Some reflections
I do agree with a lot of conclusions from those groups such as MGTOW and have found valuable information. Unfortunately, I cannot consider myself among their ranks, especially with their philosophy of avoiding women completely. I also do not feel comfortable being a participant in something called a 'manosphere'. I'm not fond of much of the behavior of modern women, but I won't allow that to push me out of the race and to join ranks with those who completely trash and avoid women and constantly engage in man praise sessions.
There is much detestable behavior among modern women, but then that can be said about men too. I've come to the realization that both parties have been brainwashed. As you see the masculinization of women, you can clearly see the feminization of men with many of the clothes men are starting to wear.
Contrary to popular opinion, I am not angry at all or bitter at having been cheated on. In fact, I am very thankful for the experience. Firstly, thankful to God that my eyes were opened before my life was vastly affected, and secondly, to the women for making me reevaluate myself. I've come to the very important realization that many of my problems with women came from the 'feminized' approach that I've taken with women in times past, and yes, a lot of it came from societal conditioning. For some strange reason, very few in our generation of men were taught how to deal with women or much else in reality. We were pretty much taught to go to school, get the grades, and everything else will take care of itself. Past that, many were shunted off to sports practices or sat down in front of a television and told to behave. Missing were those lessons of manhood and even those rites of manhood that those tribal societies foisted upon the youth before calling them men. Very little masculine knowledge was verbally passed on, and thus, the boys of our generation were taught a false masculinity by the government and media.
This lack of knowledge is extremely evident in the constant frustrations men are having today with women. Many young men have been sat in front of the televsion as alluded to earlier. Instead of dad teaching these young men how to interact with women, a young man is privy to a host of 'programming' via the boob tube. These shows are called programming for a reason. Just as much as these shows are there to entertain, they are also there to instruct, whether overtly or covertly. Young men have been taught by these shows and by their parents that being a sort of gentleman who defers to women in all aspects is the way to go. Instead of a 'leading man' being produced, as God intended, we instead get a deferring, pandering, submissive and emasculated man.
Young men seeing this pandering behavior on television, begin to test it out in real life.
Unlike the outcomes in the movies and television shows in which the pandering man is rewarded, he tries it out in real life and is left scratching his head over and over upon finding out that this sort of behavior is never rewarded. In old societies, men were the hunters and women were the gatherers. Men were the lead and women were the support. However, in modern society, this was switched. Men were taught via media to be a 'sensitive man', and soon we get a host of nice guys who act as they do because that is all they've seen... and most of it came from television. God created man to desire woman and woman to desire man. A nice guy, however, is essentially a woman in a man's skin. His essence is playing the role of supporter and follower. Instead of boldly leading, he constantly defers to the woman in his decision-making, and even will change his core essence in order to please the woman. Instead of boldly dealing with a woman, his approach is more akin to a gentle and measured caress. Instead of directing and teaching a woman, he instead listens to her problems and verbally supports her. There is not an ounce of strength in his approach. His femininity is evident in his verbal expressions. "I was there for her. I listened to her. I supported her. how could she leave me?" "What do you want to do baby? It's whatever you want. It's whatever you like." He has, in essence, taken on the role of a woman when dealing with women, and as such, women will treat him as a woman, aka put in a friend category. These so-called bad boys are much more bold and do not succumb to a woman's attempt to change him, and thus he is rewarded for exuding his masculinity.
Women have been equally brainwashed, as you often see on these shows women wondering why they don't have a man, and upon asking for their qualifying credentials, they outline MASCULINE qualities. They will talk about their job, their education, etc. The goal of jobs is to provide. Hunting and providing is the man's job. Is it no surprise that a man has little interest in tying down a 'career woman', whose essential nature is an emulation of masculine characteristics? You see this masculinity further emulated by the drinking, cursing, tattoos, and utter lack of natural affection and support from the women of today. These modern women exhibit an unnatural boldness in an attempt to emulate men until they actually face repercussions from a man and quickly learn that it is not their given nature to act like a man. Is it no surprise that men are not wifing these women who exude masculine energy?
In essence, the core problem comes from the flipping of gender spirituality. The man has been given the female spirit and the female has been given the masculine spirit in today's society, and this is the derivation of the chaos, discord and confusion we have between genders today.
