Jeremy Egerer . . . "The major difference between the last time this happened and the present is that today's invading "barbarians" call masculinity machismo, and our deviants are considered by our intelligentsia not as deviants, but as moralists.

And they are getting what they want – almost. They're getting it from the authorities, from their professors, and from the president. Whom they are not getting it from (if they are straight) is everyone they really want to have sex with, because the people they want to have sex with are having sex with people who are sexually attractive." . . .
