The Macho Paradigm© is the overall system of conditioning of masculine or male dominated culture, esp. here in the U.S. This is the system by which parents and society raise children, primarily boys by emphasizing macho stereotypes, expectations, behaviors, standards of emotional repression through the shaming of boys in particular that if they don't live up to these standards they are considered weak and inadequate. This is often done by a comparison to and , the condescension of femininity/female stereotypical behavior such as emotional, gentle, sensitive as the epitome of weakness. Anyone can be negatively affected by The Macho Paradigm© but most of all males are harmed by it's constant pressure it puts on them to live up to a stereotype of what a man is even if it causes pain on him or those around him. Things like chauvinism and misogyny as well as peer pressure could theoretically be traced back to The Macho Paradigm© as a root source of that programming that causes people to not only repress themselves to appear tough and cool but then to shame others into the same macho conformity. ©2014/DM
