Toxic Vs. Healthy Masculinity

1. Conceptually, for myself, wielding power through the masculine is operating in the world with the knowledge one can cause great damage, and care & protectiveness are paramount in executive decision making & action. Stoic compassion while steadfastly driving for an outcome. 

2. I have found, in my limited experience, most men do not. The ones I have met have always come across as integrating their feminine side so well, it seems to act to balance their masculine traits and act like a 'checks and balances' system. They have always radiated grace, power and a gentle self assured nature. Usually age assists greatly, as many men I know who are older (60+) have learned this through life. Its a rare man indeed who is younger and has integrated the feminine/masculine in balance. Many misguided men do not realise their intense internal rejection of the feminine, resulting on the endless threads here regarding their troubles with women.

More and more of the younger generations are born with this great amount of awareness and consciousness, in comparison to generation x & the baby boomers. I myself being on the top end of generation y. Its a great shame their pure minds are polluted with the internet & its concepts, as it has degraded markedly over the last 9 or so years.

Overall I have so much love & respect for men. They build the infrastructure of this world. They lay the asphalt, pave the sidewalks, design grand machines. They mine coal, work oil rigs, defend in the military. They protect and uphold. They destroy their bodies in service to holding space for women, just as women sacrifice their bodies to bear them children.

I feel like many younger men are crying out for these traits to be acknowledged and appreciated as a semi-backlash to women's recent empowerment. It seems they are threatened, and don't realise women can be empowered just as they have always been, and always will be. Men and women can BOTH be empowered, simultaneously.

If they so choose to believe it <3

 

 

Thank you for sharing. You’re clearly wise and have contemplated these things deeply. 
 

A few of my thoughts on what you shared 

 

1. There is certainly that balance, and any power or consciousness gained should be equally balanced with higher moral development. Because as you raise your consciousness you become more efficient and effective. This is beyond man/woman, just a general principle. 
 

What you wrote is very beautiful- and honestly that’s my hope with the channel. I was a lost young man with little guidance. I hope to help some men realize these principles (within themselves) and learn to dance with the feminine in a satisfying and appreciative way. 
 

There is much beauty in the masculine/feminine dance and it’s truly a gift. It’s sad to see all the toxicity online between men and women, and I hope to show the other side of it. 
 

There’s few things as beautiful as finding that balance internally with your own energies and also in a partner (having your masculine energy balanced by a woman or vise versa) 

 

To evolution and awakening ❤️🙏

I do agree here. Maybe I can bend this toward more masculine energy by bringing it into the realm of the physical, as men typically are physically more powerful than women

Thank you for your kind words as well - you stand out from the users here, as you embody a steadfast masculinity many can earnestly look up to

From my end, you are an exemplary man to lead others on the correct path.

Truly I have enjoyed this dialogue and your questions.

The Light in me, bows & recognises the Light in you 🙏

Toxic and healthy is a false dichotomy.

Vast majority of yall would literaly not survive without men, especially not in the earliest periods of human history such as the Stone Age. Men would survive just fine without women, in pure physical means. And this is still the case even today imo, with all the technologies we have. I feel like most women don't fully realize this, until they find out for themselves how non essential they really are in physical survival tasks, or they observe a man doing it much better and quicker. The whole civilization had been built on the backs of man, it's actually pretty crazy to think about

And who can create life? And it's been creating life from the beginning?

Men + women. Obviously. Women can't create a life alone, or am I missing something? LOL

Let them make life and let's see if they can defend themselves - and the offspring - against Stone Age wild predators. And also hunt, and build shelter all by themselves. Then we'd see how things really are and who needs who

You can't really argue the point men would survive without women, as they wouldn't exist without women. Symbiosis.

Also this thread isn't about men vs women.

Don’t be so sure of this. Also is that all there is to life? Pure physical survival? Might as well be a worm if that’s true
