I have to agree with you there; American men need to take their lives back, discover and maintain their masculinity and grow up. Even conservative men are getting too mixed up in the ‘metrosexualism’ that is plaguing the culture of men. As for intimacy, don’t do it if you don’t’ want a kid with this woman.
Thank you...’metrosexual’... that was the word I was trying to think of when I said ‘fluffy socialist society’. It is sad that we even have to have a word for effeminate male behavior. “Too many mothers and not enough wives”, I guess.
As for the intimacy I am the female, but I know what you are saying....its true. I also believe we have ‘babied’ our children to the point that the boys do not want to ‘grow up, or establish that masculinity, with which comes responsibility for the family.
I was a tomboy myself, climbing trees and working on the farm....overhauls and catching night crawlers, but I had a feminine side that developed normally in the teen years. I was in the military reserves for many years, yet in a rate more suited to my gender. That of course explains my fearless, strong, and opinionated posts.
Strong women attract weaker men and that is the downside, imho, of the changes over the past few decades. Which may explain the billions of dollars raked in for romantic movies, books, and the female escape to a more appropriate male-female relationship era fifty to one hundred years ago, etc.....falsely reclaimed through entertainment.
I can’t speak for the males, and what they are thinking.
