[Why does pop culture want men to be sissies?]
shaun3701 - The pussification of men has been going on for decades, and it's time we put a stop to it.
pondi86 -
Case in Point: The new Bond film Quantum of Solace, which features a highly unrealistic (pseudo) strong, (pseudo) independent and (pseudo) intelligent bond girl. Most women know (even if they would never admit it) the strong, independent woman is an act put on and encouraged by man-hating feminists and women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary

highly unrealistic (pseudo) strong, (pseudo) independent and (pseudo) intelligent bond girl.
Saying pseudo over and over again doesn't make you look intelligent. It makes others wonder if you know what that word means.
"The pussification of men has been going on for decades, and it's time we put a stop to it."
He types. If you were a real man, you would be saying that through gutteral shouts and death threats scrawled on napkins and sent via snail mail, despite your badass attempts to make package as sloppy and un-mailable as possible.
Man up. Keyboards are for women, children, and the gay.
" highly unrealistic (pseudo) strong, (pseudo) independent and (pseudo) intelligent bond girl."
I just vomitted a little. Do you live in a world devoid of female athletes, politicians, entrepreneurs, and scholars, or are you just a willfully igorant asshole?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that sexy android with the heavy firepower in Jason X.

I would love to know the name of the strong, smart, independent, intellectual woman who was wise enough to kick your sorry ass to the curb and shake her hand.
"The strong, independent woman is an act"? Where is the poster FROM?
Also, how does a strong independent female connect to men being "pussified"? This doesn't even make logical sense ... why can't BOTH sexes be strong, independent, etc.?
Ideals for behavior HAVE shifted, but ... this isn't how that works. FAIL.
this really shouldn't be here,
this has nothing to do with believing in god just that women are weak.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that sexy android with the heavy firepower in Jason X ."
Sexy, and rather witty also. "I'd clap if I could."

"I can't believe someone else uses the word pussification. I though I was the only one."
Nope. I've used it occasionally, as had the late, great George Carlin.
"Most women know (even if they would never admit it) the strong, independent woman is an act put on and encouraged by man-hating feminists and women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary"
I guess you'd better tell all those single moms that their independence is just a lie told to them by penis-hating feminists.
women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary
"We decided to make her female to make her more docile."
Ben Kingsley in Species
Don't get out much, either of you?
I believe "when the west was won", women were anything but demure shrinking violets.
and their husbands were grateful for women who could clean up wounds and blood without fainting, plough, load guns, etc etc
"The pussification of men has been going on for decades, and it's time we put a stop to it."
Here is the deal, INTELLIGENT people use words to express themselves, instead of get frustrated and beat each other up. as for women "designed" to be demure and SECONDARY??!!? try telling that to Hillary Clinton or Condoleezza Rice, or any of the other very powerful very intelligent women out there. The only difference (generalization) between men and women is they can get pregnant and we cant (other sexual dimorphism's included)
And to think all dem wimmen workin in factories in WWII doing men's work including flying aircraft as delivery pilots to the airfields were just a bunch of pussies?
I too think these are two fat nerds wanting to get laid.
Treat wimmen like sex objects and you are going to marry Mrs Palm and her 5 daughters.
I am guessing their dads are also dorks

"Emma Peel would like to meet you, and she's not feeling very demure about it."
The same can be said of Rosie the Riveter, I'm fairly certain.
(FYI, if anyone's wondering, Rosie was thought to be the woman pictured flexing her right bicep in that old "We Can Do It!" WW2 poster . It's a mistake in that the original artist never called her that, but the name nonetheless seems to have stuck.)
Ohnoes, not strong, independent women! Whatever will society do without strict gender roles? Chaos I tell you, chaos!
Oh you are so getting your dick cut off! (not by me, but by any woman that reads this).
Edit: Have you ever heard of Helen Clark (former NZ PM), or (I don't know how to spell it, but you'll guess it) Benazire Bhuto?
Come over here, sunshine, and I'll demurely kick your ass!
As for the 'pussification' of men, maybe women don't want some sexist asshole who thinks he can beat up on us every time he staggers home drunk, and intelligent men (i.e. with more than one neuron to rub together) figured out that if they ever wanted to get laid again, they might want to become civilized human beings who respect the opposite sex.

@illuminatalie - because whomever said this is probably a fundie.
p.s. - i'm still mad at you for making that, "crappy black metal bands" comment the other day, you hurt my feelings. black metal rules. okay, i'll forgive you.
"Most women know (even if they would never admit it) the strong, independent woman is an act put on and encouraged by man-hating feminists and women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary."
They would never admit it, because it ain't true. How do YOU know about this information.
Also, would you really rather women be pains in the neck with names like Pussy Galore and Plenty O'Toole?
@shaun3701: Aha. Ha hah. Yeah, because there's nothing worse than being associated with icky females, even slightly. And every man is Rambo.
@pondi86: Stop saying pseudo, it makes you sound unsure of what the word means. Also, do you actually know any women, I mean, besides your mom?
I also don't see how strong, independent women make men "pussified". It's not like there's a limited amount of strength in the world.
@pondi86, seeing as you like Bond films so much (as do I):
"You are a sexist, misogynist dinosaur"
-'M' (GoldenEye)
And who played 'M' (the head of MI6) in that film, and continues to do to this day? The wonderful Dame Judi Dench. I rest my case. The equally wonderful Honor Blackman played the inital villainess, then heroine Pussy Galore in Goldfinger (and of course Cathy Gale in The Avengers); her no-nonsense & kickass style made my heart a-flutter (even to this day - phwoar! Not half!). I suspect all this 'manly' talk of yours holds a deep subliminal homoerotic tendency. Let us know when you come out of the closet, ducky. Respecting women & regarding them as equals is the way of things these days, I think you'll find. I suggest your thinking evolves to realise this, or you WILL end up like the sexist & misogynist dinosaurs: EXTINCT.
"Most women know (even if they would never admit it) the strong, independent woman is an act put on and encouraged by man-hating feminists and women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary"
Care to tell that to the nearest woman to you, Internet Tough Guy? I doubt it. Because if you did, then I suspect your mother would drag your sorry arse out of that basement, give you the beating of your life, smash up your computer, then throw you out of the house and disown you. So go on. What's stopping you? Are you MAN enough?
DO IT FAGGOT.
I know some very feminine women who could hand these two losers their testicles if either of them acted like total assholes around them.
When are idiots like you going to get it through your head that the age of the manly-man bully motherfucker asshole are over and done with?
We don't need more of them, we need less, especially in charge of countries.
"Most women know (even if they would never admit it) the strong, independent woman is an act put on and encouraged by man-hating feminists and women by design and nature are generally demure, secondary."
Diana, Athena, and I say you're full of shit. Strong, independent, intelligent women have been a part of the mythology for MILLENIA, and I'm pretty sure the concept didn't just spring up out of thin air. The reason you haven't gotten the tar beaten out of you by angry women yet is because we're intelligent enough to realize that it's not worth our time.
OH NOES!!! NOT THE WOMANS!!!!!
Okay pondi86, lets put you in a ring with a woman pro wrestler (like China) and see how long you last.
I'm quite sure any sane, reasonable man (you know, the men who are SECURE in their sexuality ;)) will laugh you in the face.
Give it up. NO ONE has to listen and obey your sexist ideals ANY LONGER. Not only are fucktards like you two degrading women and compartmentalizing them into neat little housewife cubbies, you're also declaring that your ideal for MEN is the "true" ideal.
Thank the FSM that TRUE men aren't afraid to be themselves; 'men' like you can go fuck yourselves, 'cause no self-respecting woman ever would.
I dare you to say that to my sixty year old single mother of two.
I will cheer as she breaks your bones into a thin powder. Or not, as she isn't a savage. She will probably just laugh herself stupid.
Except that I am, by nature, stubborn, sarcastic, intelligent, and independent... and I'm a woman. REAL women refuse to be doormats.
Man, I just saw Quantum of Solace, and if that's his idea of an unrealistically strong, independent and intelligent woman, his standards are through the basement. She does help fight the bad guys at the end, but almost any previous Bond girl of the last 30 years could kick her ass.
And, yeah, still not sure how strong women make men weak. Daniel Craig is not what you'd call one of the wimpier Bonds.
"The new Bond film Quantum of Solace, which features a highly unrealistic (pseudo) strong, (pseudo) independent and (pseudo) intelligent bond girl."
OH MY GOD! AN INDEPENDENT FEMALE CHARACTER IN A MOVIE! A JAMES BOND MOVIE TOO! WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO WHEN A BOND GIRL ISN'T JUST THERE TO HAVE SEX WITH BOND?
I have a feeling that this man is going to despise the first two Alien movies. Especially Aliens.
That Ellen Ripley should just get back in the kitchen making those Aliens a sandwich and shitting out babies.
If men are insecure in front of a strong woman, you have the answer. By the way, carrying children to the world, for nature, is anything but secondary.

backsackandcrack3701 and poncey86 here would have aneurysms, if they read/saw the manga/anime "Loveless" then. As in this yaoi story, cat ears symbolise virginity. (an intriguing romance story, though, I can recommend it). Also:
