I honestly do try pretty hard to be respectful. I dont think it is a good idea to shame folks for something they arent.

Since when did being a complete jerk equal masculinity? Both men and women(and girls and boys) are capable of being kind or cruel and those aren't feminine or masculine traits! Either gender has people who choose to be evil jerks, and both genders have people who choose to be kind and gentle. Oh, and meek does not mean weak. Meekness is more not picking certain battles because it's not worth it. Meek is strength under control. A man should look to Jesus to see what true masculinity looks like.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

Also: Bovine faeces to your claim. In my entire life not once have I ever heard it suggested by any of the tens of thousands of hours worth of liberal and leftist sources that I've listened to and read that it was a desirable goal to destroy the nuclear family. Your claim is just utterly wacko.
Although I myself from my own anthropology reading would point out to you that an extended family structure has numerous advantages over the nuclear family structure, and that the nuclear family structure is historically relatively new (early 20th century). But I suspect an extended family structure isn't what you're against. Many cultures throughout history have thrived with a massive variety of family structures.Last edited by Starlight; 01-16-2019, 06:03 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I think toxic masculinity is a reference to men whose mind has been distorted by the toxic hyperactivity control drugs given to them when they were children. The drugs distorted their neurons and made them aggressive and suicidal so as to imagine it a good idea to shoot up innocent people. This all is a consequence of leftist policies for the schools.

A new study illuminates why women can find combativeness attractive.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...aggressive-men
the thinking goes, women will maximize their reproductive success by choosing a macho man as a short-term mate for his genes, and a less masculine man with a warmer personality for a long-term, invested partner.
...
What did the researchers find? Women preferred aggressive men as short-term mates, and particularly during ovulation... At the same time, it is important to underscore that these men were preferred as short-term mates. Dominant men who derive pleasure from being aggressive deliver scant relationship benefits because they pose a threat to the family, show decreased parental investment, and have affairs. Consequently, and as expected, the women in this study preferred less aggressive men for long-term relationships.
So the macho men get the one night stands, but the nice guys get the girls long-term."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I am still waiting for that list of yours here. you still have a chance to disprove you are a bigoted hypocrite if you can come up with a list statements from that article Little Joe posted. It shouldn't be to hard if you read the article in question as you said you had, when you called almost half of the American voters morally depraved.

Originally posted by RumTumTugger View PostNO, Starlight the vast majority of older conservatives would be the ones that taught TheWall how not to be a jerk. Your prejudice is showing. sure there are some conservative men who are jerks, but some liberal men are as well, Harvey Wienstien ring a bell. So until you start calling out those bad actors on your side you are nothing but a bigoted hypocrite especially when you continue to paint conservatives with that broad brush of yours.
I'd say the majority of the older conservative men around here were taught to treat women like ladies and it is from the left that such behavior is derided.Last edited by rogue06; 01-17-2019, 05:10 AM.
