What are some ways someone can insult a guy's masculinity

Question

Like what are some things that can be said that a guy would consider an insult to his masculinity I need it for a paper I'm doing

Answer 1

Masculinity is kind of subjective based on the individual and their culture. For example, chastity and sexual activity are both considered masculine based on the culture. So you may need to do a bit of research for a partiular individual. However, generally if you want to do damage find something he is particularly sensitive about and compare him to other guys. Some typical ones are physical fitness, sexual experience, sexual attractiveness, and especially athletic ability and being able to provide for his family. I'm glad you are writing this paper. Typically our culture focuses on self-esteem issues in girls (especially how models turn girls anorexic) but it is just as prevalent in males. Especially in recent years because of a lack father figures to be a good rolemodel and mentor for masculinity for their boys. Also don't forget to mention the positive side of gender roles. Many people today see people with inferiority complexes about their gender and assume that masculine stereotypes do nothing but harm and a result try to erase gender roles. But a relatively small percentage feel notably insecure compared to those who don't. Gender roles aren't necessarily harmful; for the people who don't feel insecure, gender roles can provide a sense of belonging, identity, and achievement, not to mention it can benefit society. Besides, it's impossible to try and eliminate gender stereotypes from society because they are ingrained into our psychology and even our biology through evolution.

Thanks for drawing attention to this important issue. Good luck with your paper.

Answer 2

i think most guys don't like when people say that they have a small one, or cannot satisfy their partner.

Answer 3

Instead of insulting his masculinity, why not wittily insult his level of intelligence? If an insult makes you look smart, than it is successful.

Answer 4

lets look at this from a different view point.

instead of insulting them, why not give constructive criticism?

for example you could write

"there is no need for men to be as masculine as they believe they should for a number of reasons....." (you list the reasons)

it is never smart to attack someone..even if its in writing

Answer 5

I'm more of a woman than you'll ever have and more of a man than you'll ever be,cluck!

(That should upset him).

Answer 6

There are so many ways!!!! It really depends on the guy,

Some of them are:

- making reference to his physic (not strong, not athletic, etc)

-lack of financial success or ambition

-Sexual performance

- Poor character, not being brave, lack of courage

-etc

but they don’t really apply to all men.

However, the one that usually (not always) affects us all is:

bringing up the subject of the penis’s size: that is a major one: you’ll be insulting him, embarrassing him, bringing down his self esteem, etc,etc,etc,  it could be a cruel comment, but it will not always work, particularly when the guy is well-endowed.
