"Real men" = men who do what women want
Common usage: "Be a (real) man and <insert stupid task or shit test here>".

Why do you care what women think? Genuinely curious.

I would argue that it’s because he’s been programmed to.
[–]ExcessivelyDetailed2 points 5 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Don't be judgey. We all have to some extent, and we're here now to be deprogrammed.
[–]Ecl1ps3_O2 points 5 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I was specifically being un-judgey and I agree, that’s why we’re here. And to be aware and to try and come up with solutions for men’s issues.

Thank you! I'm growing tired of these posts where guys are complaining about women. Maybe we need. MGTOW3 where complaining about women is a rule and strictly enforced. Hell, I'd rather read a story about a guy finding a good and rare woman for a partner.

Can’t blame them. Men are dumb and women are sociopaths. What other result would there be?

Because when women call a straight man “gay” they don’t mean, “you like men”. They mean “I am triggering shame in you for not doing what I want (in this case, I’m guessing not being interested romantically.)” And the association of that shame trigger with the concept of “real men” is proof of that. It’s all in accordance with The Pact. We men have been programmed to feel strong internal emotions with the use of specific words and key phrases, as established by mommy for personal use by the women in our young adult and adult lives.
When you know things like that, and keep them in mind, those triggers begin to lose their affect, and we can slowly shuffle off the chains. But knowing is half the battle.

No more going to an office full of women

... an office full of women
get a drink, take a chair warning: this is long winded but still summarized for brevity.
I left IT for a field tech job and one of the worst things in the office was :
Setting: Nice huge high tech building with all comforts, gym, free kitchen stocked of everything, caterers for lunch, beer fridays (yes, we drank at work) + 200 staff, huge spread out office, sales, accounting depts were all wahmyn except for one dude. He was also asian and cool.
He was just out of college, so he got the lowest pay, still was by far the easiest person to support if/when needed. He caused zero problems among a sea of chickens balking all f*ing day while his wahmyn collegues (with 10x the 'experience" needed support all the time, like infants.
One day I was at his desk pc doing data recovery (he got the old pc) and we were merely talking to each other. We were being men and I berated him a little on something trivial (something like "hey, I don't think I can save your waifu" and he was giving me the same thing I dished out, we were just talking and having fun. I got that he was rarely allowed to talk or at least talk with another dude.
Me and my whole team were in the back of the building (like IT-Crowd) and we could completely isolate ourselves... so, back to being at his desk.
There were nerf guns allowed (we were a good sized startup in the startup hayday) and we got into a slight nerf war, and the devs from across the room (like 30 ' away and around a corner) got into it too, as we took flak from the kitchen and instead of us shooting each other, we were on the defensive from the Devs strike force (they won btw).
So, after that went down, the boys in the company sort of took over the area for about 5 minutes before they retired back to their area and I completed the task at hand. ... and so, I got up to go.
Before I could leave I was stopped by a very young (in college) 19yo *(also fairly hot, like a deer in headlights, naive, extremely naive. ) by getting in my way and staring to chastise me and him with "you two need to stop behaving like that, it's scaring me and I don't like it" with a full grandma attitude and literally laughed at her and shot her with a nerf dart as I walked away.
ok, sounds fun...right? It was, the place was a decent place to work (especially in the back like me) and that day was the last fu**ing day we had nerf guns too...
She marched her offended ass to HR and made a stink. HR defended us, and yet somehow that hoe got the entire company to ban nerf guns. We all knew who did it, and she got sort of snubbed for it, yet still that was the last hurrah of that place, and after that day, moral dropped, and well, I will stop there b/c that's the point.... One overly sensitive wahmyn ruined a great place for everyone b/c of fee-fees.
Lots of great and creative people left wtihin 6 months for better jobs and by that time they couldn't attract any more quality devs, which killed the business. I was in charge of reclaiming the hardware of over 120 people as the company went to skeleton crew and guess who stayed?
I left about 2 years later after the dust settled for better opertunities too. However, that one day, was literally the last great nerf battle in all of the startup wars ever fought. It was a glorious day and time, and it all got destroyed by one single snowflake.

how nerf guns destroyed a company

This comes down to the gigantic need to have sex we men have.
If you are a man and you are called/deemed as gay that directly implies you wont get laid, you are not sex material, or you dont know how to please a woman, and so on, wich is terrifyng for us.
It has nothing to do with actually being gay thats irrelevant for the insults purpose.
I completely agree with you on the second point either both sexes get to define the other sexes ''real role'' or neither gets to do it, feminist want to define real men while stripping women from all gender roles wich is complete bs.

When women spout off about what "a real man" does, it's always something that benefits them. Always. It's never, "A real man is someone who tells the truth, regardless of whether other people like it." Or, "a real man is someone who sticks by his principles."
It's always stuff like, "A real man treats women respectfully" or "A real man stands up for his woman's honor" or "A real man has a good job (i.e., resources)." "A real man dates a single woman." "A real man isn't afraid of marriage." "A real man isn't intimidated by a strong independent woman." And so on. It's always about how the man treats (values) them, never really about the man's character.
We shouldn't let women define what a "real man" is anyhow. It is condescending and arrogant. They are not men. They have no clue.

Women’s opinions should rarely be listened to.
[–]Man_E-bro2 points 5 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Women really like the LGBT because straight men don't like it. I have a feeling that if straight men really didn't rag on each other about being gay or seen with a trans person.. that women would see them as competition then instead of not competition at all and funny. They know they wouldn't be a complete with another man.. just a thought tho. And I'm 100% straight. I just feel like women do anything and like anything a straight man wouldn't.

A gay man ain’t a real man but be the buffest dude in the damn gym, and got his shit together. What a society we live in.
[–]WrongTime011 point 5 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
The correct response to being called ‘gay’ as an insult is to find the nearest homie and give him a smooch

My definition: if the organism has functioning dick then he's male. A MAN in case of humans.
