It's what happens whnn you have childish mentalities running off chasing "power" without first being able to define it.
Touche.you cant be a hoe without genitals![]()

It’s not about belief, it’s very commonWhat do men believe will happen if they show a softer side?
Is that because men have more options or because they generally dgaf anymore?
It would be much better than it is now. Coming from a dude that had his share, and tried that in reverse earlier in life and took a major L.

It’s not about belief, it’s very common
Every man I know myself included has experienced a woman lose respect/insult/use whatever against you for expressing themselves.
a lot of women truly do not believe men have emotions to way that women do and cannot handle a man showing an emotion besides lust or anger
Which part? If you’re referring to ultimatums not working, then it’s that men have more options and also that men are more aware of how women operate. I anticipate dating will be horrible for the generation of little girls coming up.

Based on convos with women and experience, it's simply ignorance. whether or not someone presents themself as "stoic" is irrelevant because any reasonable human knows that all humans have emotions and feelings.What happened?
Is that because we’re ignorant to how you feel or because men generally present themselves as stoic?
That’s my biggest concern; little girls growing up seeing all this play out.
I definitely used sex for power. Repped bc you reminded me of something that might answer op's question.The problem with this is that men never really had to use sex in order to gain power. Sex was usually one of the rewards for excersising power
I think I had sex earlier than my friends who came from two parent households. I did so consciously bc, 1, I wanted to get married early and had to learn how to sort men/ figure out where I fit in, but 2, for power. Yep. When you're a young girl alone in these streets, you need strong allies. Done properly, sexual contact does indeed create allies. 
I dont think its necessarily about a 2 parent household. I think if your father is weak, even if hes in the house you're hitting the streets. Maybe not as fast as the single parent girl but she will succumb to it pretty easily.I definitely used sex for power. Repped bc you reminded me of something that might answer op's question.
Girls go through puberty earlier when there's no father in the home. They're sexually active earlier and more at risk for teen pregnancy, STDs, all that. (links available upon request)

.we are not going to do this single parent non sense. your point also brings up AGAIN, that men stunt the growth of women.I definitely used sex for power. Repped bc you reminded me of something that might answer op's question.
