'''Cuckoldry''' is when a man's wife/partner is unfaithful towards him. Usually, due to sympathy, unwitting cucks are not shamed, though it was a common sport in the English literary tradition (see Shakespeare) to mock such men. Witting cucks are often seen as particularly worthy of contempt, due to their perceived low status, perverted nature, untrustworthiness, and/or effeminacy.<ref>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.03033/full</ref><ref>https://www.publicmedievalist.com/cuck/</ref> In Islam, apathy with regards to having promiscuous family members is called being a [[dayuuth]].<ref>https://www.rafeeqee.com/general-islamic-principle-who-is-a-dayooth/</ref>

A ''cuck fetishist'' is a man who approves of his wife having sex with other men to pursue sexual gratification. In other words, a man who subverts monogamous practices in a way that doesn't [[polygyny|involve sleeping with multiple women]]. Wife-swappers and the like are also technically cucks, though as their fetish involves a degree of reciprocity, and they are seen as more masculine than witting cucks, they are not generally as looked down upon.

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 adjudged as being politically 'extreme' enough.

A society that caved in to the [[feminine imperative]] is said to be cucked, and men who are claimed to be [[simps]] are often labelled as 'cucks'.
