That's probably code for something gay.

It Isn’t Men Who Are Toxic. It’s Women
This “terrible femininity” is destroying our culture by making men feel there’s something wrong with them, when in fact there’s something wrong with women for thinking there’s something wrong with men.

"Toxic masculinity" my ass. The real danger is women.

Masculinity isn't a parallel to Feminism...

If you are looking for forum thread symmetry... you would need Femininity vs Masculinity...

or Feminism vs Masculism?? (googled and it basically means males jockeying with females for power/rights....)


Feminists are females competing with males for power... which is not what femininity is at all... more like females behaving in a masculine way.
Which is fine...

The exact obverse would be what... Males engaging with females as nurturing caregivers?

So I just thought I would throw a wrench into the thread here... and see what it generates....

I'm expecting crickets.

MRAs are basically the analog to feminists.

MRAs correctly identify a lot of the problems, but their prescription is to treat men as feminism has convinced society should treat women.

Which is a huge mistake, in my opinion.

True - basically men wanting to have the right to be a nurturing caregiver...

That's pretty parallel.

As my man McClanahan likes to say, "Think Locally, Act Locally."

You Can Return to 1950's America Anytime
Sadly, with a high enough percentage of the population voting for socialism, not to mention an increasing percentage of the population preferring to celebrate inferiority over excellence, we as a country cannot return to the "glory days" of the 1950's. Millennials are not capable of living on their own at 18. Women prefer to outsource kids to day care instead of raise them. Men have been replaced with government checks. And what men are present in their nuclear families are usually Soy Boy jokes which cannot compare to a strong, but fair 1950's Ward Cleaver. Without the based, anchored, and galvanized WWII generation, the generations of Americans that remain are simply too inferior and lazy to achieve what Americans did in the 1950's. And so you assume we can never return to those halcyon days of yore and are condemned to Enjoy the Decline.

However, I have a bit of good news for you, and it is one of those rare bits of good news indeed. For while "we" as a country can't and never will return to the 1950's, YOU as an individual can. And there's nobody who can stop you.

The main reason anybody can return to the 1950's at any time is because while on a national or macro level the US may be turning into a childish, socialist shithole, on the local or micro level the average American still holds considerable sway and control over their immediate and local environment. You don't have to live in California where the insane people put cancer warnings on coffee. You don't have to live in Seattle where the city council obviously loves parasites more than the producers. You can simply choose to live in towns that aren't socialist, have low crime, low traffic and don't vote to tax their citizens all the time. But returning to the 50's goes well beyond simply picking the right municipality to live in. It boils down to individual life-style decisions that are even more personal, more "micro" and will more directly affect the quality of life you live. And if you make the right decisions, there's a good chance you'll enjoy a 1950's life replete with 2020's technology and conveniences.
