"Send it!" says Zuck!
The tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, once the plaything of the left-leaning Biden admin and an avatar of the soft bellied liberal man, has pivoted hard right after being inducted into manhood via surfing, jiujitsu and kick boxing.
“A lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered,” says Zuck, of his transformation. “I have three sisters, no brothers, and three daughters, and no sons. I’ve been surrounded by women my whole life. The masculine energy is good. Society has plenty of that, but corporate culture is really trying to get away from it. I think having a culture that celebrates aggression a bit more has its own merits that are positive and having a thing (MMA) that I can do with my guy friends is good.
“The intent on all these things is good. If you’re a woman going into a company, it may feel like it’s too masculine and that there’s systems that are set up against you — but I think these things can always go a little far. It’s one thing to say we want to create a welcoming environment for everyone, and its another thing to say that masculinity is bad and its toxic and we need to get rid of it.
“Both of these things are good. You want masculine and feminine energy. But I do think the corporate culture has swung towards being a neutered thing.
“I didn’t feel this until I got involved in martial arts. It just turned on a part of my brain that made me say okay, this was a piece of the puzzle that should have been there, and I’m glad it now is.”
His masculine energy was on full display with a foil-surf sesh near his Kauai home recently. Although Zuck, who is forty, is careful to remove himself from the waves well before they break he still managed to gather enough clips to thrill a who’s who of surfing.

The times are a-changing, as they say.
For better or worse? Dick or pussy?
I’m of the former camp although won’t be surprised if it turns out to be the latter.
