Is Whining about Feminism the least Manly Attribute of Today's American Men?

Thanks! That is all I was looking for.
I'd say the men who deny or downplay the very real issues men face in a pretense of egalitarian enlightenment give whiners a run for their money. The ones who seem to be apologetic of being male.
Only because whiners are a little closer to moving towards solving the problems... which is what Real Men(TM) do... solve problems.(and Real Women(TM) too)
For the record, everything I've heard out of the MRM(I've never visited a website, just heard some radio and some T.V. talks) in regards to actual things to improve man's situation has been reasonable... things like protecting men's parental rights and treating spousal abuse and rape of men as the serious issues they are.

Since I have provided some examples of what I was referring to, do you think you would mind doing the same?
For the record? I'm not even sure what the question has to do the OP.

Not saying that I'm a big fan of YouTube anythings, but could you quote what exactly is the whine?
I'm not sure where I said whining...

So what is it suppose to be an example of?
Apologizing for being male... like I said...

Oh, I see.
"Apologizing for being a male," as you see it, would be less manly than whining about feminism? Is that right?

They were apologizing for being male?
I think it pretty darn close if not, as I said in my first post. I'd call it a photo finish.
I'm assuming you didn't watch it? Yes, also being white and heterosexual.

Isn't feminism supposed be against concepts like "manly"?

...and that's what I get for not reading the first page of discussion.

I am personally not against a man or a woman acting manly or womanly or somewhere in between. What I call in to question is the imposition that society levels at us as to what it means to be manly or womanly.

Apparently, the two are diametrically opposed.
I think there's something to be said for manliness -- if and when the concept is understood to refer to a psychologically functional, socially and environmentally responsible adult male. But I have reservations about most of the people I've met who would consider themselves manly. Mostly, they've struck me as far too concerned with their image to be psychologically adult.

It is like they are out to prove something.
