Men are afraid Women will laugh at them, and Women are afraid Men will kill them.
It's pretty basic.
So long as actually confident men don't push to be role models or rather, the too clever by half privileged Peter Pans are held up as heroes in a simplistic and frankly cynical "You don't have to grow up" worldview, you're going to have a bunch of whiney little boys screaming that they deserve respect from women and other lesser beings - when in reality, they don't even respect themselves.
Rich "Conservative" Bastards never really respect themselves. They believe to their core their money is the only thing that makes them important or gives them and edge, and they're terrified of losing it, no matter how talented or smart they may actually be. They actually believe they're common shit people without all that money and they need to make sure everyone else believes it, too.
It's all too long for a bumper sticker. But technology has set time against the human brain, and it's getting more difficult for the average person to be able to take in long, complex concepts.
But back to the saying above; if any female tries to get them to grow the fuck up and own their own responsibility and self- respect like grown-ups, they're going to try to rip her to shreds for insulting their sacred veneer of manhood. And it doesn't matter if the boys are 12 or 92 years old.
They don't have enough confidence or self respect to handle criticism. And wimmin are supposed to be weaker than them, donchaknow?
