Millennial Men Ditching Traditional ‘Masculine’ Values, More Likely To Embrace ‘Emotional Strength’
Study Finds ^ | 12/1/2018 | Ben Renner

VANCOUVER — As the famous Village People song declares, “Every man wants to be a macho macho man / To have the kind of body, always in demand.” But are “macho macho” mindsets becoming a thing of the past? A new study finds that male millennials are drifting away from stereotypical masculine values.

The research, led by the University of British Columbia, showed that younger men tend to value selflessness, social engagement, and health over traditional male ideals like physical strength and autonomy.

Well, one of my sons, a millennial, played college football, and he said he absolutely appreciated the gay guys and sensitive males.

Because the gay guys and the sensitive guys all got “friend zoned,” which left a lot girls looking for “men,” very hot girls...

So go ahead guys, play the sensitive guy role, women don’t want wimps, they want men.

Well, except for liberal women, they want wimps, but if you have ever spent anytime with a liberal woman I think we can all agree that celibacy would be a better option than having to put up with their BS!!!

Moral of the story, just be a man, and not some fake pu$$y hat wearing, limp wristed, window licker, pants wetter...No woman worth being with would ever ask a man to be anything less than a man.

If you are not familiar with Trace Adkins (country music), you have to listen to his “Ladies Love Country Boys” song. Don’t doubt me on this one...

Did you know that “emotional strength” is synonymous with “emotional weakness” which has become known as “snowflake-like”?

We will see what happen when Millenial Women reject these modern day Betas.

These would not be betas but rather gammas or deltas (Brave New World - Huxley - 1932). Emotional strength is contra-indicated in a snowflake. Victimhood is the desired state!

"We will see what happen when Millenial Women reject these modern day Betas."

Women will not have a choice. As soon as a male show signs of "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchal" ideas, HR will be on their behind handing out pink slips along with empty boxes to clean out your office. If you do this at school from pre-school to Doctorate level, you will be buried.

If male CEO, supervisor, isolated business power displays the same, media/social networks be it national or local, will apply pressure to either quit or sued.

This is not a choice for either the male or female, this is about conditioning then control.

You’re right — false dichotomy here.

The Village People song extolled a kind of idolatry. That’s not going to turn out well. Godliness, on the other hand, will turn out well. “Look at Jesus.” Tough enough to endure the scorn of the Cross for the sake of the joy its work will bring — tender enough to win a timid sinner by His love.

“I don’t believe the majority of men feel this “wussy” way...”

You can tell one way or another if they vote democrat. It seems most (white) men vote republican.

Millennial women will probably embrace themselves!

They will throw themselves at the feet of their new Islamic slave masters.

Check out the pretty Swedish girls with their "Welcome Refugees" poster for a worked example. The beta males ("Sensitive new-age guys") will simply be killed off by those same Islamic slave masters.

We can already see the ongoing process in Europe. Coming soon to Canada and the USA.

A civilization dies when the people won’t defend it. We are watching that occur.

Sweden has gone through decades of social conditioning where the male citizen was suppressed in favor of feminism. Female "independence" with the help of artificial birth control has created a culture where the sexes compete and not compliment each other.

Birth rates then declined, because if you are a male, why would you want to marry a women who rode the male genitalia carousel. This has led to declining birth rates.

In order to create a larger tax base, they import 3rd world savages where the women easily outmatch the refugees on status and intellectual prowess. These savages are given preferential treatment by the government where in many cases, they rape "strong independent" females pictured in your post and are not jailed.

That is my favorite commercial to hate. I immediately reach for the Mute button when that crap comes on.

Does anyone really believe advertising works for any product other than a new one?

Have you ever bought a car because of a commercial? Gasoline? Pizza?

Thank you, KC!

This article touches on some of the reasons why I married an older man instead of one of these boy-child Millennials.

The Millennial Men are worthless and the Millennial Women are radicalized to keep them in their place.
Sure glad I’m NOT dating in this age group!

Are these the same emotional strongmen who pee themselves at 5he sight of a AR15, and demand safe spaces to be spared the trauma of differing opinions?

One sad trend I’ve seen at work,

When a male comes in to work realizes they have a flat tire. Older men will change it themselves, while younger lads will instead call AAA or their insurance company to come change it for them.

just shows the lack of masculine pride in the current younger generation
