How Modern life has turned men into wussies

[OSCORP]

Ever watched a classic action flick? Of course you have. Movies like Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Lethal Weapon, First Blood, and 300 have become fixtures in the American psyche. All these movies feature either a lone man or a small group fighting in a desperate, violent struggle and yet, somehow, coming out on top. Throughout most of America’s history, the average man could more easily relate to the experiences in those movies the way someone who shoots hoops at the park could relate to watching an NBA game. Sure, they might not have been able to do what they were seeing on the screen, but they were well-acquainted with violence. Either they had inflicted it, suffered it, or seen it up close and personal. We’re a nation that was birthed in a bloody revolution, where feuds and dueling were frequent occurrences, where intermittent battles with Indians occurred until the twenties, where roughly twenty percent of the male population served in WWII, and where fist fights and brawling were relatively common.

Today?

The average man may have seen hundreds of thousands of murders on his TV screen and committed tens of thousands more playing video games, but he has also probably never struck another human being in anger in his entire adult lifetime. In other words, he may be captivated by the imagery he sees at the movies, but he goes home knowing that he will never even live out a pale imitation of what he’s just seen.

Well, i'm ******* sorry I don't feel like going to jail over punching someone else in the face.

One interesting thing about those examples of classic action films is that they are all fiction.

lmao

smartest post so far.

I was thinking about it and if anything.... less violence would only mean more civilized way of thinking. Choosing to solve conflict trough talking than trough punches.

I don't know but it sounds to me that avoiding violence is just much smarter than actually fighting.

Anyways...

the article is actually talking about how life is becoming more unfair for men than for women, How marriage is a bad deal for men
and how women have the upper hand now, while turning men into wimps...
Or something.... words

There are reasons to fight, but not many.

I agree that there is an excessive distaste for violence in modern society. There is a point at which a threatened civilization has so categorically rejected violence that its destruction becomes inevitable, insofar as threats exist.

However, I'd be hard pressed to believe that the advancement of women's independence is a contributing factor.

Didnt read the article, You should ask, has it been designed to become like that and if so who designed it and why....and wins from it, what if the bad guys remain the same and teach the good to be subdued

Oscorp named the thread "How Modern life has turned men into wussies"
but it should have been named "How women has turned men into wussies"

the article mainly talks about the way women are changing how men are, turning them into wimps.

It wasn't just women though. Women having their independence inflated by government assistance isn't the same as women simply reducing their dependence on men.

 

[Davinator65]

Very interesting...

 

[karamazov80]

Well I take offense to that. I will beat the hell out of any man, woman, child, or domesticated creature that looks at me funny. And that makes me a MAN.

 

[agonistes86]

And that makes me a MAN.

I'm a man who discovered the wheel, and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn! That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of ours. It's science.

And in turn, making the cost of living sky rocket. That's right women, I blame you.

I was watching an episode of Chuck the other day. And Kasey (a Spy) says to Chuck.

Paraphasing... "I do what i do so that others have the freedom to be slobs and get married and become fat."

They do the fighting so we don't have to

 

[hoodonit00]

I think Oscorps delivery may have been wrong but I think he is correct in what he is saying. Games that me and my friends played when we were kids are frowned upon now. Deemed to be too violent or not politically correct.

 

[Darth Cruel]

Well, there do seem to be a couple of people who "get it".

Personally, I have watched with growing disappointment at how soft the men of this Nation seem to be getting.

There was a time when things like standing up for what you believe to be right, even if it had to go so far as violence, were regarded as heroic and honorable. And now it is seen as the behavior of the evil by far too many people.

More and more it seems like the only people with any guts are the thugs. And there are aspects of this society that are encouraging cowardice. I won't point fingers as I don't want this thread to turn political.

But all is not yet lost. The cowardice that is slowly making it's way through the veins of this Nation like a poison in a bloodstream can still be reversed.

I will be happy to go to jail for punching someone in the face who truly deserves it. And I will spend that time in jail reflecting on how I did the right thing and am not going to let my life end because I had to take a time-out from our pathetic justice system.

Why are people so afraid of the consequences of fighting any more? So you might get your *** beat. So you might go to jail. Are these life-ending events for some of you?

I have more respect for the man who steps up and gets beat down than I do for the "man" who choses inaction due to fear of the consequences.

I'll offer a hand up to the man who gets beat down and then buy him a beer.

But unfortunately, I would probably help the "man" who chose inaction if it went badly for him, too.

Look who wrote it, probably hasn't been out of the house in years,

Yeah, blame women. What the hell. What's one more thing that's our fault. Gotta blame someone.

Guess there's no blame for the fact that so many families now don't have a father involved.

Oops, my mistake, that's the woman's fault as well. Damn women ruining the world. They should send them back to Venus.

I've ran into very few grown men who are wimps. I guess it depends on your definition of wimp. You can't compare them to fictional characters who can get away with anything, get the **** kicked out of them yet still get up for more, and don't have to obey any laws.

There's much more to being a man than being violent.

So serious and dominating, yet so sexy.
