Is masculinity slowly dying?

dont mean any offence to this what so ever but slowly as time goes on and on into new generations of people, it seems men are getting more feminine and a lot seem afraid to embrace masculinity these days. I have no problem with people being whatever they wanna be, so don't try twisting my words here or anything... I'm just curious

To me, masculinity is a quality that an individual exudes naturally and this never changes. Some will always have that innate 'something' that gives off an aura of authority, leadership or assertion. What I would say is that men have had to change to avoid falling foul of modern convention. Being gallant, for example, can lead to a rebuke and men now feel edgy about giving their seat up on a bus or offering to help a lady with something. I'm not saying this is always the case but there is an increasing accusation of sexism these days that I, personally, see as a pervasive phenomenon. I stand ready for some 'incoming'...

Oh yeah, I've seen a woman on a bus berate a man for giving up his seat to her. That's not that common but it's bizarre to think that a woman would get so angry about being offered a seat.

Sad, isn't it? It was called 'Good manners' in my day...
