Good article. Manhood and masculinity is a choice. You can either choose to act like a man or a whiny soft little girl.
Tall, short, skinny, fat, I think has nothing to do with it as much people like to believe since a tall, short, skinny and fat dude can be masculine and I have seen it.
Its all about embracing your manhood and masculine traits without shame and being a good man in society; Its not rocket science.
Great answer thank you my friend π
Glad you came they are already ranting about being men
The failures of modern men can be traced to the equality movements - where a man becomes something evil for being himself or pointing to women the obvious that they aren't the same as men. So what happens? Women insist on not being mothers because taking the role of a mother is seen as less than being a top executive.
A kid isn't grown with the love of a normal household. Boys don't become men, and girls don't become women. The cycle repeats. So you should REDEFINE feminism in a way that is natural to women. Most women today don't like the fact that they can be pregnant, they don't like being there for their man, instead they like to be seen as independent - we don't have a family then, and we don't have a society then.
You females contradict yourselves
You only show respect & admiration to those highly aggressive "alpha" males because they look better
Most females from school knew how stoic, confident, I was but I was tagged on for the same exact qualities of the better looking counterparts
I've always been in great shape & a pretty dope student but that was snubbed because I wasn't as attractive
Woman only praise the attractive "masculine" or "aggressive" types
This is just her taste. What she likes. She doesn't represent all women on earth.
@ThisIsMyOpinion
The majority "Low Key" think like the poster
Don't fall for what woman tell you or say
Their crafty creatures & through know it but don't admit it
Girls like a manly man, sure. They also like a partner that ill help in house duty. They also want one that pays for dinner. They also want him to be open about his feelings.
Women want a lot and some things are more important than others depending on who you ask.
Just be yourself and you will attract the right person.
This is the truth of the matter.
@ThisIsMyOpinion yes I'm every woman you did not know that?
Talk is cheap you want men to be masculine again then stop criminalizing masculinity. You women amuse me you'll hop on something like GaG and start criticizing men saying we need to step up. But when one of those crazy feminazis starts putting pressure on politicians to pass laws making such masculine traits illegal. Fact is most of you ladies will say all day that you aren't feminists and that you don't agree with them, but then stay quiet when feminist start behaving badly and hurting men. Your silence is agreement. You want real men back then start putting policing women's bad behavior ladies you have to do it because when men try we go to prison for it.
Uhh I was with you until "pass laws making such masculine traits illegal" what are you talking about
In the UK thier is a law against wolf whistling or cat calling but it's so vaguely worded it basically applies to any unwanted form of communication with a woman.
In California thier is a law against " Financial Abuse" so basically if you are the primary bread winner and you exert any control on household spending you can be arrested for it. And these are just a few examples there are plenty more
Uh... I doubt that
Google it you'll be surprised
I saw the title and thought you were going to bitch about why men are so awful, although you did a little bit. But what can i say? I agree for the most part. But how is all this the failure of men? Men , just like women, have indoctrinated by feminism for the last five decades. You can't blame a guy who accepts what his parents, his teachers, media and the whole society tell him since birth. I call this the failure of feminism and progressive thinking and most feminists are women so it all comes back to you gals. Most of these weak men were raised by women let's not forget that.
What women say they want in a man and what they want are two totaly different things. The ones that complain about toxic masculinity and man spreading really wants guy that will smack their ass and tell them to go make me a sandwich. Don't make me say it again bitch. Lol

What happened? Boys being raised by "single-mothers" who have no business raising boys. Feminism happened which took over the educational system and declared war on boys and literally criminalized masculinity.
When you grow up and are being told that your core being (as a male) is bad, is wrong, is violent, you are "rapist" at birth, you are unjust, you are evil and cruel, your biological drives are "wicked" and "wrong"... when boys begin hearing the above messages from their single-mother, their teachers, the television, advertising, other women and girls... eventually they begin to believe that they are wrong, evil, cruel, unjust, etc.
You want to know what happened to men? Tell the majority of women to look in the mirror, it is you who killed men.
So you are blaming it all on women...
@ThisIsMyOpinion Absolutely.
@ThisIsMyOpinion Women and the complicity of weak men.
I agree that weak men are the reason. But only because they see something that is not there and blame women for it.
@ThisIsMyOpinion Says a weak man.
I am not the one whinning all the time about women like men are powerless.
@ThisIsMyOpinion Men are not powerless. Men are starting to be "woke". Do you realize in 1960 72% of people were married, now it's down to 51% which is a 96 year low in the U. S. A recent study of 15,000 men/women between the age of 21-30 years old (a solid survey) showed that men were 20% less likely to marry.
What does this mean? As women already outnumber men there are fewer men who are eligible to marry (regardless of attractiveness, wealth, social status, etc), just the raw numbers show there are fewer men in the population relative to women and this trend will continue. Add to this that 20% of men (already a smaller population than women) have decided to never marry due to the experiences of their fathers and older brothers; and the sheer number of men willing to marry is greatly reduced.
Why do you think this is? Because women are so wonderful, fair minded, honest, genuine, kind, and modest?
Women hold the keys to the bedroom but men hold the keys to marriage. Men are opting out of marriage which is the smart thing for men to do.
We live in a time where get sex is really easy. Many guy don't want to marry because of this. There are many, specially in the US that think like you to add to the pile. And there you have why men are 20% less likely to get married. Nothing to do with women having less quality or being dangerous.
Assuming that in the US there ins't a REALLY big percentage of guys that actually thinks like you. Well wouldn't be surprised. Most guys here that bitch about women are from the US.
@ThisIsMyOpinion WRONG. The availability of "great sex" does not keep men from committing and marriage. The fact that women have created a three-way marriage with a man, a woman, and the GOVERNMENT; with the government siding solidly with women; this is what makes men weary of commitment.
Marriage for a man is like jumping out of an airplane with a 60% chance the parachute will not open (and you have no reserve). And, even if the chute does open, you still lose half of your stuff and your children.
Give me a single reason why marriage is good for a man?
Yes it does. Many guys don't see points in even having relationships anymore. Let alone marriage.
All those horror stories that you believe about divorce and marriage. More than half of the divorced mothers don't even get child support.
Give me one why it isn't.
@ThisIsMyOpinion I thought I had given reasons not to marry. OK, here are just a few:
-The moment a man says "I do" his odds of committing suicide more than triple!
-The "family" courts are horrifically biased against men, with men getting custody of their children only about 18% of the time.
- Being married does not guarantee a man sex as the wife can deny her man sex as a weapon without consequence, but he is not allowed to seek sex elsewhere.
- As such, when a man agrees to get married he is ceding all of the power in the relationship. He can no longer just leave if the female amps up drama, refuses sex, cheats, abuses, or otherwise acts irrationally.
-Once married a man can be arrested for "domestic violence" with a single phone call. "Domestic violence" can literally happen over the phone if the woman says she "felt in fear". When I was a police officer I was forced to arrest dozens of guys for absolute bullshit DV claims made by women. This is a serious crime who's conviction carries a "moral turpitude" clause meaning you can never own a firearm again, will be barred from many jobs (even though the "crime" is a misdemeanor it is treated like a serious felony), and will probably do at least some jail time... all for a phone call where you called her a "f'ing bitch".
- Divorce will financially ruin a man. Depending on the state, if you have been married for 10 years, you will have to pay your ex alimony FOR LIFE! Think about that. You get married at 25, divorce at 35, and have to pay her alimony for 50 years!
YOUR TURN. Give me a few reasons why marriage is GOOD for men.
- Because he just gained a lot to live by. I ask you to search the same thing but for women.
- In 51% of couples both sides agree that the children are better of with the mother.
- The man can deny sex too. If you think we can't use sex as a weapon too I have bad news for you. She denies sex. Fine do the same and masturbate.
- Why is he ceding the power? You know that a man can do all that you just said right? And statistically speaking women are way more likely to be murdered by their husband and cheated on than the other way around.
- No he can't. In my country last year many women died at the hands of their husbands who had went to the police ask for help many times before. I mean he can if he actually beat her to the point she needs a hospital.
- Again don't pick and chose stories. Reality is more often than not those claims are drooped on lack of evidences.

There you go...
I really hate that this was written by a girl. First of all, don't demean men to justify your shallowness. You have absolutely no idea what's it's like to live with the stress and pressure of being a man. Secondly, diversity is a good thing. We no longer live in a land of Neanderthals where women do not have rights, war is neverending, and life is a constant struggle to survive. So it's kind of a good thing. Lastly, not everyone is the same, or feels the same, or wants to be the same and people should accept that. Quite frankly this society and culture makes me sick, and I'd rather not live in a world like this in the first place. Everyone has a label and a value. It's disgusting and hypocritical.
Where does it outright demean men in this take?
It's sterotyping and insulting.
It's only insulting some men.
Then how about taking your own words where your mouth is and learning to listen to other people opinion. Yes there's a lot that woman dont get about men but the same can be said about men not understanding woman. The mere fact that this article was written by woman should prove that she tried to look at world trought men ayes, yes it was really clumsy, but she tried and thats an rare feat in todays world.
It's reinforced our fucked up belief that people only have value if they act or think a certain way. Everyone is different for different reasons. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. This is fucking hitler shit. If you want to put everyone in a box that fits your perspective of how the world should be go to Nazi Germany. The world needs actors, and poets, writers, scientists, artists. Not every guy on the planet has to be Sargent Mcbadass the pro athlete gangster thug.
Not everyone has to act a certain way I agree with you. I simply agree with her in the sense that some qualities are not so present in men today.
Yeah, but talking shit about men is justified because of this double standard bullshit. If I made a post about how women are becoming more and more obese and need to stop being depressed and get on a fucking treadmill so they don't look like shrek, the comments would be on fire with dudes and feminists. I try to defend guys and it's all: Man up! Stop being a wuss!
@Mezius you want to be a man pay attention to him.
@Mezius why do you even car what a female thinks? A real Man wouldn't get offended, men are not so delicate. Chill out adjust yourself honey
Am I not allowed to have feelings because I was born with a dick? Fuck that. Getting pissed off is manly too. I have a fucking right to be pissed off. How modern day society thinks and views the world is fucked up, and anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my ass.
Do that Take! Do that take saying that and I will go there support you!
I do think men should have higher standards.
Doesn't mean I don't partially agree with her.
And fuck those dudes and feminists trashing you.
You sound like me when I'm on my period angry making 0 sense. Enjoy your evening see you at home
@UncleJessieRabbit he's sensitive. I love men I wasn't slamming them so thank you sir
@ThisIsMyOpinion thank you. No worries I could care less about them.
@Mezius you okay I got you a mydol
I've said thank you 15 times to you. Your to kind @ThisIsMyOpinion
They should have higher standards deserve it
Men started listening to women on how to behave. This 'new man' b*llshit that emerged in the 80/90s and, no offence but they don't understand men enough to go tinkering under the hood. Men went along with this as they want to get laid.
If you ask a guy what's he's looking for in a girl its a short list, ask a woman what she looks for in a man and she will give you a list like the instruction manual of a space shuttle and is liable to change at any time.
This was all very confusing for men hence the crisis in masculinity. Walk into a room and ask all the women to cheer; they will. Ask all the men to do the same and you'll get murmurs, however ask all the boys/blokes/lads/guys and you'll get your cheer. It almost as if 'man' is now a dirty word.
I lived in Asia and there is none of that crap there, women and men have their roles in a relationship and everyone knows where they stand.
My 2 cents.
"Toxic masculinity is just a made up feminist term."
Wrong. The mythopoetic men's movement made up the term in the 80's.
I don't have a problem with men crying, it's as natural as laughing.
I took my boyfriend on vacation, I don't need a man to pay for a date... I disagree with everything on this post
I would say that the biggest problem with men is when their ego goes wild 8)
Being a guy myself, those are the guys I'll definitely also have a problem with :-(
Wanna flexπ
1) They aren't men's failure. It is largely because of poor parenting.
2) Estrogen isn't the female equivalent to testosterone if we take the role of these hormones in-depth into account.
3) "Masculinity isn't toxic" "ladies are known to love bad boys... usually masculine and dangerous" explanation needed for this one.
3) Because "bad boys" display attributes that women find physically appealing and arousing. Reserach has found out that while equalitarian couples are more content overall, gender-typical couples have a way more active sex-life (but also are a lot more hit&miss between being happy beyond just contentness or really miserable).
Women who go after those bad boys simply haven't learned to properly differentiate between the desirable and the undesirable traits.
Or to make it short: A doormatt ain't getting a womans panties wet.
You're welcome wowwgirl
I'm 46 and still have more testosterone than most 20 year old men. My theory is there's something in the food. I have avoided fast food and processed food most of my life. It's not related to low testosterone but some men that were raised by single mothers might seem a little less manly. Nobody is born knowing what it means to be a man. Boys need a father or at least a strong male role model to show them. My dad is old school tough. I've never seen him cry and he says things like air conditioning makes men weak. I was never told what was or wasn't manly. I witnessed it every day growing up. Too many men aren't man enough to raise their own children.
it's not just your theory. endocrine disruptors are ubiquitous in air food and water. the problem is that people like you oppose regulations that combat it
How do you know what I oppose.. I was just trying to eat more healthy food. McDonald's makes billions. Anyone that thinks they're not paying some scientists to make their food addictive as well as making it taste like food is naive. I was mainly trying to avoid getting bitch tits. Nobody is forced to eat anything. A lot of healthy food costs more but you can eat healthy fairly cheap.
if you want pesticide-free food you need to buy organic and that's expensive. bottle water contains BPA from the plastic and there's no way around it but big bad regulations imposed by a big bad government. either you have those or you have poorer health among males
I shared my views on this in my conversations here.
Many guys are talking about a Take about the Modern Women Failures. I would love to see that Take and then go there to destroy every argument there.
If you want make an update and challenge all the guys here to do that Take. If any of them does we will be here to take over it.
I disagree with "happy" being a state induced by testosterone, but I applaud the effort to stick up for masculine men.
One doesn't need high testosterone to act like a man either. I think to better prove your point focusing on the social aspects of masculinity would benefit you.
I don't date a guy or really pay one any attention as a romantic interest if they are not hyper masculine I will run them over
Nice mytake.
I think there's a balance to be found with masculinity and being emotionally connected to their feelings.
Agree
I think they expect everything like it was at home, but thatβs not going to work.
Yeah momma's gone though
Exactly
What do you two mean by that?
@Barbaric if you don't know what that means it's a issue
@devilman666
Yeah, that's kind of why I was asking. Most feminists when they speak against the traditional female role say things like this, and it makes no sense if you expect the man to be more traditionally masculine also. Although that might not be exactly what they meant. "If you don't know it's a problem" doesn't explain much though.
@devilman666 obviously absent father. Speaking of whores how is your mother?
πππ your cute
I've had friends dealing with low testosterone levels. It seems doctors are very reluctant to do anything about it, citing how a wide variation of t levels is "normal" (it seems to be normal *these* days... but "normal" doesn't mean it's healthy). I can't tell you how many of their doctors know their t levels are low, then proceed to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it.
I'm happy to see more people finally speaking about this. The testosterone decline and feminist agenda are really dragging society down. I see so many of my fellow men turning into degenerate sissies, and it's hard to find a proper woman when so many have turned into bull dykes and plain janes. Modern men and women are quickly turning into gender neutral monstrosities and it must be stopped.
Why the fuck are you constantly complaining about modern men? Just the fact that your spending your time writing these mytakes tells me that your not the highest quality yourself. Find the guy your looking for and quit bitching...
Geez.
I can carry 50 kg
Aristotle can carry the earth :(
