As a lad, me mother caught me doing the deed and I was completely devastated, I felt like a freak. I'll never forget what my dad told me. " Son, 9 out of ten men do what you did and that tenth fella is a lying bastard".
Ha! ..
Funny!
Why is this comment the same as an earlier comment by another poster?Identical down to the typos.
What deed ? Voting for Trump ?
Did anyone read this comment in a British accent
Like John Cleese said, (and I'm paraphrasing here) it's important to be kind, but if you design your society around the sensitivities of its most neurotic members, you end up with a neurotic society. That's no good for anyone.
Oh wow excellent quote
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR Yes, but we shouldn't be confusing people's beliefs with their statements. That's how we get the ridiculous thinking patterns of the modern leftists. If something is true, it's still true no matter who says it or who repeats it. PS - John Cleese is the GOAT.
Facts, women are more neurotic than men, and now that we are moving away from patriarchy and towards feminism, everyone is depressed
@@annatar6453 women are
More neurotic than men..that’s exactly why women think men are toxic. No we aren’t. You want neurotic, look at putin. He’s got boomer energy to spare. Zelensky respects and honors women and isn’t relying on the simple fact of his gender to carry him through. You are who we don’t want to touch. That’s what bill and many, many men are
Missing. We want men without the misogyny.
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR I would say the Cleese quote is the perfect place to use it. This is not deep thought, it is blatant common sense. You do not need extreme intellect or insight, to see the wisdom in the cleese quote (or paraphrase). That is the beauty of a real insightful quote, is that the wisdom is unavoidable. Cleese has a whole range of more subtle humour, but this is not it. It is sledge hammer bluntness.
Every time I watch Bill, my first reaction is always “oh, thank god somebody said it!”
Same
The problem is what people today are pathologising as toxic, like Liquid Death and Huel. So people are going to not pay attention when someone is calling out genuine toxicity.
Ya, he said it, but he missed the cause. The lack of movement, exercise, healthy diet, healthy habits, will drop testosterone in any man. Add the average human is far fatter then we used to be, why would we be fucking? What we need to focus on is not the lack of sex or what is masculine, we need to focus on shutting down fast food, replacing video games with physical sports a bit more, just get moving.
Said the man just sitting at his computer....
@@quor2243 he spoke on that quite a lot in past editorials, got a beef with james c*rden even
I am 65 and 50 years ago, my mother was working as a researcher on studies for the Forestry Service. The government was doing research on how pollution was affecting wildlife. It was reported that there are a lot of endocrine disruptors in our environment which can harm endocrine systems of life on this planet. Endocrine disruptors like lead, mercury, plastics ( source of much pcbs) and the contamination of water with various drugs include birth control hormones. At the time my mom ( keep in mind this was 50 yrs ago), told me that water pollution had a link to newborns becoming homosexual. I at the time was dealing with a boy I had a crush on coming out of the closet and telling me he was gay. I think my mom was trying to comfort me, in a weird way. So, I said are you saying Patrick had no choice? Should I let him know that? Which she said oh no, forget I said anything! It is part of a government study and I really shouldn't have said anything. I think this was about the time homosexual behavior in Ibis in Florida were link to mercury poisoning. There is now a deformity in many fish species that are not normally Hermaphrodite, called intersex disorder caused by water pollution. Fish like the smallmouth bass, are growing eggs in their testes. This makes most sterile, and is causing a sharp decline in the smallmouth bass population. So, men and women not having a sex drive, less testosterone and progesterone? Maybe we are all becoming gender-less. Asexuality on the rise? One person I know that claims to be asexual, says no one turns her on. She has no desire for sex. She had relationships in the past, and said that she realized she rather just be alone.
Agreed on what you said regarding endocrine disruptors. Science has known about this for at least 40 - 50 years. As for asexuals, there are hundreds of thousands of us. We're here & we're queer. There's no "claiming"-I'm a 50+ yr old virgin with no sense of what it's like to even have a crush on someone. Don't have to be ashamed anymore. And I DON'T have to watch Bill Maher anymore. I keep trying, but every segment I watch now offends me. The pandemic has turned him from funny douche to not-funny, bitter UberDouche.
Male fish growing eggs in the testes? Not gonna lie, that's hilarious from a lay standpoint and fascinating from a scientific one.
@@DianaDeLuna maybe you’re part of the problem
@@DianaDeLuna Maher is not only halariously funny, but he is spot on.
As far as asexuality goes, it's probably worth mentioning that for a long time asexuals were being mislabeled as bisexuals in research because if the Kinsey scale wasn't used, both bisexuals and asexuals could fall under the description of "little/no preference" or "equal attraction to both sexes" (even if that attraction was basically 0) so now it's likely being reported more accurately. Also better sex ed helps, if people know that most people feel attraction and pleasure, and aren't thinking about it in terms of "purity" or "sin" orwhatever else, then they might be more prompted to seek an explanation when they don't feel those things.
I worked on the "Erin Brockovich" case and read a lot of literature about the results of environmental toxicity. The most significant symptom that struck me was decreased sperm count, high miscarriages and low egg count. The human body responds to an undesirable environment by not allowing reproduction...
@@fomofud9479 Do the two kids you had with your first wife happen to look a lot like the milkman, by any chance?
That must have been an extremely interesting case. I personally believe that we are being secretly poisoned against our will for larger agenda including the inability to effectively reproduce.
@@fomofud9479 I’m sorry to hear. My ex boyfriend we thought of having kids but he has low sperm count and I have endometriosis and an ovarian cyst. It was sad too because we both would have been good parents and we both have high IQs ( sorry not to brag) but we felt that ok we have something to offer the world, and we’re both musically talented with a talent for languages. But IVF would be too expensive. He didn’t want to adopt but I was open to it. In the end we parted as great friends and we shared custody of a poodle who has unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge.
@Zedna Gurland 👈 Qanon nut job
Probably true but I feel like porn is a bigger culprit for lack of intercourse
That "declining sperm count" graph animation had me dead lololol
And Bill is so spot on here. I've definitely had two women try to lecture me, on separate occasions, for simply holding the door open for them on the way into the bank. It's like "YES. I KNOW YOU CAN OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR.....I WAS JUST A STRANGER TRYING TO DO SOMETHING POLITE"
Seriously, some people need to chill out! I hold the door for strangers, too. Why do some women have to act like this is an assault on their sense of self?
That graphic almost made me fall off my chair laughing... it looked like it caught Bill off guard a bit too...
I open the door for anybody. So to me its not a problem. I see a person behind me, holds it open and walks in. Problem solved. Its funny how this is a massive debate though
@Reo Sho It's a great irony of life that few want to speak for all while not realizing no one gave those few permission to do so. This is where confusion takes root.
Also, about women who complain, men holding a door open could translate to wanting sex, and that paranoia is a whole other ball of yikes that needs to be addressed.
it true tho! birth rate in western country is so low lmao 😂😂
I love Bill because he dares to speak the truth, no one escapes his honest, sometimes brutal but necessary assessment of you,nd never backs down when people are offended. He dares to be real. We need so much more of his brutal, and fair, honesty.
Sometimes he’s a snarky jerk. He’s not always right.
@@patrickmiano7901 Yes, most of the time he is. But real men would find this hilarious and agree with him. I can't stand the man and laughed through this whole thing. Grow up.
"So put in a little effort, you stupid, lazy f**ks!" Great line with which to end a segment. 😂
So I can get charged with sexual harassment, no thanks.
"No amount of training will turn us into your favorite Twilight character." LOL Bill is spot on and hilarious.
There goes my dream of sparkling in the sun and drinking blood as sustenance.
Hey Bill, when was the last time YOU satisfied a woman sexually?
You've been a Leftist figurehead promoting post modernist philosophy for decades now.
Leftists won't be happy until they desex all males at birth ... like their support pets. That is their goal.
Trump was the only President who achieved every Miss Universe's dream. Because he had an ardent Christian VP. Dubya's VP was the Military Industrial Complex. Half of Biden's $1.5t "Infrastructure" spending goes to the MIC.
Obama caused Putin to take Crimea and now Biden causes Putin to take East Ukraine. This War can end now! All you have to do is back NATO off. Kennedy didn't tolerate Russia encroaching on USA space in the 60s, why should Russia tolerate NATO now? DNP hypocrisy unlimited. Biden caused this War.
Wake up America! Biden, Harris and Pelosi are the best you've got? Bloomberg ran blocking defence to stop Sanders. Trump was hampered without both houses, so he leveraged up and threatened to expose the truth. The Elite Illuminati weaponised MSM to defeat him.
OK Moderator, do your Leftist duty and moderate the Truth. That's what you do. Hypocrisy and Lies.
@@vipertact q we
@@andyrooo6698 are you unwell? You sound like you don't do well around people irl
He is a puppet like Trump. Was put into office to play a role.
Just as the deception sickness the last 2 years, this is a deception war.
I really thought you weren't that stupid not to see it.
Every single world leader in power today was put in office to play a role by the WEF.
They openly say it, so don't give me your conspiracy BS.
There is no way a corrupt crap hole country like the Ucrak can make oil be jacked up and food supply's short.
Simply a manufactured crisis that you guys didn't get the first time around.
These people are sick, they are lost, and they are possessed by unclean spirits trying to rid God from His creation and take it over. Ps 2:2.
It does not matter if you believe in God or not, these leaders worship the fallen angel and hate the true God.
And they are actively and very quickly rolling out their new world agenda.
If you don't see that your deceived.
If you don't report it like this patsy you are the enemy of the people.
Cause Billy boy knows this, but telling the truth doesn't make him money.
Bill Burr has been saying most of this for a long time.
God I love Bill BURR. Maher, I don't laugh out loud at. He's mildly funny and has good guests. Bill Burr has had me laugh so hard it hurt. And he says it better too.
@@nadiamccall4311 Agree 100 percent!!!
Yep.
Doesn't mean he's right. I like Bill Burr, but he is clearly and admittedly trying to work though some of his issues with women.
@@kurtjohnson3917 He's absolutely right. As well as the other chorus of voices who've been discussing these things.
Thank you Bill Maher for pointing out the necessity of being a real man in the face of adversity. We are expected to do this and with few exceptions we step up and do it.
Like normal he is at least 8 years late but sure… thanks
@Bob White~ Than you for your service.
@@UNbowed62 Thank you, how did you know I am a veteran?
@@bobwhite3895 You just told me. And thank you for your military Service too!
The service I was referring to in your post~was thanking you & a few who “step up in the face of adversity”. 😊
We are expected to do it when the moment comes, but no longer appreciated for that readiness the rest of the time. People are just too disconnected from the realities that made certain patterns emerge. But then, as they say, there are no feminists on a sinking ship.
Just today I read news about a woman suing for "sexual discrimination" because she wasn't allowed to bare her chest in public, on the grounds of men being allowed to show theirs. (Not opposed to more liberty per se, but her reasoning simply denies obvious differences.)
All the while her supporters commented on the fact that only men are not allowed to leave Ukriane and forced(!) into a fight to the death based on their gender was brushed off as "serves them right for inventing wars". That's "fighting for equality" for ya.
The writing for this was insane. Well done!
As a conservative (at this point, I refuse to actually use the words “Republican” and “Democrat”, because both parties are so far from where they started out), it feels a little weird to praise a liberal, but on both sides, everyone is so measured, so careful, so calculated in the way that they speak, that it’s refreshing to see someone like Bill just say what he thinks and not care what anyone thinks or says about it
Liberal just means open and fair minded... I would hate to be called a democrat or a Republican.
It’s intellectual dishonesty. It’s why the president of Ukraine is so magnetic, he’s genuine. American politicians are faking it. We know it, but our confirmation bias only allows us to see it in opposing parties. Americans need to design a bullshit detector.
@@alinaitzal1173 I agree. To me, liberal means exactly what you said, and conservative just means “doesn’t spend ridiculous amounts of money over-regulating the citizenry”. The fact that our government can’t figure out how to do both is insane to me lol
Yeah except that Bill is an establishment stooge, or worse, actually fooled by the bush league propaganda.
To those of us who bother to turn on our Bullsht detectors, zelensky is a puppet. And a slimy scumbag one at that.
This segment is pathetic & laughable. Except when I remember that we’re all gonna be worse for this BS.
God I hate the criminals who run Washington. Every administration.
Classical liberal. Like the ones that founded this country.
It’s possible to be a man who’s compassionate, kind, sensitive and loving AND be ready to stand your ground and defend when necessary.
My WWII Medic Grandfather is an example.
I like to think of myself as a little more rugged than the average lefty.
Consistent with the professed long-term desired “hard exterior soft interior” “type” expressed as what a woman wants. In the short term they do not want that kind of guy depending of life stage and circumstance, in my opinion.
Exactly. Women don't want big asshole dudes that go around picking fights. But they doesn't mean they don't want men that are "lethal", in the sense that they're willing to fight and die for family when the wolf is at the door.
I was lucky enough to find one. As usual, Bill misses the mark.
mmmm
Yes I agree and there is also a deep rooted attraction to someone who is tough, can provide and protect you and your family, handy and strong. This is just nature ingrained in us, what we needed to survive. I'm a woman who spends weeks alone hunting in the woods and if I am successful you wouldn't believe how much that turns women on. All of a sudden I get a lot more attention and women are gushing over me. It's so weird, I was like wow, our animal instincts are still very much alive.
Bill is one of my favorite people to watch on UA-cam. We differ on some things but I consider him a smart man who doesn’t cave on his views.
Eshki123-
Bill IS caving.
The spots he sends out lately, now that he sees he was wrong to depose Trump at any cost, are anti left.
He rips apart everything and everyone.
It's his thing.
I don't always agree with him either. BUT I am glad that someone like him is standing up and speaking common sense.
There are plenty of women these days who seem to have a constant chip on their shoulders towards men in general. I was admonished for holding a door open for a lady (as I always do) when she quipped "I can open my own door" and then got even more upset when I replied "yes ma'am". As if somehow I was implying that she wasn't able to open a door, being a woman and all. I didn't respond after her outburst, instead just let her continue living a miserable life.
But this is becoming more and more common, as masculinity in general seems to have been lumped in with the toxic side. There are still things in our DNA as men that we do better than women, and vice versa. Recognition and respect from both sides is the key, and I'm not sure we are heading in that direction as a society.
In Canada it's normal for people to open doors for each other. Could be either a man or a women that will open it for you. The most important thing though is to say "Thank You" rudeness will not be tolerated. Anyways now you know.
We aren't. Absolutely not heading in that direction. It's getting obtuse & wild.
I had this happen once. I just said "oh okay" and shut the door in her face as I walked in.
That just sounds like a rude person to be honest. Depends on how you did it though. If it was clear the you did it only because she was a woman I would get irritated too but if you do that for everyone (as you should) it was just rude behavior by her
“Put in a little effort you stupid lazy fucks” just had me almost spit my coffee out from laughing so suddenly. 🤣
Targeting incels is key, since they want to make such a community of their own inability to get laid.
Bill is priceless!
@@cjh661 he's a POS.
He's basically saying that exploitation and mass murder of men is fine as long as it turns on the ladies.
He's a simp and a warmonger.
I had one of my best laughs in a while when I heard that...
I think that we all have been collectively brainwashed to look for convenience, facility and comfort...and just calling Pizza Hut...lol
I still dont really feel like "toxic masculinity" is a thing. Masculinity is masculinity, being toxic is being toxic. Anyone can be toxic, it's not gender specific.
Masculinity is not gender specific. Women can exhibit toxic masculinity.
@@TheAMW How about exhibiting navel gazing drivel and and preaching deliberately over-analyzed truisms? Also non gender specific?
Masculinity, men have and women have it too depending on the person. In my opinion, the toxic part comes in when it is used to project bullying behaviour, mentally or physically.
1000%
However, this is too balanced for today’s polarised society to understand and accept. There has to be a debate.
It is a thing. There are plenty of instances in my country. There are degrees to it though which is should be acceptable, but beyond a certain level it can be borderline monstrous.
Just had this “conversation “ about masculinity yesterday. He makes excellent points. Love Bill.
I’ve had a few arguments about this topic lately. Such a great piece by Bill and his writers!
NEVER cave on standing for what you believe in. It's better to have people walk away from you for what you believe than disappoint yourself. End of the day, you have to answer to you.
The "more sex and less gender" line was absolutely perfect.
does he mean gay sex? he HAS to specify. We can't leave any group out.
Great T-shirt logo
@@briancarpenter6413 no gays don't have to worry about this crap. Im fact one thing a lot of us are sick of is women who are turned off by so called toxic men that they are everywhere in our formerly gay bars as their own safe spaces. Ugh!
@@briancarpenter6413 You're the problem
The result of generations of emasculated TV father figures starting with Archie Bunker & while Bill is right in that more civil rights & equality was needed, the pendulum has swung too far "left" & the seventy genders or pansexuals are proof.
Bring it back to center.
Hundreds of thousands of years and we havent changed one bit. Reast easy George Carlin, we really are barely out of this jungle...
I read in a book on human evolution that if you time-transported Homo erectus from 1.8 million years ago to Manhattan and dressed them up, everybody would just assume it's a rare foreigner, maybe a little dumb one, but there would be no big difference (they no longer looked un-human, more likely than not they could speak, etc)
Sadly accurate.
10000%. I’ve been singing this song for decades!!
I love how some people are finally seeing what normal people have been pointing out for years. Though pro-woman/pro-girl recognition has been a good thing we've raised a whole generation of little boys who've never seen anything pro-man/pro-boy. In fact they've seen just the opposite. Boys wanting to be more like girls because girls are now the epitome of goodness. Masculinity is not toxic in of itself. Masculinity is what makes men be brave, to protect those they love with their lives, to be strong for the weak. When those parts of masculinity are used to hurt others it's not because masculinity is bad it's because as a child this person raised without a good, moral male role model.
There is more to this. The horrible diets and condition most people are in (most western countries are at around 75% overweight or obese with terrible diets and most have no exercise as part of there life). Some of this is of a direct consequence of the movement to needing both people in a marriage to work for so many more families then before. There have been a lot of consequences to the changes, some for the better and some for the worse. But for some reason the worse is discouraged from being discussed and it isn't just going to go away.
I never really thought about it until my wife brought it up. We have a little boy who’s now 7 but when he was about 3 or 4 she was really upset because Of how popular culture was framing all men and boys as being predisposed to violence and toxic masculinity. She couldn’t believe that there are people and a popular thought that he was destined to be horrible to people. Frankly I never gave it much thought but seeing her feeling damn near guilty pissed me off. Enough of this bs. Toxic men raise toxic men. We need good strong men just as much as we need mothers for our children
Definitely! Good men raise good men.
Most boys are prone to low level violence. Show me a boy who does wrestle or play rough. It's bred into us, and we learn to keep it under control as we get older.
100% gold. As Abraham Lincoln wrote "Right makes Might". If a boy is raised with a strong family values and strong belief in principled morality then strength will stem through the core of his soul when he becomes a full grown man. This is not toxic masculity. This is virtue we're talking about.
Okay, Esther Perel - world famous clinical psychologist and relationship therapist - with a husband and two sons of her own - talks about this frequently - and on you tube - (and also one of founding feminists in the 60's always said this too) - that we've had the women's revolution where we've come a long my way but there's still work to be done. BUT we (women, men, people, the world) need a MEN'S revolution of sorts to. What's needed isn't to neuter men or make men and women the same or make women dominant, but to understand the differences, make equality of opportunity but not eliminate merit, and have and do what we all need to thrive.
We need "strong" independent women AND men. Why would it be any other way? Steven Covey says the goal in relationships isn't codependency it's interdependence and to have that, both people need to be independent (independent so you can be interdependent).
And some people nontoxic parents raise serial killers.
There have been A LOT of Ukrainian women who have wanted to fight or have been actively fighting to defend their country.
The fact that the laughter is noticeably muted and strained is very telling. I suspect that women just don’t want to admit it: they want a man. They may not like everything that a man does during peacetime, but a masculine man does more for the ladies than the supposed man they think they want.
I was raised as a nice guy, but I've been trying to become a good man. I think the big key a lot of men in my generation are missing is to put a low priority on entertainment and a high priority on learning how to do stuff/competence
You have absolutely nailed it there. Women like men who CAN DO STUFF! And men like themselves when they CAN DO STUFF! But there is so much entertainment in our hand now (phones, people) that young men have lost the need to DO STUFF. I think Maher was spot on. BUT YOU WERE SPOT ON-ER!!
💯 I hate theatrics, just be a competent human being. That’s is sexy in itself and no one likes superficial people. Huge turn off!
I disagree. Women are capable of doing a lot more these days than in the past, and for those things they can't do, they have money they can use to pay someone to do it for them. As men, we have to compete constantly for women's attention nowadays because of the mobile phone. She's not even going to be paying attention to you while you fix that broken sink for her--she's going to be on the phone texting with Rick from the gym. If you're not more entertaining than that screen in front of her, good luck buddy
Coast City you couldn't be more wrong
.... There is no exclusivity between being a nice guy and a competent man... You don't trade one for another.
Zelensky is also one of the very few people who said a flat "NO!" to Donald Trump.
No he didn't. You just made that up.
And “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” was an accurate, credible and reasonable statement.
No he didn't. Lol.
HAHAHA did Zelensky said “no” when Trump talked about Ukraine’s corruption during Zelensky’s meeting. Time to look at the flashback.
I'm sorry, I didn't hear about Zelenskys conference with the US attorney general about Joe and Hunter Biden. BTW. You left out the "Do us a favor though....."
Zelensky on corruption in the Ukraine in response to Trump:
"It’s not that those things don’t exist. They do. All branches of government were corrupted over many years, and we are working to clean that up."
We live in an era where common sense is seen as brave. We really let the crazies take control of the media...
C. S. Lewis wrote "The Abolition of Man" back in 1943 - it has continued spiraling down. People want men of courage and integrity - or, at least, they say they do. When that sort of man shows up, they crucify him. This has gone on throughout history, and it is just getting worse.
I might check that out but thats life and universal to everyone. You're skinny you need to eat oh you need to cut back you're too thick. Spend money live life, no make sure you safe for your future this list goes on forever
I don't think Bill understands the difference between male toxicity and manliness. Volodymyr is both war leader and loving family man. And yes he's muy caliente. Women are leaving the country because they are bringing out with them the children and the elderly to care for. Don't forget the Ukrainian Army has 36,000 women in active combat, more than any standing army in the world.
Plus men are turned back at the border.
Thank you. One of the few in the comments that I agree with what the difference is between toxic masculinity and manliness.
What’s the difference between toxic and masculine, Zelensky isn’t doing “family man” anything? His wife and children left and rather than playing poppa he’s stayed behind in a warzone to fight or die. A war leader is someone involved in war are you saying war and violence are associated manliness? Women are fleeing because they don’t want to fight. Women are not physically built to compete with men. Wtf is manliness? Being a man is being willing to stare death in the face, suppress your emotions, grab your pair, and face it head on with no fear. Toxicity isn’t a thing, it’s completely subjective and it’s that rhetoric of wanting to pass on your duty, your job to women that is what’s turning us into a society of useless men.
@jimstr10 Source? From all that I have read wife and children remain in Ukraine. He doesn’t have to choose between “playing poppa” and leading the country. He can lead the country and be strong and have his family show solidarity by not leaving. Some women are fleeing. Some are remaining to fight. The Ukrainian people have a strong sense of pride and will fight their occupiers no matter their gender. Some have no choice but to leave with their children but they don’t feel good about it. Most women who are fleeing are not doing so bc they don’t want to flight but bc the have an obligation to keep their children safe. Courage and determination is present in every Ukrainian. Glory to Ukraine
@@jimstr10 Ahem. Got your facts wrong. 1) His family stays in Ukraine. 2) we know difference between a good man and a toxic one. 3) again I remind you the Ukrainian army has more women in active combat that any in the world. This does not detract from a man's manhood. 4) Zelenskyy being a leader does not make him a war monger. My father was a gentleman but not in war. Get the difference? 5) you are conveniently ignoring that women are primary caregivers for children and the aged, assuming many pro-social roles, plus are the reason you exist ~ don't forget. Good day to you.
There is no "inherent toxicity" with men. There are people who do good things and those who do bad. Judge them solely on their actions. Not creating a prejudice against all men, because somehow personal accountability is a foreign concept.
There should be personal accountability but if a part of society has a problem then you also need to look at social accountability.
@@gayeenglund1907 I could see this thought process if say we followed some of customs of the middle east. Ex: women hit with rods when in public, made to wear certain clothing, etc.
However, I think western countries use "societal issues" as a scapegoat for the actions of scumbags and criminal behavior.
Lmfao where is the prejudice against all men? Victimhood is not a masculine trait.
@@gayeenglund1907 Yeah, that's also true. What a society values shows up in how its kids are raised educated and socialized. People ARE responsible for their own actions and behaviors BUT they can and do internalize the values of the societies they grow up in too. And if those values are wrong and harmful, they are only corrected to the degree and when the individuals who grew up with them are able to gain self awareness and deliberately choose and change otherwise.
An example of this is my growing up in a well meaning but authoritarian, sexist, slightly mysoginist household. After becoming an adult it took me years to realize and correct the compliant, unassertive, people pleasing doormat I was raised to be. - Because society had raised my parents to think women and girls should be so that they raised me that way in the first place and thought they were doing the right thing.
This is seen in homosexuals too. People were raised in the 20th century in a society that didn't understand human sexuality and where homosexuality fit into that. It was seen as a mental disorder, sin, even a crime (and still is in many societies - I think it's still illegal in 10 countries including Russia oddly enough).
Even in America to this day homosexuals can struggle with overcoming self loathing they've grown up internalizing from their families, church, and culture's attitudes and beliefs about homosexuality. Families and communities and certainly some churches STILL exist that cast out any member that comes out as gay. I mean there are STILL closed gays cuz they don't want to bear the price coming out will cost them. And there are people who come out in their old age after living a lie their lives at their own cost and suffering (and often their straight spouse's and kids' suffering too).
I'm not here to wave the pride flag (though there's nothing wrong with that) I'm just using the personal and individual struggles with recognizizing homosexuality as perfectly okay as a very good example of the problems AND INFLUENCE that cultural and societal values can have on children and people / society in general.
@@aubreyjames8795 Well, by calling it toxic masculinity implies that by its very nature, men are toxic. Sounds like prejudice to me.
People being prejudice is not a direct signal of a person being victim. It's the act of accusing everyone in a group of people of bad behavior, due the actions of a few.
I don’t want to admit how close to home this is hitting!
Well said Bill! Real women want real men. Men, don’t ever apologize for your masculinity.
"Masculinity is like coffee: even when you decaffeinate it, there's still a little caffeine in there." BRILLIANT
We the great russian communist 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺propaganda ministry would like to thank our paid of shill aka our uneducated whisperer aka.

That actually surprises me about decaffeinated coffee though, ngl.
But it's not true. Watch some videos where 100% pussified men on college campuses try to engage in condescending wordplay with the likes of Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and other conservative speakers and get their asses absolutely handed to them. These 100% feminine losers are one soy latte away from being able to give birth (except that no one will ever have sex with them).
Sounds a lot like BS quotes that your aunt puts on her walls. Just a bunch of yadda yadda.
I'll try one: "Empathy is like coffee: even when you decaffeinate it, there's still a little caffeine in there."
You see what I mean? Take any abstract noun, call it "A". Say, "A is like coffee: even when you decaffeinate it, there's still a little caffeine in there."

The other reason for less sex would be that in America it's kinda hard to find time to date when everyone needs 3 different jobs to afford rent and gas

Very true!
This is the flashpoint of the country's pendulum swinging back from the hard left, toward the middle again. Note that nearly every New Rules closer, the last 6 months, has all been rooted with leftist fundamentals as what is being dragged in the mud. These are *all* right-wing rebuttals and gripes, just presented politely and witty through the mouth of a beloved classic liberal. And that is fine. Liberals need to speak up when it comes to the fringe on the left. Because right now, the fringe's ideas are the MAINSTREAM DOCTRINE of the entire left. Time to swing back. It was inevitable anyway. These phases are maximum 15 years, as history has shown. People get tired of the browbeating and lunacy, and change. Last time was the evangelical "moral majority" social grip of the 80's into the 90's.
@@abandoned-mines-novascotia brilliant take
He's lost relevance recently
Bill Maher is a self righteous jerk, but I have to admit he has great writers.
They've done studies recently here in the UK and found that college students, particularly men are having far less sex than they were, and part of the reasons as Bill said were fears of "toxic masculinity", more and more young men are wary of approaching women because of the fear they'll be accused of sexual harassment, so they choose not to bother, and as a result they're having less sex
"men are wary of approaching women because of the fear they'll be accused of sexual harassment, so they choose not to bother, and as a result they're having less sex"...you describe this as though it's a problem rather than a GOOD thing.

Just because some men are low-lifes doesn't mean we can't celebrate and honor legitimate, non-toxic masculinity that gets crap done! I appreciate that my husband's instinct is to fix and protect - I don't find that toxic, it's hot!.
Yeah well his point about it being ultimately on men is ridiculous. After about 20 seconds of a conversation with a young woman these days the indoctrination is so obvious and overwhelming you'd rather be talking to a brick. Best advice is go overseas and find a woman that still isn't brainwashed and has some traditional sensibilities and values. There are still actual strong women looking for strong men.
Slipper slope doesn't even begin to explain what the West went through over the last 50 years. It's going to take generations or real culture war to dig out of this hell.
It's a fun rant, but gotta say, it's pretty ironic he's basing his whole "toxic masculinity is a good thing" rant on how brave Volodymyr Zelenskyy is, but we wouldn't have to endure this war if the dude attacking him wasn't such an egomaniac. I'd argue Putin is the poster child for "toxic" masculinity: Impulsive, irrational, driven to violence. I don't think anyone's definition for toxic masculinity would come close to what Volodymyr Zelenskyy is exemplifying: dignified, brave, measured...
Yes, it's Maher having fun but please don't tell women who they fancy...Zelensky???!!! Not me.
@@brentsievers3629 What that means is it is the same masculinity that attacks and it is the same that defends represented by Russians and Ukrainian men, world is full of grey my dude it is not black and white, Men and Women are different it just evolution and some of the traits in masculinity is toxic and so is some trait on femininity but in the west from kindergarten only is treated as a problem to be dealt with and the other is ignored, at the end of the day women like strong and brave men and there is nothing anyone can do about it
His “instinct”? You make him sound like he’s your pet dog
I think a lot of the drop-off in sex can be attributed to how freaking overworked Americans are and how stressful our lives have become trying to get by and get ahead. We work longer hours for less net gain and usually in a family both parents work FT now. It's difficult to get amped up for sex when all you really want to do is fall asleep watching TV on the couch.

Bill was very correct when he said that today guys asking a girl out is seen as aggressive. I have seen several posts on social media lately of girls asking for advice. It was different people with the same question. Seems a young man asked a girl out on 2 different occasions. The girl said no twice, then asked if she should report the guy to the police for sexual assault. I asked if the males had put their hands on them at any point or said anything offensive. Both said no. I then told them that the guys didn't do anything wrong, they just simply expressed an interest in taking them out. Well...the responses I got from lots of people made it seem as if I had just told the gals to lay back and enjoy it. Total, absolute insanity. So, watch it guys...not sure how you're supposed to ask someone on a date anymore. This has turned into a very bizarre world.
In which country was this if I may ask? I live in South Africa (well at least for now) and this sounds outright bizarre.
@Deborah King, yup and this is exactly why men and women aren't having as much sex. Men are afraid (not of women) but of being accused of rape, sexual harassment, or some other type of abuse simply for expressing their attraction or mere interest.
And yes, I understand that cat-calling and other such behavior can be problematic (although some women actually enjoy cat-calling if done a certain way) but merely asking a woman out or even just voicing how attractive we think she is, in my opinion, is not wrong in any way. All she has to do is say she's not interested and that's it, both parties move on.
It's like people today have forgotten that we are, at the most basic level, biological beings. And biological beings have instincts, including the instinct to engage in sex. But it turns out that we are now trying to criminalize this instinct. It's really a sad thing.
@@GiDaOne America. It seems that we have a LOT of problems these days.
@@deborahking5610 Well I get why it in some circumstances it can be a problem. The issue is that if a guy does it in a non-empathetic way, the lady can get uncomfortable, and I understand that can border on harassment (especially if he doesn't back off). But even so, rejection is inevitable in such encounters, and even if done right it can be uncomfortable for both parties. I guess that some people take that inevitable discomfort as something that should be avoided and therefore labels it as harassment even though it's not.
@@juanlambda27 Interesting thing about the cat-calling: I think it's cultural. Both cat-calling as well as the negative way we mostly view it in the West. I'm not a woman but I can imagine it's like shining a big bright light on somebody who just wants to be left alone. You can't assume that somebody suddenly wants to be the object of attention especially if you're just walking to the shop or something. So I understand the negativity around this.
But I remember meeting a Colombian lady some years ago in Germany. She was amazed that the German guys didn't flirt with her in public - in Colombia, that was apparently the norm, and she actually enjoyed it. In Germany, you keep your distance, at least in public. Culture plays a big role in these things.
Is it time yet to discuss Toxic Femininity?
Bill - you never cease to amaze. You are my prophet
Bill you are always on point and have great
intelligent humor.
Ah Bill, Zelenskyy is hot because he’s a hero, he’s the truest public servant, willing to die for his country. That level of commitment and that level of bravery is hot. There’s nothing toxic about it.
That’s sort of the point. You can’t get that sort of loyal devotion if you throw out all masculinity. Not sure you understood his caffeine analogy
If it wasn’t for masculinity at high levels, you’d be either British or German.
He’s hot because he’s not a Trumper. He’s not a cowardly authoritarian. No Modern Republican could ever be this attractive
Except I don't think Pajama Boy could pull it off.
@@JC18630 yeah, it's society that lumps the two together. I'm pretty sure Bill is saying that the problem is that positive masculine qualities are being called toxic just because they are masculine. I don't think he's revering toxicity or saying that that is what women are attracted to.
You are spot on! Thank you! I’m so tired of this nonsense.
“B.D. Energy” has always been appreciated but when it’s wrapped in a book reader with patience and kindness, somehow that energy turns into something very valuable. Balance. I look for balance. What a journey.
yep, that's what Bill is missing about the appeal of Zelensky, it is not the force, it's the balance
Balance is good of course, but patience and kindness is something that is earned, mutually. Typically when a man is impatient he’s an asshole but when a woman is impatient it’s expected that her gratification is completed promptly. Kindness comes in all shapes and sizes and should be earned, not expected.
I think another reason why so many people find him hot is that he is a YOUNG president. I mean, he's not 70+ years old, gets shit done and looks overall like a nice guy you wanna hang out with.
and is white
Absolutely. Vladimir Putin is aging like a banana and is an evil rotten war-mongering son of a bitch. Volodymyr Zylenski is handsome and unlike a lot of presidents and prime ministers knows the importance of being able to stand and fight for his country. Similarly; Taiwan's president Tsai-Ing Wen proves in a region that is rather patriarchal that women are just as capable as men of running a country.
Goddamn right! There Bill goes again, preaching everything I’m thinking.
So true. In the Christchurch earthquake it was men who ran into the collapsed buildings. Apart from an heroic female aussie anaestholigist who crawled between collapsed floors to anaesthstise a person who needed a leg amputated. But by and large it was men who put their lives at risk to help strangers. Men think of themselves as expendable if woman and children need protection.
Absolute gold
I’ve never had to play your episodes over and over again. The BEST one of all time Bill Maher!
I am quite possibly the least manly man alive, and I can only say... yeah. This is all pretty much true. I wish that when I was younger, I'd been told to be bold and assertive instead of been told to be meek and unthreatening. I'm not saying I'd have been a manly-man now if I had, but the messages I got made me double down on my worst habits. I had to learn, late and with difficulty, that no matter how much the world told me to sit down and shut up, it would actually reward me for standing up and making my voice heard.
Thanks for saying that.
very true
I think there's value both in being assertive as well as unthreatening. Yet that's a very hard balance to achieve and usually end up going to the extremes (by becoming either an aggressive bully or a defenseless push-over.)
At least you are male and can stay relatively desirable into your 50s. I feel a lot worse for women who were taught to disregard their most fertile years, then in the blink of an eye realize what it means to be 35.
Did Michael Cera pass away?
Wow Bill is spot on! In my experience almost every date I've been on the woman wanted me to be the initiator. Not aggressor, not an asshole, but still the expectation was that I be a man-be confident, make concise and committed decisions, and not cry and wine about anything. Some of the dates were all the more happy when I showed to be a protector of them. By and large, the women wanted a Man. Some even confirmed out loud about that. And it's also true, the sensitive sissy man ends up in the friend zone.
that's why I feel Maher missed the point a bit here. the vast majority of women that talk about "toxic masculinity" don't picture the "man of their dreams" as someone that is insecure (and they don't claim something different in public either).
but SOME traits that are generally associated with men do feel outdated by now. e.g. if she is never able to talk about her feelings with you, chances of it working out are less likely in 2022. and, to add to that, if a man is not at all able to talk AT ALL about his feelings, concerns etc., it won't as well (which is not the same as "crying and wining about everything" which I 100% agree is a turnoff - btw not just for women, I'd argue most men also don't care for women who do so).
Honestly I'm so glad I found Bill Maher. I'm tired of all these bs people on both sides.
Edward from Twilight was actually toxic as shit, looking back at it. 😂
Even Robert Pattinson would agree
@@luckyDancer100 Dude was literally stalking her, breaking into her house, and wanted her to kill her own baby. 😭
.....and naturally he became Christian Grey. And even more toxic guy.
The thud when the line graph hit maximum slump... priceless 🇺🇦😏
Billy Badass here praised the Vietnam war, which no one supports, even though he was old enough to fight but too weak to go. 🤫🤫
@lochnessamonster1912
I have no idea how he feels about the Vietnam War but he turned 18 just a few months before the helicopters left Saigon. Do the math. He was born in 56. I get it, you're a hater of Bill Maher.
Toxic masculinity doesn't mean masculinity itself is toxic, but that *toxic* masculinity is toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to a very specific mindset that is tied to what society perceives as masculine, it is not really what masculinity is or should be
Exactly. He’s acting like masculinity and toxic masculinity are the same thing. I expected Bill to be smart enough to understand the difference. This whole clip was very disappointing.
Disturbing how often men and women who have never fought on a battlefield end up being the biggest cheerleaders for war.
I've fought a war, and will say war fucking sucks. If the world could go without fighting ever again, I would be happy. But I'm also a realist. Humans are violent, emotional, illogical creatures of passion, greed, and selfishness. Si vis pacem, para bellum! By being the biggest, baddest mother fucker on the block you actually deter violence and war. See Russia right now. They would have already been stomped into the ground if they didn't have nukes. Heck, they probably would have never invaded Ukraine if they didn't have nukes.
The most loudmouth "tough guy" kid in the school is often that one kid who hasn't been punched once in his life.
@@Meitti Yes! The frequency and magnitude of their threats is directly proportional to the level of cowardice.
America became comfortable and bored with all the success to the point where people started to create and invent struggles where there were none and now here we are, it's only so much bending you can do until you break! There are no winners and everyone gets a trophy brought us here.
No political systems are run by greed and corporations moron, all of them
Name a struggle that isn’t a thing. One that’s just made up as you described.
I like your statement. I believe it is a factor in our modern problems.
I agree
@@greg3087 Transgenderism is 1. Women's rights and the supposed wage gaps also come to mind. Climate change. I could go on and on I'm sure. Gnaw on these examples and try not to cry-
Bill, I think you might be my new hero.
OMG THAT GRAPHIC!!! HAHA THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! LOL
PREACH, BILLY!
You're missing a critical feature of Zelenskiy that is missing from most masculinity we see: honour, courage, protectiveness of women and children. He is NOT toxic masculinity. He's the real thing.
Exactly
Exactly. Bill wants to equate zelensky to toxic masculinity but it's not the same thing. You described it better
Exactly...Putin is the example of what is considered toxic. Bullying a smaller nation because he is a nationalistic d*ck going through an end of life crisis...how many post about his sexiness lol. And most of the high celibacy numbers trace back to Covid. And gee if you type anti-women phrases into etsy...shocker there's merchandise. THis dude is a Muppet.
@@cambricjimenez4882 Nationalism is good.
Exactly. Bill is manufacturing something to be offended by, so he can be publicly offended. Exactly the terrible crime he accuses the left of.
Silly Bill.
Love you, Vladamir
Dear Americans, I just wanted to say, we in Eastern Europe are greatly thankful for your help, we know big military support comes from your taxes and hard work, but there would be almost no chances to win against bully Russia. We were oppressed for many years. Thank you for helping us to live free. Thank you again THANK YOU !
We stand with you and the vast majority of us don't mind our government spending money on this. There are Ukrainian flags all over my neighborhood in Oxford Michigan.
@@kyle857 You don’t speak for the majority of us. Some of us would rather the government spend away our money on stupid bills or spending packages.
Bill has NEVER changed. Always reliable and as ever consistent and this is needed. Thank you 🙏🏼
He has changed so much that i am here listening to him , and i am considered to be a far right im actually a conservative libertarian and that does exist .
Wrong! After they canceled his first show back in 2004, and then doing the movie "Religulous" where many Muslims didn't exactly welcome his project with open arms, he has become a total IsIamophobe and pro-Zionist, even though Israel is an APARTHEID country--which he denies by the way, in the same manner a Nazi would deny the HoIocaust!
Oh no, the Nazi comparison fools are out.
@@melissaworthen9327 no
He never spoke to reason during the past two years. He went along with the insanity and fed into Trump derangement syndrome.
