Is masculinity slowly dying?

[c=#7700B2]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 [/c]

Yes. The West is a highly feminized society which praises femininity and demonizes masculinity. Check out Karen Straughan on YouTube.

A short way of showing this is the difference in public opinion if a scientist or group finds that men are smarter than women. Pitchforks and torches would be brought out. They might get sued or forced to quit their jobs.

On the other hand, if someone finds that women are smarter than men, praise upon praise is lavished upon them.

I.e. Women got this shit on the lockdown and have for awhile. Third wave feminism won pretty hardcore.

Female solidarity might play a role. Women will defend other women simply on the basis...that they are also women. Men don't function like this. Men have to have something else in common with men, other than they are also men. This is proven, btw. So, I think that might play a role.

But yes. Third wave feminism has invaded everything and tried shifting everywhere into female safe spaces--even male safe spaces. Example would be the workplace, where even if a woman isn't party to a conversation, if she even hears anything crude that two men are about, she can sue them for sexual harassment.

I sort of view it like the romantic power struggle in a relationship. Women will fight for the power, but they don't actually want it. They want the man to be assertive and show his masculinity. Well, this happened on a societal level and women won and keep winning.

Eventually, shits going to blow up and men will finally have had enough of this lack of respect. Manhood was celebrated in the past. This was a cookie that men got for doing the dirty and gritty jobs of society. Of being the disposable pawns. But it was all good, because "At least i am appreciated for it". However. Today, nothing men do is considered good enough. It's just expected. And it's going to blow up. Is it any wonder men are starting to go, "wait a minute. This is kinda fucked up."

Male disposabikity is a male responsibility. E.g. if a man and a woman are in a house fire, it's expected that you save the woman every time. In the past, men did this as a whole with little complaint. Because their masculinity was respected. If you ask me, since they've lost that respect, they're going to stop doing it.

I might have rambled on a bit much. Sorry. But, big topic for me. Karen Straughan has a lot more to say on the topic--and better phrased and more in depth--and im basically just paraphrasing her.
