Hi Zeta & ZCNation!


I do believe feminism has impacted masculinity. Feminism is the “advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of sexes”. For generations including today masculinity is defined by power and money. Men have been nurtured to be Providers and Security. An emotional connection wasn’t always available.

It is a fact that black women specifically are financially outpacing their black male counterparts (masculine energy). Many woman don’t NEED a man but WANT an emotional connection. These relationships generate a different balance. There is a level of security within a man that has to exist within this imbalance and not feel emasculated (not believing they are worthy because the are not the Provider).

Also, I find…

Oof I'm kind of split on my opinion of this, as I'm in the mindset of breaking traditions. But at the same time, some traditions of what a relationship is "supposed" to be, are stuck on me. It'll be 10 years of being with my partner, and I say partner because I refuse to get married for several reasons. Like coming from divorced parents is my biggest fear, like being convinced it will happen. But also, I just can't fathom spending the time and money on a traditional wedding. I don't understand the nuances of all the "rules" that are involved in planning one and getting scammed out of a bunch of money to even have the damn thing lol…

Valid point. Positive aspects of traditional masculinity are still very attractive. It's very possible to have a combination of the traditional and modern aspect of it. Men being in touch with their femininity shouldn't take away from their masculinity. It should create a healthy balance for them to function normally. The same applies to women. I wish you the Best!

Hi Z and ZCNation,

This is a great topic, can be a 'hot potato' too because Feminism and Masculinity have been interpreted and/or (mis)understood in many ways.


I agree with what Shay and Sarah have said so I'll not repeat the points.


On the issue of reciprocating gestures and respect in a relationship, to me, is a matter of common sense. I don't think it has much to do with masculinity. The phrase "if they wanted to they would" while simplistic, comes to mind. I believe one can go out of their comfort zone for someone they like or value. We're products of our environments (family, school, social media etc) but we can unlearn, learn and relearn if we truly…

Hey y'all! Z, what do you mean by “men and women are not created equal”. I believe we’re created different but equal. The rise of feminism has nothing to do with a lack of masculinity in the dating arena, in my opinion. I'd like to know why you think feminism has anything to do with a lack of masculinity and what feminism means to you. What feminism has done is shine a light on masculinity. It deconstructs TOXIC MASCULINITY. NOT masculinity. Feminism is not against the positive traits of the traditional concept of masculinity. Toxic masculinity centers men. It’s a belief that men are superior to women, something you've upheld by stating we're not equals. If anything, feminism benefits everyone. Men are letting g…

That statement is not meant to take away from women at all. I'm taking everyone's perspective into consideration to be fair. I'm acknowledging that men don't have it easy either. I'm not giving them a pass but rather factoring in a perspective from men's pov. I attached a link but realised it cannot open but if you can, please go to www.priorygroup.com and select the article (40% of men won't talk about their mental health). They've done a better job explaining than I would although this may vary by region but it's a glimpse into men's world. Z asked if the lack of masculinity in men has a correlation to the rise in feminism. I answered no because in my…
