Bank holiday Monday

We relaxed today.  I went into work to do some telephone work.  In my drive to get fitter, I took a slight detour and I think that my fitness levels may be improving.  After work when home I found that my wife was not as well as she had hoped.  She rested, I ironed and helped her prepare some food that she had cooked.  But I forgot to do it properly.  Fortunately she and my son helped salvage the food.

I also got to go for a walk with my daughter as well as watching Star Wars Rebels with my son.  He loves watching the Simpsons but took time to not watch that and instead spend some time with me.  Rebels is a kids cartoon, but there was a reason cited in one of the episodes we watched as to why stormtroopers cannot shoot properly.  And we had a slight disagreement about how The Clone Wars ended.  I was right, but he will not accept that. All in all, it was a good end to the weekend, so long as my wife is better tomorrow.  

The US right and cucks

I have had an interesting debate with a US lady who supports Trump on Twitter.  Sadly, it resulted in her using her second account to try and troll me.  While I understand that she was annoyed with a poster who I had mostly supported (there were a few posts which I felt were racist and I did point out that I considered them to be unacceptable), it was interesting when she turned her attention to me.  Needless to say, she tried to be more annoying than me, and as my wife said, she was doomed.  My children later agreed with this.

What is fascinating, are the terms that she tried to use to insult me.

One was calling me a beta male.  I actually do not want to be an alpha male.  I associate such a term with a lot of negative issues.  Needless to say, one is heart disease.  There are other issues associated with it.  Growing up, I was given mixed messages about what a man should be.  People would tell me that women wanted kind caring men, but growing up, they were not the men they went for.  Or rather I should say, that alpha males attracted a sort of female and like other boys growing up, we assumed that all women and girls wanted that.        

The other insults were when she called me a Cuck.  What makes this more interesting is the way that one or two prominent Trump supporters are in effect cuckolded.    

One is Roger Stone, who initially denied such things took place, and then later admitted it.  I have no issue with someone being open about the relationship they have with their wife especially when there is no double standards.  

And the other, allegedly is Jerry Fallwell Jr.  Now if this is true, it can be argued that double standards apply here.      

But the term Cuck is one which refers to a man allowing his wife to have coitus with other men.  When it comes to those who support Trump, what do they think of Melania Trump and if she has allowed Trump to have affairs with Karen McDougal, Stormy Daniels and of course, they way he tried it on with the women he had taken furniture shopping.  Is Melania Trump a Cuck or is the behaviour of Donald Trump acceptable as he is an Alpha Male and therefore, something that Melania should not be judged over?
