A fascinating principle to see in action is the
development and rise of opposition. As the tide of thought or action
moves in one direction, inevitably, there is a counterbalancing
movement. A dichotomist response—born out of the revelation that the
original movement has gone to an extreme—begins simply as an effort to
offset or compensate for the first movement. Yet, so often we observe
the responsive movement to be an extreme in itself. Case in point: feminism and neomasculinity.
Since the early 1900’s, we’ve seen
considerable shifts in how society views women, and subsequently how
women view themselves. These shifts have led to considerable changes in
the socio-economic structure of Western (i.e. Euro-centric) society.
While we have to acknowledge correlation is not causality, there are
interesting parallels in timing between the rise of feminism and the fall of the quintessential middle-class family. This article doesn’t dive in to those parallels, but many writers have.
Now 100 years in to the feminist movement, we are seeing a growing contrasting response. Generally referred to as red pill or neomasculine
culture, groups of like-minded males are vocally admonishing the
feminist agenda. By embracing traditional masculinity and gender roles, a
purely antithetical ethos to feminism has been established.
As the male-dominated movement has grown,
the nature of the response has become increasingly dominated by the
negative; more catharsis than carefully constructed argument.
Additionally, I see little in the way of
encouragement, thoughtful criticism, or tangible plan-of-action. Some of
the most vocal supporters of neomasculinity, who then become the face
of the movement, appear to hate women (i.e. Paul Elam, Dean Esmay,
RooshV). It reminds me of the Southern Baptist groups protesting gay
marriage by holding up signs saying “God hates gays.” The very nature of
the message completely destroys any chance of intelligent debate or
change.
The resulting response from feminists and
mainstream media is the neomasculine movement is driven purely by
petulant boys, trolling Jezebel forums in their mother’s basement,
dreaming of their first sexual encounter.
While I’m sure there are some guys out
there who fit this description, it no more accurately describes the
neomasculine male than does a female, 45-year-old divorcé, with 35% body
fat and 4 cats accurately embody the average feminist. Having
inadvertently allowed such a negative perception to be applied to
neomasculinity directly undermines what real men are trying to
accomplish.
I believe we are at a point where—as men
who are capable of leading—we are responsible for guiding the pendulum
back towards the middle. Just making your voice louder does not
guarantee that it is heard. Aggressively undercutting your opponent may
lead to their destruction, but the resulting heap may not be worth
salvaging. What we need is a tactical approach that results in an
optimal solution for all parties.
Because men are uniquely suited to band
together over a common interest or goal, we are already naturally
positioned to take control of this situation.
The key point here is: this is not a
battle against women. It is a battle against other males who have
allowed feminism to alter their view of women.
Men have always controlled society
because they have always founded society. Men have strength. Men rule.
Men define social constructs. So how is it we have allowed feminism to
stay afloat for so long? Because too many men have become pathetic
shells; psychologically castrated by the women they hope to please and
win over. It is more common now for men to attempt to win a woman’s
heart by being her friend instead of being her superior. In doing so,
these males are no longer men, and ultimately find themselves controlled
by a sex naturally disposed to manipulation and deception (read: feminine wiles).
Now is the time to be men of action and
character, treating women with respect, while putting them in their
place whenever they attempt to overstep their bounds.
Now is the time to lead as men of
discernment and fortitude, refuting and breaking down the saddest
examples of males today, then showing them how a real man handles
himself. Lesson one: a man never allows himself to be dictated to by a
woman.
This was a man’s world for millennia, and
what we had accomplished is nothing short of a miracle. It is past time
we re-establish ourselves and provide balance to the current see-saw of
man versus woman that dominates the cultural narrative.
Be a Leader of Neomasculinity
In the spirit of action, I propose the following:
1. Vote out all political representatives who support the feminist agenda (it sounds a lot like equality, redistribution of wealth, and adding social services).
2. Ignore those women who you know have
ridden the (cock) carousel. They are good for nothing but a
one-night-stand. Do not try to save them. Do not enter into a
relationship with them. In this way we can reset the balance of power.
3. Teach your daughters to respect and
listen to the “man of the house.” If anyone ever says to you “she has
you wrapped around her finger,” then know you’re failing as a father.
4. Do not do any favors for any woman you
are not in a relationship with. Your time is valuable and should not be
freely given to a woman.
5. Create balance in your influences.
Read more books and less Twitter feeds. Turn off the TV. Social
conditioning is a powerful destabilizer of emotion and influencer of
thought. Practice critical thinking rather than unfiltered consumption.
6. Move away from general women bashing,
and instead find constructive ways to regularly exert and celebrate your
masculine side. Play physical sports. Construct something, whether it
be a building or a ditch. Stop apologizing. Build strength in body and
character. Be the leader in your sexual relationships and make it clear
you will not tolerate an ounce of feminist bullshit.
Openly celebrating the dichotomy of
feminism and masculinity, while shunning all attempts at blending the
sexes, will stymie the cultural Marxism we see taking place today. We
are men and thus we are responsible for the world we live in. Time to
swing the pendulum back to where it belongs
