Submissive Men are Stronger/Weaker than Other Men?


I come across quite a few articles, social media memes and forum posts alluding to how submissive men are supposedly "weak", and this baffles me, (and keep in mind I am not a "feminist" harping about "toxic masculinity all the time either). It's like there is this so called "standard" of what makes a man, a man. Plus, to some people, any guy that is not in the conventional role, is "submissive". And for those sorts of close minded people, this title could apply to anyone that is a stay at home dad, a father that is openly affectionate to his kids or wife, to someone that is sexually submissive, a cuckold, a crossdresser, someone that is gender fluid and on and on and on. 

What I don't get is, why does acting like an apathetic barbarian, unintelligent and uneducated (in whatever forms that might mean), being crude, uncouth, poorly attired, unshaved and unwashed equal "masculine"?  And why do they view the opposite, meaning unconventional, not in the traditional role, someone that is empathetic, caring, kind as being equal to...whatever derogatory term/insult one might try to come up with...weak, sissy, feminized, a cuckold or a submissive? 

Being sexually submissive is a state of mind, its not indicative nor represented by physical characteristics or mannerisms, nor by physical stature. Being a kind and loving boyfriend or husband, a son or brother, being a good father is not weak, but in actuality, its true strength. Swaggering and strutting around, acting macho and tough is a sign of emotional immaturity and low self esteem. Being quiet, serene, sweet and not needing to act like a peacock seeking attention is a sign of deep seated confidence and security. Being sexually submissive, that vulnerability, opening up to someone, that takes a great deal of bravery and fortitude due to any possible rejection by ones wife, girlfriend or life partner. That is true emotional toughness, and this applies to guys that are hetero, bi, gay, fluid and anyone on any part of that spectrum. It just seems so juvenile and silly to me, at this stage in human evolution, to still view being a "man" as acting like a Neanderthal caveman, and anything different from that as being "feminine" or some sort of lesser man. 

Okay, so this was just another babbling ramble...and as usual, there is no real point.  :)

In the 1930s and 1940s, due to Polio epidemics, kids were sometimes homeschooled by teachers reading lessons over the radio. So, similar to the Covid-19 pandemic, this is not new.

  1. Regarding submissive men being strong or weak. I am a big guy, a (mostly former) athlete, won my last fistfight against a bigger guy in 1974. I have strong opinions which I share orally and in writing - as I work in a largely political world. Mostly I am pretty nice, but I don't let people push me around.

    With Irene, however, I love to let it all go - take no responsibility or leadership but simply follow instructions and please her the best I can.

    In the bedroom, to each their own (with consenting adults of course.)

  2. To the topic what makes a man, one quote I like:

    "A true man would state his desires" - Yennefer of Vengerberg

    https://www.magicalquote.com/seriesquotes/a-true-man-would-state-his-desires/

    I assume this applies not only to Witcher but also to a submissive male :)

  3. the stereotype you speak of plays into our female led / femdom relationship.if labels are appropriate or needed is up to the reader.

    im 6'7" i know down there im ok average maybe more.

    it is fun however to play up the sissy stereotype. i love wearing panties. i love being submissive to my wife. those stereotypes enable a shame or humiliation that further enhances my arousal. it makes her laugh. it makes the ladies that know our dynamic laugh.

    everyone wins to my mind

    we know its a stereotype not a real thing. it is fun to play it however

    1. Roleplay is great...I was speaking more about those confused people outside of the BDSM realm that cast aspersions on those within, wherein they have no clue about which and whom they speak. :)
