Ever had feelings you didn't want because you knew they weren't right?

I don't really know exactly why and I don't think I'm the only one with this issue. Maybe it's because women always seen there own feminity as weak so they took a step up to men and copied more masculine traits to show strength. So when some men climb down the latter in societies eyes. Both men and women. It's just a bit more degrading to a bit more people who would have seen a women acting masculine as alright. In a sense for guys who don't consider themselves gay. I know it might be offensive to a lot of people but feminine nature has always been seen as weak and it was seen even weaker when women themselves thought that the only way they can earn equal respect in there eyes is if to exhibit more exaggerated masculine traits. So it just looks like a guy is going from strong to weak in the eyes of many. What has always been praised in men and women. Those men choose to take away. I honestly want to change my mindset on this. I don't think it's really healthy because I really have no ill feeling deep down in my own heart towards men like this in any logical way. My body just reacts a bit to stuff like this. I control a great deal of my unnecessary feelings so it doesn't exactly show at all.

I [b]think[/b] I understand what you're saying. It is very complicated. What most understand of femininity [b]is[/b] perceived as soft, sensitive submissive and weak. It's why when people want to insult a [b]man[/b] the worst thing they can imagine to call him is "womanish". And what it means is that the stereotype of women as a group is not admired by either gender.
