Why don't men want to take responsibility for their actions?

Question

Mr_twoface · Accepted Answer

I feel there can be a number of underlying factors why men don't usually take responsibility, for instance traditional gender roles often emphasize masculinity in terms of strength, independence, and emotional acceptance. In some cultures, admitting mistakes or vulnerabilities can be seen as a sign of weakness, which conflicts with these traditional masculine ideals. This can discourage some men from taking responsibility for their actions, as it may feel like an admission of weakness. Other considerations could be based on how some men have been raised in their families and communities so the behaviors they see has greatly influenced their actions in life. If a boy grows up in an environment where accountability is not emphasized or where excuses are often made for irresponsible behavior, he might be more likely to adopt similar attitudes. A lack of positive role models who demonstrate accountability and responsibility can also play a role. If young men do not see responsible behavior being modeled and rewarded, they might be less likely to emulate it.

Other factors could be related to certain personality traits, such as narcissism or a lack of empathy, which can make it difficult for an individual to acknowledge their faults and the impact of their actions on others. Sometimes, not taking responsibility can be a defensive mechanism to protect one's ego and self-esteem. Admitting fault can be challenging and uncomfortable, especially if a person has a fragile sense of self.

Not just men, people in general don’t. Meet a decent person and they will. The sooner people start taking responsibility, the sooner they’ll realize they’re in charge of their own lives.

Your question is impossible to answer because it assumes that men in general take less responsibility than women for their actions and although I am a feminist, I don’t think that’s true

V_Injector · Answer

Okay gut reaction was to point out what gender is infamous for not taking accountability.  ... but then I kept reading. You're still not taking accountability.  WTF? Women do it the most though!

Let me help you here, if you put the letters W and O at the front of it, then you have it right. Feminism is to blame for it

Because it’s easier to blame external paraphernalia than ourselves…that way we don’t have to take accountability and can live denial…ignorance is bliss after all.

I am not responsible for You feeling this way I am not responsible for Me, You are.

And now for Sincerity;

It isn't Men, dear woman, it's Human nature or at least a facet of thus.
The word you are looking for, the reason why they take no responsibility; Entitlement a symptom of Nature corruption. It isn't a new thing despite it's rise in popularity.

You've read Mr_twoface's piece on it, so You have a good place to start looking deeper if You will it.

Shitty people are shitty. Why don't some men want to? Simply put? They are tired of constantly being blamed for everything and anything by women so if they already the villains why change?

Taking responsibility as in admitting fault? How do you mean it?

Kaamraj · Answer

Nope, men have to take accountability for their actions every time, if they dont then society and the law makes sure that they take accountability. I think this post is a joke.
