Has anyone else noticed a loss of manliness over the course of the past hundred years or so? It seems like men are slowly becoming more and more like women. Men are starting to think it's acceptable to show their emotions and be open, more like girls than men. Don't get me wrong, sometimes this can be a good thing and can lead to more successful relationships and to accepting other people for who they are. However it can also be done too much, to the point where it becomes pathetic, liberal, weak, and general failures of society. It can also lead to ruining relationships, since while many girls claim to want a really sensitive guy, they also want a strong man with a mysterious dark side to him. Please tell me that I'm not the only person here who noticed this. Also, what do you suggest we do about it? And last but not least, do you think that the loss of manliness is more good than bad or more bad than good?

Nowadays being a "man" means that you absolutely agree with your girlfriend/wife/fiance/or girl you like, even if they are wrong. You're spineless, flimsy, liberal, weak, and let people walk all over you.

Usually, the people who post these type of questions suffer from sexual identity issues themselves.

But then again, these are the same people who think Reverand Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, George Dumbya Bush, Rush Limbaugh, and Larry Craig are prime examples of "conservative manliness", so the nonsense they babble is of no consequence.

Why is it that when someone asks a serious question about our society that leans a little right of liberal they are immediately attacked on a personal level? Man up and listen to what they have to say and respond in a way that address what is being said, not who is saying it.

When we have parents, in particular fathers, thinking it's okay for a male teacher to routinely wear a dress to school something is definitely wrong.
