An enlightened redneck ain’t gonna wear pointy-toed shoes if he’s a he. Melissa Clouthier skewers the latest ill-advised fashion statement of the metrosexual crowd:
Have men become a group of effeminate elves? The shoes curl up at the point. It’s embarrassing for women to wear those sorts of shoes. On men, it takes 50 million years of mammalian evolution to suppress the primal urge to laugh and point. …
Men need to realize: Even if you look like James Dean, pointy toed shoes on a man scream sissy. Draw a line, men, and it better not be with charcoal eyeliner. Don’t give in. Fight the grrl-power onslaught with plaid shirts, well-developed lats, hunting dogs, extreme sports, cigars, poker, and whiskey.
This scary trend, if it is one, reminds me of the lyrics from the Brad Paisley song “I’m Still A Guy“:
These days there’s dudes gettin’ facials,
Manicured, waxed and botoxed.
With deep spray-on tans
And creamy lotiony hands you
Can’t grip a tackle box.
Yeah, with all of these men linein’ up to get neutered
It’s hip now to be feminized.
I don’t highlight my hair, I’ve still got a pair.
Yeah, honey I’m still a guy.
Oh my eyebrows ain’t plucked
There’s a gun in my truck.
Oh thank God, I’m still a guy.
