Historically, traditional masculinity comes with a heteronormative assumption, which “may ostracize some gay, bisexual, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals from an inherent sense of male identity ... Men from marginalized groups, including ethnic minorities, are also often targets of additional stereotypes - yes, it's true that traditional masculinity regards homosexuality as weird.

Any idea of what percentage of the population this applies to?

so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

men should be less masculine.

Like most guys I've always regarded myself as an alpha male and all other fellas as merely aspiring alpha males.

Maybe more attention should be paid as to how women treat each other. Ask any man with an attractive woman partner how often he's had other women slyly rubbishing her when she's absent. Thankfully this tends to tail off in later years as they become less hormone driven, but women of 20 or 30 something can be quite horrible to their own kind. Sorry to the girls who don't do that, but a lot of girls can't resist the chance to flirt with a guy who's happy with what he's got.

What Are Your Rights?

by Simon in

rights seem to be everywhere nowadays.

say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.

people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

This from Freeths, a UK firm of solicitors specialising in law regarding public houses:

Right to refuse entry

The age-old right of a licensee to refuse entry to whomever he wishes still remains and a landlord is not obliged to serve anyone just because they are willing to pay. A pub is a private place and the landlord can make the rules. HOWEVER, when deciding who to permit entry to or who to serve, a licensee must not make his judgement based on prejudice. Entry must not be refused unlawfully and equality legislation makes it unlawful to refuse entry on the grounds of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation and disability amongst other reasons.
