Be careful: theses new age men are feminine: relationship advice

[Barleymower]

I wish I could un-see that video that the OP linked. It is the worst thing that I have ever seen on the Cafe. No offense meant to the OP.

I didn't enjoy the video.

I will say this: what she sees as a "real man" is a man who provides for her and keeps her safe. He distinguishes himself from women by zero concern for himself or in any way enjoying clothes or than to look presentable. He is a strong servant (because he brings her everything she needs - he serves).

I (and all the men here who have families) provide, support, defend and love our families. I'm sure that the men here who don't have families would do the same. If that is being a man, then that is what I am.

I won't be dictated to by those I look after; who might think they can determine what constitutes my role and what I can and can't wear. If you want me to do the heavy lifting, fine but don't start thinking you can boss me about while I do it. Preach over.

Oddly, I have often wished I had been born female, but that didn't happen. Instead I was born a straight male. I can't explain it and I don't suppose Miss Faye would ever understand it.

Ah BM, the great mystery of the human condition!
The mistaken ones are those who explain in the belief that they do understand it.
Misguided at best and dangerous for much of the time.

I for one am glad I was born male. I didn't have to put up with menstruation and at my age of 72 years have the strength of a man, and I don't have the wrinkles that an older woman has. I also love having my deep manly voice.
I have managed to get out of the coffin sized constraints of acceptable clothing and grooming standards imposed on men.

One of the things that I have seen women do multiple time, especially since we are all getting older many of them assume that all men have the physical strength of a gorilla regardless of their physical condition. I have seen wives (usually 10 years younger than their husband) as their husband who has had back surgeries to move heavy objects while they work out every day in the gym and are very physically capable. When I see that it sickens me. Why do these wives do this? It is simple, because the husband is a man and therefore the stereotype that all men are physically strong applies. This stuff has got to stop! For example opening doors for women! I respect everyone and open doors for everyone, not just women. Men and women need to become REAL EQUALS first before men can ever win the battle to have skirts accepted for the average Joe. As long as women are thought-of as weaker, frail, and less than men, we can never win the battle of skirts for the average Joe.

Jamie in a lot of respects I agree. Men are not beasts of burden. I am not bothered that I do the heavy stuff and I have noticed that my wife is perfectly capable.

In my own life I am fighting one battle at a time. My wife is supportive that men have the right to wear what they want. She is however fighting the socialisation as much as me. She does do some of the heavier things that takes two with me but not too much. I'm not pushing her on that one.

I have checked though and things like the women and children first rule experienced on the Titanic is the exception rather than the rule. Men are more likely to survive a shipwreck than women. Survival rates among children is abysmal.

This is down more to men's abilities to get out of a pickle more than anything else -- we have to from time to time. Women usually don't, and children are usually protected by their parents and haven't yet learned some of the more basic survival tactics.

I say Miss Faye is really full of it. What she needs is a case of laxative. One thing she needs to be careful when the laxative takes effect is she had better not do a number two all at once. She might clog the toilet.

I thought the above posting might seem crude and then I saw other titles of her "fine erudite" videos she made and now I double down on my posting. Needless to say I don't need to waste my time viewing them and risk blowing a gasket.

I had a strong grip before I got arthritis in my hands. Now my hands have a weak grip. I also have arthritis in my knees.

Older men tend to get physical limitations. Which may not be obvious by looking at them.

Will not waste my time watching such people. I live in the real world and I have many within my world who are fine with me and my choice. I meet thousands yearly on my travels, especially as a volunteer, Room Steward and Tour Guide at 2 historic houses and I know as a man embracing freedom of choice, expression and individuality any negativity is very small, any direct challenge is 5 incidents in 13 years.

The many people like her are only prominent on social media.
