularly feminist women’s fault.

Women on the rampage

These clueless women keep harassing their sons, brothers, nephews, fellow students, co-workers and such to stop claiming all the space. Stop being so aggressive. Stop being so racist. Stop being so violent. Stop with all the sexist call-calling, harassment, raping, gay-baiting, and more. You know, stop being so privileged.

These Marxist females won’t let you even use traditional language. They have infiltrated our schools, churches, markets, and jobs with insane ideas, like men should learn to express themselves, control their emotions (especially privileged anger), not be so pushy, and maybe see the humanity of other humans.

I agree that these are all revolutionary ideas.

Please remember, however, that America itself was born of revolution. We, the people, also revolted against limits on civil rights and women’s votes, as well as things like the Environmental Protection Agency. This now castrated idea was originally conceived as something more robust, manly, and with actual grunt to it than what we have now. Ideally, it’s sort of like a police force meant to protect and serve, with courage, strength, and dignity.

Strong, fierce, humanly…

All the things male and female feminists want, then, are strong, fierce, determined, and muscular. It is time to note here, Tucker, that women too, are very much this way.

In fact, maybe you heard? Women and men are now demanding bodily autonomy — we even enshrined it into the constitution.

I do not know how much structural (and menial) housework you do — say chopping the wood — but I know many men and women, like myself, do all these things. We do not have servants or staff.

We also, of course must provide for child-care, driving the truck to market, and hauling junk everywhere all day long. That is, we provide emotional labor, birth labor, and actual labor — most hours of the day, just as every overly-lectured boy and man, like you, I guess, must also do.

We must do the “ hu-manly” work of rugged individualism.

You also mentioned in your (clearly non-lecture) that boys are succumbing to porn, video games, weed, and some of the many things young men could do instead of shooting everyone. But I think your point was more about how we have these things now, not as self-medication, or distraction, but because men have become lazy and weak.

To get this right, are you saying that the lecturing moms are the ones encouraging young males to be online all day, ignore their schoolwork and chores, forget about helping make dinner, and just chill out all day smoking pot and watching porn?

If so, Tucker, I wonder in which country, neighborhood, and house this is occurring.

I do completely understand that the world is a mess right now. I get it that some are very worried about a “great replacement” wherein people of color and women and girls get to have a little room on one’s own.

I just want to assure you, that you will not be replaced. The people you want to activate to fight against tyranny also do not like tyranny anymore than oppressed people like tyranny.

Truly. And, to be completely open about it, you cannot replace sapiens with sapiens, because it turns out we are all included in one big, messy family.

The world “sapiens” is Latin for astute, that is, we are wise to you.
