If that's what you think, then I definitely agree with you. A woman looking down on a man for not being "manly enough" or whatever is absolutely unacceptable. The problem is, men do not want to fight against the stereotypes of manliness. Feminists have fought long and hard (and still are fighting) to make it possible for women to lead "un-womanly" lives, but men don't really seem to want to have that fight at all. What you see more often than not, is guys complaining about how nobody allows them to be "properly manly" any more, or whatever (which is nonsense, since masculinity is still held superior to femininity).
