Manly BS
I’m a man
That I am
The morning’s chill
But I don’t care
See, my chest is bare
‘Cause I’m a man
When I catch that chill
As I surely will
I won’t cry
As I die
‘Caue I’m a man
Understand?
To prove myself
I’ll play the game
Bear the pain ’cause
I’m a man
Bull Shit!

That’s a great depiction of some men. 👍

Unfortunately, they are the product of culturization, from their elders, peers, and teachers. The sonner that ends, the better…; -)

Yes, it certainly is, and though I’ve tried to present it humorously, it’s not really a laughing matter. That culture needs to change…; -)

As long as it’s not taken to extreme. We have too many lost young men as is because being masculine is ridiculed. Too many in our society want to make boys more like girls, and it’s not in their nature.

Agree to an extent. But that hasn’t been my cultural experience. The culturization I expereinced was seething in toxic masculinity… the stupid kind… And that’s pretty much what I see around me here. I’m sure there are places where your concerns are warrented. But certainly not where I’m living now…; -)
