“You are not a real man if you do this, A Real man should / should not.., As a real man you are supposed to.., etc..there are so many conditions for to prove yourself a real man & I am sure almost all of us guys at some point of time in our lives knowingly or unknowingly did something which was not supposed to be done by a real man so by that logic we all are not the MAN! :) And here I am not talking about crimes-misconduct..just little things-shoulds imposed on men. ---Btw, conditions are also there in case of women like This is how a 'lady' should be treated (even if she is a criminal...even with a heinous crime), This is not the way to talk to a woman (even if she is a FALSE abuse/rape/dowry/molestation/child custody/alimony ACCUSER or cheats on her man), All women are beautiful... (even if she is an abuser, pedophile herself)... Thank you! Feminists (read Feminazis) for doing (for decades) exactly what you were fighting against when you began this pious revolution.”
