Whats wrong with machismo?... Its like women rolling their eyes saying "boys will be boys".. What is wrong with boys being boys? Do they want them to be contrite and compliant asexual drones? Then, after years of this kind of eye rolling, the result is the man is just an organic tool for the meat grinder because boys will be boys =bad.. Being manly=bad or even a joke..
THEN... They complain that there is no real men left!!!
Screw that!
If women can be feminine then I will be as manly as I like

I have to ask, if this is all the Essence of Manhood, then, what is the Essence of Womanhood?
Why dont you make a thread about it?
This is about men...
But my view is that they want the same things as men.. Love, trust, to be noticed, to be a priorty, protected.. I think we all want those things..edit on 27-12-2012 by EvanB because: (no reason given)
This is hardly about men. This is about machismo.

If men and women want the same things, why are you pushing this artificial divide between men and women? Do you feel men and women are equals?

Machismo? That's a derogatory term contrived by feminist.
And your assertion that men and women are equal is blatantly false. Men and women are different. Get your chip off your shoulder if you think different means better. It doesn't. Nobody is talking about a superior/inferior framework except you.
Women want to feel safe around a man. This is cross-cultural. Men do not look to women to feel safe. Well, maybe wussy boy men, but that's what we're talking about here. How not to be a 21st emasculated wussy boy man.
Even in a relationship there is no equality. Who breaks the 50/50 tie vote? Somebody has to get their way. Men who appease women immediately cause the woman to lose attraction.
Obviously men and women are not equal. Women get pregnant. Men don't. Women therefore must be much more selective about who they have sex with. Men can have sex with 10 women in a week, get all ten pregnant, and have no consequence or responsibility.
Are you really going to argue that women and men are equal? Equal means the same. Men and women are not the same.

I believe there's gender differences from birth. I don't buy into the programming thing.
Even our hormone levels are naturally different, it makes our brain and body wiring opposite.edit on 27-12-2012 by stonebutterfly because: (no reason given)

Value is a perception, a belief, an abstraction that can't be proven or disproven, especially across the entire population of men and women.
How do you measure value? Does a mass murderer have the same value as Buddha?
Why is it so important for you focus on perceptions of equal value, or my beliefs about whether men and women have equal value?
Ps to all the men: the fastest way to destroy attraction in a relationship is to try to appease the woman. When women kick you in the balls, which they all do at some point, it's a test. If you try to appease them you fail the test.
If you don't believe me test it for yourself.
If you've been having trouble with women stop trying to appease them. You will triggers attraction in almost all women when you do this. And NEVER be jealous, needy, or insecure. That's game over. Done. There are plenty of men out there who women can choose to be with who don't act jealous, needy, or insecure.
"When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner as the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female: . . . then you will enter [the kingdom]."
~ Gnostic Gospel of Thomas
