Based on what, exactly? Where are your examples and evidence of this? Men are pressured to not be in touch with their asshole selves - but that has nothing to do with actual healthy masculinity. I don't know any women who have an issue with a man who is decisive, is inspiring, or who has clarity of mind - because those kinds of men are sadly, quite lacking. I think women have a lot of issues with man-children who don't have the first inclination of how to embody any of these archetypes in healthy or empowered ways. Pretending that most men are showing up today in healthy versions of these archetypes is just a fucking joke. That's not entirely their fault - we have our stupid culture to largely blame, but foisting that on women is just weak and pathetic. Grow up! Show up! Stop blaming other people for your weakness and inadequacy! Be an actual goddam man instead of blaming women all the fucking time for your lack of ability to be strong or secure in yourself. Is that truly what a Warrior would do? Give me a fucking break...

There are good men out there. There are strong men who are taking on these archetypes in empowered ways. They have nothing whatsoever to do with this whining, entitled, pathetic drivel. We are not stopping you from being in touch with your masculinity. How strong could it actually be, if mere women could stop it??? Get a grip, man. This shite is the embodiment of weakness.
