Flip Flopping. Though Keith decides that he has vigorously defended the state of his manhood, I still hold my charge that it is no longer manhood he embraces, but tenny bopper girldom. Keith plays to the sympathies of the audience, comparing his love for Kelly Clarkson to a man who goes to the opera because he sympathizes with his wife. He sets himself up to be the noble gentleman, which of course is still manly. But Keith's use of an not-so-obligatory (hypothetical? really?) trip to the opera as a comparison to his passion for the Kelly Clarkson CD is not, in fact, a good analogy. In fact, Keith says:
" After deciding that I actually like the new Kelly Clarkson song on the radio, I decided to listen to her new CD. My confession is that I love this CD. I love it so much in fact that I'm listening to it currently. It's a cross between Kelly Clarkson, Pink, and Avril Lavigne ..."
Keith not only likes the CD, he LOVES it, indicating that he has cast his manhood off and fully embraced the girl inside of him. Note also his references to Pink, and Avril, two other groups that no red blooded man should listen to. This inference to other horrible artists implies an affinity for their music, thus an affinity for not-manness. Manhood debunked!
