masculinity is not changing.

Ever since LITERALLY the times of ancient Greece men have been lamenting how the new generations are not manly and tough like the great men of yore. You're not a man because you need a spear to kill an elk, while your (mythical) ancestors could kill a fucking bear with their bare hands (newsflash - it never happened).

Then people were not "real men" because they didn't fight on the Greece vs Sparta or whatever wars... and then people were not "real men" because they fought with guns and not with swords like their ancestors. You get the drift.

Men are always held to the standards of their ancestors, who came from more brutal, more primitive times, and these standards are often unrealistic and romanticized and were never real to start with. Do you really think men were getting their legs chopped at war and still fighting and going like "fuck you Hades, I am going to keep fighting on 1 leg for the glory of sparta!"?

No man is manly enough, and that results in a bunch of fragile, frustrated men who feel they're not real men and they end getting psychological disorders and becoming shooters and things like that.

The cycle will not end, believe it or not our grandsons will look at us and see us like "real men" because we had the "toughness" to use a steering wheel in our cars or the "finger strength" to physically press keys on the keyboard or something like that, lmao.
