I don't think I'd make such a big deal out of a CNN poll, though. And unless they have some historical trend data, I don't see how it shows America getting "pussified". Nor does the men comment make sense, since less than 67% of America is male, and much fewer are males over 18.

It in itself does not show how this country is being pussified, but it is just another brick in the wall. Here I will give you my top ten list why America is turning into a wimpy, nanny state;
10. Kids are not allowed to play tag in school any longer as it promotes "violence".
9. If a child brings a pair of toenail clippers to school he can be expelled
8. The mere act of drawing a play gun in a notebook can get a child expelled from school
7. Children are not allowed to have any physical altercation at school without being expelled, and/or arrested. The days of you and jimmy getting into a fight behind the annex building, getting a paddling for the event, and becoming best friends two weeks later are now gone. Now children turn to their "heros" for instruction on frustration outlets and bring a firearm to settle it.
6. Men are no longer required to suck it up, pull themselves up by their bootstraps and soldier on when things are tough. We have given everyone a safety net to protect them, and hard work and determination are frowned upon.
5. Everyone has a right to a college education, and blue collar is a dirty word. News for everyone, not everyone is cut out to go to college. The act of going to college, wasting 80k and edebting themselves to the government to acquire a degree that they most likely will not even use, is pathetic. Nobody wanted etry level, everyone has been taught that the are entitled to something better
4. Men are encouraged to get in touch with their emotional side, and allow themselves to be lead around by their nose ring in the interest of "equality". Being of strong will, and speaking with bluntness will win one the labeled an "***".
3. Words now constitute federal crimes. The simple act of uttering something under your breath, or in anger can result in federal prosecution.
2. crimes have been expanded now to increase such things as "visual sexual agression" ,where simply looking at a person can get you locked up, or "ethnic intimidation".
1. And the number one reason The United States has become pussified is that we have allowed them to regulate our Bill of Rights. When "rights" are regulated they become privileges, the meaning is quite different from that of a right. When rights become privileges you no longer have security. The men of this country have allowed this to happen all in the name of "security". Individualism is a thing of the past, and collectivism rules the day.
Collectivism inevitably leads to totalitarianism!
We can go on all day long about the pussification of this country. Want a top 1000 list?
