History Are men less masculine today?

[FléauDeDieu]

I'm not even sure what masculine means - I don't drink or fight or even have much in common with masculine men. I'm solidly left wing, don't buy into Dana's rubbish about toxic masculinity not existing etc etc etc

Most of my interests/hobbies in life would very popular with women as well, like reading or writing. I don't particularly have much interest in sports or shooting or (fill in the blank).

For some reason though, I always notice a strong correlation between how much my life improves and also how much I adapt a masculine frame/mindset in life. I'm not sure why, but it...just works.

I ruminate less. I do more. I even feel like I'm moving forward in life instead of feeling sad or sorry for myself or anything like that.

People in general just respect me more as a masculine man. My words carry more weight. I feel less anxious about speaking up in general or doing what I feel is right.

Looking on it now, the more headaches in life I seemed to have the more expressive or feminine I tried to be. It just seemed to tire me and left me open to being hurt again and again.

Are men less masculine in general now? I think they are, but I'm not sure if it was a change in the right direction. So many men feel confused, isolated and lost in their place in the world and I wonder if this ight be one of the many reasons why.

Beer, porn, ufc.

Yes, men are less masculine and women are less feminine.

The reason being is people are more infantilized today. Immaturity is our actual spiritual pandemic of our time. People now act all too much like they are still in high school. The mindset is morphed to selfish individual consumption. Men troll, simp and prank. Women validate through social media. They combined forces to kill intelligence and class. Both are increasingly as "adults" living in fantasy worlds.

The modern divide isn't left versus right; it's people who can sit at the adult table and those who can't. The former group is shrinking, the latter expanding.

Some would argue not watching porn is masculine.

This is written so beautifully that I want to quote it in case anyone misses it..

I say yes, but I’m also into feminine things so my perspective is bias.

testosterone is linked to porn consumption, and testosterone is the principal male androgen

If inteligence was killed why are tv shows more complex compared to the past of like the 80s and most of the 90s?

We are gone ignore the HR coded lawfare elephant in the room?

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I hear men have less and less testosterone than the previous generation. It looks that way to, men are boyish looking than men of the past. Just based on my observation. I could be wrong.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

People have been complaining that “men aren’t men anymore” forever.

Men in the 1980s wore makeup and dressed as girls in front of sold out concerts with thousands of people. In the 70s they danced to disco in tight jeans or leather pants. Dudes in the 90s wore little jean shorts and fanny packs.

Men these days don’t do any of that.

There is a large community of sissies and femboys on Reddit that also embrace femininity. Sorryyy

Please clarify, you’re saying higher T = more porn?

If that’s the case my levels 1000+ lol

There is a relationship between graviating towards porn and higher testosterone levels, in a general sense, yes.

There will always be chads,sigmas and betas. The bigger problem is masculine women calling dudes "bro".
