Violence against women will never be acceptable, but in my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with traditional models. It’s just traditional masculinity.

People kind of forget that Hitler wasn't even a century ago. You bet theres still plenty of closet Neo nazis today despite what mainstream media would have you believe.

Is it really shocking? I think a vast majority of liberals tend to be within their social bubbles so they don't get exposed so often to the popular sentiment. Mysogeny and the "men in charge" philosophy has been present across cultures and borders. Countries like Saudi Arabia will probably take at least a thousand years to improve. Simply because role of men has been put on a pedestal in their society and it's not something that can be changed easily.

Being sporty, earning enough money, being in charge in a relationship - according to a survey, this is part of the image of masculinity for young men in Germany. It even goes as far as accepting violence against women. In Germany, masculinity is apparently still shaped by traditional role models, even among younger people. According to a survey by the organization Plan International, half of the 18 to 35-year-olds see themselves in a relationship as a "provider" who has the say. A third of them think that physical violence against women is okay. According to this, 33 percent of the men surveyed stated that they found it "acceptable" if they occasionally "slipped their hands" in an argument with their partner. 34 percent have already become violent towards women in order to instill respect in them, it is said.

According to the survey, the roles in heterosexual relationships are clearly allocated for young men: the man earns the money, the woman does the housework. 52 percent of those surveyed see this as their task. The partner is mainly responsible for the housework. Almost half find it important to have the last word in the relationship when making decisions, and almost 40 percent of young men would like their partner to set aside their own demands in order to have their back. About the same number of respondents would not go on parental leave for more than a few weeks.

According to the study, every second young man does not want a relationship with a woman who has already had many sexual partners. At the same time, 37 percent see it as attractive to sleep with as many women as possible. Respondents tend to be opposed to homosexuality. Almost half are disturbed when men show their gayness in public. More than 40 percent state that men who appear feminine to them "sometimes get a joke" from them.

Women were also asked about their image of masculinity in the study and the claims differ significantly. 77 percent think that every man should now know what behavior is expected of him when it comes to equality. One in four demands that men renounce power privileges. Just as many said men today have a hard time finding their role and about 20 percent would help them. About ten percent of women believe that men abuse their power and therefore need to be pressured.
