21st century men feel emasculated by modern women
Washington, March 26 (ANI): Many men have started to feel that women dominate the world these days, and that they have lost their role in society, according to a new online survey.

Such a belief is fuelling feelings of depression and being undervalued amongst men, suggest the findings of the survey commissioned by DMAX, an entertainment television channel from Discovery Networks.

Upon being asked during the survey what it meant to be a man in the 21st century, more than 50 per cent said that society was turning them into “waxed and coiffed metrosexuals”.

Fifty-two per cent of the men surveyed said that they had to live according to women’s rules.

1. That defines me
Thankfully, I control my robot wife, and don't have to deal with that at home.

3. The Matriarchy has forced me to sit when I use the bathroom!
Of course, that may just be due to all the books I keep in there...

5. "According to the survey,"
men hold other men who speak their mind in high regard - the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, Jeremy Paxman, Bob Geldof and Gordon Ramsay. Their biggest hero is Churchill.

But four out of 10 are frightened of heights and spiders while a third are frightened of bossy women.


So, what's new here?

:rofl:

9. I just asked my wife how I feel about this, and...
...she informs me that I do not feel emasculated in any way. Indeed, she assures me, I feel empowered by her strength and forthrightness, and am in no way diminished by same. I am also never to bring up the topic again, or else.

15. That is just the Tory Telegraph
That paper supports the UK Conservative Party, which is the sister party of the GOP in Britain.
