    Because crying, being a wimp, being a pussy, not manning up, being such a girl and not being a man are all poor strategies for getting women.

      To "man up" here refers to telling boys and men to suck it up, to swallow their emotions and not express them. To bottle up all their frustration and that the only legitimate way to vent, is the most destructive way - aggression.

      All masculinity is deemed as toxic, that is the liberal agenda to force all men to change their genders or they'll be killed and mulched

      that's not true. toxic masculinity teaches men to suppress emotions instead of dealing with them, causing a lack of emotional intelligence which negatively impact the relationships that they have with their significant others

      Women can have masculine traits as well, but this mentality affects everyone negatively, it’s primarily pushed into boys from an early age, from their parents, male authority figures and society

      @rachelspiks @Subarugirl Oh good God, It is solely based on one's personal perspective. Just because you may think one way does not mean that every woman or man does. Hey, go ahead and try and create your perfect Man, Miss Frankenstein, just like we have to settle for what we end up with a woman... I sure as hell can't create my perfect woman. Are you still stupid enough to try and create your "perfect man"? Like you would ever want to be with some girly boy and have his children! If you actually did, I doubt they would be willing to carry on your genetic line. It would just be a dead end for your genetic heritage... if you even care about that. If not, you have no stake in our future and thus have no reason to even try to improve it.

      @Rachelspiks No, you are so wrong, and you don't even know how wrong you are. It doesn't matter how wrong I can prove you self to be, you will stubbornly adhere to what you said. I would actually be rather disappointed if you conceded... I will never ever expect that you would.

      However, there is this thing called a scope that one must use to avoid BS explanations as yours. Otherwise, the there is no limit to what we can just pull out of our ass. So, as far as this topic is concerned, we are strictly limited to people's perception... In truth, does anything else matter than their perception of reality?

      I refuse to get into a physiological discussion of what is real and not with people's view of their world. You either inherently understand it or you don't. It would be as useless as trying to explain to someone how to be emphatic, when they don't have the capacity to be empathic. I'm like saying, "Well, you put yourself in their shoes and see things from their perspective..." "Ok, and how exactly do you put yourself in their shoes." "Umm... You just do it..." That is exactly how I feel, trying to get you to even understand what I'm talking about! I can't do this anymore, bye!

      @Vigors I'm sure you would love to show what you have to anyone who has a microscope handy... However, I've never ever stared at my testicles at all... Yeah, they are there and when I was born apparently they caused a bit of an excitement, granted this is all hearsay from those present... It was not they were filming this or anything... Though my parents like filmed everything else.

      I'm a bit curious, how interested where your parents with you? Do you have a baby book thy kept, showing your first lock of hair that was cut from you or the first words you said..., what about the first steps you took? My parents loved me so much that they took the time to do this for me... Yeah, things I can see that proved just how much I was loved... Do your parents love you at all? I can prove it! Can you?
