Locker Room
For some years now, I’ve felt a calling to help men figure their shit out. I wasn’t ready to do this until recently.
I’ve decided to name this section the “Locker Room”.
Locker Room: A place where men are free to talk about Men’s topics and lives, without judgement.
Ladies, you’re welcome to read and comment here, but a locker room is a GENDERED space. Meaning, dont be offended if you take a peak at what’s inside and see someone’s bare ass (not literally, you get my meaning).
I will discuss some Red Pill adjacent topics, but I’m not going to go full Red Pill. At least, not here where I’ll get cancelled or put on a watch list (both of these are real and happening).
This is intended for discussion.
Topic: Masculine vs Feminine
I fundamentally believe these to be polar opposites on the same axis. Neither are inherently good nor bad. “Toxic masculinity” or “toxic femininity” do not exist, but toxic people do (they’re usually the ones who have “toxic” in their daily lexicon).
A hammer can be used to build a house or break bones, that doesn’t mean a hammer is inherently good or bad. Yes, that means that gender norms are just that - a tool - and a fuckin effective one too.
In the shortest description i can think of:
-
Masculine is your outward effect on the world.
-
Feminine is the effect the world has on you.
-
Masculine is to become. It must be earned.
-
Feminine is to preserve. It must be saved.
-
Masculine is to build the house.
-
Feminine is to make the house into a home.
The more opposite these can be nourished in a relationship, the better the relationship can be.
Examples of this are riddled throughout BDSM, where the typical dynamic is the man doing unto the woman.
Further examples of this are in everyday situations.
Go check into a hotel. Men build and maintain it, women make it warm and pleasant.
At a hospital, men are usually the doctors (doing unto others), women are usually the nurses (making the experience more pleasant).
I’ve never met a feminine man I enjoy tolerating.
I’ve never met a masculine woman that turns me on.
So my question to you is:
- What Masculine traits do you think your partner(s) would like you to have, or what traits do they appreciate in you?
- What Feminine traits does your partner(s) have that you appreciate in her?
*can be past, present, or even ideal traits in a future partner.
Welcome to the locker room boys Men.
And thanks for the recommendation for When I Say No I Feel Guilty. I think these two books, along with Dr. Stephen Baskerville’s A Gentleman’s Guide to Manners, Sex, and Ruling the World: How to Survive as a Man in the Age of Misandry–and Do It With Grace are staples in a male library. All three benefited me greatly.
