Manhood roles expect men not to have any issues that may need liberation

"So here is the question: are men less masculine, or more liberated? Are they being feminized, or humanized?­"

It's a good question, but unfortunat­ely I don't think the answer is very simple. Men are not becoming more liberated because by and large, no one has thought men have anything that they need to be liberated from. In fact, I think the traditiona­l male role was distinctly defined as not needing help or liberation at all -- it was a failure for a man to need assistance­, for the most part.
