Do you think conservative men are generally more masculine and tougher and liberal men more weak and soft?

Question

#ConservativeMenVSLiberalMen

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Generally no, but there may be some trends within each group that match this assumption. But no, I've known liberal and leftist men who have a variety of expressions.

Also, would like to point out the toxic masculinity in this undertone. Soft vs tough, masculine vs weak. Here you didn't even bother to hide the fact that you're implying femininity = weakness, which is likely an accurate projection of how you view women. And the idea that a man has to be tough opposed to soft is so dehumanizing and results in many of these types of men being very soft actually - so out of touch with themselves and their own feelings that they often become sensitive in a negative way and passive aggressive. At least the further left you go, there's more dialogue challenging these idiotic gender polarizations and opening up more space for men to be full humans who can be all of these things: masculine, have weak moments, feminine (because lets be real, thats what you really meant by weak), tough, and soft. Who the fuck wants to be dating these stoic men who are emotionally closed off and so tough that vulnerability is a struggle and their strangers to even themselves? I'll keep my ass on the left where I belong. Do not want.

At least with white guys. Liberal white guys are usually the kind of guys who want a girlfriend to pegg them with a strap on or want to be cuckolded by a well hung black guys. Like most hispanic guys actually have conservative values as do a lot of black Christian men.

If we can make it about left vs right instead of "liberal" vs. "conservatives", I don't think it's always so clear cut and dry, but I'd lean towards "yes", at least slightly, and on average.

At least I find the right-leaning philosophy more aligned with classically "masculine" ideals emphasizing individual accountability and responsibility (and sometimes to the point of being callous towards those in needy).

Left-leaning philosophy tends to appeal more to sensitivity and emotions (but sometimes to the point of neglecting the individual responsibility of those in need).

For example, if someone is overweight, a classically "masculine" view of it might emphasize individual responsibility and say that it's their fault. It emphasizes their freedom to choose otherwise. "Man up and put down the snacks, take responsibility for yourself", or something to this effect. Whereas perhaps a more sensitive ("feminine?") approach might say it's not their fault, blame the availability of junk food, and call this a disease. You tend to see this type of dichotomy on issues like these between the left and the right.

Well, let's take a look...

Burt Lancaster, Liberal:

Do you think conservative men are generally more masculine and tougher and liberal men more weak and soft?

Kirk Douglas, Liberal:

Tougher starring in "Tough Guys":

George Will, Conservative:

George H. W. Bush, Conservative:

So, as we see, there are masculine Liberals and less-than-stud-muffin Conservatives.

In other words, masculinity and political ideology are independent of body morphology.

I hate to generalize, as these are just stereotypes, but... yeah I think by and large it's true. I mean, I'm a Liberal and I consider myself pretty masculine but I know a LOT of Liberal dudes who aren't.

One of my friends is an engineer who likes tea and cats and toe shoes and calls himself a Feminist and all that shit. Another is straight up gay and swishy at that. Another is a stay at home dad, which I think is pretty noble but it's not what would be considered traditionally masculine. Another has a lot more female friends than male friends and he isn't screwing any of them. I have several friends who are just fat nerds, and one guy who I suspect is a 40 year old virgin who relates to cats better than he does people.

Then again, I have other Liberal friends who aren't like that at all. One is a Federal Marshall in Arizona. One is a firefighter in Alaska part of the year and a lumberjack the rest of the time. My BIL put himself through law school working as a Sheriff's Deputy in Indiana and he does MMA just for fun on the side. When I was growing up, my mom's best friend was a gay Liberal dude who lived in San Francisco after doing a couple tours in Vietnam as a Navy SEAL. Another family friend is a Liberal and was an Army Ranger in 'Nam. Another is a scientist from Tennessee who has more guns than your average police station, and I have two more Liberal friends who are active duty Army - one is an MP in Germany and the other does God knows what in Iraq right now.

So I guess, at least for me, it's kinda all over the map.

Yes, often it's like that. But there's always exceptions. It also depends on the country. In Scandinavia where the majority are liberals there aren't any differences and there's very mixed among the liberals, but abroad I can definitively see this tendencies.

It's because of conservative people tends to want to keep old traditions like gender roles while liberal people are open to try out new things. In the past men were supposed to be masculine and women feminine, but nowadays the norm is gradually changing and the liberal ideology is part of the change.

Not really. They present it differently though. Like conservative men who aren’t very masculine tend to drift around in khaki pants blending in with the walls.

Contrary to what anon below suggests I’m pretty confident cuckold fetishes are more a think for conservatives. Several people in trumps circle are known to be into it. Obviously still a minority. But it’s conservatives who are obsessed with the fetish and bring it up alllll the time.

Anyway there are masculine guys who are either.

theceejmachine · Answer

Conservative guys are definitely more masculine. Liberal men have allowed themselves to be emasculated by the feminazi agenda.

Tough question because to me masculinity and weakness doesn’t have anything to do with political agendas.

TonyBologna25 · Answer

Absolutely. Look at conservative values and liberal values. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional. Modern liberal men are faries for the most part.

brittslitt · Answer

Hard to say if one is more masculine than the other but I will say trump is more on the masculine side. obama seemed fair when it came to marriage like he sees his wife as his equal. trump on the other hand I dont think he sees Melania as his equal

Ámayas_20 · Answer

Yeah they also tend to be more respectful, decent, ambitious, and family orientated.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

I live in a red state. I can assure you that a lot of conservatives are not masculine. But as a general rule I'd say conservatives are more of the traditional masculine type than liberals but that is to be expected.

The fact that the majority of Navy Seals are conservatives says it all.

MackToday · Answer

Generally speaking especially since in our time the left is so decimated with insane cultural Marxism that it has pretty much ceased to function at all. It's like a limb eaten with cancer.

Jerkface4444 · Answer

Conservative men are prude and more likely to save their virginties or lose it later and that’s pretty fucking feminine, so it evens out.

urlittlepony · Answer

Yes but the liberal men look better, and they are generally more intelligent. They are against radical islam (erdogan) and hijab like me

Craftsman · Answer

Of course Conservative men are more masculine and tougher. I'm a Conservative man, after all.

I am swapping out an engine while a libtard man is getting a manicure. Damn, I sure hope these feminist/nazis love their male liby proteges product.

Liberal men see their girlfriends as people, conservative men see them as their vagina property.
