They used to be muscular, masculine, tough, they used to go to wars, but now they're such cowards. What do you think about this?

I believe so. Someone said there’s no reason for men to be like that these days. The reason why is because all these dangers are kept at bay by other men willing to die to protect this country, their family, even strangers. That’s why it seems as though we don’t need to be that way anymore. But I disagree. We need a certain caliber of men to be ready to go if something should ever happen. I work in the medical field, a lot of feminine men who said they’d never fight. A couple of them even said they were too scared. I’ve had a few say they were scared to wake up the patient because they were afraid to get yelled at. So they ask me to wake them up lol It’s like when women talk trash about men saying things like we don’t need men. They think they don’t need men because men built up all these luxuries to say such nonsense. Again, all these men who protect us keep a lot of these dangers from us so when someone says no we don’t need to be like that these days. Yes cause there’s men waiting to meet that danger head on because of men like that who won’t step up. I’m 46, if ever a foreign enemy got into our country some how on a massive scale you can guarantee I’m going to be out there w everything I got just as I’m sure there’s a lot of older men who live in silence on standby should something ever happen.

Yep. All the emo snowflake bullshite I hear at work from grown ass men makes me want to puke. "BoopBoopBeep asked me to file these papers and he didn't say please and I'm not sure if that's my job because nobody trained me on how to do that so maybe it's outside the scope of my job and I think maybe I should talk to HR and is he even my superior because yesterday Molly asked me to do something so I am pretty sure she's the only one allowed to task me"

You're a fucking intern, right? The janitor is your superior. At least she has a clearance.

MisterWack · Answer

No, it is just that as time progressed the need to be MUSCULAR & HUNTER & A FIGHTER kinda lessened since there is no presence of danger.
We went from hunting mammoths to working 100s of hours in the heat for our Feudal Lord to Crusades to other wars/overthrowing of power, to modern day.

It is progress and its a good thing. Men aren’t becoming less brave, it is the fact that we don’t fight for survival anymore. Men are more likely to take risks than women, so in terms of that men are bravest although charging first asking questions later isn’t logical… I wouldn’t exactly call fighting brave over all is what I’m saying.

Hard times make tough men
Tough men make soft times
Soft times make weak men
Weak men make hard times

My grandfathers' generation fought the Second World War. Their children had a hard time growing up without their fathers' either physically or emotionally as a result of what they had been through. Many then had to deal with living through the hell of Korea and Vietnam as well. Despite that, they made a softer life for my generation - Gen-X.

Our lives weren't easy but were easier. Our kids got soft as a result. Their kids are the immature fucktards who need "safe spaces" to avoid being butthurt by words and who can't define what a woman is.

If the beaches in Normandy needed storming today we'd be totally fucked.

I know I was. I took a dock spike to the chest, taped it shut and kept on going. Slammed my head into the bow of a boat crashing into waves and sewed it shut with needle and thread (7 stitches), and now I am in my "fallen and can't get up" stage of life.🤔🤣

exitseven · Answer

I agree. I grew up in a different Era and you had to be tough or else you would be a wimp all your life. Kids are still bullied but it is different. They do it on social media. I could care less what people thought of me on Facebook. When I was growing up it was scarier to encounter some older kid in the bathroom that would shov e your head in a toilet.

Meropatrick · Answer

Being tough and brave was not a choice then. They did what must be done. Food was in shortage then. If u dont fight u dont eat. By going to war you can secure your future. Also its women fault. Women nowadays choose and breed with weak wimpy men. "because he listens to me and bring me flowers"

every man post-WW2 has been weak starting with the Baby Boomer generation, then trickling down to Gen X, Millennials and Zoomers the moment liberalism was allowed to infect society under the disguise of social justice with the intention of destroying the nation at it's foundations... basically a trojan horse

I think a lot of men’s problem these days is that they are way too jealous of women. Back in the day, there was a clear boundary between the two, now, not so much. I also think a lot of men feel inadequate these days in comparison to other men. It’s not really the men in positions of financial power running their mouths, it’s the ones with none. Physically strong, I do think men these days actually are more physically strong than the ones back in the day.

Were women more domestic in the past?

They used to be more submissive, prettier, respectful, more feminine, did serve their men well and does anything he wants, plus she admired the house work and the kitchen was her palace, was proud to make a sandwich for husband and always ready to pleasure him sexually, what do you think about this? 😏

I went to war, I'm an amateur boxer, I have 2 degrees and I make a good salary.

I know many other people in similar boats to me (obviously from being in the same places). I think you are either in the wrong places or you're looking at men through an online scope.

If what I've done by 24 isn't "manly" then I guess most men are fucked.

RebelinSteel · Answer

They still go to wars, no one ever wants to but it gets done.

Cometh the hour cometh the man, that is how it is and always will be.

We have more unrest globally than is usually expected, there are a lot of guys and girls involved in these areas of conflict.

It is Women who are choosing soft effeminate men because they do not like 'toxic masculinity'. Men still have to go to War, they are still muscular, masculine, tough, What you should be worried about is if these Men decide to avoid the dating scene,

I think that it's not true. People don't change, circumstances change. Do you really think we need more wars?

Look on CNN about a study about micro plastics being in male testacies. Men have been wimpified over the years too.

DarkLegacy · Answer

Mollycoddling has occurred. This may sound sexist but this started happening in the UK as soon as suffrage happened. Women are too soft on guys. We would be screwed now if we got invaded.

Men of the past were trained via social conditioning to sacrifice themselves.

Not all men were going to war. Some of them were farmer and some of them were priests etc. I don't know why women think like this. Even my elder sister tells me that I am a f***** because I did not join the army.
