We may sometimes look at the way Hollywood has changed over the years and wonder why they have made such big changes. It seems as if we aren’t the only ones who are wondering about this, as at least one actor is speaking out about it.
It came out in an article entitled: “Let’s Make Hollywood Manley Again.” He claims that there has been an anti-man campaign going on in Hollywood for the past two decades, and he isn’t happy about it.
Some people argue the point that there are plenty of manly characters in the superhero movies that have been out in recent years. They have been dominating the industry recently, but he feels differently.
He said that we are looking for a man we would want our sons to emulate and our daughters to date on the screen these days. He said that society today seriously misunderstands masculinity.
He also said that men have a problem with being merely due to alcohol, drugs, video games, pornography, and other types of entertainment. He didn’t back any of it up with hard facts.
“In reality, America today needs warriors; protectors; responsible and committed fathers,” he penned. “We need men who will raise their kids, defend their homes, provide for their families, and serve self-sacrificially – all of which is impossible if they are dissipated and addicted to pleasure.”
In his estimation, Hollywood should be providing heroes for boys.
Many people are not happy with his statements and they feel that it was over the top and not in line with the way people are these days.
Things like this are always open for debate, and I guess it will be interesting to see where this one goes.
