To totally misquote scarface...

First you get the money

Then you get the power

Then you get the ladies

Any men here or is this just a bunch of women making up random thoughts about men?

As a man I can tell you the answer. It’s other men who act in a way that forces you to act strong and aggressive just so that you do not stand out as a victim and get assaulted. Men have to be tough in front of aggressive men or else they become victims. This leads to this exponential increase in toxic masculinity.

Definitely a thing. Especially if they have overbearing helicopter moms who brow beat them and everyone. Smothers, hen-pecking nags, etc.

Boys with more laid back moms and traditional dads tend to become more easy going masculine types who aren't plagued with anxiety and don't act like weak submissives.


I think it's more of a cultural shift, less about specific family dymanics, as my teens' friends come from a variety of family compositions. The current generation of Gen X and Older Millennial dads are viewed as softer and less traditionally masculine than our grandfathers' generation. Teen boys aren't about abusing women (hardly, they seem whipped by their girlfriends). It's more than they feel like they are victims of DEI policies. Even the boys with moderate or liberal parents are into the MAGA Trump movement - when Trump took a bullet, they all loved him even more. They think they are an oppressed group of privileged white boys who need to take back their power.



In some ways white boys are actually being oppressed. Why not acknowledge that reality?

Resident incel weighing in on things he knows nothing about! Feel free to discard this view as this person hasn't left their basement in a few weeks and has definitely never touched a woman. (at least consensually).


LMAO, oh you sweet summer child. Back to class now.

I hope youre keeping an eye on this. Fixing things to be masculine? Great. Abusing women to be masculine? Not so great. It's

I'm a feminist. I cannot fathom what is wrong with raising a generation of physically and emotionally strong men. You all were okay with Black men being strong, but not white men? Is that it? And the use of the word female seems to have only become derogatory once we accepted that women can no longer be defined by their biology. The true cannot be said of "males." There is no good reason for "female" to be seen as derogatory. I am proud, as a woman, of my reproductive characteristics!

Some are grown in their 20s also as the oldest millennials are in their mid 40s now. Some kids of boomer men are in elementary school as they had kids later in life.

It varies, like opinions.


So what's the takeaway of the previous comment? That people who have kids when they are young can rely too much on screens? Maybe?


That's never a good thing for any age parent.
