| ^^^ I have to agree with that poster. My impression is the only guys who hang out on dcum are girly woossy men. |
Okay. Check back in a few years and let me know if we're extinct, wouldja? |

Anyone who has a son should want stereotypes about masculinity to be challenged. It’s leading to violence and all kinds of problems because men think it’s only ok to express anger or apathy. Most men want something more and when they can’t get it, have a greater risk of difficulties with addiction, divorce, sexual assault. Read the recent nyt article by Andrew Reiner. Or the secret life of Boys by Niobe way.

It's spelled "wussy" because it's derived from "pussy." The value of the insult comes from the idea that women are lesser than men, and, therefore, it's insulting for a man to be like a woman. |
No, the idea comes from the fact that men are failing to be masculine. Just like calling a woman a "d*ke" would be an insult to her femininity |
sure. And the men in CO ride ?, hike and something weed. Very manly. |
Haha! My autocorrect kept changing it to different things. Okay. Men who hand out on the dcum board seem like wussy girly men. |
Interesting article. I think part of the reason we train men to clamp down on their emotions is for the same reason I train my big dog much more rigorously than I train my little dog. The big dog's outbursts are likely to cause damage. The little dog's outbursts are endearing because he doesn't have as much potential to harm someone. |
+1 Because they are. They're also very gossipy and bitchy |
There you go. But proper spelling gets women turned on, right? Please tell me they don't also love guys who can't spell. |
Exhibit A. NP, btw. |
Can't say I like them like that exactly, but can't stand the other type. I couldn't talk to him, couldn't ask him anything, he just didn't know shit. He wanted to order me a pink (why pink?) knife for my birthday as he browsed his favorite sites. Why do I want that idiot controlling me ever so slowly? Pink? Really? He wanted the knife for me. He had no idea what I may have wanted. He did get me a pink Harley Davidson's t-shirt. He even missed that I didn't like motor bikes. Told him the first time we met, and only got on his Harley for a minute to get him to stop asking. Talk about stereotypes and gender roles. The dumbest fukk I've eve met and I've met a lot of guys in my 20 years in US. If the countryside is full of them, I'm going nowhere from the coasts. |
Odd. The guys I know who grew up here tinker with things all the time, though less so as we age. I've swapped out a starter, replaced a disposal, repaired the dryer and oven, repaired the chimney, and I'm not particularly good at this stuff. But you know what? My wife still wasn't happy because I didn't fix things on her schedule. |
I’m really saddened by how narrowly we, as women, define what is masculine. I mean can you imagine the reaction if a man today said that a woman who did not keep the home churning (cooking, cleaning) and was not fallen all over herself to be with her children every minut was not feminine? And there many, many women in our area who match that description. The truth is, we will not progress in the workplace, at home, etc until we give boys space to grow up to be more than provider, fixers, and all this other tropes. For crying out loud, OP, complained that she meets guys who read books rather than watch TV (sports). |
Not true, I have been here from theWest Coast for 6 years and am still amazed at the men here are basically ladies external ovaries. |
