Why do so many young people sound beta?

When I hear young guys speak now they sound like beta males. They have this very feminine and nasally voice. Has anyone else noticed this? I didnt remember guys talking like this as much when I was younger.

    The oestrogen pumped into the cows gets into their bodies through milk and turns them into hermaphrodites

    It's normal to think the younger generation are beta. A hatred of the younger generation is a common symptom of aging.

    They do things differently and reject a lot of the values of their parent's generation. It's weird and scary to older people.

    • Hmmm maybe thats it. I do see the world so different than I use to. But I feel like younger men in my day had deeper voices and spoke different.

    Please stop using "Beta" and "Alpha", they're proven not to even be real within groups of animals. It's very stupid, and makes people either feel like shit, or feel like they're the shit.

    • Im not getting into semantics idc what you wanna call them. I'm talking about the feminine voice and way of pernouncing words. You can call it whatever you want if you dont like my term but its irrelevant to the real topic.

    Its true. A generation or two of coddling children with participation trophies, anti bullying and insulating parenting and public educating promoting masculinity as toxic, encouraging trans and homosexuality has rendered a young population of androgynous high- pitch-voiced, emotionally, and intillectually crippled femboys that just parrot the post modernist buzzwords of the week, wanting to "cancel" anyone or anything that doesn't align with their neo-marxist worldview right after they call them a "nazi" or a "boomer" with a mid-puberty, gender ambiguous voice.

    Not sure but children have naturally lighter voices, you probably just didn't notice as much when you belonged to the group

    How has no one told this man that:
    1) Some men have naturally high voices
    2) Some men just like to talk like this
    3) Some men are still boys and are going through puberty, so of course they're gonna have a squeaky voice

    Don't know so much about the voice, but I'm from the younger generation and I'd agree that the men are a lot weaker than in past generations. It's quite pathetic really.

      Less traditionally masculine doesn't mean less strong??? Traditionally manly doesn't mean shit.

        There's a reason pretty much every civilization except this one since the dawn of time has valued it.

        • Chap

          What is the reason?? They're just made up. Things like religion, hierarchies and gender roles helped to push the belief that men are stronger, wiser, and overall just have more power. You haven't heard much about women doing these 'masculine' things because there are stereotypes, prejudices, and doubts about women. Women *are* in fact suppressed, and aren't talked about /nearly/ as much.

          Also, how do you know every civilization since the dawn of time valued masculinity? Do you know that masculinity and the things that come with being masculine change ALL THE TIME. It used to be manly the wear pink, and dresses were invented for a MAN. All of this categorization bullshit needs to stop. You cannot categorize things into feminine and masculine like that. Peoples hobbies, interests, /speech patterns/, what they wear, etc, have *nothing* to do with gender/masculine & femininity until people made it like that.

          Feminine doesn't equal woman
          Masuline doesn't equal man

          My point is that what was considered masculine a long time ago, is now considered feminine, and so on.

            Pretty much every society that made it to a good level of civilization had the same gender roles for men. It's almost as if evolution had something to do with it.

            Also the things assosiated with being masculine don't change all the time. That simply isn't true. I'm doing a degree in ancient history and I can tell you that there's a pretty constant base foundation for masculine values.

            Coloured clothing isn't really one of the masculine virtues though. I'm talking about being strong, brave, courageous, and willing to fight to defend whats yours. These are things that society has always held as the masculine virtues apart from perhaps in the modern day where western society is weak, decadent and decling both in IQ and fertility level.

            I agree with your very last point to a degree, but it's only in the modern world that we've basterdized gender roles, and even now there's still traditonal masculinity and femeinity.

      To be honest that's a fair point. I would rather have a beta male be known by voice than them being silent and unnoticeable.

    A lack of consistent father figures is contributing. I'm 47 and less than half of my similar aged friends are still married to their first husband, meaning father figures have been dipping in and out of their children's lives. The effect is going to be most pronounced on the sons who not only are not learning masculine traits but, more pressingly, are not being taught the importance of loyalty and family values. A real alpha wolf does not abandon his pack.

        Society rests on the shoulders of the human alphas. I resent how it has fallen out of fashion to call the breeding male wolf the “alpha” as this change in lexicon is rooted in the discovery that he does not fight other males to gain dominance. An alpha in my eyes is a strong compassionate leader, ready to defend the weak but not violent.

              You have no reason to believe that I am a furry. Furries dress up as technicolour cartoon wolves with big plastic anime-style eyes whilst I feel a deep connection to real wolves. I have no interest in Disney’s fantasy anthropomorphic wolves or dressing up as one.

              I’ve been told by my son before that people will think I’m a furry if I let my wolf side out too much and after much research into them I still don’t understand why they are used as the butt of so many online jokes. The majority of them just seem to enjoy dressing up and some are surprisingly creative in their costume designs.

        I’m not a “furry”, rather I feel a deep connection to wolves and suspect I was one in a past life.

      I just feel this categorization of people could hurt others. A woman who is naturally masculine feels she must fit the standard for women/femininity. I just feel we should live and let live; of a woman is masculine, and she is comfortable, it is natural.

    I think softer voices may have a correlation with why people today look way younger than their parents did at the same age

        Well, do you mean "feminine" as in "like a girl"? Because there isn't a specific way women pronounce words, and a specific way that men pronounce words. This is just literally the way some men naturally talk, and some just like to speak like this.
