I bet it didn't look as heartless as she describes it. Also it's worthwhile to teach son not to be litlle bitch that starts crying as soon as something is discomforting. Teach your kids to change what discomforts you instead of whining about it.

If any of you retards actually READ the article you'd realise that she's actually defending men.
She's pointing out the double standard that men are supposed to be stoic and never express their emotions whilst women can get away with it.
>>31931397
Your a fucking idiot, stoicism is an important part of character building, it makes people mentaly tough and resilient.
Women are whiny as fuck and never rise to the same heights as men because they are whiny and give themselves a persecution complex. Harden the fuck up you limp handed profligate.

>>31931509
Because men throughout history have needed to know very closely who they show their weaknesses to, and when. Men are the perimeter between "us" and "them" and the defenders of "us" since the beginning of time.
If men were constantly breaking down about little shit - even, and especially if it really does bother them or try them - then any spies/traitors/enemies in general would know how to exploit those weaknesses, kill the men, rape the women, enslave the children.
Tribal existence is always the answer and always will be the answer.

>It's the delusion that masculinity is king. That aggression, toughness and competition trump compassion, expression and collaboration.
No.
If men embrace that, there is no iron fist, there is only limp dick liberals. Think about Teddy Roosevelt, a mans man. Men need strength to power through the tough things in life and women are the caregivers.
Fucking gay.

this guy is right. Im at university and there are policies against any form of interaction when its a man talking to a woman.
we get told constantly 1 in 5 women will be raped, nope 1 in 4 now, and i read a couple weeks back its now 1 in 3 women WILL be brutally gang raped repeatedly throughout univeristy
>>31933967
No, being unequal makes people unhappy so we have to bring up men to be as feminine as possible because masculinity promotes ambition and competition which hurt the feelings of people who don't feel like being achievers. We can't have that in a civilised society!
>>31930772
FREUD WAS RIGHT.

When you put it that way,
its almost as if woman have to be gangraped to understand what real, non fabricated rape is.

i have almost total control over my emotions. my g/f will cry at work, cry when she misses a train, cry at movies. i dont have feeling to cry, but when i experience emotion its usually hieghtend, so its extremes of anger or sadness. this is biological, women exist in tandem with their emotions
men exist with mastery over them. for a woman to express softness is attractive.
a man should be in control of himself, that is attractive to women

The problem with masculinity is that they're viewing it through female eyes.
Estrogen makes female emotions rich, intense and multidimensional. Without it, your emotions are poor, dull and simple. That's all there is to it.
So basically, we're "not allowed to be emotional", because we dudes are simply not emotional, and if you are emotional it's usually because you're a high estrogen beta male, which is a bad thing not only because, as the very article says, we are the embodiment of masculinity, but also because at least in /fit/ we know how having low test is bad for your health too.
>>31933456
That was the weirdest part to me. Like I know they wee largely influential, and their effect on literature was especially palpable, but they've been widely discredited in psychology for decades.
>>31934275
/fit/ is notorious for grossly exaggerating and misrepresenting the effects of testosterone and estrogen.
>>31934275
Ahhhhhhhh, what the hell am I thinking, femtards will just retort with something about how they're panromantic asexual trans trigender femmes just to prove that what you have on your crotch is completely separate from your gender.

The effects of low test are objective and factual though.
>low muscular mass, physical weakness
>mild, lingering, chronic depression
>increased emotionality
>lack of motivation and energy
>low assertivity
>low libido
>>31930772
To be fair in most of the masculine cultures back in the day; the failure to express emotion was defined as a personality failure.
to cry tears over the loss of a close friend is a normal masculine endeavor. Manly tears for a good goddamn reason. Not bitch tears over every little thing that doesn't go your way. At the same time the stoicism and strength of men was still the core of a true man. Because men evolved to be the warriors and leaders of society.

Son, two of three structures of your brain -- ultimately making at least half of your brain -- are relics of 'stone age mentality'.
These structures have not been torn down, remodelled, refurbished, or anything otherwise. They were simply built over, and they're still active.
As much as you want to deny it you're a very basic animal, extremely predictable, and constantly a victim of your emotions, instincts, and preconceived notions. The idea that you're somehow separate from these parts of your brain is asinine. As if the body can dismiss centuries of development because "well it doesn't really make sense anymore".

is enforcing masculinity really that bad of a thing?
If they grow up wanting to be more feminine then alright, but socializing children to be what they are expected to be in society (males acting how males are supposed to be and vice versa) is just a part of raising children.
>>31934446
It's biology, you can't rationalize it away. You can control it, but you can't ever stop it.
Our social dynamics are still very much governed by this, yes even the "men don't cry" thing.
We put up social constructs/contracts to each other, we say well we won't do this, we don't do that, but at the end of the day we internally feel differently. We do it because we feel it's unfair, not politically correct, not polite, etc.
See: honour, chivalry, etc.
I'd say women may say they're "fine" with seeing a man cry, maybe once or twice, or for good reason. But the idea of an over emotional men I guarantee you is repulsive to most women. Even if she says "well that's not really understanding of me .. " but it's not, no woman wants that.
I don't want a brutish and manly woman either. I might intellectualize that it's wrong, and I should because I should be accepting. But ultimately my biology does not-give-a-fuck about my social contracts; it wants that young fertile as fuck chick with the big tits and wide hips innately.
In summary: you're right, we shouldn't be a victim of our biology, but we are. Fight it as much as you want but it's waiting to wash you away as soon as you can't be bothered anymore.
>>31934477
You'd still have high test because you're at your sexual peak.
Ask your doctor how many men in their twenties are diagnosed with low test.

Because we know crying/weakness/emotionality in men is a selector, it'll differentiate the strong males from the weak males, and the stronger males are more attractive to society as a whole. The males that are more attractive to society as a whole will have better outcomes. Also because in our society males still need to perform a role, and meet an identity, just like females need to.
It's an innate social dynamic, it has to do with our species's gender roles. The gender roles are the stereotypes we all know, men provide, women birth, our species move forward one generation at a time.
>>31934533
Because they never have a good reason to cry
>>31934533
Did your dad tell you that? Cuz mine told me to cry if I needed.
I cried on a girls shoulder once, when my mom died. That's a perfectly appropriate time to cry. If you're crying because your sports team lost or you didn't get a 3 plate didilift, harden the fuck up.

I think at this stage men are just tired of being told how to fucking behave. The culture around masculinity and the media is ridiculous at the moment. Men apparently can't do anything right, not even be men. It's a free-for-all on masculinity and how "men should actually behave THIS way".
>>31934839

It's the same thing that women complain about with people expecting them to be a certain way
>>31934808
cholesterol and test maybe, although my test did go up when i started doing this but this might be due to other things too.
but my energy level went up, wake up easier and fresher throughout day, felt stronger, less DOMs. I see it as a test to push myself which in turn motivates me from the start of the day to preform and work hard and on top of that shorter showers save money and time.

If anything, it should be an olympic sport.
And just remember. For some unthinkable reason, Ed Gein and Ted Bundy are not national heroes.

let me get this straight
someone brought up a point that stoicism is important in the development of men and gave an example of character traits women suffer because of lack of said stoicism, all debatable, sure
and the response was a hamfisted fedora pic with "gamur" talk and ironic weaboo posting?
Can you see how fucking ridiculous one side of the argument appears from the other to a third party? It just looks like feelings were hurt, but you're the ones who castrated yourselves using the dankest memes available
>>31935274
I bet you fedora lords like Nietzsche and his megalomaniac narratives. He is the epitomy of despair, always wanting to be-something in the world, always reaching for something that escaped like catching a bird barehanded.
Every person who has forgotten his place in eternity and hasn't took a leap of faith is despairing, just see how everyone die for being-something which is just escaping your own eternal self (which can't be understood from being-something in the world). Suicide is better than not-being-something in the world for the atheist.
Nietzsche suffered from this, and the modern world is suffering from it too, we have literally no foundation to stand on it. As non-spiritual people, our cappability of thinking on 'things are possible' are next to none, we forgot that things are possible.
If I were religious i would be 100x more happier than now, i could strive for something knowing that everything is possible and miracles can happen. It sounds stupid but once you took the leap of faith everything is more reachable than ever.

Read the thread and you'll learn why men are supposed to be stoic while women are not expected to be stoic.

>>31934597
This. Only men who really are hyper masculine douches will say a man can never ever cry. There's a time and a place to show emotion, and there's a time to put on your mask. Knowing the difference between the two is imo one of the thing that makes you a real man.
>>31930772

Everyone: Ignore it, and sage OP.
>>31934424

>>31935358
The dudes you responded to are dudes in name only. They are girls. Arguing with logic is fucking useless with them, you need to argue with emotion. Pointing out their fallacies is useless, you need to retort with "you're a fag" and "stay beta".
>>31934424
Except in every possible way.
there are two kinds of men: marlboro country men kinda guys who never talk and be all manly n shit, and the sensitive artistic kind of guy who has a connection to his feelings.
so who do you think women want?
if a woman gets a marlboro guy, shes all in love n shit with his manliness, she likes his mystierious ways and how secretive he is. and then after a while, she wants him to open up, because he doesn't talk much and she wants to know him better. of course he doesn't because he's not into feelings and talking that much, so woman is not pleased and leaves the marlboro man for the artistic, sensitive guy. so the artistic sensitive guy is all emotional and shit and tells her all about his feelings and thoughts, thats fine for a while until the woman wants this guy to be more manly and not so a sensitive and emotional all the time. the artistic sensitive guy of course won't do that because he sees no reason to play a role, and the woman leaves him and becomes a feminist, the end
>>31935312
Oh, poor uneducated sheep of the kyriarchy, you don't know that there's a conspiracy between all men in all levels of society to make justice reserved to men only. Murdering proud wymyn is "illegal", but everybody is colluded to not give a fuck.

A man should only cry for two things:
His dog dies
His son's first 4pl8 deadlift
>>31935690
With your children, for instance. Kids need emotion, they will fucking hate you if you're cold and distant.
In fact I'd even adscribe female emotionality to an evolutionary advantage. Women need all those emotions to give their offspring the infinite amounts of love and compassion they need during their early years.
>>31935690

>>31935732
Only with children ? How can you teach your children to be a man and at the same time teach him to be a man ?
As far as i'm concerned, I used to see women as a complementary figure for the man. He should be the strenght and courage and her tenderness etc.
But nowaday, a man need to be both. don't know if it's a good or bad thing.
>>31935766
Well, it's a loop then. It is, for me, the same thing as not showing our emotions, or hiding them.

You mean you wouldn't be bursting with pride when your teenage son hits four plates and finally emerges from his DYEL cocoon on his journey to sowlehood?
You cold bastard.
Masculinity and feminity is misleading, it's too charged within ideology
What is real is that most people are self-interested, and that women now are much more aware of that, and they are able to shit on men because of their self interest.
Men in the other hand are still thinking on 'good' 'bad' 'masculinity' 'feminity' so they can't get their head straight and see that it's just a power struggle between people with self interests.
>>31935690
>to be the bridge between these two men seems to be perfect.
everybody is a mix of those two, it's just that meatheads like in this thread hold their cliche manliness they learned from tv so high that they will never accept their sensitive side, cus it's unmanly, ya know. and the artist is too self-centered to step out of his emotional world and start looking at what others, i.e. women, need.
I don't trust men who never cries, they must be broken or psychopaths.
I've never witnessed women being disgusted with men who cry but I bet the ones who are don't respect men as fully human beings and can be dismissed.
That said, nobody likes an adult who cries all the time about trivial shit, whether they're a man or woman.
The author is right, you need to accept both your 'feminine' and 'masculine' sides. The most attractive people a well-rounded persons who are at peace with themselves.
We are all a bunch of faggots for wasting our time on huffpost article discussions instead of enjoying life. Is this fun /fit/? do you really enjoy these looping semantics and the ridiculous philosophical arguments.
Please /fit/ escape this idiotic mentality/perspective that you've chained your self to.
It isn't healthy, but then, I bet you only lift to convince yourself that you aren't "them."
You do everything on their terms, in their world;
step back and realize that you are a separate entity from all this bullshit.

>>31935872
it would be a beautiful moment, sure, but you said it like it is the ONLY and important moment a man should cry for and i don't think so.
>>31935889
a man who follow, ie, a soicist way of life and at the same accept is creative and sensible side could be the model we should seek for ?
Also, i'm bitching with this idea of having a model, but it's just because for me, men are totally lost as this thread proves it.
>>31935879
even if it looks very interesting, i didn't understand a single thing m8.
Man fuck this.
Women are not equal to men, period. Without men the economy would collapse and humanity would be wiped out.
Women are just physically and mentally inferior, all the propoganda suggesting otherwise are made by white knight beta cuckolds and women.
You want prove that you're equal to men? Well come back when you can grow 12 inch arms without fucking steroids, not have the fitness tests in the military / police reduced to suit your capabilities and when your not shitting out life from your front butt.
Until then, stay mad bitches
>>31935942
obviously
>>31935918
but it is not only /fit/ struggle. If a this pua, alpha/beta, search of masculinity (etc.) exist, there is a reason. Still, you're right, but i think we are beyond this shitty article, i didn't even read it.
>>31935951
When people say that this or that is good, or bad, or masculine or feminine, it's always to get something from you or make you change of decision.
Women now tend to act on their own interests, thus gaining power because they are free of the chains of that they have to be-something.
Men in the other hand, are still within the dichotomy of being-something and can't act on their own interests. The fact is that now since manliness is changing as concept, all men are changing their beliefs of what is to be 'them'... That makes them much less powerfull since they always have to struggle with the concept rather than doing whatever the fuck they want (and acting according to having power or not in a situation).
>>31935918

>>31936022
tldr, read Stirner
>>31935899
Nah, fuck that shit son.
Stoicism trumps feminine abandon. The author shoots herself in the foot by identifying masculinity as the preferred trait for success.
Of course it fucking is; determination, rationality, strength of will and single mindedness are traits of someone who will push to succeed. Whiners need to realise we live in a world driven by market force, supply and demand, ned and want. While compassion and empathy are trying to make everyone happy, self determination is busy making things happen.
Jesus christ, the only response is to just be masculine and part of that is not regarding this stupid shit. It's not like these weaklings can stop you from being strong

to just be masculine ? What does it mean, explain ?
>>31935951
>men are totally lost as this thread proves it
it's because the media only tells us how we should be, not how we can be like we are. if someone has no parents to tell him how to be a man, like those fedora dudes, then media tells you how to act.
