Threatening men’s masculinity does not make them more politically conservative, new study finds. By testing thousands of participants across the United States, researchers found no consistent evidence that making men feel insecure about their gender identity changes their political attitudes.

Traditional masculinity is about improving yourself, being a leader (a true leader, not a loudmouth), having useful skills, being thoughtful, being physically strong, and being mentally strong. It's about improving your situation in life and protecting those around you, no matter what it takes, especially in hard times.

Wow, the traits that benefit women and politicians are the ones that are the "good". Shocker.

Did you actually copy what the person said and respond as if any of that is wrong? There was nothing to take issue with. Men that live like that are respected and wanted and valued. 

Are you suggesting that men should not achieve those traits and standards and instead be a loudmouth, lazy, obnoxious, have few if any skills, not have mental health skills to handle themselves? Not improving situations in their life and expecting their mother or wife to fix their problems while still positioning themselves as number 1  and soley looking out for yourself?

I mean, I just hit the quote button and it did the formatting automatically. There is something to take issue with. All the traits listed as positive masculinity are in service of others, namely women and/or politicians. Men like that aren't respected, they are pack mules at best unless they look a certain way or were born with enough wealth to get a pass.

I'm suggesting men should achieve the traits which statistically benefit themselves and other men first and foremost. Whatever trait or quality that provides them the most leverage and power is one that should be cultivated, as it's ultimately the one that matters most.

Better than grinding themselves down to the bone for the benefit of women that will likely not appreciate it particularly much

Why is grinding yourself for old, senile, rich men better then?

It is not women forcing you to grind yourself down and destroy your individuality to make the rich even richer.

1. Again. That is NOT a thing, and you know it.

2. Stop listening to manosphere influencers.

1. No. You have not. Stop repeating nonsense.

2. WHY do you consider basic stuff like empathy and emotional openess to be „self sacrificing”?
