Hillary Clinton and Precarious Manhood Theory

Post Reply New Topic

Your "because vagina" reference to women is simplistic and insulting. Women are a lot more than their genitals. And the differences between men and women are psychological as much as physical.

"Put her in jail" is just one example of the vitriol against her.

This is a paranoid delusion. I have never, here or elsewhere, heard anyone espouse this view. Literally never.

You appear to be utterly confused. I'm condemning the practice, not endorsing it.



I'll repeat the question you've ignored. How is it misogynistic?



My experience and perceptions don't match yours so I must be mentally ill? Fantastic display of ignorant bigotry.

Don't play games.


I'll repeat my answer: the level of vitriol against HRC seems to be more than usual. I"m asking if this is because her gender is threatening.

You know as well as I do I was not referring to solely the US.
I like to think a woman president will be elected some time soon (next 4-8 years). But I don't trust Hillary and evidently a lot of others don't either, or her judgement on foreign policy. Her Sec of state record isn't good.

Correcting your mistake is not playing games. If you don't understand me in future, I'd appreciate if you sought clarification rather than resorting to ignorant accusations.



You're quick to make accusations of game-playing, but you can't answer a simple question. How is "put her in jail" misogynistic? How does the "vitriol" Clinton is receiving compare to the vitriol aimed at the only other human being we can currently reasonably compare her to: Donald Trump?

As far as I know, no one has threatened to jail Trump, or burn him at the stake (Even CNN pundit Michael Smerconish made the connection to the grim 17th century legal proceedings..)

Most of the answers to my original question have been that there is something to this Precarious Manhood Theory. It only makes sense that things would be unclear as the gender roles have only so recently changed.

I see a built-in assumption; what if my manhood is unconditional.

There has been an immense amount of vitriol aimed at both candidates, from all kinds of angles. They're prominent figures who are currently centre stage. You still have not demonstrated misogyny.



The plural of "opinion" is not "evidence". Give me an example of someone who is against Hillary specifically because she's a woman.

They think it's an example of misogyny, to say that men and women biologically-predisposed, for different purposes, in which case, taking orders from her is emasculating. If that's misogyny, I'll be the misogynist.

But, not just rhetorically.

I will put resources on the line, to circumvent and undermine feminism, not just mansplain, all day.

Not necessary. Feminists are doing a stellar job of undermining feminism already.

There is talk of people, giving sacrificially, in times of war, or for academic purposes, to win a world record, etc.

The same philosophy can be applied to everyday social, interactions.

Without being terroristic, or a sadist, per se, or playing the martyr, I find that change agents do have a sixth sense about people who will actually follow through.

We complain about the bar getting ever lower, but why must talk be cheap.

There are goods, services, and venues, which I will not support. I put friendships on the line, risk my health and finances, in resistance to social engineering. I can be dignified about it but have lost all respect, a long time ago. It doesn't mean that I'm going to get into a yelling contest or hurt anyone, necessarily. But, the fear is gone.

So are you saying that you would find taking orders from a female boss emasculating?

Yes.

But, look up. Has the sky fallen.

Trump's women are allegedly the highest paid, in their industries. They are bedecked in gold, and live in gold-plated accommodations, while the sole, male breadwinner, as head of household, is no longer part of the social contract. In action, doesn't he place those women on a pedestal?

Thank you for your honesty. Can you explain why you feel this way? What's obvious to you is not to me.
