Millennial Men Ditching Traditional ‘Masculine’ Values, More Likely To Embrace ‘Emotional Strength’

Millennial Men Ditching Traditional ‘Masculine’ Values, More Likely To Embrace ‘Emotional Strength’
by Ben Renner
 

VANCOUVER — As the famous Village People song declares, “Every man wants to be a macho macho man / To have the kind of body, always in demand.” But are “macho macho” mindsets becoming a thing of the past? A new study finds that male millennials are drifting away from stereotypical masculine values.

The research, led by the University of British Columbia, showed that younger men tend to value selflessness, social engagement, and health over traditional male ideals like physical strength and autonomy.

Of course, physique and independence were still prominent values for the 630 Canadian men aged 15 to 29 who took part in the survey, just not as important to participants as selflessness. In fact, selflessness was by far the top-rated male value. Nine in 10 respondents said that men should should help others, and 88 percent of the respondents agreed that men should be open to new ideas, new people, and new experiences. Eight in 10 felt it imperative that a man gives back to his community.

There was a time a few decades back they were called "sensitive" and some women were convinced that a sensitive guy was far superior to a macho one.  :shrug:

Selflessness? You mean, like being willing to sacrifice for the ones you love? When did that become a non-masculine trait? There seem to be some flaws in either the study or the interpretation of it, possibly both.

It basically just said younger men are more selfless and care about others. That makes somebody a bleep?

Damn. Well I'd rather be selfless than whatever the opposite is, that thing the other men are.

It used to be the ultimate selfless act was for a man to place himself between a physical threat and those he loves. This was also traditionally considered a defining masculine trait.

I think today's young men have every reason to be confused.

No, it doesn't.  But, that's not what we're talking about when we decry the emasculation of young men.

You know what this means?  It means that they're bleep who bought into that "it takes a village" bullshit and are afraid to stand on their own.  You know why?  They were predominantly raised by their moms and didn't have a male figure in the house to show them how to act like a man.  You know what that translates into?  More socialist bullshit that us normal people have to put up with because these wimps don't act like men and want to stick their noses into how everyone else is doing and trying to ensure they don't have a difficult life.

I also hope they aren't around if/ when another mass shooting occurs. You can bet your @$$ they will not run towards gunfire.

True. There is very little that gives me more joy than making a millennial man cry.

Oh come on, how many real fights ever break out in a gay bar, which where most of these Canuck Millennials would probably be found. Those fights are usually composed of "bitch slap, bitch slap cry and hug it out'.

Translation:  we need more 'men' who exhibits traits like Obama and O'Rourke.

This cannot possibly be an admirable trait to win the next war.

Being overly emotional means certain defeat.
