I've asked this question before but received no answers besides like two people saying they agreed with me, so let's try this again:
Whenever I hear someone speak of feminism's repression of masculinity, they cite things such as the villainization of male promiscuity, attacks on pornography and the sex industry in general, and the villainization of aggressive behavior.
I'm at a loss to see how these are the effects of feminism though, particularly in America which has a strong Christian background.
--How is monogamy a feminist concept? In the years prior to feminism, sex before marriage was extremely looked down upon, even punishable, and divorce was considered a sin against God meaning that males and females alike were expected to live monogamous, un-promiscuous lives.
--The same thing goes for pornography and the sex industry; all of that is MORE acceptable nowadays...it used to be that anything that caused a man to lust was impure, vile, and sinful....pornography being taboo is hardly a new concept that feminists conjured up.
--And I highly doubt that aggressive behavior was accepted either as the Bible says to love thy neighbor...acting out aggressively hasn't been looked at as an admirable thing for centuries; the feminists didn't rush in and tell men that they had to stop beating one another up...society had long beat them to it.
So, if males are walking around feeling as though their nature is being repressed today, how exactly is that feminists' fault?
That doesn't answer the question, PC. That's like me saying, "Why do some dogs bite people?" and you saying, "Because it's what they do."
