The bigger question is why are they doing it now and what is with the half hearted protection attempts?

i try to be consistent! lol. i just wish there were a little more consistency with public opinion on these allegations. it seems like the presumption of guilt/ innocence follows party affiliation. , for the record, i typically vote republican.

All in all I see all this as a attack on men as a whole.
From time immemorial they have had IT we have wanted IT and that made the world go round.
The cave man let the cave woman eat what he caught because he wanted IT

The modern family worked for a long time because young men would go to work and provide food and housing due a great deal to the fact that in return he would recieve IT on a regular basis.

Fast forward to today's new and improved world and any man who flirts with any woman is to be shamed.
How dare he ask a woman for a date or even tell her she is pretty.

It is an attack on males, we should all be ashamed of the very same emotions that make us men.

I'm old so it does not effect me but i do wonder what kind of men will be around 50 years from now

It does quite a bit with most people and that is sickening. I doubt those same people would be of the same kind if their little girl was pinned in an elevator and fondled. There's another facet of this which annoys me greatly; if a month before an election is "the right time" to bring these allegations to light, why not do it when it happened? It would have more creedence. What about the other women who could have been spared the anguish of being molested/attacked/raped. That bothers me.

Oh, I agree! It's hypocrisy at its finest. But hey, that goes both ways as well.

Aggressiveness. Strength. Choosing logic over emotion. Work ethic. Leadership. Stuff like that.....

men are becoming weaker (im assuming physically) id attribute this to an increase in non physical entertainment and non physical job demand.

choosing logic over emotion...i feel that this would be nearly impossible to quantify and subjective. but ive no ground to debate that opinion.

work ethic and leadership - are these masculine qualities? id say these attributes are not gender specific.

Coming from your liberal point of view, I can see how you dont understand/agree. But the sexes are different for a reason. Both have strengths and weaknesses. When paired they ( are supposed to ) capitalize on their combined strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Take aggressiveness as an example. This helps him secure food/work etc to provide for his family. The tenderness his wife ( should ) posesses is perfect for nurturing children. That is very convenient since she has the eqpt to feed the child etc. Pretty simple and obvious if put any kind of thought into it....

i dont agree. that does not mean i dont understand. and, i really dont see what any of this has to do with a liberal pov that you assume i have. i agree that God made men and women different and complimentary. i disagree that masculinity is declining. machismo may be, but not masculinity. the biggest indicator imo of a masculine man is a man after Gods own heart. a man that puts others before himself. a man that takes care of his business. kind. diligent. honest. humble.

completely subjective, but i think these qualities are on the rise.

Color me shocked. Especially considering the farmer/rancher part and you believing that masculinity is on the rise. I'm baffled at your way of thinking, that's for sure.

very real possibility that im out of touch with the pulse of the nation. i dont watch much tv (except aggie football) and, in all honestly, 95% of the people i encounter daily are very similar to myself (regarding religion/occupation/hobbies/etc)

I think Ironman was eluding to the point that, all of your interests and values don't usually mesh with your typically left-of-center political viewpoint. At least what we read on here.

i agree with most things i read on this forum. but im definitely more vocal about things that i dont agree with. for some reason i feel the need to interject with an unpopular opinion more than i do with the popular opinion. i guess im a contrarian.

If you think that men aren't becoming less masculine then you just haven't had reason to notice. It is about impossible to find young men that will do physical work any more. I'm 67 and have not had any young men that could keep up with me in the last 15 years. I have always paid more than twice minimum wage trying to get good ones, but to no avail. The large percentage of the ones I see are wussies of the highest level. The last 3 metal buildings I've built, I have built all by my self because............wussies.

It is cultural Marxism. If your background comes from a people who leftist perceive as oppressed you are encouraged to be masculine / criminal. If you come from a background leftist perceive as an oppressor you are encouraged to be submissive. It is a propaganda campaign that has be on going since at least the 1960's. Country folks in the USA are the last hold outs. That is why we are constantly targeted for derogatory criticism. IMO

Average testosterone levels have dropped significantly over the past 40 years, so medical science supports your observation.

I thought this started about Matt. I bet NBC won't hang any missletoe up at their Christmas party this year.

Probably because many kids are being fed soy
Soy scientifically lowers testosterone and raises estrogen.
The term Soy boy is a thing for a reason

I think the wuss in young men has a lot to do with the over protection by their parents. How many teenagers have to work at tough jobs in the summer?

Scary isn't it.... I see the same exact thing...

That car insurance commercial showing that young man on the phone with his dad who doesn't know what a lug wrench is says it all.... Sadly that describes much of the male youth 30 and under.. That's what we have coming... But HEY at least they have beards and tattoos....

Certainly no argument on that point from me.
These parents dont seem to act much like parents anymore.
I got a call at the FD at 11 at night one time to try and talk a child into taking his medication. Parents did not have the gumption to make him take the meds so we had to do it

I did not know there was a link between soy and increased estrogen. Learn something every day. I don't knowingly consume the stuff. But it sounds like too many men/boys do.
