Answer 1

Hell no, society wants us to be women. Useful skill like ethics, and loyalty are left behind for our ability to dance and dress in matching colours. Women want sensitive guys, but have sex with jerks. Lots of men dump their family responsibilities and let society pay for their kids, and women seem to think they are better off and entitled to raise children on their own, even though they can provide financial and emotional support.

Answer 2

To answer your question, everything going on today in society teaches me what not to do. Especially the things people say you should do, and what you should believe in, because many times there is a lot of hypocracy, and I learn by watching others fall sort because of it. So, I listen to what different social groups have to say, understand it, usually find some hypocracy, and then learn the real truths from that. Once in a while people will be quiet enlightening, but thats rare. I've come to accpect that what most people say, no matter how good it sounds, is usually tainted by bias or something in some way.

Answer 3

There's a real problem today with the condition of Man; Boston's points were certainly valid. I'll approach the question myself point by point:

1) Dreams & Needs: I'm young yet, but I still don't think I should be looking forward to any of that; not that I particularly want to. The dream I want to accomplish the most doesn't have anything to do with social customs, so it's still good to go.

2) Modernism: Inventions like the internet and internet applications (Google, Youtube) have, but a lot of social theory and law is restrictive. That's the very nature of a law; it imposes a restriction; it's a compulsory article.

3) Role Models: I hesitate to use the term, but my Biology teacher is one if I had to choose, although I still have plenty of criticisms of him. There certainly isn't a wide host of decent role models out there today, men OR women. The best "role model" for me is the Internet; I get to analyze the ideas and beliefs projected by a series of forefathers and decide which ones I believe to be Truth.

4) Comparing to Forefathers: I'm certainly weaker physically, although I would say I'm brighter. That is due almost principally to my education... at the hands of men, not women, who in my experience have actually misinformed... and the Internet.

I'm an awful son because of the way I yell a LOT at my mother and sometimes say some hurtful things though I'm loathe to admit my wrongs and say "sorry" to her; I could blame it on a lot of things (like not having a father) but the blame principally rests on me, no matter what I say. As a brother I'm definitely a nuisance (I'm a younger brother), and maybe a little competitive with my older brother.

As a plain individual I'm relatively bright but pretty lost on my actual purpose at times; then again, who isn't?

Answer 4

Being in a Christian community, I don't know that my answer would be the same as one outside of such a community. Evangelical Christian feminists have brought about change in areas where there needed to be change in the Christian community, but that doesn't necessarily lead to men being emasculated in any way. I'm as happy to be a man/husband/father as any of my wise and loving Christian predecessors were, but I know that there were plenty of the not-so-wise and not-so-loving variety too.
