This is kind of a shrug to me. Not a useful discussion. It equates "masculinity" with specific actions that are not especially important. Who pays for the first date just isn't that big a thing. I very briefly dated a guy who paid for EVERYthing to the point it quickly felt condescending and show-offy, and he wasn't my idea of masculine at all. The most masculine man I know now is also extremely liberal politically and personally. But I don't define "masculine" in terms of "pays for things, holds the door for the woman (only?), 'providing for' the woman." [/quote]

Exactly this. Paying for dates or going to work while I stay home is not masculinity. To me, masculinity means that I feel safe physically and emotionally in a man's presence. That he would stand up for me and protect me if I was being mistreated. In a partnership especially, it's the ability to have insight into my needs and the confidence to take care of them.

I can't say conservative men typically meet this bar.[/quote]

This makes zero sense.

“Feel safe physically and emotionally in a man’s presence”. Well DUH.

Ok, why would you stay in a relationship if he didn’t give you that?

“Stand up for you if you were being mistreated”

WTAF?

He would be the one doing the mistreatment in the relationship!!!!!

Seriously, I think this post was written by an AI bot, not a real woman. [/quote]
