Thank you for the change!
I actually think- the new form of masculinity is to quit discussing such crap about gender and what are types of behaviors comfortable to each gender role when there are degrees in masculinity as well as femininity.
As far as women?
If there is anything to help encourage and inculcate bad or good to make men more willing to fulfill a lay-dees biological agenda at the cost of any individual male’s agenda…that’s what they are up for!!!
As far as earning masculinity? Sounds like bullocks to me, Grace! There is nothing to gain but to become disposable for society- whether one is a dusty to a HVM…whatever way one is masculine is very much beside the point.
I think paring of with whoever isn’t what it is use to be and in more ways than one may well be obsolete.
Existential bedrock? More like existential 💩💩💩💩!
Both segges are full of it; whether it’s innate or socially constructed, or both…
The real problem is that there is major manipulative propaganda about both genders and even to what extent both are socially constructed or NOT!
We are all individuals inculcated and manipulated from our youth about our nature…gender part of identity society wishes US to serve whatever way it’s viewed by the masses and the elites!
I think identity sought through external validation is a pile of donkey doo-doo!!!

Don’t worry about it Alex. Women will fix this just as soon as they fix all the rest of the problems in society.
But first they have to have their nails done watch an hour of tic toc & wait for their Uber eats to arrive! priorities!

Well, we're waiting.....
I think the major factor of why young men aren't very masculine these days is probably Single Mothers (and having no male role model, or a father).
Single mothers are at an all time high!
When boys are brought up with only a female influence they are more likely to express feminine traits.
As they grow older into their adulthood they will eventually get enough male influence that they will grow into their own masculinity.
Or they will spend enough time alone growing without only having a female influence (once they move out), and similarly their masculinity will start to present itself.
Single mothers try to supress masculine traits, mostly because they don't want their son to take charge of their household, and (maybe unwittingly) they encourage traits THEY want from someone who lives with them (to avoid arguments), and they'll inevitably make their son(s) more feminine.
I bet young men were more masculine if you went back to around the 1950's when Single Mothers were rare and scorned by society. 😌
I definitely agree with you. Nowadays, a decent amount of males don’t have men around them to look up to, but I’m attempting to utilize my platform to exhort men to become better!
They cannot raise a man, they can try hard and raise a "nice guy" but not a man.
Single mothers used to be shunned and sometimes expelled from the villages/towns. And the townspeople stood by it. Which means very real consequences for females. Which had the results of women staying in line. We need to bring this practice back.
@@smithsmith1956 No need for medieval practices mate, just stop the cash stream from the government.
Add to that that most kindergarten and school teachers are women too. At least here in Germany.
My first thoughts was that the reason for so many young men feeling more gender neutral would be the schooling system, where women reign and basically train the boys to be good girls.
Yes, but women dominate everywhere now. Boys are growing up in a sea of pink think. The only ... only... place where men still dominate is in the blue collar trades. Because women can't or won't do physical work.
My 14 year old daughter would agree with you. She insists that public school is just for indoctrinating kids(her own opinion-I haven’t said that to her, even though I agree)

Alexander, thank you for explaining about boys being rude to their mothers. I wish I had known that 5 years ago for my 18 yo son. His dad was ill since he was 10 and died when he was 16, so I was mostly raising him alone. I have since his dad’s passing greatly encouraged his masculinity. And I have to thank you for a part of that. I’ve been watching you for about 2 years now. Thanks for what you do for men!!
But you as a woman cannot guide him through his journey of masculinity.
Y9u kust call upon an elder from the vilage to allow them to show your orphan son to learn from them.

I just finished showing this to my 11 year old son. It made him more comfortable with dealing with all the BS at school.
I separated from my boys mum. He like flowers pink colours shys away from challenges and physical ability. I told her her parenting style would be OK for a girl but raising boys is very different. She won't acknowledge this difference or respond to my concerns. My only hope is that her "stage 4" illness takes her sooner rather than later so that I can steer him back to the harsh reality that men face. Sorry Jacob. Flowers rainbows and butterflies are a women's fairy tale. Grit, heavy weights and getting up again and again is the male reality. His mum is only going to make his life harder than it needs to be. She is raising him to find a husband.

I'm glad I was born in the late 80s and grew up in the 90s. I didn't even know about genders studies and this feminism nonsese until I hit my mid 20s.
I started to see it enter the University in the early 90s when I was a student in a humanities department. The male students treated it with derision, but now it has been taken over as gospel and taught to young men to feminise them.
I graduated high school in 1995. A classmate of mine said she was going to major in something called "Women's studies". I asked what it was, she explained, so I replied "What kind of job are you supposed to get with that degree?". Blank stare.
@@blurglide that's a valid question. if we didn't have to work than we wouldn't need to go to school. but since we need to work to make money (im not just saying strictly in a job for a employer) we would need a knowledge that earns a living and that's somthing that baffles me that to this day all of these non business non stem degrees basically don't get wiped clean. like who the hell would get these degrees if there's no decent jobs for them. imagine if there was no scholarships or grants or parents saying sorry you're paying for your own diploma. womens studies would vanish overnight.
even hte 1990s was starting to get weird if you ask these older xennials or younger gen x crowds.
I'm 72. Only child. Worked after-school jobs since 8th grade. Built a hot rod model A in high school. Got a PhD in Geology/Geophysics and worked in the deserts, mountains, and forests. I'm not a traditional "dude" in that I don't care for sports, dont drink beer, am not loud. But I've never considered myself to be anything other than male, especially when I'm around women. In my generation, we didn't even know of "non-binary". We just got on with out lives as men and women. I think the graph shows that. It will be interesting to see it in 40 years.
I'm 76 and I agree. The 64+ cohort hasn't changed over time. Society has. If this snapshot was 1960 you could pretty much cut and paste the current 64's to the 18-24 group. Alex interpretation doesn't see that.
Male does not mean masculine. The poll is not really about anything, except vague feelings about masculinity and feminity (which aren't defined) and done as an online poll.
Can i get your advice regarding what it takes to get phd as a mature age student? Thanks
Love how you break down the challenges between men and women in relationships and you're using actual DATA instead of just speculation.
Just like Grace, I always provide data and statistics in my content to back up m claims! I can’t mislead my fans!
Acknowledging patterns and recognizing the reality around you isn't "speculation". Anyone with half functioning eyes and two braincells can see this around them.
@@smithsmith1956 There are lots of things I've suspected to be true. But there's a big difference 1 person having casual conversations with a small handful of women and having someone take a more scientific approach and having a larger sample size.
Thin survey data.
In most cases what you call "speculation" is just observation and it lines perfectly with reality. I dont have yo look up studies and data in order to draw a conclusion for certain behaviours women display.
Less men probably feel “masculine” because the idea of being masculine has changed. 30 years ago, masculinity probably referred to being courageous, having goals, leadership, standing up for yourself etc. but now when people think of masculinity they think of getting into fights, being loud and boorish, being good at sports like rugby, drinking a lot etc.
I find it interesting why it's become so important to be drawn to the centre. Do we want an androgynous society? If there is no contrast how can we truly see?
Not ONLY does it seem like we (the elites who are leading societies) want androgyny, but it seems like they are trying to confuse every other identity marker in humanity. These attacks seem to be on race and religion as well! Some of it is more subtle than others, but when it appears it is almost unmistakable the attempts to deliberately confuse and to undermine the diversity they 'say' we should embrace. We are heading into a VERY unhealthy trajectory!
It’s to alienate people. We are being deracinated as well. All to destroy Western civilisation.
There are too many men on the dating market so the little ones should become trannies
It's a natural metaphysical principle: opposites attract. Two dipoles are always seeking to reunify. We're just going about it in a myriad of incorrect ways. A man acquiring femininity via a marriage to a woman is correct, a man acquiring femininity via "becoming" a woman or by continuing to seek it from his mother after he's an adult or by whatever other way is incorrect.
@@-whackd The chart also shows how much more bisexual young women are, imo.
It's not just the gender neutral culture, but the single parent households too. My mom divorced my father when I was 9 and I could only see him every other weekend. She also turned me against him and tried to raise me in a way that I wouldn't turn out like him. By the way she told me earlier this year she intended to raise me to be a momma's boy 😑
There is a fly in the ointment of your interpretation of this data. This represents a snapshot of the attitudes of different age groups towards their gender. It says nothing about how those attitudes have evolved with time for any particular individual.
An alternate, and equally valid explanation is that cultural attitudes have shifted with time, and people tend to pick up the prevailing attitudes when their ideas of gender are first being formed in their teens and early twenties. And so their attitude doesn't change with time, but the prevailing set of cultural values extant at the time they first formed their opinions changed.
I suspect that some change with age is do both to increasing maturity and wisdom as you describe, and some due to shifting cultural attitudes as I suggest as an alternate explanation. What portion lies where is an interesting question.
Like Poldy I was going to write the same thing as you Omni. There is the social conditioning factor that was different a half-century ago than now. I think it's great that young people question the oversimplification of masculine and feminine, and instead see us human beings having all the same set of human attributes, but with some human attributes amplified in men (e..g. create, build, repair) and some amplified in women (e.g. emotionality, child-rearing). Words and labels are the problem, always have been. Oversimplifications create confusion.
@@MarkieMarkie92103 let’s me honest, the young people are not thinking about masculinity and femininity in nuanced ways. They are parroting the same pseudo intellectual garbage from their indoctrination camps and social media programs.
I'm 47, I would say both. Sure culturally there is an intentional push for gender dysphoria today, but at the same time you live more life as a man, you become more happy with the role.
@@61dodgelancer - While I agree that this is not as clearly written as it could be, you seem to be fairly unusual in feeling that it was so confused that no meaning whatsoever could be extracted from my comment. Most people seemed to understand what I was trying to say.
Still, I will try to edit it for clarity since your criticism is detailed and not without merit, if perhaps a bit harsh. :-)

What is it, 80% of western kids are born either out of wedlock and or the father is no longer in the home before the kid turns 10?
I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with that, that doesn’t cause a lack of mentoring for young men. Naw. Women can do it all!
Alex can you now please tie this whole discussion up with a bow by asking every person who has had a failed relationship the same question and how "concentrated" in their masculinity and femininity they felt they were when the relationship ended.
I would like to see evidence that those strongest relationships that haven't broken are where the man feels entirely or mostly masculine and the woman feels entirely or mostly feminine, whereas all the others that have ended are in part due to the entire confusion surrounding identity and what we actually bring to a relationship versus what we think we should bring to it.
amen! How many times have we heard "I need to go find myself" as an excuse to break up.
Agreed, I would love to see more aspects of evidence like this.
I think that this graph has a lot to do with definitions, if a man is raised by people who claim that "masculinity means being bad and not caring about others" they may mistake their own masculinity for "femininity", likewise, a man might be told that "real man love soccer, only pansies play Dungeons & Dragons", so they would feel "less masculine" for not liking soccer.
Attraction is based on polarity - stability, however, is based on compatibility (i.e., similarity of interests, hobbies, passions, worldviews etc.).
This should be common sense, yet I get so much push back explaining basic reality.
The path many people take in their lives likely takes them through many failures, missed opportunities and unresolved challenges. That's part of the growth opportunity. Masculinity can and is often acheived despite lack of what some others might perceive as success.

Best video ever. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
I think this may be the best video on the topic I've every seen on YT. This video would have been very helpful to me when I was 12 or 13. I didn't have a dad growing up. Just me, sisters, and my mom. Mom tried but probably didn't understand what I was going through at that age.
I am 76 and agree with most of your points and I too am truly concerned about how utterly weak and feminized modern males are. If you are old you can really see the differences because you've lived all those bars on the graph. And I can tell you that if you set that graph in 1970 or better 1960, the 18 to 24 group would have a lot ... a lot... different look. That 2% section would look a lot more like 40 or 50%. So WHY the decline, that is the real question. The 64+ cohort hasn't changed over time... society has!!
I can see several factors you haven't identified. First, and most obvious is that the trend to masculine doesn't (or didn't) start at puberty. It used to start at the learning to walk stage and learning to piss standing up, and was supported and endorsed by both mother and especially father. Second, there has been a huge shift rural to urban over many decades. Rural life tends almost automatically to support masculine values. Third, as you've somewhat hit on, is the rise of female empowerment, which in practical terms means women and their emotional think being in and taking over as educators and administrators as now a dominant percentage. This has resulted in this slow sink into this soft, pink, molasses like glue of feminine think being in control everywhere that emphasizes compassion, empathy, feelings and pity... all not traditional hard masculine values , especially common sense, which is forbidden now it seems. Fourth, and probably the most significant, is the chemical disruptors in everything we eat and drink which has demonstrated disruption effects on testorone almost from the point of conception!! These didn't exist prior to 60's!!! This dramatic decline in testorone levels ... and sperms counts... has to be a huge factor here. The truly terrifying thing is it is barely mentioned in the 'feminized' media these days, because it doesn't, of course, directly affect women. Yet.
Good comment.
The decline in testosterone and sperm levels is not the environment. I's not happening in Muslim countries and female testosterone levels(they are made by the same biochemical pathways, ie via androstenedione) are rising. It's due to all the things you said before. Males produce testosterone via the hypothalamus and pituitary from cerebral stimulation. It is female empowerment itself doing this, like in ancient Rome and slaves on the US plantations who were poor breeders(unfortunately for the owners0 demonstrating the effects of male subjugation. I'm 75 and a reproductive physician. You are absolutely correct in your observations though. As an erstwhile conscript soldier I think that may be a factor?
@@normangoldstuck8107 Maybe, but I'm with Shawna Swan, a major researcher and the one blowing the horn, on this one. Cheap plastics for carrying water and everything else are everywhere in Africa and have been since the late 60's and birth rates there are also declining. Population increase in third world countries now is more about better health care ensuring survival. When I lived in Tanzania for 3 years in late 60's they didn't even count kids until they'd survived to 5, but a lot of women had a kid practically every year.
@@normangoldstuck8107 your comment piqued my interest, although I was aware that animals do not breed well in captivity, I hadn't considered that the decline in male testosterone levels in modern society might be explained solely by their increased degree of subjugation, without having to invoke the theory of endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the environment
@@kimilsungthefirst6840 So why is it only in the western world and why are testosterone levels rising in women. Please explain that to me with the biochemistry.
Am 71, wife of 34 years 65. I am an Air Force vet. Volunteered during the cold war. Happily married, we are very attracted to each other as a man and woman. And yes, we don't give an f about current gender confusion. Our society of young people is weak and coddled. Go ask a Ukrainian youth if they feel gender confusion. They are too busy fighting for their lives.
That's good! Yes, ask a Ukrainian man about their masculinity, and they are busy fighting for their lives. But it wasn't that way until the war. I used to live in Ukraine and Russia. Very few Ukrainian and Russian men I know are very strong and have high testosterone. But most there do NOT! Many of my Ukr guy friends are soft, scrawny nerdy guys. I hope this war changes them!
Thank you for explaining the male need to grow apart from the mother. I've read about it but you put it into very easy-to-understand words.
I had a difficult relationship with my mother when growing up. I identified myself much more with to father! My masculine side developed to be quite strong. But I've also learned the hard way that in many ways I am not strong in the way that men (with well-developed masculinity) are.
I have really opened up to my feminine side as I've reached middle age. It has not been process that I took on consciously, but one that has unfolded naturally. Difficult but also very enlightening & freeing experience to go through!
if this survey had been done in 1950, the results would have been completely different. nevertheless, very interesting!
Exactly right. That 64+ cohort hasn't changed. Society has... thanks to feminism effectively taking over. I'm 76 and seen it all go down.
Great analysis here Alex. Thanks for pointing this out!
Facts as always thank you Alexander!
Good to see more of this. Guys, my dating life improved so much when I learned about polarity. Now I'm with a woman who makes good money in management but knows how to relax into her feminine when she comes home to me.
Jordan peterson was talking about that aggressiveness women have when defending their kids. Its not masculinity. He calls it the predator ethos, where anything deemed a predator is a massive threat that needs to be eliminated and they viciously go about it
The graph does not just show the function of aging, it is also shows the susceptibility of young people to the propaganda of modern sects of people that they will grow out of as they get real-life experiences and gain wisdom.
I disagree that women are an ultimate goal for all men or a strong symbol of masculine success, they are typically flawed and some men can't be bothered with the job of finding a great and worthy long term partner
Real feminine moral women, are really great to be with. It’s like icing on the cake.
I think younger people don't identify with masculinity, because they don't know what precisely constitutes masculinity by definition. Let me give an example:
1) "The Philosophy" of Masculinity generally means: tenacity, assertiveness, stoicism, problem solving / applying logic and rationality, shouldering responsibility, protecting family, providing.
2) But "The Image" of Masculinity involves: Having Resources, Wealth, Being a home owner / checking all the boxes ... (at 18-24, men don't), being ripped / physically sculpted, being in the military / position of power, taking part in activities like hunting / fishing, being unemotional / brash, having high status and popularity, high levels of charisma, sleeping with / being desired by a lot of women.
The "Philosophy" and the "Image" should never be associated with each other imo. My dad never went to the gym, had long hair for half his life, looked like a pretty boy, is a vegetarian, loves gardening, is a romantic, he's both a tough and tender person, uses both emotions and logic in conversation. Back then, this was undoubtedly still masculine, because "The Image" didn't matter. (if 70's / 80's / 90's rock or metal tells you anything). But today, by "image" he would be called a "Beta".
The thing is, my dad earned and supported the family his whole life, he provided for me through unemployment / struggles, and 35+ years later kept the unit together. That to me IS Alpha / Masculine. Even if he used sensitivity / emotions (traits considered feminine) to achieve it, it was never thought of as something that diminished masculinity.
While by "image" an Alpha purist masculine ripped jock, the so called pinnacle of masculinity, that couldn't do the above to me is a "Beta" / someone low in masculinity.
As a thought experiment, just imagine Jordan Peterson with long hair, vegan, loves gardening, wearing a lilac purple anime tee is standing in front of you. His brain still houses "the philosophy" of masculinity, but he would be perceived as feminine / or perceive himself as feminine, because he doesn't fit "the image" of an ideally masculine man.
When masculinity becomes about "The Philosophy" again, rather than "The Image", I believe more people will identify with it.
Amazing and excellent work finding this graph. It is easy to observe that there is less of this gender weirdness or confusion with older mature adults.
Yes... see my post... and realize that that old cohort hasn't changed. They, we, were always there at those levels, including at age 18-24. WE haven't changed. Society has. This is why his interpretation is inaccurate.
because we were raised in a time in which the culture was not sick and twisted

Starting at 65 then working backwards you can see the makings of the inevitable end coming. We're in for some really rough times.
I WANT to be masculine, I don't wanna be gender neutral.
However I'm very feminine it's very hard to grow my masculinity. It's very very difficult. However even if improve 1% of my masculine it benefits me significantly .
I tried an online test if I'm masculine, but it turned out to be In 90% feminine and 50% masculine.

Alex when you have sponsers of any kind please do your due research (most youtubers don't) no telling if they're a shell company or something. Much like how Established Titles and Kamikoto knives are scam companies
Let us not discount the modern trend toward a toxic masculinity and women trying to teach young men to be less masculine and how cool it is nowadays to have gender identity problems
When we look at the data we have also to consider the time when they were collected. For example, if someone would have done something similar at 1950 then this graph would defnitily look different. The gender neutrality idea is something created in our age-older people were not influenced by that.
So if we do the study later again, I would presume that there will be slightly more older people not sure of their gender. It depends where this trend goes if it reaches more people and how long it influences them.
And dont forget that the results also depend on the country.
Why we men always need to prove something. I think we are valuable no matter what we do or not do.
Agreed.
My advice, stay away from Leftists. Especially the ones with pink, blue or green hair.
Regrettably, in reality, a person is "valued" in relation to what he/she can contribute to, provide for, benefit others,
While I might consider myself and anyone "valuable" on some existential level, I'm worthless in practicality to others if I cannot in some way aid them in their lives as they seek to survive/thrive.
While it might be a morally noble idea that "every human being is equally intrinsically valuable", and perhaps that's the way we wish reality was, while each of us might deserve civility, each of us is only as valuable as what we are able to do and actually do as part of a society.
Our contribution(s) might be material, emotional, physical, psychological, familial, financial, social, et cetera, but unless I prove I can offer from among those, then others won't regard me as "valuable". (Others might claim they value me although I lack contribution, but only from a "I-don't-want-to-be-shallow-myself/don't-want-him-to-feel-worthless" pretense).
A man has to demonstrate and prove his ability to others in order to be valued by others, especially by women (who instinctively and often subconsciously assess men for men's potential and actual ability to benefit their lives).
Great video. Learnt a lot about and shows the difference between the two sexes.
There's also another different way to interpret the data as there being social norm shift where people are generally more neutral due to various reasons.
The better way to see if the people change would actually be some cohort study where we would see if people would generally lean back to their gender side as they age, conducting the same survey a few years later with proper age grouping to see if the percentages for all age groups keeps around the same or actually decreasingly distinctive in those masculinity-feminity choice.
I would say I'm neutral all the time. I never specifically realize I'm male or female til I go take a piss. Most of the time when you're at work or in the gym, you're focused on the task at hand, not thinking "Am I feeling feminine?" Lol
My son's and my son's friends all fit in that 2% masculine category as far as I can see. I myself never ever had the idea there's only a molecule of femininity in me. My wife wished I had... but she's about 100% feminine, so she has to shut up...
Wonder if this is a problem of the English speaking countries. Sometimes you get the idea many don't dare to have a identity.
Another reason is that the older people know it doesn't help to be more feminine as a man ore more masculine as a woman. Women know that they have an easier life if they embrace their femininity and men know that life is hard and they have to be masculine to get through it.
I don't like the sound of that "turkesterone," and just because something is "naturally occurring" doesn't mean there won't be bad consequences. I hope you did your research on that thing.
That's the misconception that just because it naturally occurs in the body, adding it is inconsequential. Increasing naturally falling levels could be detrimental.
It's a hormone.

2:40 as always you are absolutely spot on Alexander. I always saw myself as a more gender neutral guy, even crossdressed for fun, but as I reached my 30's the reality of being man dawned on me and now I relish being one and having masculine traits.
This is why children shouldn't be allowed to make life-altering decisions regarding their gender when they're at an age that they don't even know what food they like!
Did you liked men, or women? Or both?
@@curlyhairdudeify I've always liked women.
i think the reason that only 2% of 18-24 year olds feel completely masculine is partly due to a lack if confidence and that they feel like they still have progress to make
Yup. I had to listen to some of the fight club soundtrack after this one.
If somebody asked me to rate on a scale how masculine or feminine I feel, I wouldn't be able to answer. I am usually feeling emotions like happiness or curiosity or peacefulness. I've never felt the emotion "femininity" or "masculinity"--in fact Im not sure if they are emotions at all.
It's not an emotional "feeling," but rather an energetic feeling.
How does one make a graph based on people’s responses about personal questions and not think of the percentage of them lying.
It is a YouGov online poll. Neither masculinity or feminity are even defined.
Do you think many young people lie about feeling gender neutral?
Or do you think many older men lie about feeling like men?
Or maybe both?
Or do you think the lies go the other direction and that in reality the differences between the age groups are even bigger?
In addition to what Alex mentioned as being caused by a male's relationship to his masculinity I concur, that over time it will solidify. However I fear that this trend will continue on given the societal trends of broken families, gender ideology, the emasculation of young men, and the societal punishing of masculinity we see today. Unfortunately I think that in the short term these trends are going to continue in this direction.
Could you show graphs on entire screen?
I'm Feminine with superficial things, I like the color pink and I think I'd be considered high maintenance with cosmetic stuff. I talk with my hands sometimes but that habit is fading. But everything else I'm completely masculine, I train and look forward to competition bunch of other stuff. I do wish I was a woman though. But I'm a guy and I play the guy role pretty well I'd say. It's weird, I don't really care about gender. Everybody just seems the same really.
Good video and some insightful points in here. However I disagree that a man has to be in a long term, successful relationship to be 'fully' masculine.
There's an addition to this joke but there's a New Wife Store:
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex, sports, and has her own money.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
The process of individuation doesn't really start until the late 30s, or early 40s if you're lucky. All you 'know' before then is what you've been told. Masculine behavior prior to that comes off as as toxic, because like anything else, kids try too hard. I didn't have a mother growing up, I had a stepmom and wasnt bonded to her until my mid 20s. And my father was a functional mute until he's was pissed off, so he didn't teach me anything .
You've explained a wonderful way for kids to believe their own fairy tales
Is it possible it's not age-drive but rather different time-period driven?
Wierd because women definitely get more masculine as they get older.
I'm naturally more masculine for sure, but id say I have some feminine tendencies naturally. If I had to put it into words, the framework and bedrock of me is masculine, but the ornamentation is feminine. A 70/30 split or maybe 80/20
Celebrate the patriarchy. Patriarchy built the nations.
It would be interesting to see how the age brackets looked 60 years ago or in 500 BC Sparta. Not sure if the jump in masculinity from the 1st to the 2nd is men growing into their masculinity rather than just people being born before the masculinity shaming. I think it's the second.
This is the real cost of the lgbtq nonsense and the 'toxic' masculinity shaming where the term toxic is being applied very loose.
Obviously lgbtq people shouldn't be discriminated against but it shouldn't be glorified mainstream on every TV show and on Netflix either.
07:15 Young girls are born rude and stay rude, only some boys are rude but most only become so after puberty. But still, rudeness is a feminine thing.
The thing with these graphs is that we have that many masculine older man because they didn't get brain washed. I think graphs with 65+ don't show the real picture and should be removed from this interpretation.
Alexander I’m from Perth Western Australia are there any men’s group that has fellas can sit down and talk about these issues I live in the area of Cannington.
Start one.
A men's walking group is a great idea, for example.
Please cite the study. Thank you
YouGov online poll. "Study" lmao
@@-whackd ?
As as man of 60y, I can tell you that some of the women in my youth have not been that different. They just did not have a way to tell that to million others in parallel.
Modern day attitudes and media portrayal of the male of the species have a lot to answer for.
Certainly in Australia it’s frowned upon for a guy to be masculine. It’s associated with everything wrong in the world.
Thats not only Shocking , its Sickening WTF???
Is it because older people become more comfortable with their gender or because they come from a different time where it was once accepted?
Old people are not "Cranky". Most of us don't give a fk because everytime we have invested in attempting change or help, we've paid for it some how, and it wasn't worth the effort. We are not "Cranky" nor pessimistic, we have adapted to recognizing when something is worth the effort, and when it is not, and we are quite clear on making that known so nobody tries to fk with us! ;)
Alexander Grace promoting turkesterone... great...
Interesting that, even in this discussion, the theme that women don’t have to earn their outcomes becomes apparent again.
Na never felt feminine, not into football, but was into cars and racing bikes. I never wore a pink shirt when it was in fashion about 15 years ago.
good vid, but imo that ad is questionable at least.
Men are hammered in school and work that they are not as good as females, must not compete against females, dare not say a stray word to or about females, and that all the world's problems are caused by us. Who the hell would want to be associated with that? Men walk around with an invisible shock collar never knowing when something they say or do will be taken wrongly and some female pushes the zapper button. Even at 65yo I know that appreciating the sight of a woman in over tight leggings and a sports bra can get me tossed out of the gym. Better to avert my eyes and deny my true nature. I am definitely in that 56% but I know I have to suppress who I am because of the state of our society.
Real talk. Society has brainwashed people to be so myopically focused on misogyny that they find it in places where it doesn't even exist to begin with, meanwhile misandry is right in front of our faces yet most are completely blind to it.
@Glen Clark Exactly. The first part of what you said is the feminist straw man argument. It goes like this; Masculinity is toxic, bad for everybody including yourself and in effect evil. Who would want associate themselves with that? Therefore the message is grow up accepting that masculinity is inherently bad without questioning this false assertion.
I can't see how that's an accurate chart. I myself am in the youngest age group and i know many, many guys who are 100% sure about their gender being predominantly masculine. I don't see people being unsure about that at all. That being said, I'm not from the US or the UK, so, that's that
“Old people” are also from a different generation not just more “experienced” and hence “in touch with their masculinity/femininity”.
I think a lot of the variation between young and old could be explained by the definitions of feminine and masculine: they mean very different things to different age groups. Also, to further confuse things, young people are perhaps more sensitive to admitting to end-of-spectrum identities knowing that variations of grey are more common than black and white. Also, there is less prejudice against more feminine men and more masculine women allowing for more comfort in identifying as such. I think your idea that it takes decades to decide where you lie, to accept your masculinity or femininity, is nonsense.
Side note: Men who want to gt bigger don't need steroids or supplements to get bigger. Just lift weights and eat! Great post Alexander
As an old man I can tell you I have never had any doubt that I have always been a man .
That's not progression, but a picture of multiple generations compared with each other.
But you are right...
Divinity: Original Sin :D
In muslim families boys are not discouraged from treating their mothers like crap. Even when still very young. This is why muslim men grow up to become more masculine and differentiate early from their non-muslim peers.
That treatment of mothers shows a consistency in their awful philosophy.
Also...
I love your profile picture a lot and interests. You have earned a subscription dood.
Treating mother like crap does not equate to masculinity. Muslim culture is quite feminine in many regards.
@@joseph6243 Muslim culture is so feminine that it dominates birth rates and outbreeds you in western countries. Western culture and christianity is a precursor + assisting the trend is the gayest and most feminine culture.
I was also only giving it as an extreme example. The emancipation from motherly love and being dependent on your mother happens relatively early during a muslim boy's childhood. That obviously means a lot.
I am not a muslim btw.
Maybe Alexander mentions this later, still watching, but can´t help but notice the numbers on the 7 point scale on the left, where I guess people who feel completely masculine would have to pick ZERO = RED and those completely feminine SIX = BLUE. So, the more feminine one feels, the higher the ´score´? Oh and yeah I score ZERO + RED
Great video, but those numbers aren't percents. It's an easy mistake to make because you'd have to add them up. They represent a number of people, ranging anywhere from 82 to 96 for the men.
I'm a woman and I would describe myself as having a feminine mindset but I kinda struggle with clothes cause I gravitate to just wearing sneakers and jeans everywhere I go 🤣
Haha, it's the other way around for me. I dress girly but I have a much more masculine mindset..
That's fine though a ton of guys are into that look. I know I am
To be fair, clothes matter little to a man unless it would be embarrassing to be seen with you in public. We just don't want you to be masculine once the clothes come off!
When was this graph made?
There was a major cultural shift in the last 2 decades that may change the way we should read this data
One interesting part of that graph is that once women hit the 25-49 portion, the number of women that are gender neutral or feminine goes over 90% while the men considering themselves gender neutral or masculine doesn't go over 90% until 65+.
'depressing graph' triggered me.
If you get depressed by information / truth, then you need to realize that you did not design the exterior, nor your interior and practice humility. The world is beautiful.
A lot of people still think their biology will reward them with happiness as long as they do what “nature wants them to do”. In reality, nature only rewards you with pleasure as long as it is necessary to get you to do what it wants. That’s why dopamine is related to the mere *anticipation* of reward - not so much to the reward itself.
Once you’ve done what your genes want you to do, keeping you content in that state would reduce your chances of survival by making you complacent. And thus, whatever was your greatest goal yesterday merely becomes the new status quo, the new baseline, tomorrow.
The older people grew up before hook up culture, rampant sexualization, and instant gratification.
