[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men act like tough guys because the girls aren't vying for the attention of the soft and gentle men. Go to the high school and colleges - what are the qualities of the guys the prettiest girls (who, generally speaking, have the most options when it comes to guys) are trying to date? Are those guys displaying traditionally masculine traits? Are those guys displaying soft and gentle traits? Or is it an even mix between those things?

Because men will, by and large, try to develop those traits that will get them laid by the prettiest women. [/quote]

Are you suggesting that this standard is a good standard? That it is supportive and empowering to everyone? That these standards are positive for society? [/quote]

Not putting normative values on it, I'm describing the process. You get what's rewarded. If you can figure out a way to cause pretty girls to be sexually excited by soft and gentle men, I think societal gender dynamics will change pretty quickly. [/quote]

Only pretty girls? Why would feminists only care about what pretty girls want? Feminists care about all girls, and all boys, too. Pretty, athletic, tough, soft, in shape, out of shape, tall, short, etc. I don't think feminism exists so that men get rewarded by a pretty girl for acting a certain way. Girls are not a reward. Girls are human beings. Girls and boys should have a choice in who they are and what they do. Who they are attracted to is part of that choice, but it's not any movement's fault if pretty girls aren't choosing you personally. Understand?[/quote]
