Why do Englishmen seem effeminate compared to Americans?

Ultimately this accomplished nothing important and British attempts to invade New York and Maryland from Canada were repulsed.

The Battle of New Orleans a year later was much more impressive as a military accomplishment. Andrew Jackson's army defeated a larger and better trained British force in less than an hour, with only 60 casualties compared to over 2000 on the British side.

This is a war the United States started with the goal of conquering Canada whilst Britain was occupied with Napoleon, and yet, British forces occupied a large number of coastal cities. What are you talking about? The last territory conquered by the UK in that war was only given back in 1819.

Attempt to take Maryland, what?

Who is us? Only 3% of Americans today are descended from people around in 1776

This isn't true, where are you getting this from?

the colonists were British and Irish with a few Dutch thrown in, it was more like a civil war with one side on home turf and the other 3000 miles from home.
The colonists needed the French to bankrupt their economy to help to win.

Yet, Britain still failed to keep it's colonies. A victory for the Americans and French.

It is maybe about 14% at most it used to be significantly more not only as far back as 1776 but even 1980 etc..

The British population of American seems to be shrinking

America is an abstract idea and not an ethnicity and I think that is a great weakness IMHO.

Oh, yeah, post in a thread about British men being effeminate then mention the French in the same thread : epic fail ! Britain technically won most of its battles against the French e.g. Waterloo was very significant etc..

Americans know the French are a bunch of Sawed-off sissies :

Well obviously, England fought France on and off from the 12th century to the mid 19th century, 700 years, including a war that lasted 100 years.

The colonists werent French, their allies were. Feel proud of winning alongside the French lol,

Yet most Americans aren't a lot to do with and don't seem to stand the French very much.

How many Americans today, of those with ancestry actually going back to the 18th century, had loyalist ancestry?

Sorry, I did have my coffee , yet, but it seems to me that people of 100% English descent are about 8% of the USA population but since I have not finished my coffee , yet, I could be wrong but I doubt it. If one wants to add the more nebulous of English descent as in having some English ancestors then it would increase but that is disingenuous.

America is not an idea, it's a people!

They aren't

I have a theory that the bold, strong Englishmen went over to the Colonies while the weaker, more tender ones stayed in the mother country. The strong Englishmen encouraged a more masculine society, that eventually became essentially American. American men model after this, and probably the English settlers were more adventurous and had more testosterone. American culture derived from Anglo culture, mixed with African, and some Germanic. That is what makes it unique. But in England today, we can see even the physicality of Englishmen to be rather weak and frail. It's not trying to be insulting, just a theory. What do Y'all think?

Where did you get that idea from? Englishmen are no more effeminate than any other nationality. I wouldn't think of Yorkshiremen or Liverpudlians as effeminate for example.

You posted two Irishmen. Great comedians. Yes Denis Leary is Irish as both his parents were born in Ireland and Denis Leary has both Irish and US citizenship.

They just have different accents. But their accent isn't really feminen. I wouldn't say that
