They don't have any, it has always been a matter of the pot calling the kettle black.

Women should never utter phrases such as "Grow a pair," "Man up", "Be a man", etc. Since they are biologically and emotionally unqualified to do such things themselves, they have no right to demand it of us. What's more, they have no idea what real manhood is. Only we do. They know what they want from us as slaves, but their ideas of manliness are only guesses at best, manipulation at worst.

Absolutely because the people who usually state it are women (and a few men) who want you to fit this made up stereotype of a messy, dirty, abusive, macho, hard, violent, excessively sexual, controlling, dumb person or to be Edward Cullen...

To just be a man isn't enough. Fatherly isn't manly, humble isn't manly, happy or cheerful isn't manly, and unchivalrious(don't hold open doors) is most certainly not manly, peaceful is not manly, sensitive or weak is not manly. Often too the same people who ask you to be "manly" then complain when you are manly because you are "abusive" or" sex crazed"

And feminists think men have messed up views of women.

I'm surprised that that kettle hasn't yet been imprisoned for inciting racial hatred.............

.........anyway, yes, what always amazes yours truly, is how, on the one hand, masculinity is insulted; yet, on the other, men are frequently being told to "man up". Of course, this is down to women wanting us to be masculine as and when it suits them; with "man up" being a favourite line, in the language of shaming, used when there's an area of masculinity to be exploited for personal gain, on the part of women (usually).

I've also yet to hear "women up" being used.............I may have some wait, given the far greater frequency, with which MEN are shamed and bound to adhere to gender stereotypes.

You hit the nail on the head with that one.

Yes, I think it is sexist to insult a man in such a way.More importantly perhaps, I think it is one of the key ways in which men arekept in their place. Any man trying to live up to being manly, and lets face itthat would be the vast majority, then feel compelled to deny their weaknessesand vulnerabilities; can you think of a better way to make a man shut up, stop “whining”and complaining, and to shame him into accepting being treated badly? In fact I would go so far as to say that if we want men to start standing up for themselves we have to encourage them to have the confidence to be what they are and to resist the social pressure to live up to other peoples expectations.

People have an idea what manly stuff is and what isnt.. Like they know whats feminine and unfeminine.. But at the end of the day, it doesnt really matter, each person can choose what they want to be and do and thank fuck for that!

So, if I look unmanly in my wife's underwear so what? You dont need to come and watch me getting prepared for another hard night at the gay bar..

Women generally define 'manliness' in terms of what benefits them at the detriment of men. Try reversing the exercise and brace yourself for an onslaught of unhinged oestrogen-fuelled fury. Double-standards? Absolutely!

Only men can define what it is to be a man, and this must be held as a sacred fundamental which underpins our distinct identity. It is ours alone. We are not appeasing gimps, confused transvestites or aspiring hermaphrodites. We must become the guardians of manly virtues or perish. Women as well as feminists understand our strength lies in traditional masculinity, so they constantly attempt to undermine and redefine it in gynocentric terms.

Feminists realize men can be easier conquered if they forego all their manly traits, and are assimilated into a androgynous glob where effeminate and servile tendencies are encouraged. As men, we own the copyright to manliness and infringements should be dealt with harshly!

Yes, it's quite sexist. Man up, grow a pair, take it like a man, and so on ad nasaeum. Women want men to be malleable, expecting their social ques to be immediately acted upon. If they are not, the insults fly. Especially if they are not getting their own way.

yea, no kidding. Right on the mark.

Women try to destroy men and manhood to their own detriment. They cannot survive with out manly men. Women who know this and respect men are happy and sane. Women who try to compete with men and attack men every chance they get literally become mentally ill and miserable.

Who decides whats manly and whats not?

My kettle is white, so I must be a racist.

Felixblu, I suggest you buy your missus some y-fronts. You will find some on the lingerie racks as some women like to buy and wear men's stuff, and copy them for themselves. You could be a trend-setter in the gay bar.



As the buggers from Yorkshire say, 'Gay-oop lad".

I think the most manly thing a man can do is just KNOW he is manly.. And not worry what others think!! "I am male, therefore what I do is manly.."..

I have to admit, sometimes I do wonder if I do something very womanly often.. That being talk excessively and contractictively about nothing of the least importance for no good reason whatsoever..
