Except for outliers, male behavior in India can be broadly classified using four archetypes: Shravan Kumar, Ram, Shantanu, and young Bhishma. These represent an axis of male social behavior that manifests from Hindu culture and is exemplified by a gynocentric +geriatric upbringing.
Shravan Kumar is the ideal son who possesses no individuality. Everything about him is related to how good of a son he is. When he dies, boomer couple is concerned about who'll do da slaving for them now He's the gadha majdoor ITslave that hands over most of his salary to mammi.
Dashrath/Shantanu are the most abhorrent of geriatrics, who steal their sons' rightful inheritance. These are impotent men who cannot confront women in the house. Boomer who cannot confront his wife and is a terrible father who leeches off his son's income as if it were his own.
Ram- An idealist who, despite having the ability to act, chooses not to confront others in order to maintain stability. He avoids confrontation unless forced to do so. While Rama is a god or is at least supposed to be, we are not. Married jeetuz tend to play this archetype often. Obviously, We cannot convert adulteresses with stone hearts into living pious women like Rama.
A modern man who wishes to be "ram archetype" is deservedly called ghar ka kutta/jhoru ka gulam and in easier words "mauga". Such men get pushed around by both women and boomers.
Young Bhishma, The man of inaction and the worst of the lot. Despite possessing potential rivaling the gods, he chooses a mediocre life without progeny. Men who act as tools for their inferiors degrade their own gifts and deserve scorn rather than pity.
They represent the ultimate waste of potential caused by terrible fathers. A good son would've killed the tribe and bought the woman for his father. A good prince would've executed his lust-driven father for the prosperity of the kingdom. He did neither. Archetype for impotent men raised thoughtless impulsive fathers who fail to serve as role models for their gifted children leading them to squander their potential due to severe lack of decision making ability.

>We cannot convert adulteresses with stone hearts into living pious women like Rama.
Neither could he, the problem with the Rama archtype is not if we are meant to change anyone. It is about knowing right from wrong, even if we choose to be merciful. Only a retard will go out of his way to invest emotions in a whore and then complain when she is not a trad woman. Being a good guy is no excuse for being incompetent amd retarded, and blaming Ram for ideals that anons poorly understand.
A great example of this is much noted modern criticism of why he would go out of his way to prove his wife is a loyal woman (and she was, as it eas proven, because she was a pious and virtuous woman unlike sita) her entire dissapointment was that he refused to confront the chamar (unironically, not an insult, the man who crticised her character was actually a chamar, so nothing has changed)
On one hand he thought he did the right thing, and earned the right of everyone, by proving innocence of his wife. To his wife this clearly came off as his lack of faith in her, when she was nothing but virtuous. An actuall low characger woman with no virtue wont take any offence here.
Problem is the alternative was him asking his soldiers to slice of the tongue of every chamar who was insulting his wife. Will that make him a good husband? Absolutely, will that make him a horrible king, again yes, absolutely.
Rama himself has never once hidden himself away from confrontation in any situation. He was just extremely forgiving. He is an idealist, but that is possible because he has both the physical and mental strength with the moral fortitude to back it up.
Not a single jeetu exists who can ever measure up to him. Weakness and being compliant is not being rama in archtype, but rather being pushover, a bettrr term would be Yudhisthir as an archtype.

He could have just said no, and called his father out. If Bhisma did end up replacing him entire Mahabharata will be very different. Chances are the Kaurava and Pandava wont exist and an entirely reasonable bloodline would be born. No princess would ever be abducted, and if she was, Bhisma will just marry her fair and square.
Daily reminder Bhishma was watching everything that was happening to Draupadi (who almost got stripped and gang 🍇ed publicly) when he could have mid diffed everyone present. That is unforgivable and worse given how much he yaps about muh Dharma.
