Masculinity is being snuffed out
I took my dad to the Apple Store because his iPad got damaged from a drop. Wanted to see what the options were for repair (there aren't any), replacement or upgrade.
Here's what I noticed. The employees in the store were either gender neutral androgynous or queer. The Genius Bar representative was a woman working towards becoming a man. Her sleeves were all inked up with tattoos. She had a piercing in her nose and a buzz cut. Why? There was a male employee acting gender neutral leaning feminine with tattoos. The person who helped with the purchase as another lesbian looking woman with tattoos all over her arms, a buzz cut and green glasses frames. Most of the employees were wearing skinny hipster white pants instead of normal pants.
There was a group of 3 men trying to buy a phone. All of them wearing trendy clothes with prominate designer logos splashed on their shirts and backs of their leather jackets. Why are they wearing leather jackets when it's 85 degrees outside? Only one of them spoke English. They paid with cash. Probably drug money. I'm a being judgemental and exhibiting bias. Deal with it.
Other customers were seen with their trendy sun glasses and clothing in drab solid colors with modern tailoring. One lady seemed so put off with the buying experience when interacting with the employee. Just buy your stupid phone and get on with your life. Why does this need to be a melodramatic dramatic interaction?
The world needs masculinity. The world needs real people. We don't need all these eggheads acting like they're better than everyone else or that they are somehow special and need to be catered to and or celebrated.
I'm reminded of the ordinary scene from American beauty. All the people at the Apple Store aren't special, authentic or enlightened. They're ordinary and it's exhausting.

It’s called Gay Pride the”New Normal”! But read Romans Chapter 1. They’ll get a real education when The King of Kings deals with them!😉
