Are changing gender roles making modern men harder to understand?

[Humbertleinad]

As traditional gender roles evolve, do women struggle more today to understand men because the definition of what it means to be a partner is constantly changing?

I don't think it's making men harder to understand so much as women simply do not WANT to understand. They just want men to fall in line with what there perception of what a man's role is to them. Well, life just doesn't work that way is all.

And this is not ragebait. If it causes rage in someone they are part of the problem.

Women have gotten kind of a raw deal throughout history. As mankind rose women being the physically weaker sex has not always had full control of their life. We as a society have had greats leaps socially for equality over the past couple generations. With that you'll always have a segment that still think we haven't went far enough. That segment has declared war on men, and will not be happy until men are SUBSERVIENT to women. As i said earlier, life doesn't work that way is all. So now we are where we are. The genders deadlocked. 10% of the women telling the other 90 to not give and inch. That sleeping around is empowering. If she gets pregnant to just abort it. That even though women are making more than ever before, and since men and women are now competing for the same resources in the workplace thereby reducing the income that is available for men to make. Yet she still expects him to make MORE than her.🤷‍♂️ anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows that is NOT possible. But we're not talking about what is feasible. We're talking about what women want now. And they still EXPECT it whether it is feasible or not.

Now everything i've said to you is the God's honest truth. But i am the enemy because i am a man. Therein lies the problem. It doesn't matter whether i post the truth or not. It'll be labeled as mansplaining.

And this is why somany good men are just exiting the dating pool. There's no point in dating if women are so hostile. There'll always be a segment of men who remain. And those men will tell a woman whatever she wants to hear so he can get into her panties. So women will at least be able to find temporary comfort in a man. It just won't be lasting. Which is probably just as well. Because i don't think most women real want much long lasting monogamy anymore anyways.

I think men struggle with finding their roles in a changing gender roles world more than women do in understanding men.

Some men seem to think that their only roles are make money, mow the lawn, fix things and protect their family when they have so much more that they need to do now.

Women work now. We do a lot more chores and yes, we will protect our families just as much as a man would, whether it be physically or emotionally.

I think the frustration women deal with is when men don't feel like they need to change to meet a changing world. My dad was like this and it made our lives hell at times. That might be where we don't understand men and their stubbornness, but otherwise it's those men who struggle the most.

I don't think gender roles are changing at all outside of a tiny minority, maybe 5%, living on the fringe of society but screaming from the rooftops of social media.

From my vantage point men are still men and women are still women. And the fruit loops crowd of 72 fantasy genders are off obsessing over shit the rest of us don't care about or acknowledge. In keeping with that my pronouns are FUCK and OFF.
