We live in an age where being a blubbering sissy is praised and considered something to be proud of. I have a rather straightforward attitude, I walk with my head high, chest out, shoulders back. My current employer has made it clear that I am "aggressive" "nazi-ish" and wants to "soften you up". I have actually been asked to slouch.
It’s the way the left is trying to train the world. Be soft and fragile. Everyone can cry. We have to protect you, and disarm. Then we can take over by force. Just like a long list of other rulers have done. They just want to pussify the country prior to that.

I don't believe this, not for one solitary second. Don't derail my thread with such nonsense, because now, everyone is going to focus in on your ridiculous claim.

That was great. I have a number of family members I’d like to show that to, but it would only make them cry as well.

The bullshit about "toxic masculinity" has created and will create more problems than it has solved.
It's important to me that my son know what it is to be a man, and important things like honor, responsibility, and respect. What strength is.
Boys, are not girls.

Toxic effect of "protecting" everyone and making sure the young never have to work for anything. Excellence in sports, grades, you name it is downplayed or "shared" so no one feels left out or diminished. Makes me wanna puke.

hard to argue with this.
Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up."

There are a loooot of individuals that had better be glad I suppress my emotion on a daily basis. Otherwise, I'd be choking the living crap outta said individuals. You come at me with this toxic crap, I'll just punch you in the taint. What a MORONIC society we have become. My mother's right...we don't belong here. JSMH.....
