I never made that claim.
Or maybe a broadening view of sexuality, as opposed to the unnatural constraints placed upon society by puritanical morality. Call it what you will, it's YOUR own mind that places limits on what is considered acceptable, not some universal law. And the fact that 90% of the rest of our population think the same way does nothing to help your argument. People are sheep, I learned that years ago.
My neighbors are doctors, lawyers, high paid executives, and business owners in a classy neighborhood in a city that many would consider to be fairly conservative. My friends and acquaintances range from truck drivers to other business owners and everything in between. Some live in low income neighborhoods, Some live in middle class suburban homes. Some live in palaces. They are about as normal as they come. Maybe they can just sense that I am not the type to judge their behavior, so i see a different side of them than others do.
But they are not "M"en. They lack self respect. No even the strongest male animal in the pack allows other males to sample on his females. The lion, the alpha wolf, and other strong animals have multiple females...and will destroy any male that get too close to them.
People have not changed in the last 10 years. What have changed is the quality of people you hang up with.
I personally don't follow societal standards. I don't share all the details of my personal life. But, I can tell you one thing...real males (animals or humans) do not share their females. That has been the way for thousands of years in both the animal and human world.
And please...do not confuse wealth, $, education, and professions with Masculinity.
Sure...those people are normal as the amount of "M"en has decreased considerable in the last 40 years.
A true man walks with a woman desired by many...but owned only by him. And with owned...I mean her body and soul.
Today...many "m"en cannot do that. So, instead of losing her...they are afraid and share her with others. Trust me...a FULLY satisfied woman would NOT want to see other men. But takes work, respect, and positive masculinity to accomplish that.
In essence...you circle of buddies are not "M"en.
It is not about judging their behavior. If they want to live life without respecting themselves...that's fine. But, it is about judging YOURS. After all, that's the purpose of this forum and you are a member of this forum.
In summary...their behavior is due to fear, inability to be Masculine beings, and some sick justification.
It is called the puzzyfication of the American male.
