It has actually gotten to the point where we are shaming those men for being assertive and what is considered masculine. When it is pushed onto others to be that way is where the problem arises. Live and let live.

Quite a reasonable attitude. But that is quite simply unacceptable to many of the ideologues around here. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that American culture is extremely prone to fundamentalism, particularly when the ideology in question is under constant attack by reality. Naturally of course part of this is due to the material conditions for some of these ideologies passed away in the 1970s and people have yet to catch up.
