Feminized?
Yes. The “nice guy” never has masculinity. It isnt an accurate representation. He’s always a passive little bitch. I’m pretty sick of that. Men can be your sweet guy and all and also not be all passive and basically just a yes man. They arent interesting and we all know it. Some people dont know how to write men. Gotta research them, they arent bad people for being inherently masculine.
So they feminized men, making them less masculine and more feminine in their personalities and whatever.

Woops I’m confused again 
Can feminine men not be real men?

Sure. But so many men in Episode and media in general arent accurate representations of men.
It’s like the women being portrayed as gold diggers, black people being portrayed as thugs. Of course we know these exist, but do you believe they are the majority? No, of course not. So why are the majority of men being represented this way?
This is my point.
(Btw, yes I’ve been drinking. I’m trying to avoid typos sorry hahaha)
And it bothers me because nowadays, only men are inaccurately represented generally. Women are a mixed bag as usual, and so are all the groups that get representation at all.
Men dont get this. And I see it all the time. And I’m tired of it.

I see. I understand your point, it can get tiring seeing the same type of men on Episode a lot. I’m just unsure of your comment of them not being “real men” just because they’re passive or feminine, and I don’t think it’s necessarily a “bad representation” of a gender because everyone has different taste in things & different ways to act. I personally haven’t seen a stigma surrounding most men being feminine, I feel like society is rather pressuring men to uphold a masculine face, and I don’t think it’s fair at all. That’s why I wouldn’t compare the stereotype of most black people being thugs to most men being feminine, because I don’t feel like that stereotype(for straight men) exists.

No, it isnt a stigma, it is something else completely. It is society telling men they’re bad for being masculine and then portraying men either as bad with any masculinity or good with none at all.
It’s not a stigma, it’s actually shaming. Men arent expected to hold a face, this is how they’re biologically programmed. People saying “society says men have to be a way” isnt what is happening. Men ARE that way. That’s normal. That’s how they are.
I think a big problem is people not knowing how to write men hahaha!! When I sober up, I think I’ll start a thread. Men are so misunderstood. Makes me sad T.T
I would elaborate but I have to jet

From what I’ve seen, this is the exact opposite of the way society tells men the way they’re supposed to act 
Men being told they’re supposed to act masculine and to not show the slightest hint of vulnerability are one of the reasons why toxic masculinity exists. I’m a bit tired of people making men feel like they have to be strong all the time, whether physically or mentally, and that they can’t show emotion otherwise they’re sissys. Men who act feminine are shamed a lot, called gay, and supposedly aren’t real men according to both women & other men. It makes me upset to see because there should not be this much pressure on the way a man should act.
Of course how strong men are physically & the way they act can be biological of some sort, but as far as attitude & personality goes, it can change. Not all men are biologically programmed to be these assertive, masculine creatures. It’s not fair to put those labels on them IMO

Sure, the reality I’m trying to point out is that men are masculine more often and they’re also good more often.
Toxic masculinity is just the exact bs pushed to try and create weaker men by telling them that their being masculine is bad,but it isn’t. It is a good and essential thing. Society needs masculinity. “Toxic masculinity” is men not having a meltdown when they’re upset because how would they help those they care about? You cant. When we have meltdowns, we need something stable. That’s the men in our lives. That’s “toxic masculinity”. It’s because men love and care deeper than they ever say. They dont need to say it. They show it everyday and then get reprimanded for it.
Or told that this isnt good and they need to be more emotional…that’s difficult for many men because biology. And that’s a good thing. If you can understand this about men, we can help them better. Let men be men, they will be whatever they will be, and I’m saying real life men are good and masculine. Media portrayal of men is a fantasy. It isnt real. This is not real men.
Men arent these few things, they’re diverse and they’re masculine. Media equates masculinity with being bad and feminity being good. So they’ve feminized men.
I believe we have completely different experiences, that’s interesting to note yours, and I see not many women see what I see, but many men do. Perhaps it is geographical location too.
I’ve pointed out before, geographical location is more important than many things when determining people’ compatibilities. Southerners mix better with southerners, etc.
