![]() *takes monocle off and polishes it with handkerchief* the term "real man" here is loaded. simply accepting that as the language to argue over is tacitly accepting that there should be some adherence to a codified set of male gender norms that can be used to define real versus fake. *puts monocle back on, wiggles moustache*

His departure from quality sandwich making would decrease the number of returning customers, which the branding needs.

edit: It's not about how you think life should be lived personally (you're welcome to live your life using these ideals if you wish), it's about accepting the fact that others live differently.

![]() _.Spitfire._ summed up my thoughts perfectly. Thank you.
To elaborate, though, we're in a transitional period in society; thanks to feminism women have made a lot of progress and come closer to achieving equality. While that's great, it means that standards men have traditionally defined themselves by - as financial provider, as the man of the house, and more generally speaking as the dominant sex - are no longer relevant (serve to repress people who don't fit within those narrow bounds). We need to think more about how we define and understand men in a way that allows for gender equality and individual freedom. I'll break the article down in more detail below: Quote:
Furthermore, this "golden age" of manhood is a common myth - it came at the expense of women, who were 1) still expected to stay in the household (no longer true), 2) barred from expressing their sexual identities (still true but improving), and 3) deprived of the right to act and think for themselves (because men made their choices for them under the guise of protecting them). His "code of honor" reads more like benevolent sexism to me. Quote:
He ties the idea of bettering society and the world to the identity of men, which sounds good on paper but again has the implicit connotation that the same idea isn't tied to women. It doesn't help that he wrote another article about why women aren't really women anymore, either (a summary: victim blaming and slut shaming). Quote:
This article's a great read (and a good rebuttal to the above argument): it talks about how social media like Facebook has allowed teenage boys to more openly express their feelings, especially their insecurities, without the need to maintain order in a social hierarchy. Lastly, the Internet as a shield is both a good and a bad thing, depending on what you use it for. And even if people exploit it, it complements real-life interaction by preserving the basic human right to free speech, so it should be protected regardless of whether or not people can use it for questionable purposes.

None of these ideas are exactly new concepts - technology has always developed and will always develop. He puts all the importance on technology and none on how we choose to make it a part of our lives. Quote:

"PMSing" is yet another example of discrediting men by making them women - if the last sentence is evidence he also thinks women are weaklings, characterless and hopeless. He apparently also believes that women taking the initiative in a relationship is a problem because the only reason they would ever "wear the pants" in a family is if they had no other choice. Maybe it's because they, y'know, actually WANT to lead and take an active role in their relationships and families. You're a sexist ass. Sit down. Quote:
In short, this is a narrow-minded, sexist and ignorant think-piece that makes nothing but assumptions and can't even keep its own arguments straight. For those of you who found something that resonated with you (like popsicle3000), please don't take this the wrong way. I genuinely believe you should do WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY. But know that people like the writer of this article refuse to acknowledge or respect anybody who doesn't think like them, and the longer they try to pull everybody back into the past the harder it's going to be to make any progress.
