Feminism destroying masculinity?

Aggression, power, competitiveness (the things that largely drove the advancement of society) are all now labelled as "toxic". The only traditionally masculine trait still held in high esteem is self-sacrifice (of time, money,health or life) for the benefit of women and children.

In short, the feminist ideal male is a weak, submissive man who is willing to die without complaint.

The constant portrayal of women kicking the asses of men in movies. Heck, you can't even learn martial arts without accepting these 100lb jokes of a blackbelt girls as superior, while they shouldn't even be there in the same class as men. We have reached peak emasculation, when such uncontested facts as the strength and athleticism of men are disputed. Men are strong, women are weak and no amount of training is going to make women ever kick the ass of a moderately athletic man.

Female soldiers, female firefighters, policewomen, female martial artists are nothing more than feminist caricatures who survive on coddling and double standards while receiving the same prestige. A masculine society would laugh at the very idea of the above, yet here we are...

Tell us what you think masculinity is and then maybe we can tell you whether or not we think it's getting destroyed.

Have you watched a sitcom at any point in the last 15 years?

I think it depends on the feminist, there are certainly the man haters out there who do want all forms of 'masculinity' destroyed. However I think it is mainly that the rest of the feminists and their constant preaching about how bad 'toxic masculinity' is and how much they generally do everything they can to belittle and demean men for being themselves is likely what is destroying masculinity rather than any genuine effort on their part.

It's a classic case of how these feminists think that behaving so horribly towards them and treating them all as potential rapists and so on for normal male behaviour is more damaging than anything the even more extreme man haters can pull out of their arses.

One of the examples of this would be dating behaviour and how you cannot win with a feminist at all, if you're nice to her you're a creep or you have an ulterior motive because that's how 'all' nice guys are, they're just trying to get laid. If you treat them equally then you're being sexist and then of course if you do things the traditional way of opening the door for them and being polite etc. then that's 'benevolent' sexism. That's one of the main examples I would use but they think they're doing men a favour by treating them that way when in reality they're making the environment itself so damn toxic it's not even worth asking girls out anymore and taking the risk.
