It doesnt matter if we still live in modern times where women dont need to abide by gender roles anymore and thinking otherwise makes you a misogynist or whatever, if doesnt matter if you try your best to be fair, women will still expect those traditional masculinity expectations from you no matter how unfair it is, so you can be the most avid feminist ally around the block, you can be super progressive and an ultra women respecter, but it all wont mean anything if you fail to be: confident, secure, leader, charismatic, strong, stoic and many more other traditional masculinity expectations that women wont even try to meet, and thats why you still see many feminist still sleeping and fooling around with supposed misogynists, thats why aff/bb is a thing, thats why you see many liberal women bitching, complaining and resenting the men they settled down with whose only crime was not being a "toxic" masculine guy, thats why you see many women cheating on their good husbands with "toxic" masculine guys and making bullshit excuses about it. Sure you can "win" in the end....after your future wife gets tired of being used by those "assholes" and sees the value of such a nice guy like you......and also drops the bagagge and the resentment she carries from her past into you, and the best part is she wont even love you the way you need, but "love" you in the same way people love an status symbol or false appereances.

With this im not encouraging nobody to become an ultra conservative from a middle east country, im simply saying that i wont compromise on certain standards and expectations i have no matter how much blue haired progressives say they are outdated and regressive and neither should you, because women wont anyways, if dropping them actually granted men the love and respect they crave so much, i would do it withouth question, but it wont, so i wont compromise, neither should you.
