Fragile Masculinity and Hypermasculine Defenses. How men use hypermasculine defenses to protect a fragile sense of masculinity.
Masculinity is something men may feel they have to earn and then constantly defend. Some men develop hypermasculine defenses to avoid being perceived as feminine, i.e. not masculine. Hypermasculine defenses reflect insecurity about masculinity. (Psychology Today)
From saying, "when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy." From “piggy” to “ugly” to “obnoxious,” the president has lobbed insults at women questioning him. One might rightly conjecture that he is quite insecure about his masculinity.
Now we have a UFC battle on the White House lawn, a sport where the goal to become champion is to beat up your opponent, demonstrating who IS the real alpha male. Kind of like the Caesars of Rome, who had to convince their citizens that having Gladiators surrounding them made them stronger male leaders! And as if grabbing women and insulting their looks or personality is not enough of a demonstration by the very insecure Trump, we have his comments on how hot some male physiques are:
“Look at this guy over here. I don’t know who the hell he is, but he is one hell of a specimen. This guy, this is one hell of a physical specimen,” Trump quipped, sitting next to the former NFL player. (Donald Trump) “I thought I was big until I met you, Joe, you know,” he told Thomas. “Fantastic, that’s what I like.” (Donald Trump) "I forgot to touch his leg. I didn't want to do that. But I can tell you one thing: His leg is like a rock," Trump said. "Two gold medals, wow." (Donald Trump regarding Olympian speed skater Jordan Stolz)
I do not believe Trump is a homosexual; I believe, however, that Trump is not certain himself just how much of a red-blooded heterosexual male he is. He fears strong females; he loves being in the company of hot, strong men, which I believe just proves how inadequate a male he finds himself.
Oh yeah, can you imagine how BIZZURK the MAGAS and the Republican Man-O-Sphere would become if any Democrat male politician made the same adoring comments regarding the same sex!
