Being a man is simply about having a y chromosome, stop using shaming tactics, they are the essence of blue beta shit
herd will deny your identity is a pathetic tactic that made men so malleable in the past, making them die in trenches, making them toil like horses for the pussy and other stuff.
However men were never more "manly" than today. If you look at pictures of average guy today or an average guy in 1930 or compare how a "sex symbol" man looked than and now... I don't think you can compare thin, petite, clean shaved, babyskinned narrow-faced guys like Rudolph Valentino, Bogart or Elvis to what todays wide-skulled square-jawed, bearded, grizzly, tattooed tanks twice the muscle mass look like...
Even comparing the behavior back than... what do we think of as beta behavior... but then men opened doors for women, payed for everything, made gifts and flowers, wrote songs to them and hired bands to play under their windows... that was considered proper thing to do for a man, indeed alphas (leaders, chieftains, powerfull, not whatever you think is desirable to current women) of societies organized parties where everyone attended and consumed their resources for free
men were never more idgaf, selfish and picky than today... you think an average man back then had any sort of idea what a "red flag" in woman is hahah, you think you could just leave your from-childbirth-disabled wife and 5 kids because she got fat and ugly without doctors and gym and keggel exercises?
the only thing that makes men less "masculine" is the notion that you have to ask for explicit permission to kiss and fuck a girl, which in my experience is not even close to what happens where I live in eastern Europe.
The problem is that hippies broke down familial practices. Before, you had the whole family organizing themselves to seek matches for their members and get them married early, if you read literature that is from earliest times until last hippy times you find that mothers and sisters eagerly search for spouses for sons and brothers and brothers and fathers eagerly look for spouses for their daughters and sisters, people get married, had a job and kids before they were 25 so they had no time to deal with bullshit we deal today. Making your life a massive project of self-analysis, self-improvement, bodybuilding, overcoming built-in evolutionary hesitation from meeting strangers and all kinds of other unnatural shit was never part of human experience. If you think about it except non-human nature (rain, wind, cold, heat, hunger, bugs, disease, hostile animals) that society was not less efficient. Along with taking care of those problems we completely dislodged from our own nature and needs.
Hippy generation fucked up the education, family, labor and sexual parts of society no generation is or was more unemployed, having less sex, less babies and more depression than millenials and it's not even 1% our fault its the poison that runs this society right now, the 50-70 year old hippy shit that made this society such thorough garbage for us by being shitty professors, politicians, judges, parents and spouses, the only aspect of human experience that improved during hippy rape of Earth is technology.
The only reason there is a sense that modern western men are somehow not masculine is due stupid comparison with third worlders who are showing more DOMINANCE ON WOMEN and this is the core issue. Those men come into western countries, they don't work, they don't pay taxes, they fondle, rape and obduct women and they are for the fear of racism usually tolerated by the law. The social dynamics and the position these migrants have can be in some ways compared to an occupying force. They extract resources, forcibly take women and are immune from laws that apply to the conquered. Western man is shamed and bows his head down while those guys beat their chests like victorious baboons.
Woman 17 y old in 1850 or 1750 or 1750BC had this going around her life: plenty of death, by this time most of her brothers and sisters have died, all or most her grandparents died, she will live until 40 or 50, she is in baggy dresses and is spending time with other women learning and doing valuable stuff, there is no ultraboring school where bored teenage boys with raging hormones will pay her incredible amounts of attention and make her feel like a gift from God, those boys are out hunting, fishing, chopping wood or smithing tools, she is learning how to cook, clean, organize home budget, brew drinks, make potions, tell stories, make and fix clothes and where to go get water and how to make juice and soup and tend to wounds. Some societies require a more equal distribution of jobs because of utter lack of resources (Scandinavia, where women contributed an unusual amount to physical labor and war), but that in the end is irrelevant, sexes are separated and even in Scandinavia where sexes are more often in same rooms it is so cold that there is nothing to really stir up boys into horny frenzy to be simps for girls. They are not yoga pants wearing, bubble-but exercising, heels wearing, clevageshowing, nailpolishing, makeup artists with years of experience in attention whoring. They have serious stuff to do. So when a man brings her flowers or writes her a poem he is not a creepy nolifer weirdo who is desperate. That means that he recognized her qualities despite her being a filthy messy sweaty hairy creature with sagging boobs (no push up bra to fight gravity). She feels urgency to create something of her life and her best and most immediate choice is to accomplish herself as a family person, same goes for men.
If you fuck too many non-virgins you get a random STD and die. Men than valued virginity but none of them also had to wait to long after puberty started. Also that oneitis that many get is an evolutionary development to pair-bond. You can only get oneitis a couple of times and after a while you can't really completely commit. Your biology is telling you you failed at pair-bonding so it's time to spray and pray, it means you are a warrior-rapist or something like that. Men had great pride about having sons that continue their profession, name and bloodline. They also didn't protect women so much sexually like prevent them from talking to boys, not introducing them to concept of sex and mating and trying to make them push sexuality away until 30 like many, especially fathers do today, finding a suitable mate was no1 priority. There is no high school, college, traveling, riding the cock carousel, working, promotions, savings than marriage at 35, than second marriage at 42 than third one at 49 all the while completely sure there will be perverts trying to score a cosmetically operated milf with expensive fake boob and butt implants. Mothers did not try to pimp out their daughters to look like whores (today average teenager shows more body than a whore back then) and teach them tricks to mess with boys heads, they did not even have time for that shit, she had 4 daugthers (and 4 sons on average) 1 of whom would survive to adulthood and if she made one mistake fucking an "alpha" lone wolf mercenary who went around the world and has who knows how many "demons" (STD) with him is the best way to ensure that specific daughter will not be the one to survive and that her offspring are ostracized bastards who don't inherit anything, especially if he rides away with her on his horse, your best chance is to find a decent local boy whose family and upbringing you intimately know who to a large degree has to show how interested and loyal he is not only to her but to her parents also. Also when you get old and you get old fast because of all the work and no healthcare you need help from your kids and if they go too far you can forget about that. If someone hit on your wife everyone would know and that would lead to a duel, often to death so being a PUA for married women and unmarried virgins was a great way to die asap.
All natural mechanics of human life have been replaced and what have we gotten in return? Now there is an arms race in gym and beard transplants and tattoo places opening up everywhere and plastic surgeons for men and "jawline specialists" and all kinds of crazy shit to appear more "masculine". Fuck that, it's not about you. It's about how much hippies imploded the world.

virtue selective breeding omg you mean nazism? nonono best have majority of kids come out of disagreeable, unconsciencious allimony-imune gangster "alphas"
honor 99% of people can't define what that is
The problems here are not that men are magically not men. The problem with sexual market place does not lie with men. Not even biggest "beta cuck" opens doors and hires bands to play under women's windows today. Indeed if you show an average man of today a picture from 1920s female celebrities and sex icons they will all agree they are hot and desirable and will not complain they are not "babes" but somehow I am sure those narrow faced, uber thin guys with oversized shirts and soft jawlines will not exactly fit the masculine, meaty, rugged, squarejawed, wide shouldered bearded chad profile, especially with no neck tattoos. Men have never been more macho and we are ever closer to looking like caricature tribal warriors, usually complete with tribal illustrations on half body, the only thing we yet don't implement is horned helmets and battleaxes, we might feel we need to, especially to scare those third world men away from (not)our women even though they are on average much shorter, smaller and less well equipped down there than us. Recently Roosh V made a video about how game got increasingly hard as women start to adjust to online attention and take PUA stuff for granted as new normal.
This manliness, bravery, style, meatbuilding, social skills, emotional self-control, bodyfat reduction explosion in recent times is unsustainable especially considering mind and body health and yet I keep hearing about men not being adequate simply because we are ultimately law abiding compared to third worlders and don't just take our objects of desire and kill those who we don't like.
This is why an angel dies of cancer every time someone shames men for not living up to some retarded and arbitrary manliness standard.
tl.dr. There is a prevailing narrative today that western men are less masculine/alpha than before, I present a kinda disorganized set of arguments that point the opposite, than today men are physically, emotionally, socially and aesthetically more masculine and that before, however there is a pervasive idea that we always need to step up. I find the main cause of this in western man's comparison with third world men and their dominant and lawless ways.
