Men aren't under attack. Toxic masculinity is. As it should be.

No, they are just being held accountable. Being held to normal standards feels like an attack to them.

Surely this Victorian idea of the manly man is a total myth and attacking it by feminising is utter bollocks. I am secure enough in my sexuality to ignore idiots who think calling me a Poof or such like is an insult, since more than half of my heroes and role models from history were homosexual or women or both.
I grew up with a Father to whom the idea of my becoming an actor or writer or musician was a sure sign that I was a "filthy gayboy" yet who when I asked him what I should be suggested that I be a wrestler or a boxer or a footballer, and was shocked when I pointed out that he wanted me to spend time grabbing on to near naked men, or running about with men in shorts who I would then bathe naked with, to prove I was a "real" man.
I saw through this projection and hypocrisy very quickly, and soon realised those who insist on finding feminine traits in other men or masculine traits in women ARE LOOKING FOR THEM. Personally I accept people for who they are if they are honest and so long as they are not hurtful or abusive to others, they are free to be who they want to be without comment or judgement from me or anyone else.

A very good piece...this idea that masculinity is under threat is just another false flag run up by the Christian Right...along with the demise of moral values due to secularism, and how Christianity is under attack in the USA where Christians are being discriminated against. To use good British vernacular....it’s all a load of bollocks! Well done to this guy for calling it out!

No. Assholes are. Stop being an asshole, it’s likely that no one will have a problem with you.

If you consider that demanding men give back some of the male privilege they have exercised over the the many, many millennia, then no! It just equalizing the scales of injustice. To demand that an unfair, unjust balance of power is rectified is not an attack, but rather a good idea. Just because guys are being asked to be accountable for their behavior and actions is not an attack. Guys are just feeling pressed soley because they have never had to account for themselves and their behavior before.

Ah, no...........but we deserve criticism for jerky behavior......

Except for the next-to-last paragraph about Christianity, I agree with this article. The out-dated knuckle dragging macho garbage needs to go.

Disinformation

In family court sometimes men get screwed over but for the most part this is bullshit.

From personal observation men that believe the head of the house nonsense are either misogynistic or live in an affair in which the woman rules but lets the guy think he is. I know several guys who constantly spout how they rule the roost but whenever something comes up it's yes dear, whatever, almost without exception. Most healthy partnerships that I have observed have the partners compromise about most everything and respect each others personal views and likes. If anything is under attack it is outdated nonsense from nonsensical outdated beliefs.

It seems a combination of observations and bullshit. I don't think men are under attack so much as the definition of masculinity is being broadened, and that is a good thing. For instance, being a gay male is not feminine, it is just a different aspect of masculinity. Caring, nurturing, sensitivity are not just feminine aspects but are also aspects of masculinity. There seem to be fundamental differences between males and females, but this is not captured nor defined by beliefs about the way men should act or by their testosterone levels

I would say that females are under attack, just look around. Rapes in college, army, media and businesses. A xenophobic mysoginist potus, still not getting equal pay for equal job and a lot more.

If you have 15 minutes, this Ted Talk explains how radical feminism benefits men, also.

Men have nothing to fear, other than their own insecurities

I don't think so. I certainly don't feel under attack.

Jesus - the original Liberal.

I think a lot of groups are being treated as if all members are the same.

Some people think all men are alike.

Some people think all white people are all alike... that we are all racist.

Here's the problem I have overall. No individual should be judged by what other members of the groups he/ she belongs to... gender, sexual orientation, color, financial status, occupation, etc.

There does seem to be a push from some to blame all bad behavior from some men on all men. Why should a decent man be blamed for a bad man's behavior.

That's like blaming all white people for racism.

which men?

Recently, I read an article that claimed that in the past 70 years the testosterone level of the average man in the USA has dropped considerably. I wonder what could be the cause???????

I don't think man is under attack, at least I don't feel it. I read another phrase 'all men fear women' recently in Agnostic. Both nonsense. If Macho-men are under attack, well deserved. Finally, nothing that involves "Christian discipleship is the process by which men and women become like Christ. One of the measures of growth in a the Christian is their embodiment of the fruits of the Spirit as outlined in Galatians 5:22" deserves more of my time...

I have seen men under attack...and figure its well deserved....

No one is immune to attack.

Men are not immune to criticism. They deserve it. They should take it seriously.
Women are, on the other hand, perfect.
