Girls, so you think most men are sissies these days? I do

[Anonymous]

Do you think way too many men are not masculine these days? They just don't act manly in so many ways in my experience, but what do you girls think? I think it has a lot to do with feminism, a lot of boys raised without father in their lives, moms smothering their boys, and just how much softer every race and culture in America has become compared to even just a few decades ago.

I agree. But I do not believe all guys are like this, but a lot of them are. Guys these days COMPLAIN SO MUCH about the stupidest things. The one thing I'm so beyond tired hearing of is guys cry about is the "friend zone". (Typical guy voice): "Oh! I keep putting nice guy coins in the woman machine but no sex is coming out! Girls hate nice guys!" Seriously if you have this type of mentality then f*** you. Women don't owe you sex for "being nice" you passive aggressive a**hole. Why can't guys be nice to women without expecting anything in return? What the hell is so wrong with just being nice? I'm nice to guys all the time (really just people in general), but I don't expect anything in return, especially not sex. Guys these days just feel so entitled to women these days it literally makes me sick.

I also dislike how so many guys these days are stuck in the teenage boy phase for so long. Like being immature, being disrespectful to people in general, staying at home playing video games, living with their parents past the age of 18, etc. And I think it is because a lot of guys lacked a father figure as a child/teen, so they had no idea what a man is supposed to be like. A lot of guys think it is the fault of feminism (because everything is feminisms fault to guys) that young men are like this, but really its the fault of men who won't step up and take care of their kid.

I agree and find that usually the guys that claim they are "nice guys" and complain are really guys that act like a doormat around a girl they like, and they assume that bending over backward for a girl is gonna get them positive attention. It doesn't. It makes them look like pushovers with no confidence to even hold their own opinion. No girl wants that.

This is def part of what I am talking about!

Oh my goodness! The first paragraph made me laugh out loud! XD

Girls, so you think most men are sissies these days?

No considering it seems most guys adhere to the stereotypical masculine view:

- dominant (I don't find too many guys willing or desiring equality with gals much less a gal being in the lead of them)

- lacking in household/childcare duties (statistics will show that gals generally do all/most of this)

- superior mindset (I don't find too many guys regarding gals as equals the closest is a few guys saying 'equal but different' which is telling as I don't find this common when it comes to the races it seems like being equal to a gal is being lesser as being a gal is inferior)

- egoistical (I don't find too many guys that are insecure or lacking in self-confidence as almost every guy I know thinks his only possible flaw is that he's too nice that is quite a pedestal one must be on to have their only flaw be a self-congratulatory one)

Yeah, it's kinda weird you see I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid and so I was used to hang around sportive strong people (males and females) me being one of them. Going to high school really was a shock since so many guys (and obviously girls) were so weak and complained about the littlest shit (dramaqueensp). I would double almost 50% of the males during running, and had more stamina than most. Kids these days get pampered a lot. (but than again I didn't have a normal childhood either haha :p)

The reason you do not see it in other races is because, like women, they are catered to by social laws. Women have to be hired equally as men, ethnicities have to be hired equally as white men. Therefore, women and ethnicities are by birth at an advantage to men. It is a mathmatical certainty, whether or not women or minorities choose to take advantage of the governments laws is there own choice. Single mothers are single by choice, statistically, and every law and goverment program caters to them. Not only has it become less socially acceptable for a white male to assert himself, he is constantly held in fear of the consequences of losing his family as it is a win win situation for women, child support and sexual freedom. Most races breed without the male having a fear of consequence, as many of the women in there race are ignorant to the laws and basically do not know how to hold the males accountable, legally. Therfore, these men of race may seem more confident because they do not fill the need to demonstrate the ability care for and support a family which generally white men feel is very important, aka nice guy. Women of all races are primitivly attracted to the selfishness.

BS, every bit it. There is no one more privileged in society than a cisgendered straight white guy. They do not have to deal with any minority issue, but thinks that anti-discriminatory laws are somehow discriminatory towards him. These men are in the vast majority of power positions and are the driving force for most social injustice. Not all of these men are like this, but unfortunately enough of them are. Ignorance at its worst.

[Hornydevilwithinin]

There has been a lot of studies showing the every male from the body builder to the dad with a gut is at half the level of testosterone. I think it is also diet mindset and yes a feminising is men an there ability to just be men. Guys could be guys and treat women with respect and class. Speak there mind and stay accountable.

I say eat healthy, lift and be excellent to each other.

To be honest, hell yes.

For example, why do so many guys get mad over the fact that women want a guy with a job? Men weren't nearly as butthurt about that...say, 40 years ago.

Why do so many guys complain about the friend zone? As if women are mind readers?

Why do so many guys have a sense of entitlement complex? Sure, men were always like that but they have gotten really out of control.

But above all, why do they always complain about double standards against men? Back then men just took charge and dealt with the pressure to move out, the pressure to get jobs or whatever society expects of men.

You can thank feminism for that. It's tough being a man; so of course if men are told that not only do they not have to be masculine, but that masculinity is oppresses women and is wrong, many men are going to give up. That's what feminism told men.

[Opinion Owner]

Lol whatever

[evenlift]

What part of that do you disagree with? If you don't know much about feminism, I suggest you do some reading. Most feminist writings are rants against masculinity.

[evenlift]

You yourself say that things were different 40 years ago. Well, feminism took off at that time: in the 1960s and 1970s.

[Opinion Owner]

Like the girl below said, you guys are always blaming feminism for why you're so feminine. It's just childish at this point.

[evenlift]

So, you're saying that it's just a coincidence that men started to become p****** when feminism took off? Haha. You don't think that telling men that masculinity oppresses women and that men need to start acting more like women, would have any effect at all? If or when you have a son, you should tell him all those things, if you don't think it will have a bad effect!

What feminism called for has happened: the abolition of masculinity.

[evenlift]

What is childish is for feminists not to take resposnibility for the consequences that feminism predicted and actually called for.

The irony is that feminism actually damages women more than men. A man can, if he really tries hard enough, undo the psychological damage caused by feminism and become a strong, assertive, traditional man. For a woman however, even if she realizes how harmful feminism has been, she still has to cope with a more-limited dating pool (because of all the feminized men).

[Opinion Owner]

Whatever

[SunshineLelek]

Meh, not really.

Courage is not an easy thing to have. I don't think someone should be judged as a sissy.

Generations before generally went through more hardships such as World wars and the Civil Rights Movement. People from generations before set the foundation for this country so their offspring didn't have to struggle the way they did. The result of that is a lot of people who haven't been put in situations that pull that courage out of them.

Just white guys. I've noticed a lot of white guys do try hard(but fail) to assert their dominance. I still see confidence and masculinity in other races. Now, a lot of people may say feminism. Feminism did not hit other races for some reason. But whatever feminism can only be used as a scapegoat for so much. Bottom line, I only see sissie behavior in white males.

[Asker]

I see see it in white males, but plenty of blacks too.

[evenlift]

"Feminism did not hit other races for some reason." Feminism never gained much popularity beyond white Western culture: that's why. The fact is, feminism called for the very thing that has now effectively happened: the abolition of masculinity.

[winterfox10]

Men are becoming sissies, simply because they don't know what a masculine man looks like.

Uh no.
