If women don't like sexism, why do many women reward it?
Q. For decades, our culture has decried sexism. Most people nowadays accept this and view sexism as bad, but sexism has not gone away. 1) A small portion of men are still VERY sexist. The most sexist guys are the ones with good looks, money and/or power. ie. the popular guys who develop huge egos and machismo to match. Somehow being sexist doesn't stop women from flocking to these men. Tucker Max comes to mind, but also phenomenon like Girls Gone Wild. These type of guys enjoy degrading and humiliating women, and they are rewarded in our culture with money, fame, and women. 2) The double standard of slut/stud is also alive and well, and perhaps worse now. Decades of feminism has not made it go away. On the contrary, women seem to be voting… [cont.]

A. Ive noticed this a lot. Women don't want to be trapped in a gender role and even if its superficial mainstream culture for the last thirty years has celebrated tomboys and created female action heroes lawyers ect. And women are slowly but surely climbing the ladder of traditional male environments like politics and business. But for men to act outside of male stereotypes thats not cool and it is oftentimes women who are pointing and laughing and calling men wusses or declaring them undateable. Its womens opinions that matter most for young single teenage boys and men anyway, even if they don't admit it. As long as the sexist/arrogant dominating and disrespectful type of man is rewarded he will continue to act that way and other men will… [cont.]

19 year old male and still a virgin?
Q. As the title says, I'm 19, in college, and still a virgin. I haven't even so much as kissed a girl. I'm wondering if I'll ever be with someone. I was just thinking if it hasn't happened now, it won't happen. Usually, people get signs of interest and approval by the opposite sex in the middle teens. I'm about to be 20 and I haven't done any of these things. My friends have "done things" with the opposite sex and I haven't. I feel like I'm missing out or that I something's wrong with me. My friend says I need to be a douchebag to get girls because girls don't like guys like me. He said I need to try and very aggressive when talking to them and assert that I am male or else they will look at me as an asexual object. He said "fri [cont.]

A. Hey I'm in a similar situation...19 years old, currently single, and still a virgin. And I'm proud to be that way! Later in life when everyone who's now sleeping around with strangers settles down, they'll regret their decisions. I have three friends who are already regretting the decisions they made in their freshman year of college! Virginity is something to cherish-- you shouldn't want to give it away just to give it away. Give it to a girl who matters. A special girl. Cause they ARE out there. It's good to know there's guys like you out there. Love is patient, love is kind. TRUE love always takes some time. Keep an eye out for your Mrs. Right! She's out there somewhere. Good luck!

A. Do you have any idea how much you have going for you right now?

Hypermasculinity is a psychological term for the exaggeration of male stereotypical behavior, such as an emphasis on physical strength, aggression, body hair, body odor, and virility. This term can be pejorative, though it is also used when examining the behavior (as adaptive or maladaptive) dispassionately.
