Discussion about men and society? Anonymous 259143

Here’s something I’ve written down from various sources I’ve seen. Not that all of it applies to my personal view.
Men are emotionally attracted to other men.
Straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they desire, respect, adore, honor, imitate, and idolize, are inherently other men. Current day misogyny is rooted from societal standards. Men being taught to never show emotion, as it could make them seen as weak like women are. Without misogyny, men would feel as if they do not have the power they’ve always owned. So to grasp every feeling of superiority is to dehumanize a woman.
Men are allowed to say things that a woman would be labeled emotional or angry for. It’s as if they have more freedom of speech in society than someone who is deemed ‘weaker’ than them. LGBTQ+ has always been seen as feminine and girlish, as stereotypes and mockery of gay men were exaggerated and called sissies. Gay men can in fact be feminine, but why do they get mocked for being so feminine? Because societal standards have narrowed it down to looking as weak as a woman?
Feminism is harshly looked down upon, as even women are deep-rooted to view other women as unintelligent. Constant reminders of compared physical strength will state that.
In truth, society has wired both genders socially. Women are taught to be more empathetic, as men are not. Men are taught to bottle up their emotions, being aggressive and asserting dominance towards the empathetic weak.

Women express their emotion more outwardly, due to having more estrogen and men having more testosterone. Having this uncontrollable emotion can be blinding, clouding the vision to think logically and make decisions.
