Why Are Progressive Men Intimidated By Conservative Women?

Is it because they are projecting what non-feminized men are supposed to be projecting? Strength and self-sufficiency? Being a man and crying about the need for a big Government to take of them seems pretty feminine. Aren't men supposed to be strong?

 

Progressives view women as a group that is always being oppressed, therefore they feel intimidated when a woman doesn't tow the Democratic line. The same could be said of blacks and gays who vote Republican.

As for the main question, conservatives tend to give off a strong and independent image, so liberal men and women alike feel threatened.

 

That's a good point. It seems like they believe they own certain groups and when one of them defects, they are to be made an example of in order to dissuade others from following their example.

 

I'm really sorry to hear you feel that way, and I'm crushed that you won't be joining us in the discussion.

 

Personally I dig shy, softspoken chicks. I did when I was a Socialist, I do now that I'm an NAP Libertarian. It doesn't have anything to do with politics, I figure it's a result of upbringing: everyone's different. This thread must be a joke, surely. Nobody restricts themselves from going out with someone just because they don't conform to their political view of opposite sex.

As much as I agree with you that the left does demand entitlements from the government - they don't think this way. The majority of Progressives I've known just want a social safety net. Call it what you like, but it's not like they want everybody to be getting a $50k salary from the government. Their position is more nuanced.


Moreover, why do you care if guys are moving towards a less masculine image? It's their life. They can do what they want. The modern man can be very masculine. A large (and growing) number of inner city types are into working out, fishing, watching/playing sports, etc. In the past 10 years or so I'd say urban culture has started to become more masculine, not less.

Sites like these are everywhere these days. They're realizing that you can still be Don Draper cool in the modern age.

 

I agree with you on the last part. I don't have a problem with feminine men or masculine women. I think Brewskier's point was that progressive men seem to be afraid of conservative women, when they shouldn't be afraid of them.

 

Who is the guy in the picture? Is that a liberal man?

Why shouldnt they be afraid of them?

Conservative women are just like conservative men, ignorant molly coddled blowhards with an outrage button malfunction. Example, Michelle Bachmann.....strong independent conservative woman...also a complete cross eyed moron.

 

The person in the picture is a scene girl.

As for being afraid, I don't see why people should be afraid of conservative women. Aren't women allowed to not be democrats?

Michelle Bachmann is crazy. I wouldn't place her high on the conservative pedestal in the first place. She doesn't represent all conservative women.

 

Conservative and neo-conservative women are to be pitied. They want respect, but understand it is unattainable. To demand respect from conservative and neo-conservative men challenges the conservative and neo-conservative doctrines, and makes women outcasts of their right wing world. Kelly and Van Susteren will soon learn this lesson.

Men of this repressive political philosophy lack confidence in their sexual identities, and only permit women to pretend they are powerful by forcing them spout the "men are dominant" precept if they want to join in the game of politics.

It is this same sexual uncertainty that makes conservative and neo-conservative men homophobic, and drives them to oppress women and limit women’s rights of all kinds.

This puts conservative and neo-conservative women in a state to be pitied, and shows the conservative and neo-conservative men that put them there to be the cowardly weaklings they truly are.

 

Lol...Sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place, eh?
Trying to be an androgynous male in a clan of misogynists and intolerant bigots is no party.

 

You are almost there.

The answer is no, women are not allowed to betray the democrats. They can be apolitical, and Progressive-Leftists usually wont put them on their (*)(*)(*)(*)list. But if they get involved and even think about registering anything but democrats then its too bad they have to be stupid masochist dimwits working against their own interests.

Being a conservative is for men, who are old, and white. If anyone outside these demographics even thinks of joining the old white dudes then its because they are retarded, crazy, bible thumpers or all three, and you will constantly be reminded of this well known truth among Progressive-Leftist circles.

 

That's why I'm a Libertarian. I find both parties to be misguided and extremely partisan.

I have progressive views on gender and sexuality, but not much else.

 

Lol...Of course you are.
And yet, every time I see you, you are in bed with the cons.

 

How strange the ultracon mindset reveals itself to be.

 

Awww, someone's mad not everybody is as much of Democrat Party cheerleader as he is

 

What types of issues do you see me siding with the "cons" on?

 

You mean the circle jerk of stupidity, where conservatives make up fake stereotypes and then give pseudo-pscyhological explanations for this imaginary mentality?

 

Well I didnt mean your avatar, but whatever, conservatism itself is a praxis on the keeping and retaining of power by social elites. That itself is a scary prospect, it makes conservative people men and women dangerous.

The implication of this thread is that its conservative womans strenght and independence that would scare a liberal man. That is not it at all.

We like and admire strength and independence, we liberals have freed every social group throughout history.

Its their conservatism we fear. Further I myself do not like to see such beautiful flowers despoiled by the wilful ignorance of conservatism.

 

SO?

Whats wrong with that? You, as conservatives ARE retarded, crazy bible thumpers. How can we think anything else of you?

Your positions historically on various issues demonstrates this. As well as the crazy retarded things you say. I will detail these if asked.

 

My bad. I thought you meant my avatar. As for the guy in the OP, I think it's just a guy who hangs around too many coffee shops.

 

How about this one? That liberal men are afraid of conservative women?

 

That's actually more of a bipartisan opinion for me. I'm not a manly guy at all, and most people would brand me as a liberal due to my appearance, yet most of my friends are either Independents or Conservatives. Only one or two would describe themselves as Leftists. I feel like liberals cast conservatives as these scary guys who want to oppress them at every turn. I think it's more of a projection issue.

I know personal experience isn't everything, but my experience with conservatives has generally been positive. Most actually accept my "androgyny," if you will.

 

Firstly AM, I really enjoy decent and coonsidered tone of your writing. You indeed are more conservative than me but then again there is little wrong with libertarianism and wanting to see fiscal responsibility in public life.

Like Democrats, the Libertarians are true and decent Americans.

I suspect your friends are less conservative than they are simply normal people with some reactionary views.

 

Personally, I am not intimidated by conservative women....I simply find many unpleasant to be around, and generally unable to engage in deep conversation.

As for those who represent the conservative in Politics/Media, I prefer a more demure and "Soft" persona.

 

I didn’t know progressive men were intimidated conservative women. I am a poster boy for a liberal progressive and happen to like conservative women, especially Mrs Palin!

No really in all seriousness,…Ahhh’, maybe I shouldn’t say this..Ok here goes;

I think liberal progressive men are just not attracted to a woman that has more strength of character, moral fortitude, and maybe intelligence than they can muster. Oh my, well smak’ my face honey, I do believe that!

So to summarize, I wouldn’t worry about it if I were a progressive or a conservative man or women, God loves all of us and I am trying to. We should look closely at all political candidates, even their personal preferences etc, however the politicization of every nuance and every thought of politicians should go the way of T Rex.
