Selflessness is a good and masculine trait. I don't understand how this is a bad thing.
Quoting: GLP Effect It is about the rearrangement of male priorities.
It's changing the focus away from being a leader, protector, provider, family man, etc. Traditional males attributes.
Quoting: Trained Noticer These were exactly the attributes and priorities my ex attacked me for upholding.
Including denial of self.
Accepting responsibility is a normal part of being a man.
With it came rewards.
Currently those rewards are not worth the risk when a life's work can be legally be stolen.
I don't blame them at all for this response, which does not come from any "normal" threat which can be dealt with.
It's a psychological threat from legal and social bias against men.
Not only do they not become masculine in nature, they don't become MATURE.
In Ireland, a man was called a boy until he got married, no matter if he dies at 90 unmarried, still a boy.
Again, I don't blame them for not gambling, this game is rigged, and the house always wins anyway.
Odds are so bad now that it takes quite a fool to make that bet.
It's not even gambling anymore... it's signing up for future financial slaughter.
