You speak many words of fine wisdom…
===================
In fact men or at least those men in the Occidental world, are being
feminised at such an alarming rate, its scary.
Advertisements etc, show men in the usual passive role of the
sensitive type (not that it matters anymore we have all fallen hook
line and sinker for that Capitalist ploy). The androgynous species
of human, is upon us fast and it is being manufactured (consciously
or unconsciously I don't know). Why? Because one can get more
mileage and more selling power from such a generalised stereotype.
And as for the typical working class man who gets frustrated (like
myself); the only time they can feel alive, is when they knock seven
bells out of each other, usually after downing a mountain of alcohol
(Dutch courage) or as in Europe after a soccer match..
A pitiful state of affairs..
