The men's movement needs 2 redefine manhood in our favor

Who is "they"?

[funkybruiser]

Nice video. Unlike other MRA videos on youtube, you are less accusatory and more problem solving oriented. no blaming or name calling. I like your ideas. Our western society is caught up in consumerism and we need to get away from that and work together to make the world a better place to live.

[tribalstudy]

Then you have these self absorbed, self riteous, self serving women who are blatently disrespectful and like to play mind games. I don't like my emotions played with, people should have self confidence, but chicks who go from guy to guy getting all they can until they have an ontorage of swinging dicks that they use for sex and money and whatever else they can get; just isn't right. As a man I see a lot of this and I wish women wouldn't do this to us. No one plays fair or sticks together anymore

[tribalstudy]

I don't like how when a man is faithful, wants to love and be loved. Somehow it becomes about how much more he should do financially, of get a second job; when he already works hard but gets it thrown up to him that its not enough. Then they make you fell like they could do better, than you, like they might start looking somewhere else. Also, how many women get taken to court and have to pay child support or alomony, compared to men. I know so many men who aren't treated right by their women.

[tribalstudy]

Let me make something clear, I have never hit a woman. I wasn't raised that way. I don't support that behavior. My Mother is an educated women she has four college degrees, she raised us to do are share of the chores and tried to make it fair for all in the household. I meet women with lazy kids, that won't lift a finger. Its all about video games and TV. The mothers of these kids don't provide any structure and most are just as lazy, the man should contribute, but not have to do it all.

You need to understand what manhood means before you speak about it: Manhood101 . com

[tribalstudy]

Men still have to do hard labor jobs more so than women, that's one thing that hasn't changed. Women of this generation also try to manipulate 75% of the money in the household. Most women where expensive clothes, jewelry, and are more concerned with how they look in public, than what is best for "everyone" how lives in a household. I agree that women like to verbally argue with men and cause way more drama than they should, because they can. They even tend to be more physically agressive too.

@tribalstudy Really, well maybe you should visit the guy next door to me who beat up his wife a couple of weeks ago. For about half-an-hour, I thought I was hearing a faraway thunderstorm because it sounded that way, but then later learned that he was beating her, probably throwing her against the wall. Another neighbor told me what he saw but did not call the cops. If I knew about that I would have called the cops myself. Also, the idiot does not work and don't plan to.

[bklynAtrain]

@tribalstudy The wife beater is a strong looking guy, and should be working, but I guess hard labor work is out of the question for that coward. I am against domestic violence, whether the victim is male or female. To say that most women wear expensive clothing and more concerned about themselves than the household is crazy. Almost every woman I know does the exact opposite. They put their families before jewelry or whatever. Is there anything positive you can say about them?

[bklynAtrain]

@tribalstudy See, I was raised by my mother because my father took up and abandoned us. He wanted to be free and do what he wanted to do. We struggled throughout our lives, but my mother made sure we had food on the table, clean clothes on our backs, and a roof over a head. Raising 6 kids on your own is not an easy task, but possible. I sincerely believe that children need both parents. Where I grew up men were known to leave and never come back, but I know not all men are like that.

[TheHappyMisogynist]

This video 100% unadulterated TRUTH. Subbing.

[Smackbox]

Actually choosing to be a father is not within most mens ability, nor is choosing to not be a father. Men are being tricked both in to fatherhood as well as out of it, by women. The lack of reproductive rights, but full responsibility is a big problem that affects your whole outlook on life as a man and is a weakness that spreads disrespect for every man.

[rexxthunder]

This is a great video! Many women, not all, seem to think that it's their right to scorn a man for not wanting to be in this role. That's no different than me telling a woman to get her ass back into the kitchen! I woundn't do that. A woman has just as much right to freedom of lifestyle as we do. But where is the respect in reverse. Do they not know that this hurts us? I think many gals don't realize they stepped over the line of fairness that they drew themselves.

[polutc]

Great vid.

[maxluxur01]

If men in America decided to redefine themselves different than the men that the media has created, this weak kneed, border lined homo, work alcoholic, chump, than you had better believe the FBI would take interest in who started that redefinition of the man. These men of today are afraid to stand up for themselves and the ones who aren't are broke and bogged down with every day bs...

[proudguy]

Brilliant!

These are exactly the things I have been thinking, but you are able to tell it in a such a clear and simple way.

If men are determined to work 70 hours/week and can't help with the Men's Movement, then they should at least donate some money. We are more than work machines.

P.S. I was called gay, because I wear shorts that do not extend to my knees. What the heck is that all about?

[onexiv]

you speak alot of truth in this piece; more power

[roppokai1]

TRUE THAT CARNAL.......

[myjrpics]

Im a woman so I dont know if im allowed to comment here but I will anyway.

Have you ever noticed that the men that women find the most fascinating are the men who do define themselves and take there own paths? Did the most influential men put everyone elses beliefs before his own? I personally think that if more men did this not only would they find their relations with women more rewarding but also their relations in regards to friendships with other men.

[myjrpics]

Continue.

The only thing that concerns me is the asshole behavior im noticing some men are trying to slip into the mens right movement. When reading comments on other pages I cant help but notice that some men want to perpetuate this idea that all females are evil and the best way to handle them is to be as big as jerk as possible or some other awful statement. These are the ones that usually get the most thumbs up too.

[myjrpics]

Continue.

I guess the best way to sum this up is to tell you guys NOT to make the same mistake that the feminist movement did. It started out well meaning and much needed cause until the femme Nazis with an axe to grind infiltrated and fudged everything up. They were Man haters or thought it was ok to act as un feminine as possible and men should still find them attractive.

[myjrpics]

Conclusion

Just remember guys, hate will be the undoing of your movement and while you have the right to behave the way you want it never hurts to be a gentlemen.

Good luck with the movement.

[rubikskub1983]

Excellent points. A mens movement should not be about creating antagonism between men and women. But this video is offering some good points. Men should more often make choices in life that make them happier than others. Instead of studying engineering study english litterature and become a teacher. If that is your thing, that is. Forget about the whole idea of being the main provider of the family and all that. Men and women share that responsibility. That is true equality!

[thecreepyguy]

I agree, the men's movement doesnt need to define what a man is, MEN DO! and women would respect them for it aswell.

They will also look at men as more individuals and less disposable.

[karlsmith00]

you don't know if you're allowed to comment because you're a woman? good lord. you can comment anywhere you want, especially on videos made by loser guys

[JazzyZenBrotha]

Excellent video my brotha

[Silkravage]

The main problem is that alot of men let WOMEN define what manhood is. Anytime you let someone else define who you are you will be in bad situations. First they can only define themselves, they can only say what they 'think' you should be.. Secondly the person you let define you will exploit you sooner or later because of that power. Aother man will be able to give you a better definition than any woman ever could. Cats can't define dogs, the judgment and penalty system is different...

[CreeWilly]

Interesting what u say, about letting women define manhood. i, too, believe we can define ourselves. the problem is that since a lot of us are raised by single women, the primary authority on manhood (or even life in general) tends to be our mothers. so for a lot of men, as illogical as this may sound, it doesnt seem too foreign to adopt a womans variation on manhood. because of this, when some men speak to women even place higher value on them when they are told......

[CreeWilly]

cont'd...... to be a man or how to be a man. this is because we will associate THAT with being a strong woman (cos after all, didnt my mother have that same mentality?) me and my dumb self..... i had fallen into that trap plenty of times myself in the past. but in short, i dont neccessarily think that men have just LET women define them. more like, men consider female authority the norm in terms defining manhood. cos usually, thats all we (single parent raised men) know.

[cjjaxxon]

@Silkravage You're on point. I have older men friends who believe that a woman should define what a man is. I nod my head in total disagreement because of the mindset of women these days. I can't define what a woman is. I can tell you what I THINK a woman should be.

[SavMacCauley]

This was an EXCELLENT video!--and I watch alot of video blogs on YouTube.

The ideas that you expressed are along the lines of Ayn Rand's philosophy that men should act in their own "enlightened self interest" regardless of what society may wish for their lives.

You might want to check out Ayn Rand's "the Virtue of Selfishness." It revolutionized my thinking about a number of subjects--including love and marriage.

[pinkkelephant]

im going to do that. thanks.

[ayers01]

Growing up now adays, with so many of us without a positive male role model,it's basically a sink or swim mentallity. And too many of us(men) are sinking fast due to lack of knowledge.

We(as men) need to be willing to learn from other men's past experiences and situations. And not to be quick to insult, or cut them off when speaking. You'll be surprised at what you can gain by talking to them.

Just as we can learn from what TO do, we also can learn from what NOT to do.

[pinkkelephant]

Amen

[sinistavoicez]

You make a whole lot of great arguements

[DwayneHollowayTV]

You make a whole lot of great arguements. Job well done and keep up the great work in your video makings.
