Men can’t be men?

[WinterBorn]

I keep seeing threads talking about how men are no longer allowed to be men.

What exactly does that mean? Who is not allowing you to “be a man”? And what are you not allowed to do?

They are no longer allowed to beat or rape their wife or girlfriend.

Is that what you think 'being a man' is?


Is your armpit hair long enough to braid yet?

I genuinely want to hear what men think they are no longer allowed to do. And who is not allowing them.

***** grabbing comes to mind.

Being a misogynist asshole is becoming less socially acceptable.

I can’t wait to see someone try to defend that. Lol

Something being socially unacceptable doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

Being a misogynist asshole is becoming less socially acceptable.

So would it be safe to say that only misogynists and their supporters would be the ones complaining about men losing the ability to do something today?

It makes it kinda awkward.

I wouldn't argue with that statement.

No man who understood what "being a man" really means would ever say that it is any more difficult today than it ever was, or that it is even a question of "being allowed".

Stereotyping is the problem.

The idea of "being a man" is kind of sexist in my opinion.

Stereotyping may be a problem. But my questions in the OP still stand.

That is a bewildering interpretation.
