Yes, their definition of masculinity is going to be overall slanted towards the traditional beliefs about it. If people who identify with it are correlated with better life outcomes, it is not inherently a shitty way of being. I wasn’t referring to the queer community. You can be a effeminate straight man or a very traditionally masculine gay man. I was referring to how if men learn from the queer community to be more feminine they could harm their outcomes as men who identify as less masculine seem correlated with many worse life outcomes. Hetero males are actually an underprivileged class. They are the majority of suicides, homeless, workplace deaths, homicide victims, receive substantially less in health funding, scholarships, and government aid, and are only 40% of college graduates. High income and religiosity is correlated with many positive life outcomes such as general happiness, greater relationship satisfaction, etc. Still, one’s self image is very important to one’s life and people tend to try to live up to them. Many people despite being great in their actual actions are depressed due to self hating and excessive self criticism. No, but I regularly see it recommended men move away from traditional masculinity, soften masculinity etc. without ever seeing evidence of why doing that is a good choice. In this post you suggest men should learn from the queer community because they are decades ahead in gender expression and relationships, I’ve also seen similar suggestions made about men needing to learn from women and more left leaning sources on how to express themselves and manage their emotional lives. But lgbtq people, women, and liberals report worse and declining mental health, if anything it sounds like they should learn principles of traditional masculinity such as stoicism.

“Softened masculinity” is harmful for most people. Data finds that men who identify as very masculine tend to be healthier, less depressed, and happier, then men who identify as less masculine. https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-pitfalls-and-power-of-masculinity

I don’t understand what your complaint is specifically

When you feel an urge take a cold shower

Get ifs therapy Read the righteous mind

It sounds like you have a deeper psychological phenomenon causing your motivation to enter politics to be to find justice for those you see part of yourself in

what?

Inspired by Leo’s recent blog post, I want to make a thread about sharing the best resources for having an open minded understanding as well as reducing suffering. These are some I’ve found: -The Righteous mind by Jonathan Haidt Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist who studies morality and politics. In this book he discusses why people have different perspectives specifically in politics. Understanding why someone believes what they do can make you far more understanding of their perspective and better at communicating with them. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SOQduoLgRw -Crucial Conversations by Joseph Grenny This book was more from the perspective of business, but it’s actually useful in all parts of life when it comes to communicating emotionally charged or difficult issues in general such as relationships or disagreements. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc3ARpccRwQ -Break through difficult emotions & Break through pain by Shinzen Young These are audio talks by American meditation teacher Shinzen Young about how to use meditation to reduce both emotional and physical suffering. talks with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD1ny_Q8sKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdulQzPqRi8 -No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Richard Schwartz is the founder of the internal family systems model of psychology. It stipulates that human psychology functions as a combination of different “parts” reacting to each other. One foundational principle discussed here is that no part is “bad” and shouldn’t be pathologized but rather understood. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbNlOP26KvI What do you think of these? What resources have helped you?

In one moment he says he needs to be more patient and understanding, then a few months later he says he has been far too patient and is going to be stricter and harsher. I swear this is the fourth time he’s done this. I guarantee within a year he’s going to do an update video or a new post saying the opposite.

Just friendzone her

A parent telling a kid not to listen to someone will just make them listen to them more intently.

Eckhart Tolle said after enlightenment he sleeps 6 hours and Frank Yang said after enlightenment he sleeps 4 hours now

The “men becoming extreme and right wing” is actually a false media narrative. The data actually shows men have only moved slightly right while women have moved far more to the left.

For business try money master the game by Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi’s work

In the finders by Jeffery Martin he said for some people deeper stages of enlightenment reduced hours needed to sleep

Does he put his height on his profile?

I can’t find any source on the claim being forced to do something can make you happier. I also don’t see how it applies here, divorce is also normalized for republicans in America.
