You know what real men like?

Whatever the hell it is they are into. Stop telling people what they need to do to be real. Everyone is real.

Good post. Even as a paleoconservative, I know that the whole 'machisimo' thing is wrong. There is a need for sensitivity and appreciation for beauty and gentleness. The anima and animus need balance for a healthy outlook on life.

Don't change just to please someone else.
Just be yourself

@Adamski24 Don't let anyone bully you into thinking you should be something else just because it makes them feel better. ๐Ÿ’ช

@SomeMichGuy Men are usually not irreal. Only their ideas are sometimes a bit irreal. ๐Ÿ˜

@helenS Trump must be irreal besides being irrational.

I believe he is a character played by a troupe of Fascist actors.

Gotta love the very notion of what constitutes as a real man. โ€œReal men donโ€™t do this, real men donโ€™t do thatโ€ฆโ€ By that logic, a real man is an insecure man who abides by what others deem socially acceptable rather than being true to themselves. ๐Ÿคฃ

@Ducky it's a bullying tactic. "You are either this way or I'm gonna dehumanise you".

That sort of language already shows the speaker/writer likely is making overly-broad statements, the kind which are intended to "other", judge, condemn those not meeting the criterion/-a set forth, and bolster, promote, bless those who do (presumably including the originator).

Unless someone is simply stating a definition (e.g., the universal affirmative of logic: "all mammals are animals"), the broad brush statements are typically ones where a counterexample can be found, often readily.

@SomeMichGuy it screams "my parent bullied me".

@Alison There is a subtle incel vibe there for sure.

@KuroNeko I'm glad u did a cross post on it ngl.
What's a "real man"?

I'm a man, so I'm told, but I find that description odd.
I understand a "real gentleman" a "real lady", but a "real woman"?
I mean real as opposed to what?
But then I suppose you can be a "real" anything if there are fakes out there?
๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
So if I know some "real" arseholes, does that mean there are fake arseholes out there? And what's the difference... I'm waffling now aren't I?
I'll get me coat...

@KuroNeko Let me hasten to add that I was joking and NOT trying to advocate self-harm in any way.
