The Feminism Problem (Part IV): Redefining Masculinity

“What does it mean to be a MAN?”

Not in 1950, 1850, or 400050 BC, but TODAY. What, in the midst of all of the forces we must deal with on a daily basis, does it mean to send masculine energy into the world organically? It’s not enough to think this question, or discuss it, or read about it - though that is a necessary start. One must though arrive at it in an organic, honest way. From there, we must face the pain of our realities and start to truly grow.

The Feminism Problem (Part III): Stop Objectifying Women

Masculinism. Ever hear of it? There, in fact, IS a ‘movement’ of sorts for men…but it is largely intellectual and ineffectual. It grew as a response to the feminism movement, but has gone mostly nowhere in impacting men’s lives. Mostly, there is the appropriate advocacy of men’s rights via the judicial system. But, what we’re discussing here in this series is something much different.

Lets talk about stopping “objectifying” women and how it is the first phase of real development for men.

The Feminism Problem (Part II)

If Part I of this series of articles on Feminism focused on the problem, this article will focus on the solution. (If you haven’t read part I, click the link above and read it. Do not read Part II unless you have read Part I).

In fact, this series could perhaps be titled a bit better, as:

• The Masculine Problem
• The Decline of Masculinity
• How To Be A Man

The Feminism Problem (Part I)

I cannot help but notice a startling consequence that seems to occur in intimate relationships between men and women. Since the rise of feminism, the divorce rate has dramatically increased and men are quietly developing an unhealthy anger towards women, a resentment at a new disenfranchisement - the unfairness and inequality in the cultural, social and dating circles which is profoundly stacked against men. We are now seeing a growing circus of men acting this anger out in horribly destructive ways with potentially devastating consequences.

My thesis is: Feminism, and the subsequent assertiveness of women, has led to a profound polarity shift between men and women, and has led to an unhealthy inequality in dating and relationships.
