RE: What is Patriarchy: a society led by men or a society led by fear and a feeling of scarcity which happens to be an environment in which the masculine takes charge?
I am a true men's activist, i want the rights to be a true man. I like to cut the wood and make the fire. I love to connect with my female side which is life by definition, feminity is everywhere where life manifest and denying that part in us is 100% suicidal.
Now rip me to shreds, demolish all my layers and balanced beauty will manifest because that is what true men are
If you are convicting and judging men, you are not better than them, be passionate, be loving, be what you are, a true woman
With utter respect and lots of fun with this reply, it was a beautiful post
Only when we rip through all those layers will we find the gorgeous, gooey center revealed.
I honestly have similar preferences. Masculinity can look like a lot of things, but like I said, I'm ready for a world that honors feminine energy, expressed by women or men. I love to cook and keep shit clean, and I'm a badass mom. I totally want someone else chopping wood and carrying heavy shit. I'm so ready for a world that values all that. I do like making fires, though.
You're right that denying that balance is suicidal. So many of the problems we see are a result of just that.
I only judge the men's rights activists. If you don't know who they are, they're the ones who think all feminists are nazis trying to take over the world with their secret witchy ways and are simultaneously whiny babies who can't accept they didn't get a job because they weren't qualified or get paid less because they're weak and lame. You can find quite a few of them on here. I just wanted them to know they better bring their best game if they want to do verbal battle with me on this topic. Bless their hearts they deserve a warning. God knows I'm nothing if not passionate.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Bubke. Thanks for stopping by. <3
Really shocked by some people one here who I've debated with calling feminists stupid and crazy then have the cheek to make a post about what divine feminist and masculinity is. Just goes to show that ppl will write anything for an upvote bit not actually be able to act what they preach.
It's fascinating to me the whole backlash against feminism thing. I just can't understand seeing feminism as bad. It's the whole "equality looks like tyranny when you've been the oppressor" thing I guess. But then you have to find a way to not look like an asshole I guess.
There's nothing wrong with being a man. We women like men to hold the door for us and carry our heavy bags in to the train, it makes us like jelly for you guys ( it's really that easy ,yes) We just want all men ( and women) to remember how they like women, how they need them and how to give them and the feminine qualities in all of us the space they deserve.
You are right Clara, i was too fast in my reaction and didn't absorb fully what you were saying. The true message is in the last 2 lines, i was bounced off by '...how they like and need them...'
Oh, I didn't even read the first reply yet. Yes, I fully acknowledge how it's the feminine qualities in BOTH men and women that are suppressed By BOTH men AND women, darling. I was cheering you on :-)
Off course there is nothing wrong with being a man :-)
"We just want...."
No expectations Clara
The expectation that the subjugation of women end and the honoring of feminine energy begin is a reasonable one. She's not asking men to be a certain way. She is asking for an end to toxic masculinity.
You're right, i owe her an apology, thanks for pointing it out.
You just totally and completely swooned my heart @bubke.
Yes, I do definitely have expectations there. Of both men AND women, to acknowledge feminine qualities and give them the space/rewards whatever they need. For women specifically, but also men with feminine qualities it is very important to be acknowledged as they have been under-acknowledged for so long. So yes, please DO tell them you need them, like them etc, there's absolutely no shame in that. Yay for femininity!
