A couple of interesting talks on how male character traits are unique and helpful to society, and what happens when society demeans males.

Our society is flipping gender roles and suffereing the consequences.

A much needed guide for many men who have evolved into being unable to change a tire, cook a steak, kill a rodent, or God forbid, say a naughty word.

Available on Amazon

Wish it were available in print. I don't do Kindle. It's too pink for me.

Let's be honest.
Our society has become feminized and weak. Masculinity will get you arrested and thrown in prison.
Ask Daniel Penny

[JimT]

Daniel Penny stood up when most men wouldn't.

Daniel Penny stood up when most men wouldn't.

And why would they?

Daniel Penny stood up when most men wouldn't.

And why would they?

There's no way I can know what other people's reasons are for getting involved or not. Penny stated why he did. No one has to agree with him.

[Safestuffer]

What societal and cultural incentives are there for a man to do what Penny did?

"Man up"...
Why?
For women that are promiscuous and a society that demonizes them?

Social and cultural incentives are not good motivators. If a person has nothing internally then that's about all that is left.

You didnt answer the question.

[JimT]

Social and cultural incentives alone are not good motivators. If a person has nothing internally then that's about all that is left. But if a person is not motivated to act by those outside things, then they act because of what they have internally, which would be their belief system or world view.

So men should insert themselves where they are not wanted and subject themselves to legal and economic ruin for....some internal sense of duty to a culture that doesnt exist any more?

I heard an interesting take on marriage and monogamy. Simply put, marriage is an institution of women, by women and for women. From a reproductive standpoint marriage isn't necessary. Marriage simply provides security for women. Whether that be in the form of a living space, food or safety from predators.
