A YouGov study and documentary has found that only 2% of British young men even consider themselves masculine, with the majority believing themselves to be something in between manly and feminine. Apparently, most view the word masculine as a sort of dirty word.
From YouGov:
[Snip of YouGov quote...]
Of most interest is the implication that men who identify themselves as masculine actually live more psychologically healthy lives. "Psychologically" in the sense that they aren't killing themselves, as suicide is the biggest problem facing UK young men. The words of the study, that they are willing to "talk about their feelings" more, probably indicates an increased confidence level among self-identifying masculine men. While the feminine men, who find masculinity a dirty word, are probably very insecure. This matches up with my personal observations as well.
In the USA, more than 40% of American young men view themselves as completely masculine, which is at least better than 2%. I believe I have read different studies that say suicide, however, is a very serious problem here too.
I've never been one to thump my chest about how macho I am, since generally, among Hispanics, Machismo is closely tied with lechery and adultery. (This is why, if you ever hear of a Latino politician being accused of having an affair, it is probably true.) But obviously men need strong male role models and to embrace their maleness and all that that implies, at least according to the Biblical definition. Trying to live as something else other than what you are only invites mental disease and hardship. Young boys should be trained to be confident, honorable and strong. A failure to do so only leads to dysfunction, as seen with what has happened to the British.
Which reminds me that mental illness is rampant in the homosexual/transsexual community, though modern day psychologists not only underestimate rates of mental illness, but typically blame this on a bigoted society that drives them to madness. However, these results are the same in every country, even in places like Sweden that are very gay friendly.
My personal experience is that almost every single homosexual or transsexual I have met (and there are a lot in the English department at my old university) frequently speak of their suicide attempts or of the fact that they visit a therapist. I even met a girl once who openly spoke about being diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. Some days she dressed like a girl, other days she dressed like a guy. As a "man" she was very rude and anti-social, barely speaking more than a word in classes that required group discussion. As a girl she was very rude but a little more social. That was the difference between her two personalities. I feel sorry for them, but their instability and mental issues are the dirty little secret of the "LGBTQ" world.
Presuming you can find a chick there that isn’t a chronic drunk and dowdy with bad teeth.
The latter is defintely gay: furry slips, a stupid useless top.
I wasn’t being sarcastic.
Government schooling was invented in Prussia to destroy the family and Christianity. It was brought to the U.S. for the same purpose.
And this is why they will make good slaves to thier master muslims. bye bye
The capitulation of men continues.
They’re realists - they know that saying they are masculine won’t make it so.......
No surprise there... Do they even have a word for it in France or Sweden?
They are male. How they “identify” is utterly irrelevant.
do I really have to say it???
It was done to unify the germany states into the First Reich. It had nothing to do with destroying family or religion.
Right. And the Tooth Fairy was Chancellor.
We noticed that.
"Who the **** called me feminine. I will effing tear out their lungs."
Metrosexuals: Homosexuals that can’t get laid.
frankly, the teachers who have been complicit in this degeneration of their students should be taken out and shot.
I like Last Man Standing
Oh okay. Now I understand the angle you were looking at this from. Yeah. I agree. Any government mandated schooling curriculum is bound to be bad in many different forms.
Common Core is a prime example. Back door, heck, not even back door; front door brainwashing and indoctrination programming of kids K-12 then pass some off to the extreme far left liberal professors to really finish the job for those who think higher learning at a liberal college is actually an education.
Some of the worst are the most famous. Harvard, Yale, Occidental, Columbia, etc. etc.
Well, I’m guessing that the figure on the left, in pink, would be described as macho in the UK.
