Because men are more powerful so they get to decide the status of women in any society. The dominating gender leads and submissive one is basically at the mercy of that gender.
I agree.
@Changed_Person do you really think this? Is this only true for USA? How about the UK?
Look at various countries. How the men treat women decides what their lives are like.
Men are physically and emotionally stronger so it's a man's world.
Lol@emotionally, that men are not.
Only to men. Girls have their own.
"Ack don't be such a tomboy!"
"Dick!"
"Eww! that's only for boys!"
Honey, because it IS negative for a man to possess them. They aren’t used in a negative manner when referencing women, so why does it matter? No, stop acting like such a victim and everything needs change. You really think the world would be a better place if men stop talking like that? Snowflakes will just find something else to whine and complain about. Utopia doesn’t exist, and it never will. Get over it.
And the disgusting irony is women deep down despise men who act this way even more than other men do. When guys act that way what how do women usually treat them? Do they respect them as real men? Fuck no. They see them as women with penises. In romantic situations they almost always friéndzone them.
Why women keep asking for something they really don’t want is beyond me.
It’s not negative for a girl to have female qualities. It’s a outdated way that men used to toughen boys up. In modern western society both masculinity and femininity are under attack.
Because them are meant to be put downs on men.
Kinda like when a guy says this to another man
Man up you little bitch, what you want to be a fucking pussy your whole life. Now get up and grow a fucking pair. You fucking sissy
To humiliate men and encourage them not be timid and shy as woman's nature is to be reserved.
Men simply can't be that way in terms of being reserved.
It will destroy them nor will they ever develop into manhood being reserved.
Who said it’s a woman’s nature to be shy, timid and reserved?
Most women nature is be reserved. Let's not act like it's not.
According to who?
You? Because we already know your racist… being sexist wouldn’t be a surprise either
History shows it. Why you think most women don't approach men first?
Historically women were seen and treated as property… why do you make it sound like you think that is a good thing
I didn't say that nor do I endorse that philosophy.
Welll that's what it sounds like
@Subarugirl don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic?
@roaring20sman this guys is a blatant racist.. so no...
@Subarugirl I’ve been on G@G for awhile and have seen a lot of his comments and I never came to that conclusion. Did you have a different encounter with him? And who exactly is he even being racist to?
@roaring20sman: She wants to force me to agree with black man and white woman or any non white women relationships and them reproducing with them which I don't.
I believe black men genetically have inferior physical phenotype and undesirable traits to mate with destroying and causing physical regression of another better physically looking ethnicity because of that she calls me a racist.
I tried to explain to her a racist hates other people simply because of their skin color and ethnicity which I don't but she won't listen.
@roaring20sman I think he answered that question for you
"I believe black men genetically have inferior physical phenotype and undesirable traits to mate with destroying and causing physical regression of another better physically looking ethnicity because of that she calls me a racist. "
He says right there that he thinks that black people are genetically inferior...
@Subarugirl: To mate with they don't have desirable traits. Why you think black men are always chasing non black women to be with?
It's because many of them they consider themselves physically undesirable and believe non black woman can enhance his family beauty but in turn will destroy the family of better physical phoetype of the other non black person they mate with.
You’re a racist pig
Don't get mad at me for saying the truth. The immense majority of black men isn't loyal to the black woman.
Give him a option of a black woman and non black woman and he will choose a non black woman to be with because he himself considers himself physically inferior looking and his black women as well.
And you're miss piggy. 🐷
I don’t tolerate racism
@Subarugirl look I understand where you’re coming from. I don’t agree with those opinions, however that is what it is. It’s his opinion. Starting an argument over it on a social media platform is just a waste of energy… you’re not going to change his opinion with name calling…
@roaring20sman it’s not really name calling though if it’s true, the pig statement was a over the top I’ll grant you that but sexist fits like a glove
@Subarugirl call it whatever you want to call it. All I’m saying is you don’t fight hate with hate. People who hate have baggage and throwing insults or names at them isn’t going to change their opinions, it’s just going to add fuel to the fire. As with me, I could care less. It’s their life, not mine so I can’t tell them how they should live it.
@Subarugirl: Get off your moral high horse. You're aren't no saint.
I’m no saint, but I also have no tolerance for racism or sexism
Yeah whatever. I don't care.
Obviously...
It's used to imply lack of Intensity, Courageousness and overall masculinity, those words just continued being used over a long period of time pretty much like calling someone a dick for being overly aggressive
Cause women are weaker by nature and think with emotion and feeling. Like when her son breaks an arm goofing off , she is like oh my baby , you ok. Man is like great , he won't make that mistake again.
Only negative if one man is telling another man that. Since men are built for strength and fighting, if he is like a girl he would be weak. Truth be said I would think if a woman was told she was like a man it would be the same.
MM well i guess this could be link back to the 1900s where movies would talk about how women in general wouldn't fight, instead they just run and scream. of course this could go back even farther
actually there have been more examples of women being strong though out history than weak... hell in Rome they had armies made up of homosexuals and women were who died in child labor were horned the same way men who died in battler were.
well I honestly don't know where this comes from but when you find out, i like to know
Because Society has deemed the only right way to do things is as a man.
And at a DNA level masculinity is what women deep down respect and feel attracted to. No matter how much they say otherwise it’s what they really want at an instinctual level.
Being masculine doesn’t mean being a violent controlling asshole (although sadly some women do mistake that as masculinity too). It’s not easy to define but it’s about purpose, grit and being brave.
Straight men who have feminine characteristics are put into a horrid trap here. Women tell them that “oh that’s okay” or even “that’s good”. But the ugly truth is deep down women don’t respect them as real men. They see them as other women. That’s why these guys usually get friendzoned because women assume these guys think like women and it’s fine. It’s actually the absolute the worst thing that can happen.
@globetrotter22 that’s a lot of words for “I’m sexist”
@Roguehoneylife and you are proving my point. Is that short enough for you?
@globetrotter22 proving your point that you’re sexist yep
Women are the weaker sex and men are superior to women in almost every way in terms of physical prowess.
Sexism is shittyThe only one that might be explainable is the last one, as girls are usually weaker than men. But in my case is probably not the case
Ever worked in a nearly 100% female job and then transition to a 100% male job? I have and understand why now.
Yeah… I taught swimming lessons now I work at a car dealership…
Probably because society doesn't like it when men act feminine. Society likes their men strong and confident, not dainty and insecure.
Apparently they want their women to act more like men too..
Who's "they"? Society or men?
well when masculinity is a compliment and femininity is used as in insult, it's pretty obvious that femininity is considered an undesirable trait.
I think you're over-simplifying things. Femininity is not an undesirable trait, especially in women. It's less desirable in men.
Men are stronger than women. I'm talking physically. This is a simple fact. So for example, a guy who plays a contact sport like girl would mean he has poor performance.
Kind of shitty, but that's the idea behind those comments.
For 1000s of years, women were seen as inferior, things change slowly. A few of them will stay, men are stronger than women, so comparing a man to a woman will always be an insult.
Not always, I’m stronger and taller than plenty of men
The overwhelming majority proves otherwise. https://boysvswomen.com/#/
Have a look at that, it compares highschool boys to female olympians, it's quite cruel.
You're an exception, compare yourself to expections, I can volunteer as 6'7 and 330lbs (2m and 150kg)
I guess it is because girls are considered the weaker sex and if a guy does not act in a manly way he is a girly girl.
These are expressions typically used to describe men who are not acting masculine. It’s not an insult to women who act feminine. I don’t talk to people like that because it does feel like I’m insulting women, however.
It implies that femininity is a negative trait or somehow less desirable than masculine traits.
I think so too. It’s basically really dumb guys who do this because I like girls so it seems like a really dumb insult. 😂
It does doesn’t it, sounds like sexism
You didn’t grow up with brothers, right?
I have a brother
Yeah, some guys (not me) do say those things just to annoy each other.
Because being a pyssy or acting like a woman is not what many guys want out of themselves.
I'm pretty sure many women would find it insulting if she's complimented with attributes that define men.
