Masculinity on the Decline

[blastoff]

Has traditional masculinity gone out of style? Personally, I hope it makes a comeback.


Masculinity is on the decline in the United States, especially within the younger generation. See Pajama Boy, male millennial who swears he gets his period, and the rise of the male feminist as evidence.

Now, a recent survey conducted by YouGov in mid-May seems to confirm the same. The survey asked American men to rate their own masculinity on a scale from 0 to 6; 0 being “completely masculine” and 6 being “completely feminine.” The results showed major differences between generations and their own perceived masculinity.

Yeah, insecurity, as noted. "Hey, everybody, my hormones make me grow hair on my face! I'm a man! See!"

Ugh. Hate them.

It has fallen with the demise of femininity. Masculinity/femininity require each other to survive. With the rise of Feminism in place of femininity, the death of Masculinity could not be far behind.

Thus, showing once again that women are in the lead.

Interesting that some posts blame some people for blaming others, yet blame other than men for an alleged decline in masculinity.

Traditional masculinity? Like where men wore wigs, makeup, lace, velvet and silk?

Maybe you should worry more about being decent

When you have people like Carlos Danger, it is the only way a liberal pansy ass man can compete.
Anthony Weiner sexting scandals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American politician Anthony Weiner, former member of the United States House of Representatives from New York City, has been involved in two sexual scandals related to sexting, or sending explicit sexual material by cell phone. The first, sometimes dubbed Weinergate, led to his resignation as a congressman in 2011.

How many REAL MEN does it take to change a light bulb?

Zero(0), REAL MEN are not afraid of the dark.

How many liberal men does it take to change a light bulb?
Zero(0) as liberal men don't change a light bulb but allow 11 million illegal aliens into the country to do it.

Are you this stupid in real life?

Perhaps liberals should be masculine like Denny Hastart?

Truly moronic thread premise.

This is among the more tedious and idiotic of rightwing canards.

There has been a war on men for quite some time. We have gone from "Father Knows Best" to "The Simpsons." The reason, in my opinion, is that woman can't be made stronger so in order to have equality men must be made weaker.

Doesn't help that if a man asserts his masculinity they are condemned as being a caveman.

Whats wrong with being a cave man?

I think most of us would settle for liberals just being patriotic Americans.

Maybe you, like guno, are confusing traditional clothing with traditional male character traits.

maybe to "assert masculinity" doesn't mean what you think it means.

can you give an example of the (supposed) condemnation of masculinity that you speak of...?

When anyone does anything 'non-liberals' don't agree with, they automatically deem it 'liberal'.

Thank you for a trite analysis of the premise.

A lot of bearded men demonstrated against the Vietnam war. That was patriotic, as the whole affair was a disaster for America and should never have happened. Somehow, that was judged by 'non-liberals' as 'liberal' and unpatriotic.

Not really. Then again you have to understand the history of Chivalry and Courtly Love to see why that is.....

Chivalry began as a means to prevent the constant wars and bloodshed of the first millenium AD in Europe. It was a system of rules for combat and nothing more. In fact the word derived from the French word Chevalier (mounted warrior). Then in the 13th Century, Sir Thomas Mallory penned his work "Le Mord D'Arthur" (The Death of Arthur), which is the foundation for all of the Arthurian legends. It sparked the imagination of the Lords and Ladies of Europe, and added the idea of Coutly Love (proper romance and courtship between Lords and Ladies) to the Chivalric inventory. Suddenly Knights were expected to restrain their base urges and maintain a certain amount of respectability in the Court of their Lord.

HOWEVER, what many people miss is that the ideals of Courtly Love demanded AS MUCH, if not MORE from the LADIES of the Court. Most of those expectations became the foundation for what we have come to refer to as femininity in the more recent centuries.

By the mid-1700's, Courtship was a very regimented system in more Western nations, with significant expectations of both the Man and woman. These ideals continued, in one form or another right through the 1950's.

HOWEVER, with the advent of the women's Sufferage movement in the early days of the 20th Century, and the expansion of women in the workplace after World War II, many of those expectations begand to seem unpleasant and stifling to the women of the latter part of the 20th Century. As they began to ignore the expectations of Courtship in the 1960's, they also began deriding and openly criticizing many of the expectations on Men in that same system. As women began to become "empowered", they saw many of the features of Courtship as antiquated and outdated; to the point that Men who still held to them were considered to be Chauvanists and unworthy of the woman's time or affections.

As Men began to be verbally and socially abused for continuing to maintain those Courtship rituals and Courtly Values, they stopped doing them. Thus losing a large part of what makes a Gentleman a Man. As this started to happen more frequently, a "bad boy" culture emerged and led to our current state of affairs...... Women suddenly realizing that there might actually be some value to having a Gentleman in their lives, but not wanting to return to the Courtly Values that made those Gentlemen feel the extent of their efforts was worth the reqard at the end of them.

So basically, we've come to a point where women want to be allowed to be whatever they want, but still expecting Gentlemen to be such (at least until she tells them that they're allowed not to be). This is total horsebleep. If women want a Gentleman in their life, they can return to looking, acting, and thinking like a Lady. Until then, there is no reason on Earth for a Man to return to any standard of Manliness, Masculinity, or Gentlemanliness.
