Jarryd Hayne will have the money, the power, and the glory. I hope he knows the risks.

For my own part I am well endowed.

With intelligence.

Have pursued an unusual career part - devoid of 9 to 5

and have risen to become Australia No.1 (probably only) full time Submarine blogger . Hoovering up open source information is my game. http://gentleseas.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/poland-contemplating-joint-submarine.html

So where this is going is that for renaissance men like moi all this:

"Once again, we are confronted with the idea that being a man is to live a life that is often filled with risk, danger, and the smell of death. Traditionally, a man's life has been about work."

doesn't apply.

And regarding "swimming in shark-infested seas." I don't enter the water between Port Macquarie and the Gold Coast. Too dangerous - full of Great Whites.

It should be "career path" and "Australia's"

"renaissance" was right, but :)

Don't be silly Peter, you've got this one by the tail, not the handle.

The reason for the huge rise in dangerous sports in the western world, in the last 60 years or so, is just the opposite. Life has become too safe, secure & boring for most REAL men.

The days of being trampled while hunting that mammoth for dinner with a sharpened stick, are long gone. Today we are more likely to be injured slipping on the wet floor at the supermarket when we go hunting for dinner.

Men climb mountains, race cars, motorbikes, & oceangoing yachts, jump out of aircraft & off mountains with just a bit of rag to slow their fall, because life is too safe & boring. Men, [& women] go walk the Kokoda track, not because anyone needs to, but for something to do more satisfying than pushing a pen in some office.

Dragging home a couple of hundredweight of Mammoth must have been much more fulfilling than pulling out the credit card to pay for a couple of kilo of cow. No wonder people today want a few risks in their lives. If you think about it, this could explain the explosion of betting shops in our societies.

Women can get their satisfaction giving birth, but watching some woman scream is not all that satisfying, even if you love her, & have a little input to the project.

So mate, it is not activity that is the real danger, it is of being bored to death, or dying of frustration.

Football has been sledged by male-hating feminists for (Jenny) donkeys' years. It is not in the same league as (say) street and mountain bicycle riding, or animal riding, for serious injuries. For some strange reason the feminists never slag motorcycle sports, or the outlaw motorcycle gangs for that matter. It takes a compartmentalised mind and an avoidance of evidence to be a feminist. The narrative that props up all of those fat jobs in academia and the public bureaucracies matters.

Football has been the saviour of many boys and youth, steering them away from gang and drug culture and giving them self-respect and a loving family as well. With the loss of the family and the trend towards fatherless homes they desperately need the last mentioned, family - the bonding and sense of belonging and being needed that comes from football and other team sports.

As well as that, football and other team sports deliver and enforce boundaries - reasonable, understandable and relevant boundaries - that are so lacking in the life experience of many boys (girls as well).

It is not being loved, not having boundaries and a lack of reasonable, measured means to take risks and enjoy their bodies and life and to develop that hampers and harms boys.

Schools ban games of 'Red Rover' and other ways that boys could let off steam. After countless years of safe adventuring for boys, the nagging, interfering feminists leaned on the Scouts to allow girls as members - just because (but boys were excluded from Guides). Then the Scouts lost their small axe, their 'open carry' (?!) knife and their staff.

If a boy climbed a tree in a park there would be complaints to the Council and two or more boys mucking around on bikes in a park would probably call for intervention too.

Being a boy is a danger to a child's mental and physical health, that is true. Just check the lack of success of boys in education and wonder where it all went wrong. It wasn't because of football that is for sure.

I suggest to all men that they should take a daily dose of the red pill by subscribing to Sandman's YouTube channel. Those that do will get a much better understanding of gender issues.

Sandman does an excellent job at explaining MGTOW. The YouTube channel will also help you learn to identify the manginas in society, in the media etc. They are becoming increasingly present in events like domestic violence industry campaigns by taking on the roles such as White Ribbon ambassadors and we seeing more and more male sporting personalities being turned into manginas

Those "manginas" are certainly suspect.

So I looked up Lumbersexuals vs Metrosexuals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urUKvmcWBZQ

There is no hope for mankind. Red blooded males are few and retreaded/divorced woman appear to crave eHarmony dweebs with smug smiles and Bill Shorten T-shirts.

Maybe women are wising up! Oh I hope not.
