Dwyane Johnson aka The Rock: The Sad Reality


    When i was younger, I used to watch WWE wrestling i was a huge fan of  the Rock - The most electrifying man in show business. This guy had the charisma that so few lack nowadays in almost everything on television. He carried wrestling throughout the early 2000's before is suffered a massive decline, which is even worse now since the mysterious deaths of many wrestlers and the association with steroid usage.

After he decided to leave wrestling and pursue a hollywood career, I was highly disappointed. When he first started, he did movies that stayed through to his image. He played a warrior king, a bounty hunter, a tough sheriff, a football coach etc. Then a couple years ago he started acting in Disney movies, which brings us to his latest role as the Tooth Fairy.

Granted this might just be a phase, and he might come back once again and remind us of how tough he is and all, but to be honest it is a sad reality of the times we live in. People admire men, who play roles that feminize them, on and off the Television Screen. I mean this is a wrestler, a former football player, who is playing a tooth fairy in a movie, this is not as funny as a lot of people think.

Dudes are wearing skinny jeans, carrying purses, and will soon will be wearing skirts (All it takes is one rapper!) I was at Target today, and I was walking around in the book section, and I came to the Realization that 90% of the books were written either by or for women. We are so caught up with the glorification of women that we have literally downgraded ourselves. And what has this lead to: According to Time Magazine, women that are more dissatisfied and unhappy than they have ever been. Even Feminist are complaining about how easily they are dominating men. No wonder simps are singing songs like Trick'n.

  The only visual of a man today is a chiseled body who is overtly emotional, or one that will sit with his girl and watch the notebook.

I just hope that we as man can do better in the near future

    Sorry to burst ya bubble, but he been doin Disney movies cuz families movies make the most money! The 3 biggest money making genre's are: Family flicks (thats at least 2-5 tickets per family), Summer SciFi/Action Blockbusters, and Comedies. He tends to sign up for those 3. I aint fellin watchin my man in a dress either but I understand the reasoning, he wants to be more marketable by branching into different markets

    Well President L.Davis I don't believe that the post is necessarily talking about the rock although you do prove facts. I believe the post states more of an opinion towards men not showing masculinity.
