DFW on Masculinity

DFW on American masculinity in Good Old Neon:

>America’s culture had a uniquely brutal and alienating way of brainwashing its males from an early age into all kinds of damaging beliefs and superstitions about what being a so-called ‘real man’ was, such as competitiveness instead of concert, winning at all costs, dominating others through intelligence or will, being strong, not showing your true emotions, depending on others seeing you as a real man in order to reassure yourself of your manhood, seeing your own value solely in terms of accomplishments, being obsessed with your career or income, feeling as if you were constantly being judged or on display, etc.

Is he right bros?

>inb4 "this isn't just America" culture wars
I think he's just saying it's more pronounced here (which I agree with)

100% correct

I think so. A lot of people approach "being a man" as chasing a bunch of arbitrary criteria around. Being a man is about doing what ought to be done, and not worrying about who you are to people.

The poison that runs deep in American culture is its worship of masculinity, and it is slowly rotting away the culture.

If you want hook up culture to lose its appeal, especially among women, the culture should stop praising the people who can have multiple, short term sexual partners. Men who have multiple sexual partners are weak males who are unable to control thier desires, hence unable to lead the wife and children.

A woman is not going to care about her family if the vast majority of men value & respect the art of making money/status over their own families, since the woman desires what the man desires.

If you don't want mothers to abort, they should be given respect and honor for laying thier lives down to keep the economy afloat & saving your race.
America values selfishness, narcissism, psychopathy & machiavelliansim. It is obsessed with short term gratification.
It puts the need for status and social validation over feelings & emotional connection. It prides itself over bullying. It has abandoned spirituality and its soul to pursue wealth.

You ironically claim to value femininity but at the same time make it unsafe for feminine women to live barefoot or bear children. You make them unable to take pride in being stay at home wives. You make men seem less human if they spend more time cuddling their children. And it's not feminism's fault: women were not given any respect nor dignity for their roles as helpers, hence they only reasonably demanded means to earn more respect in socitey.

You allowed your culture to rot with your love of violence.
