Zitate allgemein

Die fünf wesentlichen gravierenden Wahrheiten der männlichen Initiation (im Westen) sind:

1. Das Leben ist hart.
2. Du bist nicht wichtig.
3. Dein Leben dreht sich nicht um dich.
4. Du hast keine Kontrolle.
5. Du wirst sterben.

Richard Rohr(*1943) US-amerikanischer Franziskanerpater, Prediger, Autor, Adam's Return. The Five Promises of Male Initiation, Überschriften von fünf Kapiteln (Inhaltsverzeichnis), The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2. November 2004

Zitate von Warren Farrell (US-amerikanische Männerbewegung)

Von der Dominanzgesellschaft zur partnerschaftlichen Paradigma

DOMINANZ / UNTERWERFUNG Überlebensbedingte Abhängigkeit Entwicklungsstufe 1 ✰	PARTNERSCHAFT Gleichgewicht zwischen Überleben und Erfüllung durch gegenseitige Fürsorge Entwicklungsstufe 2 ✰ ✰
Mann und Frau waren Rollen-Partner.	Mann und Frau werden Seelen-Partner sein.
Killer-Zerstörer-Beschützer-Mann Paare aus allen Gesellschaftsschichten	Empathischer netzwerkender redegewandter Mann Paare aus mittleren und gehobenen Gesellschaftsschichten
Getrenntes Lieben Arbeitsteilung – Spaltung der Interessen Frauen betreuten die Kinder. Männer beschafften das Geld.	Vereintes Lieben Gemeinsame Interessen und Werte – Würde für alle

Vergangenheit 50.000 Jahre	Zukunft Seit den 50er Jahren
In der Vergangenheit führte die Entscheidung für einen Killer-Mann zur Idee des 'Überleben des Stärkeren'.¹	Angesichts der nuklearen Technologie kann die Entscheidung für den Zerstörer-Mann die mögliche Vernichtung der Menschheit in der Zukunft herbeiführen. Somit wurde das, was ehemals funktioniert hat, dysfunktional. [Die Zukunft ist offen für die Idee der gegenseitigen Fürsorge.]
In der Vergangenheit mussten sich die Männer von ihren Gefühlen abschneiden, ansonsten wären sie nicht dazu zu bewegen gewesen zu sterben, um ihre Familie und Gemeinschaft zu beschützen. Deshalb mussten sich Frauen in Männer verlieben, die ihrem Wesen nach zur Liebe unfähig waren.	In Zukunft können Frauen es sich leisten, sich immer seltener in den Killer-Beschützer und immer öfter in den Anteilnehmenden-Vermittler zu verlieben.
In der Vergangenheit waren sowohl das Überleben, die Ehe als auch die Familie auf den Killer-Mann angewiesen.	In Zukunft werden sowohl das Überleben, die Ehe als auch die Familie auf den gesprächsfreudigen Mann angewiesen sein.

General quotes

"Men," said the fox, "they have guns, and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests." [...]
"My life is very monotonous," the fox said. "I hunt chickens; men hunt me. All the chickens are just alike, and all the men are just alike. And, in consequence, I am a little bored." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) French aviator, writer, The Little Prince, chapter 21 The Little Prince and the Fox, first issued 1943

Liberating impact of feminism:

Feminist/masculinist movements are liberating democracy from patriarchy.

Feminism is one of the great liberation movements in human history. [Feminism] is the movement to liberate democracy from patriarchy. It's not a problem of women and men, it's not a battle between women and men. It's seeing the effects of patriarchy on both women and men which are different. It's seeing how much the gender binary and gender hierarchy are fueling violence and a whole set of the ethical problems that are in front of us today, because in part by blunting our capacity to know what we know and to respond to what we know. Video presentation by / Q&A with Carol Gilligan, Ph.D. webster.edu (*1936) US American professor of gender studies, psychologist, feminist, ethicist (community, relationships), writer, Learning to See in the Dark: The Roots of Ethical Resistance, sponsored by The Dalai Lama Center For Ethics and Transformative Values MIT World, minute 1:08:04, 1:10:34 duration, recorded 24.

Fathering resolves the cult of masculinity.

As long as there is male dominance some sex will be violent, violence will be sexualized, and children will be victimized. […] If you [men] can't get the proper dominance from grown-ups you [they] turn to [sexual abuse of] children. […] We need to understand the whole cult of masculinity. […] The way out of this cult of masculinity is men raising children as it causes them to become whole human beings. […] The fathering revolution is partly here.
[Paraphrased.] The task ahead is to humanize the traditional gender roles rooted in the deepest source of violence required by masulinity and supported by femininity.

Quotes by women / Frauen

Personal avowals

Part of me loves and respects men so desperately, and part of me thinks they are so embarrassingly incompetent at life and in love. You have to teach them the very basics of emotional literacy. You have to teach them how to be there for you, and part of me feels tender toward them and gentle, and part of me is so afraid of them, afraid of any more violation. Anne Lamott (*1954) US American recovering conversed alcoholic, bestselling author, Operating Instructions. A Journal of My Son's First Year, Anchor, 1. May 1993, 2nd edition 8. March 2005

[T]he male wounding is VERY, VERY DEEP. [...] To be a man and to be asked to reclaim the energy of the heart is brutally difficult. It's easier for women to buck their conditioning and stand in their power than it is for men to reclaim the energy of the heart. Lucia René, US American mystic, ordained Buddhist monk, spiritual teacher, woman's and gender transition activist, author of Unplugging the Patriarchy, excerpted from teleseminar Women on the Edge of Evolution, MP3, spring 2010

Clarification:

Dignity is not right or left, white or black, male or female, superior or inferior, conservative or progressive. It's nonpartisan. The more accurate term for "egalitarian society" is dignitarian society.

Women are now on the frontlines of consciousness. Until women reclaim their power, throw off their conditioning of being second class citizens, and really move out on the frontlines men won't have a chance to react to that and to open up the emotional body and to process their reaction to the second class citizen. Now we are coming into equality. [...]
The oppressed must throw off the yoke and say 'No more! I am going to stand!' [...] If I simply stand and I meet your energy with exactly the right amount of energy that you are projecting at me to counter it... It is very gandhiesque what I am proposing that women simply stand and allow men to react, allow men to process what they need to process in order to reclaim their heart and come into a more humble state of mind where they are ready, willing, and able to come to the table and accept women as equals and to co-create an egalitarian society. [...] Everyone is needed. There's no right and wrong here. We have all bought into this out of balance system. But really, it is women who must make the first move and be strong enough to allow men to then react against that.

You can retrain brain circuits to do a variety of things [...] and all of our lives we can be gender trained to be more one way or the other.
When they put electrodes on males and show them a gruesome photograph that is supposed to make you cringe and emotional their facial expressions versus the females' actually show more emotional response in the time before it becomes conscious. And right after the one second level when it becomes conscious they start to freeze down their facial muscles for frowning or smiling. Females' facial muscles actually amplify and the males' go down. The hypothesis of scientists is that males have been trained to suppress their emotional feelings. Louann Brizendine MD-PhD louannbrizendine.com (*1952) US American neuropsychiatrist, professor of neurobiology, UC Berkeley, founder of the first US clinic to study and treat women's brain functions, lecturer, author, Gender Identity.

Yes, men and boys receive privilege and status from patriarchy, but it is a poisoned privilege for which they pay a heavy price. If traditional, patriarchal socialization takes aim at girls' voices, it takes aim at boys' hearts – makes them lose the deepest, most sensitive and empathic parts of themselves. Men aren't even allowed to be depressed, which is why they engage so often in various forms of self-numbing, from sex to alcohol and drugs to gambling and workaholism. Patriarchy strikes a Faustian bargain with men.

Women are the guardian of connection, men are connectable by instruction.

Men, when they are upset, don't like to talk. Women like to talk when they are upset. You're the guardian of connection, and he is connectable by instruction. So stay positive. And remember, men do not know how they feel or they would tell us.

Seducibility of holy men

Is there any man who has ever gone through a whole lifetime without dressing himself up, in his fancy, in the habit of a monk and enclosing himself in a cell where he sits magnificent in heroic austerity and solitude, while all the young ladies who hitherto were cool to his affections in the world come and beat on the gates of the monastery crying, "Come out, come out!"

Testosterone – FIKI

Testosterone basically has two, and only two, major drives: fuck it or kill it. And males are saddled with this biological nightmare almost from day one, a nightmare women can barely imagine (except when they are given testosterone injections for medical purposes, which drives them nuts. As one woman put it, "I can’t stop thinking about sex. Please, can’t you make it stop?") Ken Wilber (*1949) US American transpersonal philosopher, consciousness researcher, thought leader of the 3rd millennium, developer of Integral Theory, author, A Brief History of Everything, S. 5-6, Shambhala, Boston, 1996, 2nd edition 6.

True love is the true authority of a man over a woman.

To be a fully integrated male, a man has to assimilate in his body the divine female energies that woman can only release to him through right physical lovemaking. But the man has to be man enough. He has to be able to love her enough; that is, love her selflessly during the actual act of lovemaking. He has to be able to absorb and express sufficient love in his body to reach the highest part of her, and love enough to extract the divine energies from her deepest center. To be able to love in this way is his only true authority over woman. Barry Long (1926-2003) Australian spiritual teacher, tantra teacher, press secretary, editor, writer, source unknown

[The possibility of the 'wildman' is] the possibility that the deep, nourishing and spirituality radiant energy in the male lies not in the feminine side, but in the deep masculine. [...] Now that so many men are getting in touch with their feminine side, we're ready to start seeing the wildman and to put his powerful, dark energy to use. Robert Bly (*1926) US American activist, leader Mythopoetic Men's Movement, poet, author, source unknown

Generally, a mood will run its course in an inteligent man; if a woman doesn't puncture it prematurely, the man will puncture it himself. He will regain his senses somewhere along the way; he will say, "Now wait, we had better think about this." That is, if his wife hasn't said five minutes before, "Now, dear, don't you think we had better think about this?" Because then he won't, of course.
If a woman is needling, it is doubly hard for a man to come out of a mood. That intensifies it. A man is really in a kind of travail when he is in a mood. He needs help, not needling, but feminine help. He probably won't thank you for it, but inside he will be awfully grateful.
When a woman has to deal with a man in a mood, she generally does the wrong thing. She generally gets her animus out, that nasty thing, and says, "Now, look, this is utter nonsense, stop it. We don't need any more fishline leader.
That is just throwing gasoline on the fire. There will be an anima-animus exchange, and all will be lost. The two are in the right hand and in the left hand of the goddess Maya, and you might as well give up for the afternoon.
There is, however, a point of genius that a woman can bring forth if she is capable of it and willing to do it. If she will become more feminine than the mood attacking the man, she can dispel it for him. But this is a very, very difficult thing for a woman to do. Her automatic response is to let out the sword of the animus and start hacking away. But if a woman can be patient with a man and not critical, but represent for him a true feminine quality, then, as soon as his sanity is sufficiently back for him to comprehend such subtleties, he will likely come out of his mood.
A wife can help a great deal if she will function from her feminine side in this way. She has to have a mature feminity to do this, a femininity that is strong enough to stand in the face of this spurious femininity the man is producing. Robert A. Johnson, US American Jungian analyst, lecturer, author, He. Understanding Masculine Psychology, Harper Collins, March 1987

Men have been programmed by society not to be intimate.
What do men want from women? – Sex.
What do women want from men? – Security and Money.
What kind of relationship does that make? – Prostitution.
We [men] lie a lot. [...] We are gonna fake it. [...] Truthfully what we [men] want is the same that you [women] want. Men are women turned inside out. We are. Audio interview with Dr. Stan Dale (1929-2007) US American sex, love and intimacy expert, founder of Human Awareness Institute, Intimacy [i.e. "into me you see"], May 1993

Women read 90% of all the relationship books that are published and initiate about 70% of divorces and breakups. On the other side men suffer much more when they are left financially and emotionally and if they are in a relationship benefit from being in the relationship more, but frequently care less about what makes love work. So I figured it helps both sexes the most if men get more educated about relationships because it takes two people to cocreate a relationship but only one person to end it.

Men throughout the world have unconscious wishes to return to infancy, longings to suckle at the breast, to return to the womb, the powerful temptation to surrender one’s masculine autonomy to the omnipotent mother of childhood fantasy. David Gilmore, Ph.D., US American professor of anthropology, State University of New York, Stony Brook, author, Misogyny. The Male Malady, Anthropologist, University of Pennsylvania Press, 11. May 2001

Any development, at any stage, that strives toward patriarchal consciousness, toward the sun, looks on the moon spirit as the spirit of regression, as the terrible mother, as a witch.

Men need to learn to be "women". They need to learn to surrender. Take eternity as your lover and allow eternity to do with you as it will.

Quotes by Richard Rohr – Male spirituality and initiation

The males of most cultures will ordinarily define themselves by external performance, self created ordeals, and ego affirming tasks – unless they are offered a very real inner world and larger outer world that is even more alive and challenging. […] Older cultures seemed to assume that unless the male is led on deliberate journeys of powerlessness, he will normally seek and abuse power. The only external power that you can trust is in men who have also found their real inner power. Power it seems is the key fascination in the male soul and in every male archetype.
It does not go away by churchy preaching or cultural poverty. It just takes disguised and different forms and finally comes back to defeat most worthwhile projects or worse, keeps them from ever getting started. If the male does not experience his power and his possibilities, if he does not let others educate it and tame it, power needs/ego needs tend to control his whole agenda. It does not go away. Primal cultures understood this to an amazing degree, and they took steps to insure that it would not keep happening and subverting their community. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Made not Born: Men and Power, presented by Malespirituality.org, July 2003

Two brothers from Haiti

Masculine spirituality is not just for men, although it is men who are most likely going to have to rediscover and exemplify it. Strangely, it is an approach that many women are more in touch with today than men. Women have been encouraged and even forced to work on their inner life more than men in our culture. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

In the Chinese view of the universe, it is the yang, or active masculine principle, that is always the necessary complement to yin, the passive feminine principle. For the Judaeo-Christian tradition it is half of the image of God: "God created humanity as a self-image, male and female God created them" (Genesis 1, 27). Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

Conversion to what? Conversion to what we might call the no-me.
By that I mean conversion to the other, the alien, the would-be enemy that we must learn to love.
In other words, men must be converted to the feminine, women to the masculine.
Maybe that is why God made sexual attraction so compelling.
If we are converted to this non-self, everything changes. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

A masculine spirituality would emphasize action over theory, service to the human community over religious discussions, speaking the truth over social graces, and doing justice over looking nice. Without a complementary masculine, spirituality becomes overly feminine (which is really a false feminine!) and characterized by too much inwardness, preoccupation with relationships, a morass of unclarified feeling, and endless self-protectiveness. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

Such a man has life for others and knows it. He does not need to push, intimidate, or play the power games common to other men because he possesses his power with surety and calm self-confidence. He is not opinionated or arrogant, but he knows. He is not needy or bothered by status symbols because he is […] his identity is settled and secure – and within. He possesses his soul and does not give it lightly to corporations, armies, nation-states, or the acceptable collective thinking. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

Saints are people who are whole.
They trust their masculine soul because they have met the Father. He (sic!) taught them about anger, passion, power and clarity. He told them to go all the way through and pay the price for it. He shared with them his own creative seed, his own decisive Word, his own illuminating Spirit. They are comfortable knowing and they are comfortable not knowing.
They can care and not care without guilt. They can act without success because they have named their fear of failure. They do not need to affirm or deny, judge or ignore. But they are free to do all of them with impunity. The saints are invincible. They are men! Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

The feminine is more comfortable with the interior, the soul;
the masculine is more comfortable with the exterior world. Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, author, Masculine Spirituality, PDF, published in Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living, September-October 1988

The Five Promises (essential tough truths) of male initiation are:

Quotes by Warren Farrell – Men's movement and transgenderism

From the dominance society to the partnership paradigm

DOMINANCE / SUBJUGATION Survival based dependency Stage 1 – Role mates ✰	PARTNERSHIP Balanced survival and self-fulfillment by mutual caring Stage 2 – Soul mates ✰ ✰
Men and women were Role mates.	Men and women will be Soul mates.
Man as killer-destroyer-protector² Couples from any class	Man as communicative nurturer-connector Couples of the middle/upper class
Segregated Loving Division of labor – Division of interest Women raised the children. Men raised the money. Women were valued for their fertility, men for their disposability.	Transition to United Loving Common interest and common values – Dignity for all Women and men share raising a family and earning a living.

This is really the first time in human history that the qualities it takes to survive
as a species are compatible with the qualities it takes to love.
Audio interview with Warren Farrell, Ph.D., Farrell.com, US American spokesman of men's liberation

P A S T 50,000 years	F U T U R E Since the 50ties
In the past choosing the killer male led to the 'survival of the fittest'.³	In the future – with nuclear technology – choosing the killer (destroyer) male leads to the potential destruction of everyone. So what was functional has become dysfunctional. [The future is open for the idea of mutual caring.]
In the past men had to be cut off from their feelings or they would not have been led to die to protect the family and community. So women had to fall in love with people who were inherently incapable of loving.	In the future women can afford to fall in love less and less with the killer-protector and more and more with the nurturer-connector.
In the past survival, marriage, and the family all required the killer male.	In the future survival, marriage, and the family will all require the communicative male.

Women have already begun to move from stage 1 to stage 2 en masse, beginning with the women’s liberation movements of the 50’s and 60’s,
while men have largely remained "stuck" in much the same condition women were in before the rise of feminism. And this cultural "stuckness" not only reinforces many of the same unhealthy dynamics feminism was originally conceived to address, but also makes it much more difficult for women to fully grow from stage 1 to stage 2 in a complete and authentic way.

Personal avowal

Ultimately I am really not in favor of either a men's movement or a women's movement. I am in favor of a gender transition movement.

Sexuality and dating patterns:

Resocialising women to initiate sexually and risk rejection as well and to take responsibility for saying what they do want, not only what they don't want.

Evolution – gender transition

I discovered that, when women earn about $100,000 per year, they say, "I have enough money; I need time – for my family, friends, myself, to travel, and for exercise." Men need to learn this from women. Psychologically, men are about where women were in the 1950s. We need to help our sons question the traditional male definition of power — feeling obligated to earn money someone else spends while he dies sooner. That’s powerlessness.

At first, the rigid gender roles of men and women were born from necessity, and reflected a conscious choice on behalf of both genders to separate the world into public and private spheres, with men tending to the public, and women tending to the private. These roles became increasingly reinforced throughout history, as biological necessity determined that women would be valued for their fertility, and men for their disposability.

Nature's survival trick

Both sexes are biologically programmed to fall in love with the members of the opposite sex who are the least capable of loving.

➤ Men fall in love with women who are young and therefore less mature in their relationship skills, and beautiful, which usually means men compete to take care of them;

➤ women fall in love with men who are successful without realizing that many of the qualities it takes to be successful at work are inversely related to what it takes to be successful in love.

The Achilles’ Heel of humans is our inability to handle personal criticism – especially when given by a loved one – especially when given badly.

Oppression – Survival

Men don’t oppress women any more than women oppress men. The whole concept of men and women oppressing each other is ridiculous. That’s a fabrication of the feminist movement.

Father and son

So frequently today I see our daughters, who are interested [...] humanistic issues, go off to school and take Women's Studies courses, and then they come out angry at men – and these are oftentimes the brightest, the most intelligent, and the most potentially loving women, coming out of their university classes with an extension of marxist feminism that says that the males are oppressing women. And that's just a misunderstanding of the gender development over the millennia. Warren Farrell, Ph.D. ['The Gloria Steinem of Men’s Liberation' according to The Chicago Tribune], US American founding member of The Integral Institute, author of the international best-sellers Why Men Are the Way They Are and The Myth of Male Power, the only man in the US elected three times to the Board of Directors of the National Organization for Women, New York City, served on the boards of three national men’s organizations,

However, the moral, ethical, and technological advancements commonly associated with modernity have begun to change the rules entirely, accelerated by both men’s and women’s destinies being liberated from their biology – especially as muscle-power began to be increasingly replaced by mechanical and microchip-driven power, and as birth control offered women much more control over pregnancy. These evolutionary developments have enabled a considerable amount of women to migrate from the private sphere into the public, for the first time in history.
How can men make a similar transition from the "brute power" of the public sphere to the "invisible powers" of compassion, connection, introspection, and sexuality traditionally associated with the private sphere?

Society is something like a boat, with gender roles rigidly assigned so that men row predominantly on one side of the boat, and women row on the other, more or less assuring that the boat keeps moving forward.
However, since the rise of the enormously beneficial women’s liberation movement, women have begun to learn how to row on both sides of the boat — exploring many of the roles traditionally associated with men — who, unfortunately, have not experienced a similar sort of "men's liberation" movement, and are thus still rowing on the same side they always have. What happens, of course, is that rather than continuing to move the boat forward, the boat begins to move in a circle, seriously compromising any sort of meaningful progress for humanity as a whole. We are very much in this boat together, and must therefore learn how to consciously transform both genders, culturally and individually.

So what can we do to help men learn how to row on the other side of the boat? Unfortunately, there exist virtually no role models for men to guide this sort of transition, no rites of passage or cultural road signs to help remind men that there are indeed higher and deeper levels of masculine maturity yet to be explored and developed.

Men's health within the domination system

In a society in which men are expected to be strong, independent, aggressive, and impervious to emotional
stress, it is inevitable that men’s health will suffer.

Boys are nine times more likely than girls to suffer from hyperactivity.
Young men are five times more likely to commit suicide than young women.
Men have far higher rates of substance abuse and antisocial personality disorder than women.

After he grasped the tragedy of a world in violence and abuse – he is promoting a gentle world for both men and women. Tony Porter makes a call to men everywhere:

Don't "act like a man." Break free of the "man box."
