Conventionally raising femininity while slowly suppressing Masculinity

No group of people like to be oppressed whether race or gender. It’s clear to me on this site that women are asking other women how men should act; that the best advice for a man’s behavior is solely suited for a woman’s analysis. It’s also clear that some women on this site and in society strongly promote femininity but are eager to dissect a man’s masculinity to where it’s convenient for them or extinct. Testosterone drives most men to dominate and strongly encourages them to aim high-to be the best. Masculinity is something innate in most men that can’t be conditioned. The only conditioning it has is a self-conscious one, to where most men don’t want to look socially incorrect. Most men I’ve talked to feel that being head of household is a man’s duty which doesn’t mean control and authority over everything. What those things maybe are different for every man. For me to list any of them would set up a stereotypical outlook, which would be dissected by some women and not speak for every man. A lot of men I’ve talked to don't discuss things like this in the opened like women because they know they'll get ridiculously backlash. Some men say that chivalry is a masculine trait towards women but women want to be treated equal. Some men believe acting boisterous is apart of masculinity but woman want to compress that type of behavior.

A male’s ego is sometimes easily bruised, but maybe some of the reasons why (nowadays) is because men are fighting for their distinctiveness; to be masculine in a society forcing them to change. Some men in relationships/marriage are made to feel emasculate (for whatever reason) or feel unappreciated to where they will try to prove their worth as men through dominance by oppose women’s beliefs of how men should act, which become very catastrophic. No man wants to be told how to act like a man by a woman which is evidently contrary. A lot of women are fighting for their identity today because of the movement. Working or Stay-At-Home mom/wife, wanting it all but can’t have it-wanting to be a stay at home, but feels she’s missing out on following her dreams and leaving a print of accomplishments on this earth-on the contrary, working is taking away from her fully enjoying every inch of being a mother and wife.

A lot of men continue to fight back, not wanting to marry, because they feel their place and identity as a man won’t be appreciated and respected. They feel once they “tie the knot”, they’re going to get a controlling feminist b*tch.
