Girls always think they know what it's like to be a man. Silly creatures.
Meh, okay list. Tastes will change. Except the sex thing, bragging about multiple partners is a slut and lack of self control thing, everything else is the mark of a provider.
My money is on this MyTake owner being a teenager, because it has been at least a decade since I believed half of this stuff.
pfft xbox... what is this 2003?
The real men joined the master race.
ayyy it's you again, and so true haha
Just like your last MyTake, this is the written equivalent of a car crash with no survivors.
A real man plays video games?
What has the world come to?
Exactly
so to be a man we have to fit your retarded preferences? I will never be a ''man'' for you lol
None of the stuff you mentioned means "masculinity" to me. I mean playing video games? Are you for real? Sorry I disagree in full with this MyTake.
A gal's take on what it is to be masculine... interesting (done in best "Data" from TNG voice).
I know a few guys like that.
Also, @Noxifer626
You love video games 😚
I have to say that this take is pretty sexist.
@Noxifer626 why?
Well, not all men are like this, and some women are like this.
Additionally, not all men have these traits, and not all women lack them.
Masculine means male person/male sex.
"Being masculine" is a feminist thing. It isn't a thing outside the western/feminist world... and it was never a thing till women's liberation
Im not a feminist but I know masculinity is real...
Every woman should be overwhelmed with shame at the thought that she is a woman..
With what facts back that statement up?
@THEALIster masculinity is not real its a social construct. Female animals can get just as riled up, aggressive and even be considered feared by others. This whole ''man being the leader'' thing is just a society driven thing. there is no ''alpha'' male and a male who is quiet and timid does not make him any less masculine than the guy who is loud for attention. Im not like most guys or girls, I am mature and I see straight through that bullshit
LOL almost no female animals are feared by males... but I know what you're saying...
"Being masculine" is something only women and feminist-trained men are concerned about
No, no it's not, if a woman did the things you claim society considers masculine to you, you'd be unattracted to her. You're just insecure, and want an easy way out without trying to work on your flaws. But real women see through it, it's very unattractive. Now all of a sudden masculine is not just feministe but something made up by woman? Well OK then woman agree, that's what we want!
Nonsense. That's what masculine meant until feminism... stop with your abusive BS, real man wasn't a thing before feminism... and isn't a thing in non-feminist societies
MGTOW is the only way
This must be a troll.. Or you're gay
Anyone who doesn't agree with the FEMINIST agenda is labelled a troll. This is a serious problem.
You have no knowledge of the pre-feminist and non-feminist world... so what are you on about? There was NOTHING like "real man" before this and isn't outside the feminist world. Show me one text before the 20th century that defines what a "masculine man"... I dare you... because there is nothing so WHY SPREAD THESE LIES?
@THEALIster
, ''if a woman did the things you claim society considers masculine to you''
you mean like pay for the first date? Or make the first move? join the army because she is willing to fight for her rights? Having a strong sex drive? being assertive? NOT submitting to me because I am a male? Thats no a turn off, and I look for that in a women. Im not insecure to look for those POSITIVE traits in a women although I do notice when people disagree with your flawed views you insult them. your not a ''real women'' you are just putting up a persona that society has provided you. People like you think you are to ''girly'' to play sports, or I am to ''manly'' to wear pink. When you say things like this you insult women and men because you are claiming that we aren't equal in any sense and we all fit a dense definition. A man is not any less of a man because he chooses to work at a desk rather than a oil rig. there are different kinds of males and the same goes for women.
''LOL almost no female animals are feared by males''
well this is the one thing we disagree on lol. On a insect level I have seen such behaviors of the queen bee being feared but lets take this on a mammal level. The mother wolf is considered just as ''alpha'' as the father wolf and they seem to be equal in power in the pack. There was never a ''alpha male'' thats a misconception. In a real sense ALPHA just means the parents of the family. so if you are a dad or a mom you are feared by your children
@THEALIster also I will never be with a air head like yourself because you literally lack common sense so you cannot even realize how stupid you sound right now. You are the last person to tell ANYONE who IS and who isn't a man. dismissed
Lol don't bring in a fucking insect or give me your nonsense about facts being "misconceptions". I know you're a trained feminazi but try and have an open mind. The vast majority of higher animals are dominated by males. In our relatives (mammals) it's well over 95%.
You've obviously never seen wolves. After the hunt the males push the females aside and eat their share... leaving the females the leftovers... During mating season, the female is treated like an object and males mount her without asking for any consent. If females refuse to comply they are threatened. Even in general males dominate females from time to time as in almost every other species. See below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17KvMk0yJbw
Modern western fanatics are no worse than Christians at one point who tried to enFORCE the view that the earth is flat. LOL
oh boy, so you are one of those people. In no sense did I imply that females are more dominate in general. some species like hyenas, lemurs and the bonobo do exhibit the behavior of dominance within the female group to a further extent opposed to wolves. here are some educational quotes for you to read
''Elephants form deep family bonds and live in tight matriarchal family groups of related females called a herd. The herd is led by the oldest and often largest female in the herd, called a matriarch. Herds consist of 8-100 individuals depending on terrain and family size. When a calf is born, it is raised and protected by the whole matriarchal herd. Males leave the family unit between the ages of 12-15 and may lead solitary lives or live temporarily with other males''
Pioneering primate researcher Amy Parish has spent more than a decade studying bonobos, whose closest genetic cousin is, surprisingly, the human race. Parish’s groundbreaking work shows how bonobos live in a society surprisingly dominated by females, who use gal-pal alliances to exert power. And that puts a revolutionary twist on long-held beliefs about what’s “natural” in terms of sex roles and female friendships. While some critics still dismiss the bonobo matriarchy as a fluke or feminist delusion, Parish and others counter with theory and evidence that show how female bonding works to control individual males despite the males’ slightly larger size. Unlike abused loner chimp females, it’s likely that the bonobo gal gang prevents males from killing the babies of rival males (as other apes do) and allows females to choose their own mates and grab the best food. In the wild, females also hunt and distribute meat, once considered exclusively a male preserve
Killer whale pods are based on the lineage of the mother (mothers, daughters, and sons form groups); the whales live and travel with their mothers even after they are full-grown, forming strongly matriarchal whale societies”
Lions live in a matriarchal society. The lionesses work together to hunt and rear the cubs. This allows them all to get the most from their energy, keeping them healthier and safer. Being smaller and lighter than males, lionesses are more agile and faster. During hunting, smaller females chase the prey towards the center. The larger and heavier lionesses ambush or capture the prey. Lionesses are versatile and can switch hunting jobs depending on which females are hunting that day and what kind of prey it is”
When you see cats mating the male coerces the female by biting if she doesn't comply and even if she does bites her neck while mating to immobilize her
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMmuPx8Yq6c
Watch and learn, indoctrinated feminazi!!
Watch at 0:46 when the beta cat scares her into compliance... lmao
you are way to predictible lol. All you people have the same thing in common. you throw insults and then jump from subject to subject. Let me explain things to you in a more simple way. I never said ALL animals were dominated by females nor did I say all males were the same in fact it varies with species which I have given examples of. There is no refuting that. the fact that you believe in such a unsupported theory such as ''beta'' and ''alpha'' is enough reassurance for your ignorance. I am done here
Well I said 95%+ so that leaves room for a few rare exceptions like bonobos.
Lions are extremely male dominated, this is a well known fact. You're ignorant as hell!! LOL. When a lion takes over a pride he kills the children of the females despite their attempts to stop him. He dominates/scares the females. He then impregnates them without consent. If the female refuses to have sex he starts biting/pushing and the same neck biting as in cats is done. Lions also make the females hunt for them... but when the prey has been killed the male lion comes and the females have to watch him eat his LION'S SHARE, then eat the leftovers.
Elephants live in bachelor groups or alone. Yes the women and children live separately in a herd. When its mating season the male elephant just comes into the herd and pushes around the female of his choice in an attempt to force her to mate... of course he mounts without "consent"
Yes I'm one of "those people" who doesn't comply with the feminist agenda, and rips apart its myth and lies.
I'm not talking about alpha and beta... the terms of feminist society...
I'm talking about the scientific term.
''few rare exceptions like bonobos.''
or like the other species I stated. Bonobos are also closely related to humans
''Lions are extremely male dominated, this is a well known fact.''
people can have their own opinions but not their own facts. Lioness travel in pacts and will hunt other lions and outnumber them. a male lion will probably beat a female on a 1 on 1 though without a doubt.
''When a lion takes over a pride he kills the children of the females''
you do know female lioness also do kill their children too? some are intimated and some fight back, its that simple. to just group species due to certain events is illogical and it really shows how silly your argument is. Also, not even half of the time that happens. The female is more likely to kill her own children before the male gets to it because they will have a better shot with reproducing. I see that you are STILL jumping from individual subjects while not addressing a lot of my points. are you not capable of refuting them
LOL you can state all the species you want, they still aren't the 95%.
Female lions killing deformed cubs or ones she can't provide for doesn't show dominance over males. Sorry to burst your bubble. When the lion is killing her cubs she almost always tries to SAVE them. But she can't stop the dominant lion much of the time.
What do you mean lionesses "will hunt other lions"? Surely you're not proposing that lionesses feed on male lions LMAO. I've also already addressed how lions use them as sex objects while dominating during mating season... and how they treat them like slaves for hunting and then grab their share. Even an adolescent male

So much for your feminazi matriarchal dreams... wake up!!
Chimps are also our closest relatives and they are extremely male dominated. Our species is also male dominated as is evident from almost all recorded history.
Don't you know anything about the pre-feminist and non-feminist world? LOL
you are literally searching up male lion killing female lioness when I can do the exact opposite and post up 10 videos. you aren't fooling anyone to prove a point here. Also, that 95% is a false statistic. Besides, I doubt you know anything about animal behavior with the way you are speaking. There is no scientific term labeled as beta or alpha because it hasn't been proven. a ''alpha'' is a parent and the beta is the child. I gave you perfect examples of animal females in different species not relying on a third party such as a male to lead them and they function properly. There are many lioness out there that hunt and will kill a male lion and there are many lions that will do the same. This is a male thing. The only difference is in the brute strength. There is no psychological factor at play to make a male more assertive. male hormones are just as riled up as a females.
its ALL cultural and nothing more. stop trying so hard to prove nothing
LMAO NO YOU CAN'T!! Go ahead and try I dare you... female lions NEVER kill males unless they're cubs or very old... So you're the one trying to make a fool out of others! I dare you feminazi. Come on!! hahaha you've been totally exposed XD
And along with exposing you for being a typical lying feminazi, I'm going to produce yet another instance of a lioness killed by a lion recently - www.denverpost.com/.../
In the scientific community, there's something called the DOMINANCE HIERARCHY in animals, and the term used for the top ranking individual is ALPHA.
Here's just one example of the thousands of examples of the term being used in the scientific community -- https://science.sciencemag.org/content/333/6040/357
I'll gladly admit that I can't find the 95% number right now... BUT SO WHAT?
Look up the Wikipiedia page "Dominance Hierarchy" and it says female dominance is rare in mammals. Here's a scholarly paper which also says female dominance is rare -- www.rug.nl/.../wh03_behav.pdf . Duke University -- blogs.uoregon.edu/.../Rapps-and-White-1eesm8v.pdf . Here's one from a department of primatology in Germany -- https://www.mpg.de/7458664/bonobos-dominance . Here's one from the American Journal of Primatology - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/.../abstract . The royal society -- rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/.../2291.full.pdf
Even if it's 90% or 85% (now I'm really pushing it) the fact remains that the vast majority of mammals are dominated by males. But take my word for it, it's well over 95% and the only animals are lemurs, hyenas, bonobos and killer whales. That FOUR out of 5000+ mammal species. So even if there are 10-15 or 25 it's not even 1%
Lionesses kill lions? LOL maybe in cuckoo land!! Maybe that's why the lion eats his share while the females get the leftovers, right? XD
You're either unaware or spreading myths just to promote your unscientific "agenda". The latter would make you a VERY DANGEROUS PERSON
If you accept science, and thus, accept evolution, you will have to admit that male dominance IS evolution. Even Darwin taught that women are inferior and less-evolved. DNA analysis also confirms that we men are much more highly evolved than women. www.nbcnews.com/.../
In other words, the scientific fact is that women are much closer to chimps and primate ancestors.
''even darwin''
darwin was wrong about most of his studies, and he actually got the majority of his stuff from his grandfather. Over time the evolution theory has been rewritten and has been corrected to the point where dawrins theory is not even recognizable to modern day evolution. Darwin stated that other races were sub species so im pretty sure his opinion is moot in this situation. now, you argument about animal behavior is just pathetic and even after I gave you examples you are trying desperately to refute it. I won't pay attention to that because its clear who won that argument but you did put up a good argument on the y chromosome and I give you that but its clear that you really dont understand what that really means. The Y chromosome does not vindicate who is more ''evolved'' all it shows is that certain traits in the near future will in fact evolve at a fast rate. Evolution takes a long time to happen. Maybe even millions of years.
and while im on this subject there was a man who was from africa that had a extra y chromosome connecting him to another line of humans. Its very interesting and the topic should be looked into more. Until then, you are just using empirical evidence and not complete proof. You aren't a scientists and there is no test to back your claims up. All you can do is connect the dots and assume the reason behind everything. Im blocking you now because you are annoying me with your multiple comments
I don't refute your facts, because nobody can deny the facts... but you only gave rare exceptions. You were also wrong about lions and elephants to I corrected you there.
What Darwin said has been confirmed by scientific evidence. Women are closer to apes and men are more evolved. Subspecies simply refers to a subdivision of a species, so by that definition he's right... If you look at the definition of "subspecies" on Merriam-Webster (the Encyclopedia Britannica guys) you'll see that it includes race.
Here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/subspecies
Yes of course we've been evolving for millions of years... and women have remained much closer to chimps.
If you read the DNA research it says that men have evolved so much that there's a THIRTY PERCENT difference in the Y chromosomes of men and chimps now. The rest of the DNA makeup is only 2% different from chimps. Women don't have a Y chromosome... so you do the math!!
there is no correlation between race and sub-species. humans alive today are classed as homo sapein sapeins. any scientist will tell you that. also the examples that I gave werent a rarity either. I wish I can block annon users. Please stop with the pseudo science
Before the 20th century, taxonomic divisions were very different. Many classifications such as "Kingdoms" were only in 3 parts... namely Protista, Animalia and Plantae.
So try and understand where Darwin was trying to convey, which is that "Subspecies = Sub + Species". To compare it to 21st century taxonomy is ridiculous.
stop saying darwin because it was mostly his grandfather who is responsible for the theory of evolution. It also does not matter what they were trying to say because their way of thinking was primitive and seen as wrong compared to modern day evolutionists.
www.nature.com/.../ng1455.html
Here's a paper published on the renouned Nature Research's website written by leading researchers from various leading institutions, namely
1. National Human Genome Center, College of Medicine, Howard University
2. Department of Anthropology, Smithsonian Institution
3. Department of Molecular Virology, Immunology, and Medical Genetics, The Ohio State University
It clearly states that "race" and "subspecies" are usually treated in the scientific community as equivalent. Of course it's from 2004 and things may have changed now. Give Darwin a break he was just saying that subspecies are subdivisions of the human species... and aren't races subdivisions? Can you deny that race exists? lol
You're just a FEMINAZI who can't accept the FACT that men are more evolved than women... lol
It's well known that feminists hate facts!!
Darwin wasn't referring to the modern definition of subspecies so please don't falsely accuse him like a woman... he was saying that subdivisions of species are subspecies... and races are clearly subdivisions. His view that human males are more evolved than females has been CONFIRMED BY DNA TESTING.
I have even sourced my claim, so now you have to admit to this fact of life... if not, you should know that you are no different from the barbaric Christian fanatics centuries ago who believed that the earth is flat ;)
I hope you don't believe that the Earth is flat... lol
you might as well believe the earth is flat with the way you are talking. I can deny race because there literally is no such thing and no modern day scientist will tell you otherwise unless he teaches pseudo anthropology (which you are spouting) . There is literally less than a 2% variance of differences between races. By the way, the percentages you are using are false. A women does differ from a male by 30% due to the Y chrom BUT not by specie variation. For example, we are 51.1% related to a banana. Does that make us half fruit? a 2% difference compared to a chimp is still far greater than the 30% difference in regards of a chrom and not specie differentiation. I literally lack the energy and time to keep trying to educate you and at this point you displayed enough of your stupidity for the world to see. Not only do you think races are ''sub divisions'' but you also think that women are closer to chimps. you are a pathetic waste of space. You will not get another reply from me
No that's not what I'm talking about, I don't care what you guys think... You hate feminist ideas but want to be with one lol
@THEALIster I dont want to be with a fem they are a disgrace to humanity along with people like the guy who isn't even man enough to answer this publicly. either you are for human rights or you aren't. Picking a side is stupid
LOL anyway let's not discuss race...
"a 2% difference compared to a chimp is still far greater than the 30% difference in regards of a chrom and not specie differentiation"
You are right, but it still shows that women are significantly closer to chimps. Keyword = Closer
Funny how YOU can claim to educate someone! xD
I mean you claimed that lions and elephants are dominated by their females... even went on to say that you can post 10 videos of lionesses killing lions (something that never happens), then couldn't present a single story... now you are showing how burrhurt you are that women are much closer to chimpanzees and primate ancestors
You yourself said that we are over 50% banana. So even a small genetic variation means a lot. That's why women are vastly inferior to men
"man enough"
Using typical feminazi shaming language... I see...
I fully support gender and racial equality in society... that's exactly why brainwashed products of feminist society like you need to stop saying things like "MAN ENOUGH" ... Would it be acceptable for you to tell a black man he's not "BLACK ENOUGH"? Surely not.
''You are right, but it still shows that women are significantly closer to chimps''
no it doesn't, because specie differentiation has no correlation between the differences in the y and x chromosome. we are still the same specie. no one is ''closer'' to a chimp. We aren't even from chimps in the first place. to be ''closer'' to a chimp as you are implying you wouldn't be a human to begin with. just stop already.
''I mean you claimed that lions and elephants are dominated by their females''
no I didn't, I said animal behavior varies. you are so retarded and incapable of having a logical conversation.
Read the research carefully, it clearly demonstrates that women are CLOSER TO CHIMPS through genetic analysis
I agree with you that 4-5 species are female dominated, instead of male dominated. There might even be 25 but that still isn't even 1% of the 5000+ mammal population
if women were closer to chimps they wouldn't be human, and they wouldn't have 46 chrom to begin with which is exclusive to our species.
Unscientific hogwash. Humans but still different from men. Unevolved humans.
If you read the DNA research it says that men have evolved so much that there's a THIRTY PERCENT difference in the Y chromosomes of men and chimps now. The rest of the dna makeup is only 2% different from chimps. Women don't have a Y chromosome... do the math!!
I was waiting for someone to do this
Being a 'Man' = Self-sacrifice.

Is it manly to kiss another guy when your a guy?
Yes, a real man is not afraid to kiss another guy
I think it is.
Was 'no homo' said prior? If not then thats just gay.
It's manly to stand by your conviction, not let dumba** sluts tell you what they think is masculine. If he likes dudes, women probably won't have a chance with him anyway. I'm not a fan myself, but I respect homosexuals who commit to one sex and stand by them, not this walk the line s***. There is a difference between fags and gays.
I seriously dont like you.
@HulkkSmash why not?
Because the things you write aren't healthy, or artistic. Its very disturbing.
@HulkkSmash fine,
This is a well written my take but I know a few women who have these traits mentioned above. Does that make them masculine? I think not everyone is different.
Better?
No one considers kissing another man, masculine. It's completely contradicting to the definition of the word.
See look, I write very healthy positive things

Okay, now I'm sure: I'm officially not male any more.

Well this is a shitty myTake.
Video games are part of masculinity? That's sad.
Damn I'm not that masculine..
