> "Within the context of our feelings- and verbal-focused culture"

This is true, and happens in most of the West. Ever wondered why? My answer is that our culture has become feminized (mostly through feminist influence). What I mean is:

- Everything that is female-typical, or appreciated by women, is considered good.

- Most things that are masculine, or enjoyed by men, is received with skepticism or disdain – because it doesn’t conform to the female ideal.

Examples:

- Women like endless talking, especially about feelings; therefore, now we have a “feelings- and verbal-focused culture”. Nowadays, men should appreciate endless talking, and if they do not they are considered wrong, uncaring or egoist.

- Men like sex a lot, and they would like having sex with many young hot women (unless they’re in love with one). This has always been true, and for centuries nobody batted an eye about that (I mean, Doh! Is the Pope catholic?). Nowadays, though, if a man says that out loud he’s a pig and an asshole.

Until 50 years ago, any reasonable person would have thought that – on average – women have certain needs and preferences, and men have others. Fine, one size does NOT fits all. If a man and a woman have different needs, well, let’s talk about it.

After 50 years of feminist propaganda, instead, female needs and behaviors are considered good or “normal”. Anything else is considered bad or wrong. Men and women’s differences are even often denied by feminist or “woke” types. Hence:

- If a woman wants something and the man doesn’t, he’s an egotist or an asshole.

- If a man wants something and she doesn’t, she is in the right and he should not complain. Talk about double standards…

NB: I don’t mean this happens all the time, but I see it happening quite often, even among psychology professionals. DPM is among the few therapists saying out loud that male and female needs can be different.
