As a lad, me mother caught me doing the deed and I was completely devastated, I felt like a freak. I'll never forget what my dad told me. " Son, 9 out of ten men do what you did and that tenth fella is a lying bastard".
Like John Cleese said, (and I'm paraphrasing here) it's important to be kind, but if you design your society around the sensitivities of its most neurotic members, you end up with a neurotic society. That's no good for anyone.
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR Yes, but we shouldn't be confusing people's beliefs with their statements. That's how we get the ridiculous thinking patterns of the modern leftists. If something is true, it's still true no matter who says it or who repeats it. PS - John Cleese is the GOAT.
@@annatar6453 women are More neurotic than men..that’s exactly why women think men are toxic. No we aren’t. You want neurotic, look at putin. He’s got boomer energy to spare. Zelensky respects and honors women and isn’t relying on the simple fact of his gender to carry him through. You are who we don’t want to touch. That’s what bill and many, many men are Missing. We want men without the misogyny.
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR I would say the Cleese quote is the perfect place to use it. This is not deep thought, it is blatant common sense. You do not need extreme intellect or insight, to see the wisdom in the cleese quote (or paraphrase). That is the beauty of a real insightful quote, is that the wisdom is unavoidable. Cleese has a whole range of more subtle humour, but this is not it. It is sledge hammer bluntness.
I worked on the "Erin Brockovich" case and read a lot of literature about the results of environmental toxicity. The most significant symptom that struck me was decreased sperm count, high miscarriages and low egg count. The human body responds to an undesirable environment by not allowing reproduction...
That must have been an extremely interesting case. I personally believe that we are being secretly poisoned against our will for larger agenda including the inability to effectively reproduce.
@@fomofud9479 I’m sorry to hear. My ex boyfriend we thought of having kids but he has low sperm count and I have endometriosis and an ovarian cyst. It was sad too because we both would have been good parents and we both have high IQs ( sorry not to brag) but we felt that ok we have something to offer the world, and we’re both musically talented with a talent for languages. But IVF would be too expensive. He didn’t want to adopt but I was open to it. In the end we parted as great friends and we shared custody of a poodle who has unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge.
The problem is what people today are pathologising as toxic, like Liquid Death and Huel. So people are going to not pay attention when someone is calling out genuine toxicity.
Ya, he said it, but he missed the cause. The lack of movement, exercise, healthy diet, healthy habits, will drop testosterone in any man. Add the average human is far fatter then we used to be, why would we be fucking? What we need to focus on is not the lack of sex or what is masculine, we need to focus on shutting down fast food, replacing video games with physical sports a bit more, just get moving. Said the man just sitting at his computer....
As a conservative (at this point, I refuse to actually use the words “Republican” and “Democrat”, because both parties are so far from where they started out), it feels a little weird to praise a liberal, but on both sides, everyone is so measured, so careful, so calculated in the way that they speak, that it’s refreshing to see someone like Bill just say what he thinks and not care what anyone thinks or says about it
It’s intellectual dishonesty. It’s why the president of Ukraine is so magnetic, he’s genuine. American politicians are faking it. We know it, but our confirmation bias only allows us to see it in opposing parties. Americans need to design a bullshit detector.
@@alinaitzal1173 I agree. To me, liberal means exactly what you said, and conservative just means “doesn’t spend ridiculous amounts of money over-regulating the citizenry”. The fact that our government can’t figure out how to do both is insane to me lol
Yeah except that Bill is an establishment stooge, or worse, actually fooled by the bush league propaganda. To those of us who bother to turn on our Bullsht detectors, zelensky is a puppet. And a slimy scumbag one at that. This segment is pathetic & laughable. Except when I remember that we’re all gonna be worse for this BS. God I hate the criminals who run Washington. Every administration.
That "declining sperm count" graph animation had me dead lololol And Bill is so spot on here. I've definitely had two women try to lecture me, on separate occasions, for simply holding the door open for them on the way into the bank. It's like "YES. I KNOW YOU CAN OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR.....I WAS JUST A STRANGER TRYING TO DO SOMETHING POLITE"
Seriously, some people need to chill out! I hold the door for strangers, too. Why do some women have to act like this is an assault on their sense of self?
I open the door for anybody. So to me its not a problem. I see a person behind me, holds it open and walks in. Problem solved. Its funny how this is a massive debate though
@Reo Sho It's a great irony of life that few want to speak for all while not realizing no one gave those few permission to do so. This is where confusion takes root. Also, about women who complain, men holding a door open could translate to wanting sex, and that paranoia is a whole other ball of yikes that needs to be addressed.
Hey Bill, when was the last time YOU satisfied a woman sexually? You've been a Leftist figurehead promoting post modernist philosophy for decades now. Leftists won't be happy until they desex all males at birth ... like their support pets. That is their goal. Trump was the only President who achieved every Miss Universe's dream. Because he had an ardent Christian VP. Dubya's VP was the Military Industrial Complex. Half of Biden's $1.5t "Infrastructure" spending goes to the MIC. Obama caused Putin to take Crimea and now Biden causes Putin to take East Ukraine. This War can end now! All you have to do is back NATO off. Kennedy didn't tolerate Russia encroaching on USA space in the 60s, why should Russia tolerate NATO now? DNP hypocrisy unlimited. Biden caused this War. Wake up America! Biden, Harris and Pelosi are the best you've got? Bloomberg ran blocking defence to stop Sanders. Trump was hampered without both houses, so he leveraged up and threatened to expose the truth. The Elite Illuminati weaponised MSM to defeat him. OK Moderator, do your Leftist duty and moderate the Truth. That's what you do. Hypocrisy and Lies.
He is a puppet like Trump. Was put into office to play a role. Just as the deception sickness the last 2 years, this is a deception war. I really thought you weren't that stupid not to see it. Every single world leader in power today was put in office to play a role by the WEF. They openly say it, so don't give me your conspiracy BS. There is no way a corrupt crap hole country like the Ucrak can make oil be jacked up and food supply's short. Simply a manufactured crisis that you guys didn't get the first time around. These people are sick, they are lost, and they are possessed by unclean spirits trying to rid God from His creation and take it over. Ps 2:2. It does not matter if you believe in God or not, these leaders worship the fallen angel and hate the true God. And they are actively and very quickly rolling out their new world agenda. If you don't see that your deceived. If you don't report it like this patsy you are the enemy of the people. Cause Billy boy knows this, but telling the truth doesn't make him money.
I am 65 and 50 years ago, my mother was working as a researcher on studies for the Forestry Service. The government was doing research on how pollution was affecting wildlife. It was reported that there are a lot of endocrine disruptors in our environment which can harm endocrine systems of life on this planet. Endocrine disruptors like lead, mercury, plastics ( source of much pcbs) and the contamination of water with various drugs include birth control hormones. At the time my mom ( keep in mind this was 50 yrs ago), told me that water pollution had a link to newborns becoming homosexual. I at the time was dealing with a boy I had a crush on coming out of the closet and telling me he was gay. I think my mom was trying to comfort me, in a weird way. So, I said are you saying Patrick had no choice? Should I let him know that? Which she said oh no, forget I said anything! It is part of a government study and I really shouldn't have said anything. I think this was about the time homosexual behavior in Ibis in Florida were link to mercury poisoning. There is now a deformity in many fish species that are not normally Hermaphrodite, called intersex disorder caused by water pollution. Fish like the smallmouth bass, are growing eggs in their testes. This makes most sterile, and is causing a sharp decline in the smallmouth bass population. So, men and women not having a sex drive, less testosterone and progesterone? Maybe we are all becoming gender-less. Asexuality on the rise? One person I know that claims to be asexual, says no one turns her on. She has no desire for sex. She had relationships in the past, and said that she realized she rather just be alone.
Agreed on what you said regarding endocrine disruptors. Science has known about this for at least 40 - 50 years. As for asexuals, there are hundreds of thousands of us. We're here & we're queer. There's no "claiming"-I'm a 50+ yr old virgin with no sense of what it's like to even have a crush on someone. Don't have to be ashamed anymore. And I DON'T have to watch Bill Maher anymore. I keep trying, but every segment I watch now offends me. The pandemic has turned him from funny douche to not-funny, bitter UberDouche.
As far as asexuality goes, it's probably worth mentioning that for a long time asexuals were being mislabeled as bisexuals in research because if the Kinsey scale wasn't used, both bisexuals and asexuals could fall under the description of "little/no preference" or "equal attraction to both sexes" (even if that attraction was basically 0) so now it's likely being reported more accurately. Also better sex ed helps, if people know that most people feel attraction and pleasure, and aren't thinking about it in terms of "purity" or "sin" orwhatever else, then they might be more prompted to seek an explanation when they don't feel those things.
I still dont really feel like "toxic masculinity" is a thing. Masculinity is masculinity, being toxic is being toxic. Anyone can be toxic, it's not gender specific.
Masculinity, men have and women have it too depending on the person. In my opinion, the toxic part comes in when it is used to project bullying behaviour, mentally or physically.
It is a thing. There are plenty of instances in my country. There are degrees to it though which is should be acceptable, but beyond a certain level it can be borderline monstrous.
It’s possible to be a man who’s compassionate, kind, sensitive and loving AND be ready to stand your ground and defend when necessary. My WWII Medic Grandfather is an example. I like to think of myself as a little more rugged than the average lefty.
Consistent with the professed long-term desired “hard exterior soft interior” “type” expressed as what a woman wants. In the short term they do not want that kind of guy depending of life stage and circumstance, in my opinion.
Exactly. Women don't want big asshole dudes that go around picking fights. But they doesn't mean they don't want men that are "lethal", in the sense that they're willing to fight and die for family when the wolf is at the door.
Yes I agree and there is also a deep rooted attraction to someone who is tough, can provide and protect you and your family, handy and strong. This is just nature ingrained in us, what we needed to survive. I'm a woman who spends weeks alone hunting in the woods and if I am successful you wouldn't believe how much that turns women on. All of a sudden I get a lot more attention and women are gushing over me. It's so weird, I was like wow, our animal instincts are still very much alive.
@@cjh661 he's a POS. He's basically saying that exploitation and mass murder of men is fine as long as it turns on the ladies. He's a simp and a warmonger.
I read in a book on human evolution that if you time-transported Homo erectus from 1.8 million years ago to Manhattan and dressed them up, everybody would just assume it's a rare foreigner, maybe a little dumb one, but there would be no big difference (they no longer looked un-human, more likely than not they could speak, etc)
God I love Bill BURR. Maher, I don't laugh out loud at. He's mildly funny and has good guests. Bill Burr has had me laugh so hard it hurt. And he says it better too.
The other reason for less sex would be that in America it's kinda hard to find time to date when everyone needs 3 different jobs to afford rent and gas
And more people are opting out of college due to lack of affordability, so no dorm room “activity”. Also, people are taking longer to get their own place because of rent prices. It’s hard to date seriously or discretely when you live with your parents and siblings. 😂
@@sunshine3914 like in China, this is the new Texas one child rule. Whatever you do, don't get knocked up by Cletus from the ol honky tonk bar, cause you're gonna bring Li'l Cletus II into the world whether you like it or not 😂
I don't think Bill understands the difference between male toxicity and manliness. Volodymyr is both war leader and loving family man. And yes he's muy caliente. Women are leaving the country because they are bringing out with them the children and the elderly to care for. Don't forget the Ukrainian Army has 36,000 women in active combat, more than any standing army in the world.
What’s the difference between toxic and masculine, Zelensky isn’t doing “family man” anything? His wife and children left and rather than playing poppa he’s stayed behind in a warzone to fight or die. A war leader is someone involved in war are you saying war and violence are associated manliness? Women are fleeing because they don’t want to fight. Women are not physically built to compete with men. Wtf is manliness? Being a man is being willing to stare death in the face, suppress your emotions, grab your pair, and face it head on with no fear. Toxicity isn’t a thing, it’s completely subjective and it’s that rhetoric of wanting to pass on your duty, your job to women that is what’s turning us into a society of useless men.
@jimstr10 Source? From all that I have read wife and children remain in Ukraine. He doesn’t have to choose between “playing poppa” and leading the country. He can lead the country and be strong and have his family show solidarity by not leaving. Some women are fleeing. Some are remaining to fight. The Ukrainian people have a strong sense of pride and will fight their occupiers no matter their gender. Some have no choice but to leave with their children but they don’t feel good about it. Most women who are fleeing are not doing so bc they don’t want to flight but bc the have an obligation to keep their children safe. Courage and determination is present in every Ukrainian. Glory to Ukraine
@@jimstr10 Ahem. Got your facts wrong. 1) His family stays in Ukraine. 2) we know difference between a good man and a toxic one. 3) again I remind you the Ukrainian army has more women in active combat that any in the world. This does not detract from a man's manhood. 4) Zelenskyy being a leader does not make him a war monger. My father was a gentleman but not in war. Get the difference? 5) you are conveniently ignoring that women are primary caregivers for children and the aged, assuming many pro-social roles, plus are the reason you exist ~ don't forget. Good day to you.
@@briancarpenter6413 no gays don't have to worry about this crap. Im fact one thing a lot of us are sick of is women who are turned off by so called toxic men that they are everywhere in our formerly gay bars as their own safe spaces. Ugh!
The result of generations of emasculated TV father figures starting with Archie Bunker & while Bill is right in that more civil rights & equality was needed, the pendulum has swung too far "left" & the seventy genders or pansexuals are proof. Bring it back to center.
I love Bill because he dares to speak the truth, no one escapes his honest, sometimes brutal but necessary assessment of you,nd never backs down when people are offended. He dares to be real. We need so much more of his brutal, and fair, honesty.
@@Outlier999 Yes, most of the time he is. But real men would find this hilarious and agree with him. I can't stand the man and laughed through this whole thing. Grow up.
I never really thought about it until my wife brought it up. We have a little boy who’s now 7 but when he was about 3 or 4 she was really upset because Of how popular culture was framing all men and boys as being predisposed to violence and toxic masculinity. She couldn’t believe that there are people and a popular thought that he was destined to be horrible to people. Frankly I never gave it much thought but seeing her feeling damn near guilty pissed me off. Enough of this bs. Toxic men raise toxic men. We need good strong men just as much as we need mothers for our children
Most boys are prone to low level violence. Show me a boy who does wrestle or play rough. It's bred into us, and we learn to keep it under control as we get older.
100% gold. As Abraham Lincoln wrote "Right makes Might". If a boy is raised with a strong family values and strong belief in principled morality then strength will stem through the core of his soul when he becomes a full grown man. This is not toxic masculity. This is virtue we're talking about.
Okay, Esther Perel - world famous clinical psychologist and relationship therapist - with a husband and two sons of her own - talks about this frequently - and on you tube - (and also one of founding feminists in the 60's always said this too) - that we've had the women's revolution where we've come a long my way but there's still work to be done. BUT we (women, men, people, the world) need a MEN'S revolution of sorts to. What's needed isn't to neuter men or make men and women the same or make women dominant, but to understand the differences, make equality of opportunity but not eliminate merit, and have and do what we all need to thrive. We need "strong" independent women AND men. Why would it be any other way? Steven Covey says the goal in relationships isn't codependency it's interdependence and to have that, both people need to be independent (independent so you can be interdependent).
I was raised as a nice guy, but I've been trying to become a good man. I think the big key a lot of men in my generation are missing is to put a low priority on entertainment and a high priority on learning how to do stuff/competence
You have absolutely nailed it there. Women like men who CAN DO STUFF! And men like themselves when they CAN DO STUFF! But there is so much entertainment in our hand now (phones, people) that young men have lost the need to DO STUFF. I think Maher was spot on. BUT YOU WERE SPOT ON-ER!!
I disagree. Women are capable of doing a lot more these days than in the past, and for those things they can't do, they have money they can use to pay someone to do it for them. As men, we have to compete constantly for women's attention nowadays because of the mobile phone. She's not even going to be paying attention to you while you fix that broken sink for her--she's going to be on the phone texting with Rick from the gym. If you're not more entertaining than that screen in front of her, good luck buddy

But it's not true. Watch some videos where 100% pussified men on college campuses try to engage in condescending wordplay with the likes of Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and other conservative speakers and get their asses absolutely handed to them. These 100% feminine losers are one soy latte away from being able to give birth (except that no one will ever have sex with them).
Sounds a lot like BS quotes that your aunt puts on her walls. Just a bunch of yadda yadda. I'll try one: "Empathy is like coffee: even when you decaffeinate it, there's still a little caffeine in there." You see what I mean? Take any abstract noun, call it "A". Say, "A is like coffee: even when you decaffeinate it, there's still a little caffeine in there."
Thank you Bill Maher for pointing out the necessity of being a real man in the face of adversity. We are expected to do this and with few exceptions we step up and do it.
@@bobwhite3895 You just told me. And thank you for your military Service too! The service I was referring to in your post~was thanking you & a few who “step up in the face of adversity”. 😊
We are expected to do it when the moment comes, but no longer appreciated for that readiness the rest of the time. People are just too disconnected from the realities that made certain patterns emerge. But then, as they say, there are no feminists on a sinking ship. Just today I read news about a woman suing for "sexual discrimination" because she wasn't allowed to bare her chest in public, on the grounds of men being allowed to show theirs. (Not opposed to more liberty per se, but her reasoning simply denies obvious differences.) All the while her supporters commented on the fact that only men are not allowed to leave Ukriane and forced(!) into a fight to the death based on their gender was brushed off as "serves them right for inventing wars". That's "fighting for equality" for ya.
No he didn't. You just made that up. And “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” was an accurate, credible and reasonable statement.
I'm sorry, I didn't hear about Zelenskys conference with the US attorney general about Joe and Hunter Biden. BTW. You left out the "Do us a favor though....."
Zelensky on corruption in the Ukraine in response to Trump: "It’s not that those things don’t exist. They do. All branches of government were corrupted over many years, and we are working to clean that up."
There is no "inherent toxicity" with men. There are people who do good things and those who do bad. Judge them solely on their actions. Not creating a prejudice against all men, because somehow personal accountability is a foreign concept.
@@gayeenglund1907 I could see this thought process if say we followed some of customs of the middle east. Ex: women hit with rods when in public, made to wear certain clothing, etc. However, I think western countries use "societal issues" as a scapegoat for the actions of scumbags and criminal behavior.
@@gayeenglund1907 Yeah, that's also true. What a society values shows up in how its kids are raised educated and socialized. People ARE responsible for their own actions and behaviors BUT they can and do internalize the values of the societies they grow up in too. And if those values are wrong and harmful, they are only corrected to the degree and when the individuals who grew up with them are able to gain self awareness and deliberately choose and change otherwise. An example of this is my growing up in a well meaning but authoritarian, sexist, slightly mysoginist household. After becoming an adult it took me years to realize and correct the compliant, unassertive, people pleasing doormat I was raised to be. - Because society had raised my parents to think women and girls should be so that they raised me that way in the first place and thought they were doing the right thing. This is seen in homosexuals too. People were raised in the 20th century in a society that didn't understand human sexuality and where homosexuality fit into that. It was seen as a mental disorder, sin, even a crime (and still is in many societies - I think it's still illegal in 10 countries including Russia oddly enough). Even in America to this day homosexuals can struggle with overcoming self loathing they've grown up internalizing from their families, church, and culture's attitudes and beliefs about homosexuality. Families and communities and certainly some churches STILL exist that cast out any member that comes out as gay. I mean there are STILL closed gays cuz they don't want to bear the price coming out will cost them. And there are people who come out in their old age after living a lie their lives at their own cost and suffering (and often their straight spouse's and kids' suffering too). I'm not here to wave the pride flag (though there's nothing wrong with that) I'm just using the personal and individual struggles with recognizizing homosexuality as perfectly okay as a very good example of the problems AND INFLUENCE that cultural and societal values can have on children and people / society in general.
@@aubreyjames8795 Well, by calling it toxic masculinity implies that by its very nature, men are toxic. Sounds like prejudice to me. People being prejudice is not a direct signal of a person being victim. It's the act of accusing everyone in a group of people of bad behavior, due the actions of a few.
Preach it, Bill - I am so sick of us telling men they can't be, well, men. Just because some men are low-lifes doesn't mean we can't celebrate and honor legitimate, non-toxic masculinity that gets crap done! I appreciate that my husband's instinct is to fix and protect - I don't find that toxic, it's hot!.
Yeah well his point about it being ultimately on men is ridiculous. After about 20 seconds of a conversation with a young woman these days the indoctrination is so obvious and overwhelming you'd rather be talking to a brick. Best advice is go overseas and find a woman that still isn't brainwashed and has some traditional sensibilities and values. There are still actual strong women looking for strong men. Slipper slope doesn't even begin to explain what the West went through over the last 50 years. It's going to take generations or real culture war to dig out of this hell.
It's a fun rant, but gotta say, it's pretty ironic he's basing his whole "toxic masculinity is a good thing" rant on how brave Volodymyr Zelenskyy is, but we wouldn't have to endure this war if the dude attacking him wasn't such an egomaniac. I'd argue Putin is the poster child for "toxic" masculinity: Impulsive, irrational, driven to violence. I don't think anyone's definition for toxic masculinity would come close to what Volodymyr Zelenskyy is exemplifying: dignified, brave, measured...
@@brentsievers What that means is it is the same masculinity that attacks and it is the same that defends represented by Russians and Ukrainian men, world is full of grey my dude it is not black and white, Men and Women are different it just evolution and some of the traits in masculinity is toxic and so is some trait on femininity but in the west from kindergarten only is treated as a problem to be dealt with and the other is ignored, at the end of the day women like strong and brave men and there is nothing anyone can do about it
Eshki123- Bill IS caving. The spots he sends out lately, now that he sees he was wrong to depose Trump at any cost, are anti left. He rips apart everything and everyone. It's his thing.
I think a lot of the drop-off in sex can be attributed to how freaking overworked Americans are and how stressful our lives have become trying to get by and get ahead. We work longer hours for less net gain and usually in a family both parents work FT now. It's difficult to get amped up for sex when all you really want to do is fall asleep watching TV on the couch.
And the interbet changing habits. i I mean i did it for a while and know tons of people who do. Just come home and sit on the internet. Dont go out anymore. No friends.
Depends on your job. Many of us have jobs that weren't a thing 30 years ago. I do desktop support and coding. Im sitting at a desk in my office at home for 10 hours. When I'm done I want to go walking, go to the gym, play some guitar, etc.. And later on have some sex. 4 days working, 3 days off. Now if you work construction, yeah you got a point. I did that in my twenties and seen it destroy my dad and step dad over the years physically. They were both as you describe, come home drink beer, eat, go to sleep. I got out. Just glad jobs are available.
@@midnightshade32 This is the career I've been curious about getting into. I have years of experience in call center and office environments related to customer service and technical support for computers and smartphones. I took a coding class on Udacity in 2020 (but I didn't complete it due to lack of free time around the job I had at the time).
Love him or hate him, but Bill has really become a cultural force over the last few years. Millions of views on social media and I’ve noticed his new rules segment is covered by all the entertainment trade papers and tmz every week too.
This is the flashpoint of the country's pendulum swinging back from the hard left, toward the middle again. Note that nearly every New Rules closer, the last 6 months, has all been rooted with leftist fundamentals as what is being dragged in the mud. These are *all* right-wing rebuttals and gripes, just presented politely and witty through the mouth of a beloved classic liberal. And that is fine. Liberals need to speak up when it comes to the fringe on the left. Because right now, the fringe's ideas are the MAINSTREAM DOCTRINE of the entire left. Time to swing back. It was inevitable anyway. These phases are maximum 15 years, as history has shown. People get tired of the browbeating and lunacy, and change. Last time was the evangelical "moral majority" social grip of the 80's into the 90's.
It’s not so much that Zelensky is off killing Russians that attracts us. It’s that he is honest, ethical and stands up to bullies. Nice to see a man in power who puts the interests of others before his own.
Do u think Bill has seen the video of the American soldier who volunteered to fight for Ukraine then was threatened with murder when he and his team wouldn’t go on a suicide mission with no weapons or armor?
"Honest" ? An "honest" politician? You really drank the kool-aid. Snake island was a false account that zelensky pushed. Azov Battalion is a serious problem that zelensky is dancing around.... you have been slapped with propriganda and you can't get enough of it. Women are easily fooled lol.
NEVER cave on standing for what you believe in. It's better to have people walk away from you for what you believe than disappoint yourself. End of the day, you have to answer to you.
I can’t believe something this simple has become controversial. Thank you, Bill, for stating what should be an obvious truth to anyone who’s a grownup.
When the statement only women can get pregnant has become controversial you know we're fucked. You'll get the trans defenders on Twitter searching for likes but even they know it's ridiculous in real life.
@@lauralishes1 Regrettably, I agree. I don't want a man in a bathroom with my daughter just because he thinks he's a woman. And it is also ridiculous to say because a man thinks he woman he should be able to compete with women. (If they get that rule passed in the Olympics women will be eliminated from all sports. Talk about sexism). If they think they are the other sex put their money where their mouth is and have the operation. Until then, if you have the organs, that is what sex you are despite what you think.
You're missing a critical feature of Zelenskiy that is missing from most masculinity we see: honour, courage, protectiveness of women and children. He is NOT toxic masculinity. He's the real thing.
Exactly...Putin is the example of what is considered toxic. Bullying a smaller nation because he is a nationalistic d*ck going through an end of life crisis...how many post about his sexiness lol. And most of the high celibacy numbers trace back to Covid. And gee if you type anti-women phrases into etsy...shocker there's merchandise. THis dude is a Muppet.
Exactly. Bill is manufacturing something to be offended by, so he can be publicly offended. Exactly the terrible crime he accuses the left of. Silly Bill.
Exactly!!! But then I am called “repressed” woman because I believe there is power on letting men be men and I still hold power by being a woman without turning into “one of the guys” lord! Biology is what it is, stop extremes!
Exactly, biology is natural, it's evolution, it's life. Inventing new genders and other mindgames is not part of that biology, it's an unfortunate side effect from a prospering society that has too much time on their hands. I'd welcome any female colleagues, but they don't seem to want to become trashman/women, i wonder why....
There are plenty of women these days who seem to have a constant chip on their shoulders towards men in general. I was admonished for holding a door open for a lady (as I always do) when she quipped "I can open my own door" and then got even more upset when I replied "yes ma'am". As if somehow I was implying that she wasn't able to open a door, being a woman and all. I didn't respond after her outburst, instead just let her continue living a miserable life. But this is becoming more and more common, as masculinity in general seems to have been lumped in with the toxic side. There are still things in our DNA as men that we do better than women, and vice versa. Recognition and respect from both sides is the key, and I'm not sure we are heading in that direction as a society.
In Canada it's normal for people to open doors for each other. Could be either a man or a women that will open it for you. The most important thing though is to say "Thank You" rudeness will not be tolerated. Anyways now you know.
That just sounds like a rude person to be honest. Depends on how you did it though. If it was clear the you did it only because she was a woman I would get irritated too but if you do that for everyone (as you should) it was just rude behavior by her
Ah Bill, Zelenskyy is hot because he’s a hero, he’s the truest public servant, willing to die for his country. That level of commitment and that level of bravery is hot. There’s nothing toxic about it.
@@JC18630 yeah, it's society that lumps the two together. I'm pretty sure Bill is saying that the problem is that positive masculine qualities are being called toxic just because they are masculine. I don't think he's revering toxicity or saying that that is what women are attracted to.
Nobody forces you to eat Big Macs at gunpoint. If you want to drink a soy latte, that's your choice. And yes, Sot lattes are proven to lower testosterone.
We’re unhealthy as a nation, and we’re entrapped in to eating garbage foods even though the label says it’s “all natural” and “free range” among other marketing keywords.
Glyphosate, GMOs, the sh_tload of toxic chemicals poured onto our foods, onto our waters, Into our soils, thalates, PFOAs, PFOEs, microplastics making its way into the fish populations, and on and on…many of these things PROVEN to affect both testosterone and estrogen levels: THAT IS AT THE ROOT OF THIS. STOP THIS POLLUTION OF OUR FOODS BEFORE IT DOOMS US ALL. Put the blame on corporate greed where it belongs. Scapegoating women for this is just plain laziness. What is needed is in-depth discussion of the real causes, not bashing women because they don’t want their men to be jerks, and expect better from them.
@@ljohnson2181 Yes, but the responsibility for change begins with each person reducing, reusing, and protecting the environment in their own home. Example, I remember when we washed and reused bread bags for storage. Now people buy storage bags by the hundreds, clear, pretty colors, designs - and they all wind up in trash after 1 use. Remember glass milk jugs, powder laundry detergent in cardboard boxes? Now plastic, plastic. We need to think, think, think before we buy.
Bill was very correct when he said that today guys asking a girl out is seen as aggressive. I have seen several posts on social media lately of girls asking for advice. It was different people with the same question. Seems a young man asked a girl out on 2 different occasions. The girl said no twice, then asked if she should report the guy to the police for sexual assault. I asked if the males had put their hands on them at any point or said anything offensive. Both said no. I then told them that the guys didn't do anything wrong, they just simply expressed an interest in taking them out. Well...the responses I got from lots of people made it seem as if I had just told the gals to lay back and enjoy it. Total, absolute insanity. So, watch it guys...not sure how you're supposed to ask someone on a date anymore. This has turned into a very bizarre world.
@Deborah King, yup and this is exactly why men and women aren't having as much sex. Men are afraid (not of women) but of being accused of rape, sexual harassment, or some other type of abuse simply for expressing their attraction or mere interest. And yes, I understand that cat-calling and other such behavior can be problematic (although some women actually enjoy cat-calling if done a certain way) but merely asking a woman out or even just voicing how attractive we think she is, in my opinion, is not wrong in any way. All she has to do is say she's not interested and that's it, both parties move on. It's like people today have forgotten that we are, at the most basic level, biological beings. And biological beings have instincts, including the instinct to engage in sex. But it turns out that we are now trying to criminalize this instinct. It's really a sad thing.
@@deborahking5610 Well I get why it in some circumstances it can be a problem. The issue is that if a guy does it in a non-empathetic way, the lady can get uncomfortable, and I understand that can border on harassment (especially if he doesn't back off). But even so, rejection is inevitable in such encounters, and even if done right it can be uncomfortable for both parties. I guess that some people take that inevitable discomfort as something that should be avoided and therefore labels it as harassment even though it's not.
@@juanlambda27 Interesting thing about the cat-calling: I think it's cultural. Both cat-calling as well as the negative way we mostly view it in the West. I'm not a woman but I can imagine it's like shining a big bright light on somebody who just wants to be left alone. You can't assume that somebody suddenly wants to be the object of attention especially if you're just walking to the shop or something. So I understand the negativity around this. But I remember meeting a Colombian lady some years ago in Germany. She was amazed that the German guys didn't flirt with her in public - in Colombia, that was apparently the norm, and she actually enjoyed it. In Germany, you keep your distance, at least in public. Culture plays a big role in these things.
That last line lol! What makes Zelenski sexy is more than him being a charismatic leader, tough, heroic, brave and a "man's man" - he's also funny, intelligent, successful, heart-full, and a loving father and husband - (plus a leader of a country and not in his 70s), and that's why women are swooning again. He is the manifestation of the new definition of power and balanced masculinity. Thank god men have someone admirable to look to who manifest those qualities to a sublime degree. Putin (and his ilk) are The Old, Zelenski is The New.
Excellent comment, and so much more to the point than Bill's lazy, stereo-typed and old-fart grievance-fuelled rant disguised as comedy. The only funny thing in this bit was when the graphic collapsed from being flaccid. And that was surely designed by his staff.
Oh really, how do you know he’s funny, intelligent, heart full? We’re you swooning over him back then when you saw those qualities in him? Or was it when he decided to don the military suit and go to battle whilst women and kids ran off?
@@markmiller6111 "how do you know he’s funny, intelligent, heart full?" Because he said, I don't need a ride, I need help." That covers the first two. We know he's heart-full because he's still there.
C. S. Lewis wrote "The Abolition of Man" back in 1943 - it has continued spiraling down. People want men of courage and integrity - or, at least, they say they do. When that sort of man shows up, they crucify him. This has gone on throughout history, and it is just getting worse.

Please!!! What the feminists nowadays call toxic masculinity is so vague that it is becoming ridiculous. Mansplaining... Toxic masculinity Manspreading... Toxic masculinity Even being chivalrous... Toxic masculinity.
@@aktob316 I shouldn’t have to say this, it should be obvious, but “toxic masculinity” doesn’t mean that men are toxic or that masculinity is de facto toxic. Rather, it means that extreme forms of traits traditionally associated with masculinity, like aggression and stoicism, are toxic. Rightwingers, however, like to pretend the phrase is an attack on men because it’s a quick way of derailing a conversation about rigid gender norms, and allows them to pretend that feminism is some sort of plot against men. Feminists don't hate men, they hate the patriarchy. Which is a system that hurts, and often kills, women as well as men.
@@AuntieFa Just as right wingers, you're also FEIGNING ignorance about the Feminists that actually hate all men. Yes, on average, most normal feminists do not hate men, but there's a reasonable number of them that go to the extreme. Ignoring those loud extremes isn't helpful. By the way, I'm neither left nor right. I'm totally neutral from political affiliations.
Also consider that most of the American and Ukrainian soldiers being praised are millennials and gen-z. I think, given hard times, the guys we call "weak" in peacetime can often muster a surprising amount of strength. Also consider that a lot of the guys who use this line to diss the younger generation grew up in America's economic golden age following WWII. They aren't necessarily the strong men. Their dads were.
I love how some people are finally seeing what normal people have been pointing out for years. Though pro-woman/pro-girl recognition has been a good thing we've raised a whole generation of little boys who've never seen anything pro-man/pro-boy. In fact they've seen just the opposite. Boys wanting to be more like girls because girls are now the epitome of goodness. Masculinity is not toxic in of itself. Masculinity is what makes men be brave, to protect those they love with their lives, to be strong for the weak. When those parts of masculinity are used to hurt others it's not because masculinity is bad it's because as a child this person raised without a good, moral male role model.
There is more to this. The horrible diets and condition most people are in (most western countries are at around 75% overweight or obese with terrible diets and most have no exercise as part of there life). Some of this is of a direct consequence of the movement to needing both people in a marriage to work for so many more families then before. There have been a lot of consequences to the changes, some for the better and some for the worse. But for some reason the worse is discouraged from being discussed and it isn't just going to go away.
@@ЯСмерть-ф5п You cringed because one batch of manufactured nonsense was illustrated by symbols from another, similarly-derived batch of manufactured nonsense?

You can call yourself whatever you wanna do whatever you want to your body but there’s just boys and girls always has been always will be. If you want to be both at one time in one day then the other the next, do that I’m happy for you.

They've done studies recently here in the UK and found that college students, particularly men are having far less sex than they were, and part of the reasons as Bill said were fears of "toxic masculinity", more and more young men are wary of approaching women because of the fear they'll be accused of sexual harassment, so they choose not to bother, and as a result they're having less sex
"men are wary of approaching women because of the fear they'll be accused of sexual harassment, so they choose not to bother, and as a result they're having less sex"...you describe this as though it's a problem rather than a GOOD thing.
@@scottgurstein it's definitely a problem. Hitting on someone shouldn't be remotely questionable... It's how we get to propagate the human race. Obviously you must be the "one in four"
That's an idiotic statement. Sexual harassment is only in the workplace or perhaps in the classroom. It's not a crime ffs, there are plenty of settings to approach a female.
It's not the hunkiness, but his honesty, his character, his willingness to stand up that both men and women admire.. His ability to be touched by his people, women, children and elderly being massacred. Women and gay men do desire strength, but they also want the softness of humanity as well in their partners. They don't have to be neanderthal man, just a man with character and substance and understanding.
@@pawelallable The way he's spoken out.. the way he didn't give into Trump's personal demands.. His willingness to talk to anyone and everyone who asks him questions.
@@ursaltydog that's some ignorant Bs. You can verify, he even recently silenced all government opposition parties. Can you imagine if George bush said "democrats have to be excluded from Congress for now, were at war and we don't have time for any of their arguments about what we're doing". There are many examples of him being a little tyrant. Just a more acceptable one than Putin.
@@robinthrush9672 Exactly, yet again men are under the microscope & women, particularly modern women, get a free pass. If Maher only knew how many of these modern women treat good men & often reject them; not my opinion either, as many literally proudly post about it for the world to see. Our societal & cultural conditioning certainly isn't helping men either (think Disney movies), esp for the many men raised by single moms & influenced by predominantly female teachers. Maher is right about one thing: we def need more masculine men.
The fact that the laughter is noticeably muted and strained is very telling. I suspect that women just don’t want to admit it: they want a man. They may not like everything that a man does during peacetime, but a masculine man does more for the ladies than the supposed man they think they want.
It has been called the atomization of society. Every nuance of sexuality has to have a flag and an anthem, even things that were considered attributes of character are now whole identities.
@@bS0up Not every joke directed at someone or some group is a vailed attempt to destroy them. On the one hand you want transpeople to be accepted, on the other you want them to be treated as saints. Humans make jokes. And when you're easily offended they make them behind your back.
@@vipertact I'm just tired of hearing the same two or three trans jokes every year. It's tired.

this view of zelenski is total bs propaganda complete with hollywood type script writers . i mean give me a break , i doubt he said " i need ammunition , not a ride " . i mean thats what u would hear someone say in a movie and not real life. also all these photos of zelenski in military garb is laughable and ridiculous and i doubt he is personally fighting trained russian soldiers .
@@Bancheis It does not matter. Who will he be called a phobe by? A person that really matters in society or soem twitter celebrity? If you stand for something you will make some enemies. Valuable people live with those consequences.
@@xq1234wzts That's a good point. And yeah, I am not advocating for not doing it out of fear. Far from it. I think people should be blunt and honest, even if it means saying something hurtful or rude.
I am quite possibly the least manly man alive, and I can only say... yeah. This is all pretty much true. I wish that when I was younger, I'd been told to be bold and assertive instead of been told to be meek and unthreatening. I'm not saying I'd have been a manly-man now if I had, but the messages I got made me double down on my worst habits. I had to learn, late and with difficulty, that no matter how much the world told me to sit down and shut up, it would actually reward me for standing up and making my voice heard.
I think there's value both in being assertive as well as unthreatening. Yet that's a very hard balance to achieve and usually end up going to the extremes (by becoming either an aggressive bully or a defenseless push-over.)
At least you are male and can stay relatively desirable into your 50s. I feel a lot worse for women who were taught to disregard their most fertile years, then in the blink of an eye realize what it means to be 35.
Unfortunately the Big Dick energy is Putin who’s representing toxic Masculinity rather well. Zelinsky represents honor, bravery and a Politician who’s actually doing what’s best to defend his people. He represents what women desire.
I think another reason why so many people find him hot is that he is a YOUNG president. I mean, he's not 70+ years old, gets shit done and looks overall like a nice guy you wanna hang out with.
Absolutely. Vladimir Putin is aging like a banana and is an evil rotten war-mongering son of a bitch. Volodymyr Zylenski is handsome and unlike a lot of presidents and prime ministers knows the importance of being able to stand and fight for his country. Similarly; Taiwan's president Tsai-Ing Wen proves in a region that is rather patriarchal that women are just as capable as men of running a country.
Zelensky isn't any kind of example of 'toxic' masculinity though, like Bill seems to suggest. He's just straight up masculine. Putin on the other hand.. I don't think most women have a problem with good, positive masculinity.
He didn't say that, or even suggest that. He said that Zelensky manifests masculinity, as he certainly does, but there is pressure in the contemporary society to rid men of their natural impulses that define them as men because they _may_ cause toxic behavior towards women and other people, but at the end of the day, that ultimately does not help anybody, especially women who find what men have become after that conditioning unattractive.
Dude, he is straight up killing Russians and sending the women away so the men can be left alone to do it. There is nothing more "toxic" than that, and it's great
@@clayman1980 Seems to me he suggests it in the line "You can think masculinity is toxic, or you can think Z is awesome, but you can't do both." Sounds like he's equating toxicity with masculinity in a way that I don't think women actually do. I agree with your point about "pressure in the contemporary society to rid men of their natural impulses" but I don't think Z is counter example to this. If you were to use him as a counter example you'd have find a group of people that think his behavior is toxic - something I haven't heard anyone say.
@@johnnyjohnny2650 Exactly. I can only speak for myself, as one woman, but I think Zelensky's masculinity is the opposite of toxic - he is honest and modest, and was not afraid to ridicule himself as a comedian. Contrast that with Putin and you get the difference between positive and toxic masculinity.
Lol... Is it really mansplaining when a lot of things he said are just reaching A to Z? I mean, it's full of confirmation bias. I mean, dude just literally turned a human disaster in Ukraine into his issue. Get a life, man.
I know Bill really does not have the time to go into deep dives, so I don't really hold it against him. There's also that group of us who just don't want to hook-up or have the time, money and energy to try to deal with the stress of trying to even get a girls attention. I'm a true introvert and very shy. Always have been. It's really gotten worse over the last few years. I would just as soon stick my hand in the conveyor belt gears at work than talk to the cute girl next to me.
America became comfortable and bored with all the success to the point where people started to create and invent struggles where there were none and now here we are, it's only so much bending you can do until you break! There are no winners and everyone gets a trophy brought us here.
@@greg3087 Transgenderism is 1. Women's rights and the supposed wage gaps also come to mind. Climate change. I could go on and on I'm sure. Gnaw on these examples and try not to cry-
Yes. Being a good strong kind man who is against corruption and wants to protect his land and people, including the women amd children are all positive qualities that zelenski showed even before this war. It was just people didn't know whether to believe him before. Now it is clear he was sincere. And that kind strength is very sexy in a positive way. He is a poster boy for positive masculinity which has always been a thing, but it gets ignored.
@@wordzmyth Absolutely! Some traits traditionally associated with masculinity are positive, like being a protector or being strong, as you said. Toxic masculinity is just as bad for society and women as it is for men too. Toxic masculinity is not being allowed to show emotions because of perceived weakness, it's not crying or having feelings -let alone showing them- because you'd be a "beta". This cannot be good for the mental health of boys raised that way. We're the products of our societies. Our fathers and forefathers weren't exactly very generous in the "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" departments but that's not excuse to turn into a feckin incel or terrorist; even we don't and can't control everything, we all have some degree of personal responsibility and free will in how we turn out. Thanks for your reply Annora :)
I don’t think he was praising the actual toxic masculinity traits. He was more referring to how a movement to rid itself of toxic traits, basically consumed a majority of the positive traits too.
@@Brody400 Thanks for your input, Caveman! You're right, though I'd argue the two aren't mutually exclusive... He amalgamated strong and positive masculinity but he 's right in his critics of these women who want to have their cake and eat it. "Be careful what you wish for" sort of springs to mind when thinking about those complaining about men being softer, or more open to share their feelings...
Toxic masculinity doesn't mean masculinity itself is toxic, but that *toxic* masculinity is toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to a very specific mindset that is tied to what society perceives as masculine, it is not really what masculinity is or should be
Exactly. He’s acting like masculinity and toxic masculinity are the same thing. I expected Bill to be smart enough to understand the difference. This whole clip was very disappointing.
I don't think anyone is saying the Ukrainian guy is being toxic - it's Putin who is displaying toxic masculinity by starting a war to show other what a tough guy he is.
This rant sounds like it comes from a guy that is part of that 1/4. How is Zelensky toxic? putin is toxic, refuses to listen and wont admit he was wrong because that would make him seem like less of a man.
Exactly! Zelensky strikes me as warm and compassionate.....aren't those feminine traits? Zelensky is a mans man AND he's not a one dimensional emotional cave man. THATS what women want.
In case you are not up with the woke definition of “toxic masculinity” is everything pertaining to a man behaving masculine. From how he looks, to complementing a woman to approaching her to ask her on a date. All the woman has to do is say she felt uncomfortable and hell ensues.
@Dona Mills Yeah, some folks on the left take things too far in the way you mention (and some on the right take things too far the other way as an over reaction to them) For me though (I'm on the left) I think it's also masculine to care about your family by doing more than just working to pay the bills (which is also important). Masculine is being secure enough to rock your child to sleep or gently soothe their scraped knee or spend time and have a tea party with your little daughter. Being confident enough to show their sorrow at the death of friends instead of hiding it for fear they might be mocked for crying at a funeral. Brave enough to say "I love you." and mean it. Secure enough in their sexuality not to have to prove anything to anyone one way or the other. They know who they are and that's all they need. Strength. Confidence. Independence. I get the feeling Zelensky would do all these things......and yes, he will fight and die for them as well. That's a real man. I think rather than calling it toxic masculinity we should call it limiting masculinity. Men can't ever be sad, Never afraid, Never do anything that could be mocked. Never show weakness of any kind. Never admit not knowing how to do something. Never take advice. They must live in the small box society has created for them. I know a lot of guys like this.....most of them are older men who grew up a certain way. I think that was a disservice to them. The left has things to learn and so does the right. My friend, lets meet in the middle and make it happen. I'm going to make a nice dinner for my wife, clean the kitchen, tell her I love her and then go to the gun range. (seriously)
No one claimed masculinity is toxic by its existence, it was always about the discussion of what aspects of masculinity are toxic but chuds have this weird interest in oversimplifying the problem, probably to avoid having to examine their own behaviors. Introspection is hard. Putin: Toxic masculinity. Zelenskyy: Non-toxic masculinity. If that doesn't make it clearer, I don't know what will.
I've fought a war, and will say war fucking sucks. If the world could go without fighting ever again, I would be happy. But I'm also a realist. Humans are violent, emotional, illogical creatures of passion, greed, and selfishness. Si vis pacem, para bellum! By being the biggest, baddest mother fucker on the block you actually deter violence and war. See Russia right now. They would have already been stomped into the ground if they didn't have nukes. Heck, they probably would have never invaded Ukraine if they didn't have nukes.
I’m with Bill all the way with this one. Males and females need to apply effort, doing everything possible to make you happy is what makes it happen for us. Attitude makes people sexy, not just looks.
Can we maybe at least get past the idiotic crap that gets passed off as "masculine/sexy" and doesn't really amount to anything more than a drama queen moment !??
I find that he's common sense most of the time He's got a few points where you're like "No dude... just no" but.. We're adults as conservatives and we can hear that and not lose our minds.
The sex drought is due to stress. Everyone has so much stress in their everyday lives, it's at a toxic level so sex drives decrease. It's become too expensive to live and that effects every aspect of our lives. Stress from your job. Corporations actually expect employees (who really have no stake in whether the company makes money or not), to think of them like a family, work more than 40 hrs with no increase in pay then expect you to give 100% and increase that by 10% every year then hold it against you in your annual review of not met. How is that possible. You're treated like a child. No wonder sex is down. Who has any energy, confidence or self esteem left? We need to demand and build better, more affordable, happier lives to increase desires for sex.
Lots of people have been stuck with the kids at home, and caring for elderly parents more, weight gain from stress, people have to feel pretty and relaxed before they feel like being intimate with their partner. Others aren't meeting people to have a partner because you can't have love at first sight wearing a damn mask, and socializing has dropped over the last 2 years. It is crazy, and it's making people go crazy lacking affection and human touch, even if they don't realize it.
I don't know what "intersectional feminist" is, and I don't bother with word salad. But I'm sure that zelensky is a feminist. Take a look at his wife. No non-feminist man would get with a tough chick.
He has changed so much that i am here listening to him , and i am considered to be a far right im actually a conservative libertarian and that does exist .
Wrong! After they canceled his first show back in 2004, and then doing the movie "Religulous" where many Muslims didn't exactly welcome his project with open arms, he has become a total IsIamophobe and pro-Zionist, even though Israel is an APARTHEID country--which he denies by the way, in the same manner a Nazi would deny the HoIocaust!
The decline in sex is directly related to the increase in mental anguish of recent years. It's a massive mental health problem! And yes, male energy is a beautiful thing, especially when combined with a healthy emotional intelligence.
Agreed....that, and the fact that we're fucking exhausted all the time. I come home from work everyday and to be honest, I'm rarely in "the mood" -im too tired and stressed out and just wanna lie down for a bit and close my eyes so I can relax for a few minutes without someone bugging me about some bullshit.
I think hes misunderstood what toxic masculinity is. And Im sure many other people have too. Its not that masculinity itself is toxic, its that it can become toxic. Hes an easy example: Putin: Toxic Zelenski: not toxic
Agreed. But speaking as a millennial guy, we weren't given many clear "non-toxic masculinity" examples. We were just raised being warned about everything that is toxic. If you're only told when you're wrong, and rarely told when you're right, you tend to just regress.
I understand the instinct to recoil at criticisms of "toxic masculinity," but I realized I didnt need to hold on to the social pressure to force, to stonewall, to dominate and to rage The part of me that defended the weak, was honest, asserted what is right and moral, and balanced and worked, those parts of me made me a good man and werent criticized Im going to be blunt: grow up Just because the lady didnt tolerate or like creeps doesnt mean she hates all men and doesnt mean shes telling you to stop being a man
I'm sorry Bill, but before the war, Selensky was the type of guy you're complaining about. You can't judge if someone is a brave man or not until it gets really serious. I know an Austrian sea captain, he lives with his mother and has a bit of the attitude of a nobleman, this man supplied Split and other ports at night and new moon from sea during the Yugoslav war while the Serbian cannons were waiting for him and his crew.
Bill doesn't let facts get in the way of making controversial statements. He's gone from being a decent commentator and panel host to being someone addicted to controversy. He completely ignored that men were required to stay and that despite that fact, 15 percent of the Ukraine army are women. That was an inconvenience however to the rhetoric he was slinging. He's just defending himself now because he knows we've labeled him sexist, which he is.
I don't know where this came from. As if Maher is the personification of macho. Zelensky is a regular guy. Putin is the "man's man," the "stud" who poses with his shirt off. The unassuming Zelensky keeps at his post as the Russian army closes in and despite the very real possibility of being assassinated. Studmuffin Putin is afraid to get nearer than shouting distance of his own advisors.
^^ THIS. Exactly this. Would give you 100 thumbs up if I could. The toxic masculinity all those hated "feminazis" have been complaining about all along is the kind that gave us frigging PUTIN. Zelenskyi didn't feel the need to ride shirtless to prove how much of a "man's man" he was. He chose a career in comedy after getting a law degree and didn't take himself too seriously. Watch old clips of him doing Ukraine's "Dancing with the stars" and he wears a costume that's basically PINK. Who of those "real men" Maher talks about would have the balls to do that? And when the war came, Zelenskyi rose to the occasion with impeccable courage, but he's not the kind of braggart "rah rah hero". I mean just listen to how he speaks. He's always kind, and feels for people's losses. He's also resolute BUT THAT'S NO CONTRADICTION. Why do people always think, that men can't be kind AND resolute if necessary? Zelenskyi is exactly what progressives and feminists would see as a good, modern man. No wonder so many think he's irresistibly sexy. That's because he's exactly the OPPOSITE of the toxic overly "masculine" braggadiocious guy.
Yeah he is. Very wrong. This smells like the “Cuomosexual” media-hype all over again. Men in corporate media fawning all over him & sexualizing him the way Bill is doing zelensky here. Remember that? Cuomo was the “greatest thing ever” when he actually LITERALLY killed a bunch of grandmas in NY state. It’s pathetic propaganda. Stop falling for it. Zelensky has needlessly dragged Ukraine into a STUPID WAR, ensuring death & destruction for his people. He is forcing civilian men to take up arms against a professional army, while he barks orders & escalates tension in front of green screens from the comfort & safety of his hiding places. Zelensky is a complete fraud and truly a POS of a human being. I sincerely hope you guys learn enough to understand that.
Thank you. It’s annoying when these faux pundits distort something to make a point. He knows all masculinity isn’t toxic masculinity. He can make fun of it all he wants, but when a man can’t stand up for another man without the fear of being called “gay” and being ostracized, it’s pretty toxic. A lot of it isn’t how they act with women, it’s how they act with each other. For example it’s okay not to talk about tits and sports all the time. It should be okay to go a little deeper. Doesn’t have to be a lot-just a little.
@@tarmin1711 Trump = toxic masculinity. He’s gross. Zelensky = non-toxic masculinity. It’s hot. Being a hero is definitely non-toxic. Why do you think women like fire fighters? Get it?
No. it’s masculinity. there’s nothing erotic about getting something done in itself. if that was the case home depot employees would be the studs of all studs. masculinity is passion.
Except in a war situation, the people doing the hardest, really ugly stuff are men. It’s not a sin to appreciate the contributions of men, regardless of the feminist rot coming out of universities today.
As a lad, me mother caught me doing the deed and I was completely devastated, I felt like a freak. I'll never forget what my dad told me. " Son, 9 out of ten men do what you did and that tenth fella is a lying bastard".

Like John Cleese said, (and I'm paraphrasing here) it's important to be kind, but if you design your society around the sensitivities of its most neurotic members, you end up with a neurotic society. That's no good for anyone.
Oh wow excellent quote
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR Yes, but we shouldn't be confusing people's beliefs with their statements. That's how we get the ridiculous thinking patterns of the modern leftists. If something is true, it's still true no matter who says it or who repeats it. PS - John Cleese is the GOAT.
Facts, women are more neurotic than men, and now that we are moving away from patriarchy and towards feminism, everyone is depressed
@@annatar6453 women are
More neurotic than men..that’s exactly why women think men are toxic. No we aren’t. You want neurotic, look at putin. He’s got boomer energy to spare. Zelensky respects and honors women and isn’t relying on the simple fact of his gender to carry him through. You are who we don’t want to touch. That’s what bill and many, many men are
Missing. We want men without the misogyny.
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR I would say the Cleese quote is the perfect place to use it. This is not deep thought, it is blatant common sense. You do not need extreme intellect or insight, to see the wisdom in the cleese quote (or paraphrase). That is the beauty of a real insightful quote, is that the wisdom is unavoidable. Cleese has a whole range of more subtle humour, but this is not it. It is sledge hammer bluntness.
I worked on the "Erin Brockovich" case and read a lot of literature about the results of environmental toxicity. The most significant symptom that struck me was decreased sperm count, high miscarriages and low egg count. The human body responds to an undesirable environment by not allowing reproduction...
@@fomofud9479 Do the two kids you had with your first wife happen to look a lot like the milkman, by any chance?
That must have been an extremely interesting case. I personally believe that we are being secretly poisoned against our will for larger agenda including the inability to effectively reproduce.
@@fomofud9479 I’m sorry to hear. My ex boyfriend we thought of having kids but he has low sperm count and I have endometriosis and an ovarian cyst. It was sad too because we both would have been good parents and we both have high IQs ( sorry not to brag) but we felt that ok we have something to offer the world, and we’re both musically talented with a talent for languages. But IVF would be too expensive. He didn’t want to adopt but I was open to it. In the end we parted as great friends and we shared custody of a poodle who has unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge.

Probably true but I feel like porn is a bigger culprit for lack of intercourse
Every time I watch Bill, my first reaction is always “oh, thank god somebody said it!”
Same
The problem is what people today are pathologising as toxic, like Liquid Death and Huel. So people are going to not pay attention when someone is calling out genuine toxicity.
Ya, he said it, but he missed the cause. The lack of movement, exercise, healthy diet, healthy habits, will drop testosterone in any man. Add the average human is far fatter then we used to be, why would we be fucking? What we need to focus on is not the lack of sex or what is masculine, we need to focus on shutting down fast food, replacing video games with physical sports a bit more, just get moving.

As a conservative (at this point, I refuse to actually use the words “Republican” and “Democrat”, because both parties are so far from where they started out), it feels a little weird to praise a liberal, but on both sides, everyone is so measured, so careful, so calculated in the way that they speak, that it’s refreshing to see someone like Bill just say what he thinks and not care what anyone thinks or says about it
Liberal just means open and fair minded... I would hate to be called a democrat or a Republican.
It’s intellectual dishonesty. It’s why the president of Ukraine is so magnetic, he’s genuine. American politicians are faking it. We know it, but our confirmation bias only allows us to see it in opposing parties. Americans need to design a bullshit detector.
@@alinaitzal1173 I agree. To me, liberal means exactly what you said, and conservative just means “doesn’t spend ridiculous amounts of money over-regulating the citizenry”. The fact that our government can’t figure out how to do both is insane to me lol

That "declining sperm count" graph animation had me dead lololol
And Bill is so spot on here. I've definitely had two women try to lecture me, on separate occasions, for simply holding the door open for them on the way into the bank. It's like "YES. I KNOW YOU CAN OPEN YOUR OWN DOOR.....I WAS JUST A STRANGER TRYING TO DO SOMETHING POLITE"
Seriously, some people need to chill out! I hold the door for strangers, too. Why do some women have to act like this is an assault on their sense of self?
That graphic almost made me fall off my chair laughing... it looked like it caught Bill off guard a bit too...
I open the door for anybody. So to me its not a problem. I see a person behind me, holds it open and walks in. Problem solved. Its funny how this is a massive debate though
@Reo Sho It's a great irony of life that few want to speak for all while not realizing no one gave those few permission to do so. This is where confusion takes root.
Also, about women who complain, men holding a door open could translate to wanting sex, and that paranoia is a whole other ball of yikes that needs to be addressed.

"No amount of training will turn us into your favorite Twilight character." LOL Bill is spot on and hilarious.
There goes my dream of sparkling in the sun and drinking blood as sustenance.
Hey Bill, when was the last time YOU satisfied a woman sexually?
You've been a Leftist figurehead promoting post modernist philosophy for decades now.
Leftists won't be happy until they desex all males at birth ... like their support pets. That is their goal.
Trump was the only President who achieved every Miss Universe's dream. Because he had an ardent Christian VP. Dubya's VP was the Military Industrial Complex. Half of Biden's $1.5t "Infrastructure" spending goes to the MIC.
Obama caused Putin to take Crimea and now Biden causes Putin to take East Ukraine. This War can end now! All you have to do is back NATO off. Kennedy didn't tolerate Russia encroaching on USA space in the 60s, why should Russia tolerate NATO now? DNP hypocrisy unlimited. Biden caused this War.
Wake up America! Biden, Harris and Pelosi are the best you've got? Bloomberg ran blocking defence to stop Sanders. Trump was hampered without both houses, so he leveraged up and threatened to expose the truth. The Elite Illuminati weaponised MSM to defeat him.

Cause Billy boy knows this, but telling the truth doesn't make him money.
I am 65 and 50 years ago, my mother was working as a researcher on studies for the Forestry Service. The government was doing research on how pollution was affecting wildlife. It was reported that there are a lot of endocrine disruptors in our environment which can harm endocrine systems of life on this planet. Endocrine disruptors like lead, mercury, plastics ( source of much pcbs) and the contamination of water with various drugs include birth control hormones. At the time my mom ( keep in mind this was 50 yrs ago), told me that water pollution had a link to newborns becoming homosexual. I at the time was dealing with a boy I had a crush on coming out of the closet and telling me he was gay. I think my mom was trying to comfort me, in a weird way. So, I said are you saying Patrick had no choice? Should I let him know that? Which she said oh no, forget I said anything! It is part of a government study and I really shouldn't have said anything. I think this was about the time homosexual behavior in Ibis in Florida were link to mercury poisoning. There is now a deformity in many fish species that are not normally Hermaphrodite, called intersex disorder caused by water pollution. Fish like the smallmouth bass, are growing eggs in their testes. This makes most sterile, and is causing a sharp decline in the smallmouth bass population. So, men and women not having a sex drive, less testosterone and progesterone? Maybe we are all becoming gender-less. Asexuality on the rise? One person I know that claims to be asexual, says no one turns her on. She has no desire for sex. She had relationships in the past, and said that she realized she rather just be alone.
Agreed on what you said regarding endocrine disruptors. Science has known about this for at least 40 - 50 years. As for asexuals, there are hundreds of thousands of us. We're here & we're queer. There's no "claiming"-I'm a 50+ yr old virgin with no sense of what it's like to even have a crush on someone. Don't have to be ashamed anymore. And I DON'T have to watch Bill Maher anymore. I keep trying, but every segment I watch now offends me. The pandemic has turned him from funny douche to not-funny, bitter UberDouche.
Male fish growing eggs in the testes? Not gonna lie, that's hilarious from a lay standpoint and fascinating from a scientific one.
@@DianaDeLuna maybe you’re part of the problem
@@DianaDeLuna Maher is not only halariously funny, but he is spot on.
As far as asexuality goes, it's probably worth mentioning that for a long time asexuals were being mislabeled as bisexuals in research because if the Kinsey scale wasn't used, both bisexuals and asexuals could fall under the description of "little/no preference" or "equal attraction to both sexes" (even if that attraction was basically 0) so now it's likely being reported more accurately. Also better sex ed helps, if people know that most people feel attraction and pleasure, and aren't thinking about it in terms of "purity" or "sin" orwhatever else, then they might be more prompted to seek an explanation when they don't feel those things.
I still dont really feel like "toxic masculinity" is a thing. Masculinity is masculinity, being toxic is being toxic. Anyone can be toxic, it's not gender specific.
Masculinity is not gender specific. Women can exhibit toxic masculinity.
@@TheAMW How about exhibiting navel gazing drivel and and preaching deliberately over-analyzed truisms? Also non gender specific?
Masculinity, men have and women have it too depending on the person. In my opinion, the toxic part comes in when it is used to project bullying behaviour, mentally or physically.
1000%
However, this is too balanced for today’s polarised society to understand and accept. There has to be a debate.
It is a thing. There are plenty of instances in my country. There are degrees to it though which is should be acceptable, but beyond a certain level it can be borderline monstrous.
It’s possible to be a man who’s compassionate, kind, sensitive and loving AND be ready to stand your ground and defend when necessary.
My WWII Medic Grandfather is an example.
I like to think of myself as a little more rugged than the average lefty.
Consistent with the professed long-term desired “hard exterior soft interior” “type” expressed as what a woman wants. In the short term they do not want that kind of guy depending of life stage and circumstance, in my opinion.
Exactly. Women don't want big asshole dudes that go around picking fights. But they doesn't mean they don't want men that are "lethal", in the sense that they're willing to fight and die for family when the wolf is at the door.
I was lucky enough to find one. As usual, Bill misses the mark.
mmmm
Yes I agree and there is also a deep rooted attraction to someone who is tough, can provide and protect you and your family, handy and strong. This is just nature ingrained in us, what we needed to survive. I'm a woman who spends weeks alone hunting in the woods and if I am successful you wouldn't believe how much that turns women on. All of a sudden I get a lot more attention and women are gushing over me. It's so weird, I was like wow, our animal instincts are still very much alive.
"So put in a little effort, you stupid, lazy f**ks!" Great line with which to end a segment. 😂
So I can get charged with sexual harassment, no thanks.
“Put in a little effort you stupid lazy fucks” just had me almost spit my coffee out from laughing so suddenly. 🤣
Targeting incels is key, since they want to make such a community of their own inability to get laid.

There have been A LOT of Ukrainian women who have wanted to fight or have been actively fighting to defend their country.
The other reason for less sex would be that in America it's kinda hard to find time to date when everyone needs 3 different jobs to afford rent and gas
And in states like TX, ain’t no one taking a chance of making any babies.

I’m entirely certain that at one of those jobs, there’s a loose coworker and a stockroom to do them in 😂

I don't think Bill understands the difference between male toxicity and manliness. Volodymyr is both war leader and loving family man. And yes he's muy caliente. Women are leaving the country because they are bringing out with them the children and the elderly to care for. Don't forget the Ukrainian Army has 36,000 women in active combat, more than any standing army in the world.
Plus men are turned back at the border.
Thank you. One of the few in the comments that I agree with what the difference is between toxic masculinity and manliness.
What’s the difference between toxic and masculine, Zelensky isn’t doing “family man” anything? His wife and children left and rather than playing poppa he’s stayed behind in a warzone to fight or die. A war leader is someone involved in war are you saying war and violence are associated manliness? Women are fleeing because they don’t want to fight. Women are not physically built to compete with men. Wtf is manliness? Being a man is being willing to stare death in the face, suppress your emotions, grab your pair, and face it head on with no fear. Toxicity isn’t a thing, it’s completely subjective and it’s that rhetoric of wanting to pass on your duty, your job to women that is what’s turning us into a society of useless men.
@jimstr10 Source? From all that I have read wife and children remain in Ukraine. He doesn’t have to choose between “playing poppa” and leading the country. He can lead the country and be strong and have his family show solidarity by not leaving. Some women are fleeing. Some are remaining to fight. The Ukrainian people have a strong sense of pride and will fight their occupiers no matter their gender. Some have no choice but to leave with their children but they don’t feel good about it. Most women who are fleeing are not doing so bc they don’t want to flight but bc the have an obligation to keep their children safe. Courage and determination is present in every Ukrainian. Glory to Ukraine
@@jimstr10 Ahem. Got your facts wrong. 1) His family stays in Ukraine. 2) we know difference between a good man and a toxic one. 3) again I remind you the Ukrainian army has more women in active combat that any in the world. This does not detract from a man's manhood. 4) Zelenskyy being a leader does not make him a war monger. My father was a gentleman but not in war. Get the difference? 5) you are conveniently ignoring that women are primary caregivers for children and the aged, assuming many pro-social roles, plus are the reason you exist ~ don't forget. Good day to you.
The "more sex and less gender" line was absolutely perfect.

I never really thought about it until my wife brought it up. We have a little boy who’s now 7 but when he was about 3 or 4 she was really upset because Of how popular culture was framing all men and boys as being predisposed to violence and toxic masculinity. She couldn’t believe that there are people and a popular thought that he was destined to be horrible to people. Frankly I never gave it much thought but seeing her feeling damn near guilty pissed me off. Enough of this bs. Toxic men raise toxic men. We need good strong men just as much as we need mothers for our children
Definitely! Good men raise good men.
Most boys are prone to low level violence. Show me a boy who does wrestle or play rough. It's bred into us, and we learn to keep it under control as we get older.
100% gold. As Abraham Lincoln wrote "Right makes Might". If a boy is raised with a strong family values and strong belief in principled morality then strength will stem through the core of his soul when he becomes a full grown man. This is not toxic masculity. This is virtue we're talking about.
Okay, Esther Perel - world famous clinical psychologist and relationship therapist - with a husband and two sons of her own - talks about this frequently - and on you tube - (and also one of founding feminists in the 60's always said this too) - that we've had the women's revolution where we've come a long my way but there's still work to be done. BUT we (women, men, people, the world) need a MEN'S revolution of sorts to. What's needed isn't to neuter men or make men and women the same or make women dominant, but to understand the differences, make equality of opportunity but not eliminate merit, and have and do what we all need to thrive.
We need "strong" independent women AND men. Why would it be any other way? Steven Covey says the goal in relationships isn't codependency it's interdependence and to have that, both people need to be independent (independent so you can be interdependent).
And some people nontoxic parents raise serial killers.
I was raised as a nice guy, but I've been trying to become a good man. I think the big key a lot of men in my generation are missing is to put a low priority on entertainment and a high priority on learning how to do stuff/competence
You have absolutely nailed it there. Women like men who CAN DO STUFF! And men like themselves when they CAN DO STUFF! But there is so much entertainment in our hand now (phones, people) that young men have lost the need to DO STUFF. I think Maher was spot on. BUT YOU WERE SPOT ON-ER!!
💯 I hate theatrics, just be a competent human being. That’s is sexy in itself and no one likes superficial people. Huge turn off!
I disagree. Women are capable of doing a lot more these days than in the past, and for those things they can't do, they have money they can use to pay someone to do it for them. As men, we have to compete constantly for women's attention nowadays because of the mobile phone. She's not even going to be paying attention to you while you fix that broken sink for her--she's going to be on the phone texting with Rick from the gym. If you're not more entertaining than that screen in front of her, good luck buddy
Coast City you couldn't be more wrong
.... There is no exclusivity between being a nice guy and a competent man... You don't trade one for another.

We are expected to do it when the moment comes, but no longer appreciated for that readiness the rest of the time. People are just too disconnected from the realities that made certain patterns emerge. But then, as they say, there are no feminists on a sinking ship.
Just today I read news about a woman suing for "sexual discrimination" because she wasn't allowed to bare her chest in public, on the grounds of men being allowed to show theirs. (Not opposed to more liberty per se, but her reasoning simply denies obvious differences.)
All the while her supporters commented on the fact that only men are not allowed to leave Ukriane and forced(!) into a fight to the death based on their gender was brushed off as "serves them right for inventing wars". That's "fighting for equality" for ya.
Zelensky is also one of the very few people who said a flat "NO!" to Donald Trump.
No he didn't. You just made that up.
And “There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution, and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great,” was an accurate, credible and reasonable statement.
No he didn't. Lol.
HAHAHA did Zelensky said “no” when Trump talked about Ukraine’s corruption during Zelensky’s meeting. Time to look at the flashback.
I'm sorry, I didn't hear about Zelenskys conference with the US attorney general about Joe and Hunter Biden. BTW. You left out the "Do us a favor though....."
Zelensky on corruption in the Ukraine in response to Trump:
"It’s not that those things don’t exist. They do. All branches of government were corrupted over many years, and we are working to clean that up."
There is no "inherent toxicity" with men. There are people who do good things and those who do bad. Judge them solely on their actions. Not creating a prejudice against all men, because somehow personal accountability is a foreign concept.
There should be personal accountability but if a part of society has a problem then you also need to look at social accountability.
@@gayeenglund1907 I could see this thought process if say we followed some of customs of the middle east. Ex: women hit with rods when in public, made to wear certain clothing, etc.
However, I think western countries use "societal issues" as a scapegoat for the actions of scumbags and criminal behavior.
Lmfao where is the prejudice against all men? Victimhood is not a masculine trait.
@@gayeenglund1907 Yeah, that's also true. What a society values shows up in how its kids are raised educated and socialized. People ARE responsible for their own actions and behaviors BUT they can and do internalize the values of the societies they grow up in too. And if those values are wrong and harmful, they are only corrected to the degree and when the individuals who grew up with them are able to gain self awareness and deliberately choose and change otherwise.
An example of this is my growing up in a well meaning but authoritarian, sexist, slightly mysoginist household. After becoming an adult it took me years to realize and correct the compliant, unassertive, people pleasing doormat I was raised to be. - Because society had raised my parents to think women and girls should be so that they raised me that way in the first place and thought they were doing the right thing.
This is seen in homosexuals too. People were raised in the 20th century in a society that didn't understand human sexuality and where homosexuality fit into that. It was seen as a mental disorder, sin, even a crime (and still is in many societies - I think it's still illegal in 10 countries including Russia oddly enough).
Even in America to this day homosexuals can struggle with overcoming self loathing they've grown up internalizing from their families, church, and culture's attitudes and beliefs about homosexuality. Families and communities and certainly some churches STILL exist that cast out any member that comes out as gay. I mean there are STILL closed gays cuz they don't want to bear the price coming out will cost them. And there are people who come out in their old age after living a lie their lives at their own cost and suffering (and often their straight spouse's and kids' suffering too).
I'm not here to wave the pride flag (though there's nothing wrong with that) I'm just using the personal and individual struggles with recognizizing homosexuality as perfectly okay as a very good example of the problems AND INFLUENCE that cultural and societal values can have on children and people / society in general.
@@aubreyjames8795 Well, by calling it toxic masculinity implies that by its very nature, men are toxic. Sounds like prejudice to me.
People being prejudice is not a direct signal of a person being victim. It's the act of accusing everyone in a group of people of bad behavior, due the actions of a few.
Preach it, Bill - I am so sick of us telling men they can't be, well, men. Just because some men are low-lifes doesn't mean we can't celebrate and honor legitimate, non-toxic masculinity that gets crap done! I appreciate that my husband's instinct is to fix and protect - I don't find that toxic, it's hot!.
Yeah well his point about it being ultimately on men is ridiculous. After about 20 seconds of a conversation with a young woman these days the indoctrination is so obvious and overwhelming you'd rather be talking to a brick. Best advice is go overseas and find a woman that still isn't brainwashed and has some traditional sensibilities and values. There are still actual strong women looking for strong men.
Slipper slope doesn't even begin to explain what the West went through over the last 50 years. It's going to take generations or real culture war to dig out of this hell.
It's a fun rant, but gotta say, it's pretty ironic he's basing his whole "toxic masculinity is a good thing" rant on how brave Volodymyr Zelenskyy is, but we wouldn't have to endure this war if the dude attacking him wasn't such an egomaniac. I'd argue Putin is the poster child for "toxic" masculinity: Impulsive, irrational, driven to violence. I don't think anyone's definition for toxic masculinity would come close to what Volodymyr Zelenskyy is exemplifying: dignified, brave, measured...
Yes, it's Maher having fun but please don't tell women who they fancy...Zelensky???!!! Not me.
@@brentsievers What that means is it is the same masculinity that attacks and it is the same that defends represented by Russians and Ukrainian men, world is full of grey my dude it is not black and white, Men and Women are different it just evolution and some of the traits in masculinity is toxic and so is some trait on femininity but in the west from kindergarten only is treated as a problem to be dealt with and the other is ignored, at the end of the day women like strong and brave men and there is nothing anyone can do about it

I don't always agree with him either. BUT I am glad that someone like him is standing up and speaking common sense.
I think a lot of the drop-off in sex can be attributed to how freaking overworked Americans are and how stressful our lives have become trying to get by and get ahead. We work longer hours for less net gain and usually in a family both parents work FT now. It's difficult to get amped up for sex when all you really want to do is fall asleep watching TV on the couch.
This.
And the interbet changing habits. i I mean i did it for a while and know tons of people who do. Just come home and sit on the internet. Dont go out anymore. No friends.
Depends on your job. Many of us have jobs that weren't a thing 30 years ago. I do desktop support and coding. Im sitting at a desk in my office at home for 10 hours. When I'm done I want to go walking, go to the gym, play some guitar, etc.. And later on have some sex. 4 days working, 3 days off.
Now if you work construction, yeah you got a point. I did that in my twenties and seen it destroy my dad and step dad over the years physically. They were both as you describe, come home drink beer, eat, go to sleep. I got out. Just glad jobs are available.

Very true!
This is the flashpoint of the country's pendulum swinging back from the hard left, toward the middle again. Note that nearly every New Rules closer, the last 6 months, has all been rooted with leftist fundamentals as what is being dragged in the mud. These are *all* right-wing rebuttals and gripes, just presented politely and witty through the mouth of a beloved classic liberal. And that is fine. Liberals need to speak up when it comes to the fringe on the left. Because right now, the fringe's ideas are the MAINSTREAM DOCTRINE of the entire left. Time to swing back. It was inevitable anyway. These phases are maximum 15 years, as history has shown. People get tired of the browbeating and lunacy, and change. Last time was the evangelical "moral majority" social grip of the 80's into the 90's.

Inventing new genders and other mindgames is not part of that biology, it's an unfortunate side effect from a prospering society that has too much time on their hands.
I'd welcome any female colleagues, but they don't seem to want to become trashman/women, i wonder why....
Bingo, this is how I raised my daughter.
There are plenty of women these days who seem to have a constant chip on their shoulders towards men in general. I was admonished for holding a door open for a lady (as I always do) when she quipped "I can open my own door" and then got even more upset when I replied "yes ma'am". As if somehow I was implying that she wasn't able to open a door, being a woman and all. I didn't respond after her outburst, instead just let her continue living a miserable life.
But this is becoming more and more common, as masculinity in general seems to have been lumped in with the toxic side. There are still things in our DNA as men that we do better than women, and vice versa. Recognition and respect from both sides is the key, and I'm not sure we are heading in that direction as a society.
In Canada it's normal for people to open doors for each other. Could be either a man or a women that will open it for you. The most important thing though is to say "Thank You" rudeness will not be tolerated. Anyways now you know.
We aren't. Absolutely not heading in that direction. It's getting obtuse & wild.
I had this happen once. I just said "oh okay" and shut the door in her face as I walked in.
That just sounds like a rude person to be honest. Depends on how you did it though. If it was clear the you did it only because she was a woman I would get irritated too but if you do that for everyone (as you should) it was just rude behavior by her
Ah Bill, Zelenskyy is hot because he’s a hero, he’s the truest public servant, willing to die for his country. That level of commitment and that level of bravery is hot. There’s nothing toxic about it.
That’s sort of the point. You can’t get that sort of loyal devotion if you throw out all masculinity. Not sure you understood his caffeine analogy
If it wasn’t for masculinity at high levels, you’d be either British or German.
He’s hot because he’s not a Trumper. He’s not a cowardly authoritarian. No Modern Republican could ever be this attractive
Except I don't think Pajama Boy could pull it off.
@@JC18630 yeah, it's society that lumps the two together. I'm pretty sure Bill is saying that the problem is that positive masculine qualities are being called toxic just because they are masculine. I don't think he's revering toxicity or saying that that is what women are attracted to.
You certainly managed to get both sides on this issue. Good job. Although, I worry the testosterone level is affected by our food supplies, also.

Just had this “conversation “ about masculinity yesterday. He makes excellent points. Love Bill.
Bill was very correct when he said that today guys asking a girl out is seen as aggressive. I have seen several posts on social media lately of girls asking for advice. It was different people with the same question. Seems a young man asked a girl out on 2 different occasions. The girl said no twice, then asked if she should report the guy to the police for sexual assault. I asked if the males had put their hands on them at any point or said anything offensive. Both said no. I then told them that the guys didn't do anything wrong, they just simply expressed an interest in taking them out. Well...the responses I got from lots of people made it seem as if I had just told the gals to lay back and enjoy it. Total, absolute insanity. So, watch it guys...not sure how you're supposed to ask someone on a date anymore. This has turned into a very bizarre world.
In which country was this if I may ask? I live in South Africa (well at least for now) and this sounds outright bizarre.
@Deborah King, yup and this is exactly why men and women aren't having as much sex. Men are afraid (not of women) but of being accused of rape, sexual harassment, or some other type of abuse simply for expressing their attraction or mere interest.
And yes, I understand that cat-calling and other such behavior can be problematic (although some women actually enjoy cat-calling if done a certain way) but merely asking a woman out or even just voicing how attractive we think she is, in my opinion, is not wrong in any way. All she has to do is say she's not interested and that's it, both parties move on.
It's like people today have forgotten that we are, at the most basic level, biological beings. And biological beings have instincts, including the instinct to engage in sex. But it turns out that we are now trying to criminalize this instinct. It's really a sad thing.
@@GiDaOne America. It seems that we have a LOT of problems these days.
@@deborahking5610 Well I get why it in some circumstances it can be a problem. The issue is that if a guy does it in a non-empathetic way, the lady can get uncomfortable, and I understand that can border on harassment (especially if he doesn't back off). But even so, rejection is inevitable in such encounters, and even if done right it can be uncomfortable for both parties. I guess that some people take that inevitable discomfort as something that should be avoided and therefore labels it as harassment even though it's not.
@@juanlambda27 Interesting thing about the cat-calling: I think it's cultural. Both cat-calling as well as the negative way we mostly view it in the West. I'm not a woman but I can imagine it's like shining a big bright light on somebody who just wants to be left alone. You can't assume that somebody suddenly wants to be the object of attention especially if you're just walking to the shop or something. So I understand the negativity around this.
But I remember meeting a Colombian lady some years ago in Germany. She was amazed that the German guys didn't flirt with her in public - in Colombia, that was apparently the norm, and she actually enjoyed it. In Germany, you keep your distance, at least in public. Culture plays a big role in these things.
The writing for this was insane. Well done!
That last line lol!
What makes Zelenski sexy is more than him being a charismatic leader, tough, heroic, brave and a "man's man" - he's also funny, intelligent, successful, heart-full, and a loving father and husband - (plus a leader of a country and not in his 70s), and that's why women are swooning again. He is the manifestation of the new definition of power and balanced masculinity. Thank god men have someone admirable to look to who manifest those qualities to a sublime degree. Putin (and his ilk) are The Old, Zelenski is The New.
Excellent comment, and so much more to the point than Bill's lazy, stereo-typed and old-fart grievance-fuelled rant disguised as comedy. The only funny thing in this bit was when the graphic collapsed from being flaccid. And that was surely designed by his staff.

@@aktob316 I shouldn’t have to say this, it should be obvious, but “toxic masculinity” doesn’t mean that men are toxic or that masculinity is de facto toxic. Rather, it means that extreme forms of traits traditionally associated with masculinity, like aggression and stoicism, are toxic. Rightwingers, however, like to pretend the phrase is an attack on men because it’s a quick way of derailing a conversation about rigid gender norms, and allows them to pretend that feminism is some sort of plot against men.
Feminists don't hate men, they hate the patriarchy. Which is a system that hurts, and often kills, women as well as men.

Just as right wingers, you're also FEIGNING ignorance about the Feminists that actually hate all men.

Also consider that a lot of the guys who use this line to diss the younger generation grew up in America's economic golden age following WWII. They aren't necessarily the strong men. Their dads were.

I love how some people are finally seeing what normal people have been pointing out for years. Though pro-woman/pro-girl recognition has been a good thing we've raised a whole generation of little boys who've never seen anything pro-man/pro-boy. In fact they've seen just the opposite. Boys wanting to be more like girls because girls are now the epitome of goodness. Masculinity is not toxic in of itself. Masculinity is what makes men be brave, to protect those they love with their lives, to be strong for the weak. When those parts of masculinity are used to hurt others it's not because masculinity is bad it's because as a child this person raised without a good, moral male role model.
There is more to this. The horrible diets and condition most people are in (most western countries are at around 75% overweight or obese with terrible diets and most have no exercise as part of there life). Some of this is of a direct consequence of the movement to needing both people in a marriage to work for so many more families then before. There have been a lot of consequences to the changes, some for the better and some for the worse. But for some reason the worse is discouraged from being discussed and it isn't just going to go away.

Absolutely. Vladimir Putin is aging like a banana and is an evil rotten war-mongering son of a bitch. Volodymyr Zylenski is handsome and unlike a lot of presidents and prime ministers knows the importance of being able to stand and fight for his country. Similarly; Taiwan's president Tsai-Ing Wen proves in a region that is rather patriarchal that women are just as capable as men of running a country.
Zelensky isn't any kind of example of 'toxic' masculinity though, like Bill seems to suggest. He's just straight up masculine. Putin on the other hand..
I don't think most women have a problem with good, positive masculinity.
He didn't say that, or even suggest that. He said that Zelensky manifests masculinity, as he certainly does, but there is pressure in the contemporary society to rid men of their natural impulses that define them as men because they _may_ cause toxic behavior towards women and other people, but at the end of the day, that ultimately does not help anybody, especially women who find what men have become after that conditioning unattractive.
Dude, he is straight up killing Russians and sending the women away so the men can be left alone to do it. There is nothing more "toxic" than that, and it's great
@@musikinspace His country is being invaded. Of course he's defending himself. That's not an example of toxicity.
@@clayman1980 Seems to me he suggests it in the line "You can think masculinity is toxic, or you can think Z is awesome, but you can't do both." Sounds like he's equating toxicity with masculinity in a way that I don't think women actually do.
I agree with your point about "pressure in the contemporary society to rid men of their natural impulses" but I don't think Z is counter example to this. If you were to use him as a counter example you'd have find a group of people that think his behavior is toxic - something I haven't heard anyone say.
@@johnnyjohnny2650 Exactly. I can only speak for myself, as one woman, but I think Zelensky's masculinity is the opposite of toxic - he is honest and modest, and was not afraid to ridicule himself as a comedian. Contrast that with Putin and you get the difference between positive and toxic masculinity.
We live in an era where common sense is seen as brave. We really let the crazies take control of the media...

I’ve never had to play your episodes over and over again. The BEST one of all time Bill Maher!
Bill you are always on point and have great
intelligent humor.
Who gets to be the first woman to accuse Bill of "mansplaining" here?
Lol... Is it really mansplaining when a lot of things he said are just reaching A to Z? I mean, it's full of confirmation bias.
I mean, dude just literally turned a human disaster in Ukraine into his issue. Get a life, man.
I know Bill really does not have the time to go into deep dives, so I don't really hold it against him. There's also that group of us who just don't want to hook-up or have the time, money and energy to try to deal with the stress of trying to even get a girls attention. I'm a true introvert and very shy. Always have been. It's really gotten worse over the last few years. I would just as soon stick my hand in the conveyor belt gears at work than talk to the cute girl next to me.

@@greg3087 Transgenderism is 1. Women's rights and the supposed wage gaps also come to mind. Climate change. I could go on and on I'm sure. Gnaw on these examples and try not to cry-
Bill shows he doesn't understand what toxic masculinity *really* means
Yes. Being a good strong kind man who is against corruption and wants to protect his land and people, including the women amd children are all positive qualities that zelenski showed even before this war. It was just people didn't know whether to believe him before. Now it is clear he was sincere. And that kind strength is very sexy in a positive way. He is a poster boy for positive masculinity which has always been a thing, but it gets ignored.
@@wordzmyth Absolutely! Some traits traditionally associated with masculinity are positive, like being a protector or being strong, as you said.
Toxic masculinity is just as bad for society and women as it is for men too.
Toxic masculinity is not being allowed to show emotions because of perceived weakness, it's not crying or having feelings -let alone showing them- because you'd be a "beta".
This cannot be good for the mental health of boys raised that way.
We're the products of our societies. Our fathers and forefathers weren't exactly very generous in the "I love you" or "I'm proud of you" departments but that's not excuse to turn into a feckin incel or terrorist; even we don't and can't control everything, we all have some degree of personal responsibility and free will in how we turn out. Thanks for your reply Annora :)
I don’t think he was praising the actual toxic masculinity traits. He was more referring to how a movement to rid itself of toxic traits, basically consumed a majority of the positive traits too.
@@Brody400 Thanks for your input, Caveman! You're right, though I'd argue the two aren't mutually exclusive...
He amalgamated strong and positive masculinity but he 's right in his critics of these women who want to have their cake and eat it. "Be careful what you wish for" sort of springs to mind when thinking about those complaining about men being softer, or more open to share their feelings...
Toxic masculinity doesn't mean masculinity itself is toxic, but that *toxic* masculinity is toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to a very specific mindset that is tied to what society perceives as masculine, it is not really what masculinity is or should be
Exactly. He’s acting like masculinity and toxic masculinity are the same thing. I expected Bill to be smart enough to understand the difference. This whole clip was very disappointing.
Putin is toxic masculinity. Zelensky is nontoxic masculinity. It’s really that simple. Not sure why this is a difficult concept to grasp
Your are making this shit up as you go
@@eachday9538 yes, notice it doesn't even bear explaining.
@@RatPfink66 I can do it too: "Putin is blablurblebla bad. Zelensky is gibblygobbly good"
I don't think anyone is saying the Ukrainian guy is being toxic - it's Putin who is displaying toxic masculinity by starting a war to show other what a tough guy he is.
Putin would ruine his point. Little shallow man witha ego problem bullying pepole.
Putin didn’t start the war. He’s intervening in a civil war.
That’s right. And Maher doesn’t get women. Never did.
There is always going to be the bully…or criminal….who protects people from/fights them?
@@rick3461 Whatever you say, Ivan
This rant sounds like it comes from a guy that is part of that 1/4. How is Zelensky toxic? putin is toxic, refuses to listen and wont admit he was wrong because that would make him seem like less of a man.
Exactly! Zelensky strikes me as warm and compassionate.....aren't those feminine traits? Zelensky is a mans man AND he's not a one dimensional emotional cave man. THATS what women want.
In case you are not up with the woke definition of “toxic masculinity” is everything pertaining to a man behaving masculine. From how he looks, to complementing a woman to approaching her to ask her on a date. All the woman has to do is say she felt uncomfortable and hell ensues.
@Dona Mills Yeah, some folks on the left take things too far in the way you mention (and some on the right take things too far the other way as an over reaction to them) For me though (I'm on the left) I think it's also masculine to care about your family by doing more than just working to pay the bills (which is also important). Masculine is being secure enough to rock your child to sleep or gently soothe their scraped knee or spend time and have a tea party with your little daughter. Being confident enough to show their sorrow at the death of friends instead of hiding it for fear they might be mocked for crying at a funeral. Brave enough to say "I love you." and mean it. Secure enough in their sexuality not to have to prove anything to anyone one way or the other. They know who they are and that's all they need. Strength. Confidence. Independence.
I get the feeling Zelensky would do all these things......and yes, he will fight and die for them as well.
That's a real man.
I think rather than calling it toxic masculinity we should call it limiting masculinity. Men can't ever be sad, Never afraid, Never do anything that could be mocked. Never show weakness of any kind. Never admit not knowing how to do something. Never take advice. They must live in the small box society has created for them. I know a lot of guys like this.....most of them are older men who grew up a certain way. I think that was a disservice to them.
The left has things to learn and so does the right. My friend, lets meet in the middle and make it happen.
I'm going to make a nice dinner for my wife, clean the kitchen, tell her I love her and then go to the gun range. (seriously)
10000%. I’ve been singing this song for decades!!
No one claimed masculinity is toxic by its existence, it was always about the discussion of what aspects of masculinity are toxic but chuds have this weird interest in oversimplifying the problem, probably to avoid having to examine their own behaviors. Introspection is hard.
Putin: Toxic masculinity.
Zelenskyy: Non-toxic masculinity.
If that doesn't make it clearer, I don't know what will.
"Putin: Toxic Masculinity, Zelenskyy: Non-Toxic Masculinity"
Damn, thats a good example.
How about,
Putin: a$$hole

Disturbing how often men and women who have never fought on a battlefield end up being the biggest cheerleaders for war.
I've fought a war, and will say war fucking sucks. If the world could go without fighting ever again, I would be happy. But I'm also a realist. Humans are violent, emotional, illogical creatures of passion, greed, and selfishness. Si vis pacem, para bellum! By being the biggest, baddest mother fucker on the block you actually deter violence and war. See Russia right now. They would have already been stomped into the ground if they didn't have nukes. Heck, they probably would have never invaded Ukraine if they didn't have nukes.

Goddamn right! There Bill goes again, preaching everything I’m thinking.
The sex drought is due to stress. Everyone has so much stress in their everyday lives, it's at a toxic level so sex drives decrease.
It's become too expensive to live and that effects every aspect of our lives. Stress from your job. Corporations actually expect employees (who really have no stake in whether the company makes money or not), to think of them like a family, work more than 40 hrs with no increase in pay then expect you to give 100% and increase that by 10% every year then hold it against you in your annual review of not met. How is that possible. You're treated like a child. No wonder sex is down. Who has any energy, confidence or self esteem left?
We need to demand and build better, more affordable, happier lives to increase desires for sex.
This is also true. Hoping to someday escape the corporate world for the reasons you very clearly expressed.
Well shit, when I'm stressed out, I reach out to my lady friend and bang it out for a week.
Lots of people have been stuck with the kids at home, and caring for elderly parents more, weight gain from stress, people have to feel pretty and relaxed before they feel like being intimate with their partner. Others aren't meeting people to have a partner because you can't have love at first sight wearing a damn mask, and socializing has dropped over the last 2 years. It is crazy, and it's making people go crazy lacking affection and human touch, even if they don't realize it.
10% increase in your annual review?! Oh how I wish! ^_^

I don't know what "intersectional feminist" is, and I don't bother with word salad. But I'm sure that zelensky is a feminist. Take a look at his wife. No non-feminist man would get with a tough chick.
Yeah, I don't like sexual predators either.
I’ve never heard that term. What does it mean?
Nobody has ever heard anyone say that in a conversation.
wow I feel better, I have had sex in the last year. never thought I'd be on the winning side of these kinda things.

He has changed so much that i am here listening to him , and i am considered to be a far right im actually a conservative libertarian and that does exist .
Wrong! After they canceled his first show back in 2004, and then doing the movie "Religulous" where many Muslims didn't exactly welcome his project with open arms, he has become a total IsIamophobe and pro-Zionist, even though Israel is an APARTHEID country--which he denies by the way, in the same manner a Nazi would deny the HoIocaust!

The decline in sex is directly related to the increase in mental anguish of recent years. It's a massive mental health problem! And yes, male energy is a beautiful thing, especially when combined with a healthy emotional intelligence.
Agreed....that, and the fact that we're fucking exhausted all the time. I come home from work everyday and to be honest, I'm rarely in "the mood" -im too tired and stressed out and just wanna lie down for a bit and close my eyes so I can relax for a few minutes without someone bugging me about some bullshit.
Hil Pei it also has to do with American women being incredibly fat and unpleasant and not being worth approaching. Takes 2 to tango here.

i don't think Bill reads these. He isn't that type.
ngl that was just cringe ^^ like who is he talking about ? he is spend to much time on twitter ngl
yeah writers might be in drought too ..
I think hes misunderstood what toxic masculinity is.
And Im sure many other people have too.
Its not that masculinity itself is toxic, its that it can become toxic.
Hes an easy example:
Putin: Toxic
Zelenski: not toxic
Agreed. But speaking as a millennial guy, we weren't given many clear "non-toxic masculinity" examples. We were just raised being warned about everything that is toxic.
If you're only told when you're wrong, and rarely told when you're right, you tend to just regress.
Has he done this rant just based on some Twitter posts?
I understand the instinct to recoil at criticisms of "toxic masculinity," but I realized I didnt need to hold on to the social pressure to force, to stonewall, to dominate and to rage
The part of me that defended the weak, was honest, asserted what is right and moral, and balanced and worked, those parts of me made me a good man and werent criticized
Im going to be blunt: grow up
Just because the lady didnt tolerate or like creeps doesnt mean she hates all men and doesnt mean shes telling you to stop being a man

Happy weekend everyone
I don’t want to admit how close to home this is hitting!
I'm sorry Bill, but before the war, Selensky was the type of guy you're complaining about. You can't judge if someone is a brave man or not until it gets really serious. I know an Austrian sea captain, he lives with his mother and has a bit of the attitude of a nobleman, this man supplied Split and other ports at night and new moon from sea during the Yugoslav war while the Serbian cannons were waiting for him and his crew.
So you're saying that this sea capitan helped overthrow a legitimate government 🤔
Bill doesn't let facts get in the way of making controversial statements. He's gone from being a decent commentator and panel host to being someone addicted to controversy. He completely ignored that men were required to stay and that despite that fact, 15 percent of the Ukraine army are women. That was an inconvenience however to the rhetoric he was slinging. He's just defending himself now because he knows we've labeled him sexist, which he is.

I don't know where this came from. As if Maher is the personification of macho. Zelensky is a regular guy. Putin is the "man's man," the "stud" who poses with his shirt off. The unassuming Zelensky keeps at his post as the Russian army closes in and despite the very real possibility of being assassinated. Studmuffin Putin is afraid to get nearer than shouting distance of his own advisors.
^^ THIS. Exactly this. Would give you 100 thumbs up if I could.
The toxic masculinity all those hated "feminazis" have been complaining about all along is the kind that gave us frigging PUTIN.
Zelenskyi didn't feel the need to ride shirtless to prove how much of a "man's man" he was. He chose a career in comedy after getting a law degree and didn't take himself too seriously. Watch old clips of him doing Ukraine's "Dancing with the stars" and he wears a costume that's basically PINK. Who of those "real men" Maher talks about would have the balls to do that? And when the war came, Zelenskyi rose to the occasion with impeccable courage, but he's not the kind of braggart "rah rah hero". I mean just listen to how he speaks. He's always kind, and feels for people's losses. He's also resolute BUT THAT'S NO CONTRADICTION.
Why do people always think, that men can't be kind AND resolute if necessary? Zelenskyi is exactly what progressives and feminists would see as a good, modern man. No wonder so many think he's irresistibly sexy. That's because he's exactly the OPPOSITE of the toxic overly "masculine" braggadiocious guy.
This has some serious grandpa vibes to it, but he's not wrong. Lol
Yeah he is. Very wrong. This smells like the “Cuomosexual” media-hype all over again. Men in corporate media fawning all over him & sexualizing him the way Bill is doing zelensky here.
Remember that? Cuomo was the “greatest thing ever” when he actually LITERALLY killed a bunch of grandmas in NY state.
It’s pathetic propaganda. Stop falling for it.
Zelensky has needlessly dragged Ukraine into a STUPID WAR, ensuring death & destruction for his people. He is forcing civilian men to take up arms against a professional army, while he barks orders & escalates tension in front of green screens from the comfort & safety of his hiding places.
Zelensky is a complete fraud and truly a POS of a human being.
I sincerely hope you guys learn enough to understand that.
