Reconstructing Masculinity

The article is interesting but I don't see how it is possible.

See, the thing is that I don't think men create and control our cultural definitions of masculinity. I think women create them and then project them onto men and I think they do this with a pavlovian conditioning mechanism....which mostly means rewarding good behavior with sex and affection. When women stop fucking dominant alpha male types then men will stop posturing to be that type.

If women chased after chess players in the same way they do footballers then we would have champion chess teams and micheal jordan and magic johnson would be sitting in the middle of a court playing chess and then it would be halftime and we would watch the cheerleaders dance around and afterwords women would swoon while men listen to the post chess game conference. I mean, c'mon.

Women talk about how men with scars and cars are sexy. They talk about how men in uniforms are sexy, jezebel just had a piece about how women want to fuck navy seals that killed bin laden. I could go on but really. How are we going to change this? We can go our own way but women have demonstrated that they would rather have part of a alpha than all of a beta. Men can stop marrying and stop cohabitating and stop fathering and some many will either choose or be a forever alone to stop fucking but most men aren't going to do all of the above.

I see that Michael Kimmel found himself a new lapdog.

I don't recall anybody suggesting that femininity needed to be de-constructed and re-constructed. On the contrary, women were given the options and choice to self determination.

Who the hell are YOU to define masculinity?
You are no better than the shitheads at MH101.
