Pseudo is fake
My definition is false manhood.....ie manhood being defined by how many women you sleep with....how much money you have and how well you can fight.....its false and fake manhood/masculinity......
So called hyper masculinity is being defined by FEMINIST as over aggressive male behavior....and its only deemed that way when it goes past the boundaries of what feminist thing male behavior should be....
Many FEMINIST try to call so called hypermasculinity violence or sexual aggression....meanwhile women can be both...so how is that hyper masculine?
Pseudo or hyper the bottom line is a recognition of some kind of deviation from the norm. And feminist aren't the only ones questioning where the line is drawn...the fact that you have your own term for the issue illustrates that. So getting into some discussion about who's agenda is it is is pointless because no one ever gets to the actual topic regardless of who brought it up.
And women don't get a pass for it. Women who exhibit aggressive behavior are ostracized by both men and women. Butch lesbians are a perfect example.
Concerning men relating to men.....i think some of the things in the video are necessary for certain environments that males find themselves.....in grade school sometimes appearing tough is necessary in order to keep other boys from wanting to test you...something that will never change because it is primitive male behavior that maturity curbs......
Wrestling and playing rough with boys is NORMAL BOY BEHAVIOUR that FEMINIST want to call hypermasculine because it doesn t fit their box....and that is sad....
And yes...sometimes boys need an emptional outlet...so there doe have to be balance....but eliminating a violent solution completely from the option list is not how the world was shaped........ie revolutions from tyranny, wars against corrupt governments....etc.
To your first point: Maturity doesn't curb it. By and large you see the continuation of that behavior going into adulthood. Jonathan Martin exposed that as well as other athletes. You said you think some of the things in the video are necessary for certain environments that males find themselves.. and what environment would that be? The locker room in gym class? The school yard? A frat house? The cubicle in the work place? A night club? All of these environments are the places were you can find men exhibiting extreme aggressive behavior and mentality. And where you can find groups of men perpetuating those beliefs that expressing emotion or sensitivity is soft and should be avoided. These aren't life and death situations. The subtitle of the video is
an exploration of American masculinity. thats why I said we live in a FIRST WORLD INDUSTRIALIZED NATION that has the SAFEST environments one can be in (comparatively speaking) yet you see some dudes walking around like theyre a cross between Deebo and Adibisi. This is WHY it needs to be questioned and WHY we as men need to figure what the hell is going on rather than point fingers about who's agenda it is.
2. No one said wrestling and rough play is hyper masculine..the video trailer doesn't make that connection. The issue is the various ways respect is linked to violence and the subtle and not to subtle push on boys to suppress their emotions or sensitivities.
3. replace revolutions from tyranny, wars against corrupt governments....etc. with work place/school shootings, inner city street killings and spree killings and thats what we're dealing with in america. And all of those are committed by men almost solely.
He can ignore it......why can t he ignore it?
Why couldn't the others recognize that he no longer wanted to play like that or that they crossed a line and just stop fucking with him??
The OP's post are usually some sort of attack manhood protect femininity type of shit. I've noticed it for a while...on top of some suspect speech he uses on the board. The Internet is full of strange people pushing an agenda on the real.
Like what was said before if there is hyper masculinity then where do we see hyper femininity used, displayed and discussed with disdain??
And this is a dismissal of the topic by attacking the person who brought it up..typical CAC tactic 101..
You laid down your opinion thats all needs to be said and fuck anyone else who disagrees with it. They MUST have some kind of AGENDA!!! *que dramatic music*
When did the board develop this fucked up group think intolerance to debate or discussion on any serious subject
