They've already done that with a bit less than half of American men. They're called Democrats.

I suspect there are positive attributes associated with masculine norms. That wouldn't fit the agenda.
I drink (moderately), quit tobacco 20 years ago and like vegetables.
I am also gainfully employed, don't use any form of recreational or non-prescription drugs, pay my taxes, have never been arrested, come home to my family every evening after work, help in my community, help at the gun club and stop to help those in need. I suspect that last sentence applies to a significant percentage of this forum. If that is masculinity and it's a problem, well, I will deal with it.

True, still nothing wrong in my book with a bacon/whiskey/cigar breakfast

P&G Challenges Men to Shave Their ‘Toxic Masculinity’ in Gillette Ad

my Daughters and my son will understand that men are men and women are women...and there’s nothing wrong with that.

That Gillette ad is so stupid. Since when does being a man mean you bully other people and treat women like shit?

That’s not masculinity, that’s being a douche. Being man is chivalry, it’s being strong and standing up for others, it’s not backing down fron a righteous fight, it’s flying right into the teeth of danger and believing you can kick its ass up and down the street when needed, it’s trying to be strong for others, it’s doong what must be done. And grilling...it’s also grilling.

“Boys will be boys” isn’t meant to condone bullying or harassment...it means they’re going to get dirty, break a bone and take shit apart to see how it works. It means they’re gonna have a shit load of energy and clear out the pantry.

These jackasses obviously were never taught what being a man is.

I have posted this before but it fits perfectly



Are they really that stupid to not understand what men are supposed to be....hunter, defender....not feeling (at least as far as your enemies are concerned). Yes, within our own tribe/family we can and do show our feelings....but fuck showing those on the outside.

And here is the big shocker....women (real women, not feminazi's) WANT real men! Roll Eyes

I am going to go make my son watch a Duke marathon ....especially "The searchers" Mad

Japan is having its own growing problem, Soushokukei danshi. "Grass-eaters." Feminized introverts who have no real ambition to do much of anything other than gaming or anime, and certainly no interest in women. It's about to kick them right in the birth-rate, which is a concern to Japanese establishment.

They mock and ridicule Soushokukei, by the way.
