  1. These dudes have been brainwashed to think that masculinity is bad and harmful by radical liberal media outlets like Vice. What makes a real man is the capability for extreme violence and aggression but having the ability to harness that and only use it in defense of others.

  2. We talk a lot about daddy issues with women, but I think there's a huge amount of guys out there who had the crappiest or absent fathers who never showed them how to be decent men. Lift each other up guys, be there for your bros, don't be scared to be open, communicative and yeah emotional is ok too. Forget what it means to be masculine. Nobody cares about that sh*t but you. Be a decent dude and your life will improve

  3. My dad always said to be a man ,you have to fall in love, have your heart broken ,win a fight,lose a fight,and experience jail/prison/military. I checked all those off. I don't agree with that completely but it does shape boy to a man.

  4. "Hysterically Being a man was routed in patriarchy and mysogyny"

    Yes, all men in every war went out, laid down their lives to oppress the women that were safer back home that they hated so much…….

    The 99% of men that currently work horrible jobs with long hours day in, day out, do that to oppress the women back home, that they hate.

    The world has gone absolutely nuts to believe this BS

  5. I expected this video to be really toxic, because usually the people complaining about there being a "crisis in masculinity" are just the men who want to uphold toxic masculinity and are angry they now are being challenged. But these people are the opposite of that and are really genuinely trying, so that's great to see.

  6. The best part about this is that the premise needs to be justified, as if it's some sort of unknown phenomenon. There has been a full blown war on masculinity for about 40 years now.

    When I was a little boy, every female teacher I had, tried to tell my parents that I had ADD and ADHD. Every male teacher I had, didn't. As I have progressed through the education system, I have seen a dramatic shift in the way masculinity in males has been allowed to be expressed. When I was kid, I was told I needed to step back and let the girls take a shot at leading. That started at 6 years old. I never had a shot at leading anything when I was 6. Yet, because of my gender, I wasn't offered leadership roles.

    This continued into high school. But the thing is, the entire time I was being told that I wasn't a good leader, that I lacked appropriate focus, that I lacked wise decision making, and I wasn't inspirational; I somehow managed to be a major success in all of my social groups with my peers of both genders. I was the guy everyone came to when they didn't know what to do, or when they felt overwhelmed. It didn't matter if it was in sports, the classroom, at home, or with their personal love relationships.

    When teachers who had branded me as a criminal, with horrible parents, and horrible values, became aware that I had become the private confidant to my classmates, they were appalled. They immediately began to undermine me and they tried to steal away the confidence others had put into me. The teachers tried to inject themselves into the lives of the children around me, because they could not fathom that I would give sound advice, given all of the trouble I caused the teachers.

    When my classmates would open up with the teachers, the teachers would give the same or strikingly similar advice that I gave to the students. The teachers would ask the students afterward, what the advice was that I gave to the troubled student. If the advice I gave was at all different from that of the teacher's, it was better than the teacher's advice, because I had given more precise advice, since I knew more about everyone.

    This revelation blew all of the teacher's minds. It didn't change their perception of me, because I was already labelled as the enemy. I was the driven little boy who was not afraid to speak his mind or challenge authority. I was also unafraid of whatever punishment they could think of, since I knew it was some bogus assignment or some bogus task after school.

    That lack of control over me is what caused the conflict. I refused to be conquered. That's 100% masculine energy. I was assertive, funny, smart, creative, challenging, confident, headstrong, curious, and I was very good at planning and maintaining focus over a long period of time.

    Once the war began, I would never cede an inch without gaining other concessions. I kept track of everything that would happen and I kept a log of events, so if a teacher tried to bring up something from the past that was an inaccurate representation, I would pull out the log and correct them.

    I would get the teacher's pet to sign off on the log after something would happen. We would agree on the language used in the description and then I'd get the teacher's pet to initial, sign, and date the entry. I started that in 2nd grade. By 4th grade I was basically a court reporter.

    Even though I showed all of this intelligence, planning, cooperation, leadership, influence, understanding, and motivation, I was still labelled a "problem". I was still told that I was too hyper and I needed to calm down. That I needed to learn how to "focus" and "pay attention".

    The icing on the cake was always when I would get punished for behavior that the girls would get rewarded for. The amount of grandstanding I would do when that type of injustice occurred was legendary. The entire class would notice as soon as it happened and it wasn't long before teachers would literally single me out and only punish me while they rewarded everyone else. It was a joke. How do you lose a classroom to an 8 year old boy?

    Easy, you tell the children who adore him that he is nothing but trouble, when they all agree with 99% of what he says and does. When my classmates were too afraid to stand up to injustice, I would do it with them so they wouldn't feel alone. Getting in trouble to help out the kids getting screwed over felt like the right thing to do. Looking back, I should have been even bolder and drug the teachers to the principal and the Superintendent. I should have forced them to call my parents and made them explain to adults why they did all of the ridiculous things they did, and why they said all of the ridiculous things they said.

    It's hard to win a war when your 9 and you're fighting the school all alone. That was 30 years ago. It's gotten increasingly worse and worse and worse since then. I hear it all the time from parents of little boys. They talk about how their son needs to see a counselor and how the school wants them on medication. It's gotten so common now, these statements by the school go unquestioned. It is just the way it is.

    Look at graduation rates of males vs. females. Remember when females weren't getting ahead at the rate of men? Remember why we were told that was happening?

    Institutionalized sexism against women.

    Why are more girls than boys graduating from high school? Why are more women than men going to college? Why are more women than men graduating from college? Why are more young men committing suicide than ever before? Why? What changed? What happened that caused this grand shift in the way males function in the education system?

    Gee, I wonder what could have caused all of these types of things to just arise like this?

    Hmmmm…

    It's almost like being a masculine boy makes you a target. It's almost like being a masculine boy isn't encouraged. It's almost like being a masculine boy is treated like some sort of medical condition that requires medication…

    But is masculinity in crisis? No, of course not. Masculinity is doing better than ever. Remember seeing all those suicide prevention billboards on the highway when you were a kid? Remember those? They showed regular looking men with a normal or sad expression, and they encouraged men to reach out for help before they committed suicide. Remember those?

    Yeah, neither do I. See them now, don't you?

    As you can tell, I must have really been dumb when I was a kid. Because based on my ability to express myself, recall traumatic events, assert complex ideas, and identify the probable cause of these issues, I have shown that I have a definite attention deficit.

  7. Whatever the hell in the earth you go you cannot ever avoid being bullied at .. just stfu and get over with hollow talks .. idiots .. maggots .. men don't cry should be said at men .. men should control their anger, lust, should be said .. we were genetically hardwired to buld by stress (don't your mother say to you that you are stronger beutiful? And dont think about the bullies .. and not to respond to them?) and when you crybabies should advocate being stronger than the bullies you wanna make the bullies shut .. ?? And make people's mindset vulnerable towards oppression?

  8. Only the ones that didn’t take the advice and wisdom we were given by our fathers and fathers fathers about be a man , suck it up. Don’t cry , shake it off have this issue and it was taught to us cause we are supposed to be the Rock / stating hold / the MAN. The protector of our kids : wives : neighbors etc. that’s the whole entire point of this being given to us from birth. It’s only recently became a `problem’ ?? Cause we have way too many bathroom confused. Me too sissy’s running around making a big deal out of nothing. It’s simple you don’t like it. Don’t mess with it. Look at it. Talk to it. Etc everyone be and do as they WANT
