Masculinity ought to be defined in terms of relationships. Second thing, it ought to be defined by commitment to a cause.

Its funny that we need this thing called "masculinity" to "define" how all men should live their lives in tbe first place. Imagine if they proposed a "femininity" that defined how all women should act and behave. There would be outrage at the idea that anyone can tell women what to do.

Why can't men just be free to live their lives and individuals and putting their own interests first? Because that doesnt benefit women. Feminisms vision of the world is dependant on men acting and living in a certain way, and these sort of articles are just an attempt to manipulate boys in particular to fulfill that vision.

When I see reeking horseshit like this posted on this sub it makes me glad I am also subscribed to r/theredpill (even though I dont eat it) for their unequivical promotion of men and boys living life their way, for themselves, only exploiting this misandristic society for what its worth.

Personally, I want boys and men to be free of all the "manly" expectations that are designed to benefit women.

Football is just a game. Politics, dating and marriage are for life.

Otherwise, what they are talking about, is just more of the same crap.

This is not pro male. It is feminist motivated abuse. They only want to free boys from "being men" because they think it will benefit women. It is part of a deliberate feminist strategy of dressing feminism up as "helping" men under false pretences so men will buy into it. Its a popular feminist meme that men are suffering under the yoke and expectations of patriarchal stereotypes - the reality is the greatest threat to boys self esteem is feminism and the constant linking of rape and domestic violence and all things bad in the world to men, and the male sexuality. Dont buy into it, its false, strategic propaganda.

If you're going to be a man in this world, you better learn how to dominate and control people and circumstances.

Aww, this isn't just a ruse to talk about domestic violence is it? Do you think they would also say young girls should not be taught to control and dominate?

Lets not take the eye off the ball - it is feminism that is, and has overehelmingly hurt men, boys and fathers.

I have been marginally paying attention to their segments on masculinity and male problems this summer and from what I've listened to it has been refreshingly excellent. Very diverse array of interviews and conversations

Holy crap, a pro-male article from NPR! Excellent stuff.

I'd like to see a twin article on this by them, talking about being a women.

And somewhere in there say "On what it means to be a woman: It think it can only be defined by two things..."

I think the aim of the article is sympathetic and an introspection on what men are doing, but its still got a way to go to think outside the box they have lived in. At least they are trying.

On what it means to be a man: It think it can only be defined by two things...

<snip>

...That's the underline of all humanity — men and women.

So, er, you're saying that what it means to be a man is the same as what it means to be a good human being, regardless of whether you are a man or woman? I pretty much have to agree, but I still have to just say thank you for wasting all of our time.

"Be. A. Cuck."

It's easier to dominate your political opponents once you've convinced them to castrate themselves.
