When did being soft become acceptable?

[Lustral]

i think you answered your own question there.

Not really. That's like paying a lawyer for advice then saying fuck you I know better. You could be a lazy girl without a PT so save the cash.

I know it is a stupid man pride thing to pretend to not be sick when you're half dead. I had pneumonia for over a week before it spread from lungs to blood and I nearly died - I just took ephedrine to get through days; I damaged nerves squatting when I felt a twinge because I said I'd do 3 reps so fuck it 2 more to go... I could go on but youu get the idea. That was stubborn but born of my upbringing - get on with it and you aren't sick (even if you are).

Moaning like you're giving birth or being tortured when you lift a comfortable weight? Fuck off.

An even worse side effect of these lazy girls are stupid motivational slogans thrown about. On the stairs up to main gym floor it reads "Your body can take almost anything... it's your mind you have to convince".

Sorry fucko but I drove home two hours after surgery under general anaesthetic this year and trained that evening. I trained with a broken foot for three months this year and I have pain somewhere nearly all the time. Who cares. Only fat lazy people need motivational slogans and they just ignore them anyway. Then share them the odd time they do train.

This is the result of feminism.  The female values of inclusiveness, collaboration, equality, and non-competitiveness have been encouraged for two generations.  Male qualities have been subordinated.  This is natural and part of the cycle for dying empires.  The great period of adventure and new world discovery ended when we hit the west coast.  After that we began the feminization of America.  This included all the usual rules/laws that setup and govern a society.  Similar to how prehistoric man sought out and conquered the best cave and his woman came in behind and built it into a home.

Sadly, the next swing back to masculine values won't gain full speed until we're actively exploring and colonizing space...100 to 150 years.

Much as I'd love to blame women, and I often do, a woman can't make you spontaneously react to a stimulus/feeling. That is ingrained.

I'm tempted to mention diving in football (soccer) but that is just engineered cheating.

I asked question because I don't get it. Men are becoming softer (skinny jeans, hipsters, etc) but there is a societal shift towards "nothing is wrong/socially odd" ... they will have a politically correct term for people who sleep with teddy bears soon instead of calling them childish/babies and urging them to grow up. When I started university in 2002 there was a gay and lesbian society. It then became LBG. Then after I left LGBT. Now LGBTQ. Now facebook offers 50 genders or some shit? Can you not just tell people fuck off, you arent a man in a woman's body or identify as a woman, you just want attention? Transgendered people exist yet they magically mushroomed in number since awareness of the issue became widespread and promoted as a social issue.

I'll live to see it, because I'm no pussy.

Great insight.
But the "revival" may come way sooner and not in such glamorous undertakings as space exploration - which is most likely a red herring.
