Why are those on the right so concerned with masculinity

[NuclearEnergy]

I cannot tell you the amount of times I've been called a "Liberal Cuck" on sites like Facebook just because I'm for LGBT rights, minority rights, women's rights and Sensible gun laws.  But according to some far right wingers I've come across on with Facebook call me a cuck. I even had someone tell me that since I never fought in the army I shouldn't be able to have a voice and such. Or another instance a gun nut told me that they better hope they're their to protect me when we get invaded by a foreign country. [I do own guns]. I do not however tote them around to show everyone. I honestly feel the reason some do this is because they are trying to compensate for "something else".

I just never understood it. It just seems Republicans have this insecurity where they're insecure about their masculinity. Like they somehow think caring about minorities is somehow a sign of weakness. I don't even consider myself a Liberal, in fact I'm a registered independent but I am probably more Libertarian.

I've difficulties following this video without subtitles (captions are only auto-generated on this one).

That must be tough. It sounds like you're in America. I don't know much about politics there but I'm for LGBT rights, minority rights, women's rights and disability rights. I'm from Sydney, Australia but I can imagine what you're saying. Republicans are ones within Trump's party, right? Generally, these people may be religious, depending on if you're in the Bible Belt. Most religious people are rude and insensitive enough to name-call someone who's different.

They seem to be convinced that taking low blows like that is an intellectually acceptable alternative to actually debating the question. This is what happens when you get mass support for a presidential candidate who speaks at a third grade level and introduced open racism to mainstream American politics for the first time since George Wallace's presidential run.

Also, with the word "Cuck" I have to show this image:



There's more in(s)anity in a larger infographic. Seriously, it shows how meaningless their use of "cuck" actually is, especially given that, to most viewers of The Force Awakens, BB-8, the "Little White Cuck Ball," is easily one of the most popular (if not the most popular) new character in the film.

I'm a big fan of masculinity.

Big burly hairy sweaty masculine mens who want me to fuck them in the ass.

And I don't care that to date, quite a few of them have been pretty damn conservative.

Usually when it's related to women the liberal person gets called a white knight.

Cuck is essentially someone who gives up breeding/passing on their genetic line and promotes someone elses breeding. Often of a different ethnic background.

In general white, left wing, atheists have low birth rates with little genetic investment in the future and they're also pro immigration and for diversity.

But I don't know if these terms are even used that much, if it's just an American thing or what.  The only time I've ever heard any of these terms used is by my friend who's fairly left wing and he uses cuck as a general insult just to mean someone who's sexually inferior.  But I live in the UK.

I can't remember being called a cuck ever but I'm sure I got called a white knight once on the youtube comments.  I'm not on facebook anyway.

A fella once told me, 'You're not liberal enough.' I responded by producing my SDLP membership card and stapling it to his forehead.

Because they are insecure in their ability to be men.

It's basically a kind of sexism towards men and a bunch of stereotypes they believe are defaults, You know, that shit about how you have to drink beer, love guns, love war, be obsessed with sports, and act and dress like 1955 never ended. They think being a man is all about the image one puts forth, rather than ones ability to have integrity and honesty, even when it goes against ones own self-interests.

Next time they give you shit about your support for gay rights tell them "you're the one calling an old bearded Jew daddy!".

[...]I just never understood it. It just seems Republicans have this insecurity where they're insecure about their masculinity. [...]

Because deep down, republic*nts dream of being f*cked up the ar*e by a whole tribe of large, dark-skinned dudes. That's why they feel they have to protest so much and put up all this macho facade...

But seriously - conservatives, especially white barely educated males, don't have much to offer in terms of smarts, or creativity. All the achievements they can claim generally come down to having been born with a c*ck - however laughably underdeveloped.

In the "olden times", that primitives long for, having a penis made you automatically higher status than at least half the population - as long as you were white, anyway. Now the f*ckers are scared, because they have to compete for jobs with women, homosexuals, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. So they put on a desperate show, consisting mainly of puffing up their chests and throwing feces around, like threatened apes.

And they should be scared. The society is moving forward, machines can do pretty much everything the average mouth-breather can, and macho-posturing is going out of fashion. They're a dying breed and they know it. Hence the panic and the desperate attempts at remaining relevant in a world, where you can't solve all your problems with punches.

OP: Maybe you should go out and meet some IRL. The internet provides a skewed window on the world.

Wait...you mean the Nigerian Finance Minister doesn't really want to give me $20 000 000? Fuck.
