Tears of a Clown by Taki Theodoracopulos

Emotional incontinence has turned men into wimps. The new man has to be caring and unafraid to burst into tears. But I’ve got news for you. It’s all a sham. Good men were and are caring without having to show it. Stoicism and emotional restraint are superior to cheap histrionics. Touchy-feely types are like Clinton, a dime a dozen, and as dishonest as they come.
Taki echoes Theodore Dalrymple.

An oldie from the good doctor: No one tips their cap any more.
