Whatever happened to men being manly more than feminine?

I find it so odd.

Let’s see. Hmmmmm I blame that mostly on toxic women. Especially w feminism. A lot of women shame men for be masculine. Everything a man does that a female doesn’t like it’s considered toxic. He’s encouraged to show his emotions, to express his feelings, to cry. Men are shamed for having standards as far as women they will or will not date. If he doesn’t date fat women he’s fat phobic. Women tell men they don’t need them. Men need a purpose in life to want to continue to be there. That purpose is usually to take care of his partner, his children. So when she’s putting him down, telling him I don’t need you I make more than you, etc, etc, he doesn’t feel a need to be there. Plus you have single moms raising boys. Which yes that I blame on men as well for the ones who just walk out on their kids by choice. A single mom can never raise a son to be a man. She can only raise him to be what her idea of a man should be. But that never works. I can’t raise a girl to be my idea of what a female is because I don’t think or act like one. A lot of times those type of men are soft, maybe feminine, a lot more emotional. Because when a boy cries she’s going to cuddle him, which yes I get it that’s her motherly instinct. Plus women these days have made it so hard for men to even approach them w all the accusations. Who wants to take a chance w that? There’s a lot more to it, but I blame a majority of it on toxic women.

It's highly discouraged nowadays.. There's a lot of vilifying for men, and in turns its turning men into wimps and simps.. Not to mention testosterone seems to be down and part of the reason is probably the chemicals in the food and the constant consumption of porn.

Toxic femininity ruined a lot of men.

Blame the government. Every other woman walks around taking estrogen pills while men who are identified as steroid users get arrested. Did you know testosterone is dangerous? But estrogen is life saving.

What's odd about it? That's the social circle you built... You had to make many decisions to surround yourself with people like that. What were you expecting?

Yes, it is really sad. Men talk about shaving their body hair off like it is normal.

What do you mean specifically? Men are the same as they have always been.
