In modern conservative circles in the West, and particularly among the [[alt-right]], 'cuck', is used as a pejorative term that refers to a spineless or effeminate man in general, a man who advocates progressive social policies, or a conservative who adopts a pro-racial-diversity policy, among other things. Essentially a man who isn't judged as politically 'extreme' enough. | In modern conservative circles in the West, and particularly among the [[alt-right]], 'cuck', is used as a pejorative term that refers to a spineless or effeminate man in general, a man who advocates progressive social policies, or a conservative who adopts a pro-racial-diversity policy, among other things.

Horns are still associated with cuckolds in the modern era; in some Mediterranean countries, an obscene gesture is created by extending the index and litter finger upwards and tucking in the other fingers and the thumb. This gesture is used to imply the target of the gesture has been cuckolded, and is thus often seen as an especially grievous insult. Meanwhile, in Chinese-speaking communities, wearing a green hat (戴綠帽) is the equivalalent to cuckoldry. | Horns are still associated with cuckolds in the modern era; in some Mediterranean countries, an obscene gesture is created by extending the index and litter finger upwards and tucking in the other fingers and the thumb.

Some anti-monogamy incels and anti-masculinist men don't use this word as a pejorative, claiming the motives of shaming a lack of masculinity are generally [[anti-incel]], [[vintologi|social darwinian]], or [[misandry|misandrist]]. These individuals assert that 'weak men' will always exist and are [[Jordan_Peterson#JRE_Podcast_.26_Accusations_of_Hypocrisy|necessary to value for a healthy society]], and frequently argue that forms of non-monogamy that diverge from polygyny are beneficial to incels. | |||
