Apparently no one has bothered to let this poor sap (I don’t know who he is) know that the “Toxic” masculinity narrative has now been replaced with “masculinity is toxic“. I find it interesting that when it comes to the mainstream societal understandings of what masculinity once was and what it is now – or what the mainstream believes it should be now – much of these interpretations are based on fanciful, anachronistic, ideas of what contributed to our understanding of masculinity now. I’ve gone into my own definitions of what constitutes ‘conventional’ masculinity for men many times before so I won’t belabor it now, however, as the popular narrative changes I’ve noticed some very common presumptions that masculinity critics like to use and are repeated over and over.
The first of these, and the most common, is the deliberate misconception that a boy’s learning to be masculine never left the 1950-60s. In the wake of the Nikolas Cruz shooting this rationale surfaced quite a bit. It still is. The idea is that boys are born as these tender, delicate souls, all naturally ready to emote and sensate like precious little girls – that is until the nebulous evil ‘patriarchy’ gets ahold of them and batters them into “being tough”, not crying and told to stop being such pussies. This is the old anachronism that presupposes western society never left the ‘macho tough guy’ preconditioning of boys to raise them to be these future murderers, wife beaters and misogynists.
This is, of course, the “boys are broken” narrative I addressed in Good Humans. It’s kind of ironic when you think that this narrative would have us believe boys naturally wanting to be boys is a net social negative and it takes some strong intervention in their upbringing to turn them into good humans. So what is it? Are boys being their natural selves by wanting to be rambunctious, risk taking, shit-giving, masculine boys, or are they naturally these tender little emo-beings coming fresh out of the womb only to have their ‘genuine’ sensitive emotional souls crushed by “hyper-masculine” fathers, male teachers and school coaches. This is one of the more stupid, but deliberate, paradoxes the Village and the Feminine Imperative conveniently switch between as circumstances require yet one more anti-masculine response.
Lies for Boys
You can see this confusion in the above Tweet.
Our society teaches boys to “toughen up”.
Actually no, the feminine-primary social order that has been systematically feminizing boys into feminine-identifying men for the past 50 years does nothing of the kind. Since the mid-seventies the cultural narrative took a hard turn to the feminine-correct in raising boys into pacified ‘harmless’ men. We’re going on five generations of telling boys it is incumbent upon them to get in touch with their mythical feminine sides if they want to evolve beyond ‘traditional masculinity’. There is no ‘toughening’ being taught to boys in a female primary education system that teaches boys in a manner that presumes they are defective girls.
…which is okay, but not okay when “toughening up” also means suppressing feelings.
Feelings are perhaps the only thing boys are being taught to prioritize in their feminine-primary educations today. This fact deserves a bit of explanation here. Male and female humans process emotions differently. Women in particular process negative emotions in a much different way than men. Men tend to prioritize information through a filter of rational discernment first and then sort out how they feel about that information in an emotional context. Women are much the opposite; girls process information through an emotional filter first and then sort out what the information actually means to them (and after that, how it might affect others). If this sounds like the essays I’ve written about how men’s and women’s communications methods differ you’re not too far off. Men prioritize the content (information) of a conversation while women prioritize the context (the feels she gets) from a conversation. This is how our brains work, and when one method isn’t socially favored above the other both methods can be complementary to the other.
But in a feminine-primary social order this is not how things work. As I mentioned, for the past 50+ years our educational system has shifted to favor the learning methodologies of girls at the expense of boys. This ‘girls style’ teaching has been the standard for so long now that we largely take it for granted that it is the only correct style of teaching. Today, men account for less than 25% of all teachers in the United States. In the UK it’s 25% and n Canada only 17% of elementary school teachers are male. Teaching is a female dominated profession and especially for younger kids. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics only 2% of pre-K and kindergarten teachers, and 18% of elementary and middle-school teachers, are men. How do you think stats like these affect the learning methodologies applied to boys and girls?
Yet still this lie that boys are the victims of some overwhelming toxic masculinity in their upbringing is the first reflexive explanation we hear from women and feminized men when a kid commits a criminal act. Why?
Lies for Equalism
Because it sounds right. It sounds like it should be right. The presumption is that boys are, in fact, girls; or at least they should be a functional equivalent of girls when it comes to educations. Over the past 50 years the baseless presumptions of blank-slate egalitarian equalism has not only inserted its lies into our social consciousness, but also into our presumptions about educating kids. I’ll repeat, men and women are biologically and psychologically different and boys and girls are equally different. The ways they learn are distinct to their sex. Yet for the past 4 generations egalitarian equalism has convinced (mostly female) educators that boys and girls are functional equals and gender differences are learned rather than innate.
While equalism informs (mostly female) teachers that boys and girls are the same, the teaching methodology that works best for girls and women is the predominant one today and for the recent past generations. The only way to justify this method as the universal one is to presume that boys are the same as girls – just ‘defective’ girls that must be taught to quash their innate maleness. If boys and girls are presumed to be blank-slate equals then it must follow that boys are just as emotion-prioritizing and sensitive as any girl, and it is through a process of an imagined patreo-misogyny social conditioning that boys psychologically cover over their “true” natures – that of precious little (defective) girls. In essence the equalist belief is that all babies are born as little equal blank-slates, but the ideal template for those blank-slates is a female nature irrespective of the sex of the child.
When a boy’s real, masculine, inborn nature expresses itself the first thing it meets in this equalist-but-feminine-primary education is derision and shame. For as much as boys would be boys they are taught that they aren’t good for being so. They’re encouraged to self-repress, self-deprecate their gender and self-police their brothers. They’re taught that the correct way to think is to emote like girls because that’s correct for the template of a “good human”. Despite the female-centric teaching boys innate nature still find ways for boys to be boys and when this happens an egalitarian (feminine-primary) social order presume the ‘bad behavior’ must be the result of the influence of an evil patriarchy that truly hasn’t existed in the way they believe it does for 50 some odd years.
As I’ve detailed in past essays, society only sees fathers as tolerable and superfluous when it comes to raising boys. Single mothers are celebrated as super-human and in the equalist lie that would have us believe that women can not only ‘have it all’ but they can ‘do it all’ we rarely question the necessity of a masculine influence in a child’s life. We give it lip service and parrot back the need for a man to “step up and take responsibility as a parent”. The message to dads is always “do better”, because the pretense for fathers is that they are inherently irresponsible and ‘broken’ just like all boys are.
The Village might even concede that a father is some advantage to a child, but ultimately he’s superfluous – that is until that kid is involved in some kind of criminality. Then the questions become “Where was this kid’s father? Why wasn’t he around to teach this kid some discipline and respect for human life?” The children of single mothers are overwhelmingly more likely to be come involved in criminality, but we don’t look at her half-measure parenting as a possible cause. Remember, she’s a super-hero and blameless, so any blame for this kid’s acts fall on the shoulders of a weak or absent father. Then fathers are necessary. Then the kid needed to ‘toughen up’ and dad should’ve taught it to him. And all of this comes full circle and feeds into the idea of father’s inherent incompetence again.
Lies for ‘Defective Girls’
The next lie is that boys can be,…
…both tough and fragile, vulnerable and resilient. Being vulnerable doesn’t affect your manliness.
I’ve written a lot about the lie of transvaluation and Vulnerability in the past, but this was really in terms of how women perceive men and require strength and dominance. Another aspect of masculinity that is encoded into women’s mental firmware is to seek out men with superior competency. A woman just is, a man must become is the first maxim of a man accepting his Burden of Performance. Part of this masculine competency involves strength, know-how and determination; all things that have been replaced with feminine-primary emotionalism and naval gazing for boys.
Men are expected to know how to do everything and what they do not know, what they are not competent in is one criteria of how they are judged by women. A lot of guys might think, “So the fuck what? I don’t base my self-worth on the opinions of women.” As well you shouldn’t, but it doesn’t change the truth that if you don’t know how to change a tire when you get flat, or you need another man who does know how to do it to change it for you, a woman sees you as less competent – and by extension less capable of providing her with the security she needs from a masculine ideal. Women evolved to see men as a Jack of all trades, master of some.
A man’s vulnerability (taught to him as a child by his female-primary teachers) most definitely affects his manliness. Vulnerability is, by definition, a weakness. It is a flaw in the design, a chink in the armor and vulnerabilities will be exploited by enemies and rivals to ensure that man fails while a stronger one succeeds in all things. This is Darwinism so simple that to question it seems illogical, but in our equalist utopia toughness and fragility find no contradiction; vulnerability and resilience are bed partners. Again, we must consider that this illogical balance can only exist in the female ‘good human’ template and the idea that everything is learned and nothing is innate about male and female humans. Promoting the idea that ‘vulnerability doesn’t affect manliness’ presumes that the person declaring it is in some way an authority on a manliness that has been already demonized and conditioned out of our boys today.
They hate the very idea that a boy might act in accordance with an inborn masculine proclivity. They hate the idea that a boy might learn to be tough and resilient at the expense of a vulnerability (weakness) because it contradicts the equalist belief set. They hate the idea that boys and girls have innately, biologically, different ways of dealing with emotions that don’t align with their belief in a blank-slate. To force them to accept this would be to force them to abandon deeply ego-invested beliefs that they themselves had conditioned into them by the same feminine-primary education.
Boys don’t naturally emote like girls, but when they refuse to align with the female-correct way of emoting we say that some patriarchal macho man, somewhere, in some movie, in some song, in some household taught that kid not to feel. He somehow learned that allowing his emotions to rule over him, to be vulnerable, to prioritize his feelings above his sense of rational self is what it actually is – a weakness that in our evolutionary past was far likelier to get him killed than to earn the praise of his equalist teachers.
Boys are simply not as emotional as girls – our brains did not evolve that way – but because we value the feminine above the masculine today we say this kid is doing it wrong. We say he learned to be an asshole from his macho dad or he learned to love firearms because of the latest rap song or a toxically masculine society that doesn’t exist. A kid like Nikolas Cruz was bound to happen in a world that teaches boys to prioritize feelings above rationality. He was taught like a defective girl. He never learned the masculine inspired discipline, determination and resiliency because all that conflicts with the lie that vulnerability is ever a strength. All that conflicts with his feminine-primary upbringing.
As such, these ‘defective girls’ are unequipped to handle the rejection of a girlfriend. The participation trophy generation, the one where everyone’s a winner and no one ever has to deal with defeat, never teaches these ‘defective girls’ what to do when they finally do taste a bitter defeat. They never learned how to come back from it because that would mean admitting that vulnerability and emotionalism (the female-correct way to handle it) are in fact weaknesses. So, predictably, a ‘defective girl’ like Nikolas Cruz does what any petulant teenage girl would – he has an emotional outburst. Only his outburst consists of gunning down 17 kids with an assault rifle.
The answer to incidents like this doesn’t lie in gun control or further feminization of boys. It lies in reimagining how we educate boys and how we see masculinity as a net positive that can deter exactly this kind of emotional outburst. If you truly want these shootings to stop it’s time we embrace real men teaching real toughness and resilience in our boys. It’s time we teach boys like they will become tough, strong, invulnerable young men we may need to provide future generations with a much needed security. And the time where we’ll need them is coming faster than anyone today really thinks.

Women often don’t appear to know how to play the “long” game.

These sentiments about the role and masculine influence of fathers benefiting their kids are advocated by proponents of shared parenting (in the advent of divorce).

Great post but it misses something. Women want men to be toxic at some level and they foster it. There’s a story about some anthropologists visiting a tribe, seeing male aggression, and documenting it as unprovoked. It took them a while to see that women in the tribe were provoking it by playing “let’s you and him fight” with the tribesmen.
Male stoicism comes from two things: High T (which inhibits feelings) and having to deal with women’s emotional rollercoasters.

I believe that some need to divorce their families of origin in order to maintain a healthy sense of self. I will still allow for visitation of them but boundaries are set and when they cross them it is time to go.
It’s when normal boys being boys is suppressed and repressed that they never learn to deal with it properly and act out. In public school, any interaction with a hint of conflict becomes an official discipline issue with the administration. Boys don’t learn to fight then deescalate and becomes friends again, because adults are stopping the learning process and imposing severe discipline. Because the boys didn’t act like girls. Again boys are treated like dysfunctional girls. When girls have a outright fight with each other it’s nuclear and high stakes. The losing girl can be ejected from her peer group… Read more »

The speech pattern sounds like baby talk with mispronunciation? I get the sense that it is pandering as they tend to lose the inflection when isolated with a masculine man.

Your point about emotions being useful signals is an important one. Feeling what she feels is a very good way to get an inside track on interactions. And the more nuanced your detection system the better. “Ah. She is mainly excited but a little disappointed. I need to shift a little until there is only excitement.”

Masculinity built civilization. Every time you take a shit and press a lever and your shit magically disappears and you don’t have to deal with it, every time you clean your ass on toilet paper that magically made it from the forest to your now sparkling clean butt, thank a MAN for these and the innumerable other benefits of civilization.
Women complain about masculinity from within the four walls of the world that men built for them. Let’s see how well you would really fare without us you incompetent, spoiled, entitled, overprivileged brats.

It took me a second read to see that dalrock was arguing about the absurdity of tradcon values.
The lie is more insidious than “masculinity is toxic”. The current narrative is that masculinity doesn’t even exist. That all boys are really just girls inside, but they’re pretending to be masculine because they’re petrified that other boys will make fun of them and call them gay. Therefore, any time a boy is physically active, aggressive, competitive, or has a sexual urge, he must have learned that from his terrible father or the media, because everybody knows that masculinity isn’t real and is just something cowardly guys pretend at to save face with other cowardly guys. Masculinity saves lives. You… Read more »
I just finished watching the movie “Blood Money”. From a RP perspective, I could see all that the female villain was doing and laughed at the idiots who weren’t treating her intelligently. She should have been slapped and kicked by Cusack’s character when she was being mouthy and just to make sure she is submissive. Also, always sit with your back to the wall.

” Let’s see how well you would really fare without us you incompetent, spoiled, entitled, overprivileged brats.”
The only toxic masculinity is the absence of masculinity.
That original tweeter, if that’s what that is, would have been greatly assisted in life by a good punch in the face. You can tell that he’s never had one.
Koepcke is an interesting case. Tough girl, but she was the child of two zoologists and had been taught some important emergency survival skills, by her father, which saved her life a few times along the way.

Not too many girls know how to do anything. That is why there is always a “honey do” list.
But you can teach them – some. The LTR still doesn’t understand how a gas engine works. But she could change the oil if she had to. And gap the plugs.
So i’ve been looking into teaching rugby to get away from old habits and embrace responsibility. Apparently back in college a roommate who was soon to be a cop made a prank or assumed i did retail theft and trespassing… This is weird because no one ever told me about it since it happened untill i got a letter today. Which will be interesting to speak about and call him about… “dismissed without prejudice”
I am not sure how to describe how much i appreciate learning from everyone here…
To continue an older discussion from the Weinstein/MeToo discussions we were having – I find it interesting that Trump is the first person to actually go after Stormy Daniels in court for breach of her confidentiality agreement, even though a bunch of women breached confidentiality agreements with Weinstein for their payoffs (Rose McGowan springs to mind, but I don’t think she’s the only one – I think there may have been other men with NDAs too, who paid off accusers). The reason Weinstein’s not gone after McGowan et al is not because he has a bad case but because he… Read more »
@TheMarquis, It would be wise to keep your standard of living modest and to stash cash that no one knows about. If you can, encourage her to make more money. The constant frame battle is going to start to wear thin on you. You may eventually develop a ZFG attitude. And that could either greatly improve things or it might eventually lead to divorce. @JT McMahon, I’ve made similar observations. In particular, the middle aged dude being led around by his wife, slump shouldered and beat down looking. And the teenage girls acting on top of the world, loud and… Read more »

@IH – thank you, that had occurred to me before. Yes, lots of overnight trips, anywhere from several days to a week or two. all over the country (but there are two cities she goes to 80% of the time) so plenty of opportunities to play away if that’s what’s happening. I have no specific reason to suspect anything is going on – only that she has plenty of opportunities. As far as I can tell, unless I have a reason to be actively suspicious, my game plan doesn’t change – the marriage has flaws but as of now I… Read more »
“Name a female invention.”
One that they actually like to brag about is packaging white paint in a quarter ounce bottle and selling it to secretaries for full quart prices.
Asking them who invented white paint makes their heads hurt, because they don’t know it’s white paint, even while they’re using it to paint something white.
And of course men have made it obsolete anyway.
@TheMarquis
Do you have any female admirers at work/outside of work who genuinely respect you? (Meaning your competencies, not nec. your attractiveness)
If not, build some post haste.
@Ajax Parallax – the odd one, yes, but not much, mainly because work is so male dominated. I mentioned in previous posts, but not recently that I’ve used Tinder and played away myself when on business trips, so I know women like me. I’ve also had a couple of the wife’s friends show a lot of interest in me, as well as other women from a non-work social circle, but the way our social lives work (both of us travelling, plus we both have separate social circles in addition to a joint one) the wife really doesn’t have much opportunity… Read more »
@TheMarquis “and the wife nearly created a scene at the end of the night after everyone left saying that woman had been flirting with me all evening and getting angry…” That’s a good type of angry. It’s when she feels comfortable hanging out with other men alone without bothering to wonder what you’re doing with whom that you need to poke her with some dread. My woman inviting her “dear male friend” to her hotel room for a ‘meeting’ is a dealbreaker according to my Boundary Violation Monitor. Yours may be set at higher tolerances. My (deadpan non-butthurt) response: “Was… Read more »
Marquis…. Sorry man all the stuff about your wife working are yellow flags at a minimum. Don’t be fooled by female “honesty”… They tell you stuff based on hindbrain impulses but in cat language. Not their fault if you don’t know catonese… But after the fallout when the dust is clearing she can say with honesty she mentioned so and so etc. Remember this is all hindbrain chatter to her too. So her forebrain probably believes it. For now. Until you know it just happens. You are playing with fire if she is attractive. That 10 to 20% income ain’t… Read more »

And stop explaining. Demonstrate. Rollo has to explain because we need to digest. You just take what you need and implement. All the guys just keep explaining feel like its a nerdy environment.
@TheMarquis Meant to add, as Sentient referenced, a woman will usually leak out bits of premeditated overt *honesty* as a subtle shit-test. Often, they aren’t even aware of exactly why they are doing it (but, believe me, their female mate optimization firmware knows). If she actually used the word *awkward*, then, dammit, this honest girl knew she was about to engage in disrespectful behavior (and went ahead with it anyway). Hypergamy is like an opportunistic dog. If you don’t quick-snap the leash on it’s neck when it sees an opportunity, it will test and test your tolerance boundary until it… Read more »

Not that you can’t deal with the situation, just stay aware that traveling business wife can get out of hand fast.
@TheMarquis,
Dude, I hate to tell you, but 98% chance she’s already banged one of those dudes. As Ajax said, she’s leaking out parts of the truth. I would bet money that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
She’s waving a huge red flag right in front of your face.
Apparently i have an imposter who was been using my handle…
I’m going to throw something out of left field that I rarely see mentioned in red pill spheres and that I know to be valuable because of reference experiences I’ve had:
@TheMarquis
Do you have any male buddies at work/outside of work who genuinely respect you? (Meaning your competencies, not nec. your attractiveness)
If not, build some post haste.
