Read a few of the Mars Venus books by Dr. John Gray. He's updated the newest ones to reflect the science of hormones having an affect on male and female brains and behavior. Some stuff is biologically hardwired in most people. Political ideology is irrelevant.
I am sorry but I thought you were calling me one. I suck at reading tone properly on the internet sometimes. I need to get more properly schooled to hip new things obviously.
Unless you were calling me one because I think men's rompers are absofrigginlutely ridiculous.
How does one "act gay"? Do all gay people act alike? According to you, they do. Thank you for enlightening us.
I guess some would say these two guys are acting gay, even though they are both straight Hockey Players from the Vancouver Canucks showing their support for gay pride this past weekend.
In the natural world, animals kill and eat other animals and plants. Animals fight each other over territory and mates.
This is a violent world. But we have become insulated from it. We buy food at the supermarket, and don't have to think about how it was killed. Most of us don't ever fight to defend ourselves, because the military and police do it for us.
One of the BIG divisions between Left and Right these days is how each perceives these realities. The Left does NOT value toughness. The Left ALWAYS prefers the underdog and the victim. The Left does NOT value competition.
The Right is the opposite.
Maybe one reason I squashed the bug is I knew the guy is a Liberal, and maybe subconsciously I wanted to see his reaction. It was just as expected.
Toughness, Competition?
There is an awful lot of representation from the left in pro sports. You really need to get around.

90% of gay people I know personally don't act gay. In fact, they are superficially indistinguishable in demeanor from straight people. But some gay men "act" gay and you know exactly what I'm talking about.
No comment on the male/female wars. What I do notice is that men are increasingly losing skill sets. I'm fine with women acquiring what men are losing but that's another topic entirely. If you're a homeowner you should know how to do basic things like replace the valving in a toilet or swap out a garbage disposal, have some basic carpentry, plumbing and electrical skills and facility with tools. Change the oil in your car, change a tire, change a battery, jump-start a dead one. This is really elementary stuff that virtually all boys learned at home. It's surprising how many young men have no idea how to do these sorts of things now. I guess you just whip the problem with your cell phone and credit card. Strikes me as kind of pitiful though if your interface to real world physical problems is purely through a maintenance man or tow truck operator. Just because you can pay someone else to make dirty sweaty problems go away doesn't mean you should.
I like capable people who have physical skills. Men and women. It makes them well rounded and interesting.

I wish I had been taught more of those things, honestly. They are survival skills, whether you are a man or a woman. Same with cooking. I dated a guy some years back who ate literally every meal out, because his kitchen skills were limited to brewing a nice cup of tea and tossing his mail on top of the unused stove. He had a great job, and wondered why he was broke. -_-

Knowing how to do some basic things can save you $$. Maybe even more importantly it can get you out of a jam ... like when your A/C starts flooding on the weekend or the toilet overflows or the car won't start and you've got a flight to catch. Cooking too ... same thing.
This seems like a false dichotomy to me: violence versus wimpiness. I'm sorry to think that you, as a woman, feel that strength is normally expressed by violence. Also sorry that you seem to feel that liberal ideals and goals - education, health care, civil rights - are somehow weak.
Trump, by the way, is not particularly tough in the classic sense. He's loud, brash, show-offy, and threatening, but he backs down when anyone stands up to him. He's notoriously thin-skinned, going crazy over any slights. He shied away from the draft. He's probably never had a conventional job-interview. Despite the TV image, he's notoriously uncomfortable about firing people. I think this is even one reason that he keeps retreating to his own properties. I think you could make a counter-intuitive case that Obama is, in fact, tougher, working his way up, certainly working harder at the presidency, confronting serious issues realistically, standing up under a lot of abuse (unlike Trump's wimpy thin-skinned-ness).
Don't presume to know what all liberals value and prefer. You're very, very wrong.
Oh, great, so in another million years or so, when insects rule the earth, some poor Joe who's just going about his day gets stomped on by a bug in retaliation all because you couldn't control yourself and just had to annoy one a them there sissy liberals. God, you suck.
I know I know. The revenge of the mosquitoes will be terrible.
