re: Article perfectly illustrates how masculine traits are being attacked

I don’t get why people refuse to accept men and women are different. It’s just maddening.

the primary reason is towards the extreme of the belief system. admitting one biological difference means that all biological attributes are on the table. so if we agree women see things more in terms of communication, empathy, and emotional connections and men see things more in terms of aggression, logic, and competition, then different outputs from these attributes becomes an issue.

what they've done is kind of try to take both arguments (individual-biology and society). this is where you get into the "cultural Marxism" angle (that many people get confused about). they've created this vague, institutional situation called "patriarchy" that not only poisons men to act in toxic ways (demeaning the biological-male traits) but it also created a society that rewards these traits (to help men and exclude women).

so, even if they were to budge on the biological differences a bit, those biological differences are now toxic because of their place in society. think of it this way: why should competition be so rewarded? why should aggression be so rewarded? why should working more than others be rewarded? why should rational viewpoints be rewarded?

hence, articles like these that tell males "your behavior is toxic because of society, but even if it's biological, you need to drop those traits we historically consider masculine and become more feminine. otherwise, you propose a system where women cannot compete equally and outcomes will be different, causing inequality."
