I love with my girlfriend in every sense of the word. Since the day we met we have been pretty much inseparable, and she has become my closest and best friend. We can do anything together and usually do, often with a group of my friends or hers from our hometown.

But starting my first semester of college something changed, and it was no longer okay to want to hang out with her. My roomate and some guys from football call me whipped or gay. Which is fine with me I don't need to justify myself to them. Recently though my roomate (somehow) acquired a girlfriend and we had this mind blowing conversation (names have been changed, roomate in bold):

"Susie wants to hang out again."
"... So?"
"I hung out with her yesterday. I can't spend too much time with her, I don't want to get whipped like you and Bob my best friend from high school who went against the macho creed and hung out with his girlfriend so I treated him like shit and now we aren't on speaking terms."
"But you said you want a long term relationship right?"
"Ye...bu....still dude."

Maybe I'm just frustrated, but I can't for the life of me understand the mentality of guys who think girls are some kind of fuck-doll to just be used and dismissed...which I think sadly dominates today's thought. I've asked these guys why I'm whipped for actually wanting to hang out with my girlfriend and it's always the same answer, "You just can't. It cuts into "guy time." There's seems to be a trend towards guys who show affection towards their mates being viewed as whipped or even gay and un-manly. Such was not the case 100 or even 50 years ago.

Where did this blatantly chauvinistic and ignorant viewpoint come from?

Insert: There is more back story to this post than I could even imagine typing out, so some dynamics (me and my roomate for example) that seem simple are pretty complex, but don't change my original intent of this thread.
