Männerstatistik in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika

Statistischer Status der US-amerikanischen Männer

Thematik	Statistische Daten über Männen	Quelle (engl.)
Kriminalitätsrate – Männer	⚑ Männer verüben über 76% der Gewaltverbrechen in den USA. Die weltweite Statistik ist wahrscheinlich viel höher.
Kriminalitätsrate – Jungen	⚑ Jungen begehen 95% der jugendlichen Gewaltverbrechen.	¹ / ²
Opferstatus	⚑ Männer fallen den meisten Gewaltverbrechen zum Opfer. Aus Angst, schwach zu erschei- nen, sind sie auch weitaus seltener bereit, die Täter anzuzeigen. Eine Umfrage zufolge sind 40% der Männer Opfer häuslicher Gewalt, die allerdings höchst selten, die Gewalttat zur Anzeige bringen. Hinzukommt noch, dass sie im Anzeigefall noch öfters von der Polizei nicht ernst genommen werden.	³
Inhaftierung	⚑ Männer sind zehnmal häufiger bereit, einen Mord zu begehen und landen neunmal häufiger im Gefängnis als Frauen.	⁴
Sexuelle·Gewalt	⚑ Männer begehen 99% der zur Anzeige gebrachten Vergewaltigungen und sexuellen Übergriffe.	⁵
Selbstmord – Männer	⚑ Die Selbstmordrate bei Männern ist fünfmal so hoch wie bei Frauen.	⁶
Selbstmord – Jungen	⚑ Heranwachsende Jungen begehen neunmal häufiger Selbstmord als gleichaltrige Mädchen.	⁷
Obdachlosigkeit	⚑ Zwei Drittel der obdachlosen Bevölkerung sind Männer.	⁸ / ⁹
Depression/ADHS	⚑ Bei Jungen wird werden Depression und ADHS im Verhältnis von 4 zu 1 im Vergleich zu Frauen und Mädchen gleichen Alters diagnostiziert.
Alkoholismus	⚑ Im Vergleich zu Frauen neigen Männer mehr als doppelt so häufig zur Alkoholabhängigkeit und etwa dreimal so häufig zur Drogensucht.	¹⁰
Krankheit	⚑ Männer sind deutlich seltener als Frauen bereit, professionelle ärztliche oder anderweitige Hilfe in Anspruch zu nehmen, selbst wenn sie unter starken gesundheitlichen Beschwerden oder Depressionen leiden.	¹¹
Arbeitssituation	⚑ Männer nehmen im Vergleich zu Frauen gefährlichere Tätigkeiten an und melden Verletzun- gen am Arbeitsplatz seltener als Frauen. Männer arbeiten viel länger als Frauen. Sie nehmen weniger Urlaub, haben weniger Krankheitstage und leiden unter stärkerem chronischen Stress und Müdigkeit. Erstaunlich viele Männer sterben während der Arbeit. Die meisten Männer betrachten sich selbst wie ein Gehaltskonto auf zwei Beinen.	¹² / ¹³
Gefühlsleben·Ehe	⚑ Männer sind ohne Frauen emotional inkompetent. Sich für die Ehe zu entscheiden, ist buchstäblich das Gesündeste, was ein Mann in seinem Leben tun kann. ["Die Hauptursache, weshalb Männer früher als Frauen sterben, ist ihre emotionale Gehemmtheit."]	¹⁴
Lebenserwartung	⚑ Verheiratete Männer leben länger und schneiden bei nahezu allen fraglichen Qualitäts- merkmalen des Lebens wie auch Glück und Lebenserwartung höher ab. Für die gefühlsmä- ßige Ausgeglichenheit von Männern ist die Ehe ist wichtig. Sie allein kann die Lebenserwar- tung eines Mannes um fast ein Jahrzehnt erhöhen.	¹⁵
Altern	⚑ Ältere Männer, die eine gute Ehe führen, leiden seltener an Herzerkrankungen, Krebs, Alzheimer, Depressionen und Stress als ältere alleinstehende Männer.	¹⁶
Geschiedene Männer	⚑ Frisch geschiedene Männer neigen eher als frisch geschiedene Frauen, in Depression, Alkoholismus, psychische Erkrankung oder Selbstmord abzugleiten.	¹⁷
Geschiedene Frauen	⚑ Frauen betreiben mehr als 70% der Scheidungen und Trennungen. Der von Frauen am häufigsten genannte Scheidungsgrund ist, von ihrem Gatten "emotional vernachlässigt" worden zu sein.	¹⁸

Die Wirkungsweise von Hormonen im männlichen Gehirn

Archetypisch wirkende Neurohormone im Gehirn eines Mannes

Hormon	Archetyp	Beschreibung
Testosteron	Zeus König der männlichen Hormone	Beherrschend, aggressiv, allmächtig, konzentriert, zielgerichtet. Bestrebt, andere Männer rangmäßig auszustechen. Regt männliche Schweißdrüsen an, den Männlich- keitsgeruchssstoffs Androstendion zu erzeugen. Aktiviert die Schaltkreise für Sex und Aggression, stellt unbeirrbar der gewünschten Partnerin nach. Der Mann wird wegen seines Selbstvertrauens und Mutes geschätzt und als überzeugender Verführer. Wenn man ihn reizt, wird er wütend.
Vasopressin	Weißer Ritter	Hormon fürs Werben und Monogamie. Schützt aggressiv sein Revier, seine Partnerin und Kinder. Zusammen mit Testosteron verstärkt es die männlichen Gehirnschaltkreise und die Männlichkeit.
Anti-Müller-Hormon (AMH)	Herkules Defeminisierungshormon	Stark, zäh und furchtlos, entfernt erbarmungslos alles Weibliche aus dem Mann. Weckt den Forscherdrang, unterdrückt weibliche Verhaltensweisen. Zerstört während der Embryonalentwicklung die weiblichen Fortpflanzungsorgane, fördert die Bildung der männlichen Fortpflanzungsorgane und Gehirnschaltkreise.
Oxytocin	Löwenbändiger »Ruhig, Brauner«-Hormon	Geborgenheitsgefühle, Kuscheln und Streicheln. Zähmt wilde Bestien, steigert das Einfühlungsvermögen, die romantische Liebe, Bindungsfähigkeit und Vertrauensbil- dung, verringert Stresshormone, senkt den Blutdruck, stärkt die Bindung zwischen Vater und Säugling, Agens der männlichen »postkoitalen Narkolepsie«.
Prolactin	Mr. Mama	Bewirkt bei werdenden Vätern die »Schwangerschaft aus Mitgefühl« (Couvade-Syndrom), verstärkt die Fähigkeit, das Baby weinen zu hören, lässt Schaltkreise für Vaterverhalten entstehen, vermindert den Sexualtrieb.
Cortisol	Gladiator	Wird bei Bedrohung wütend und aufgeregt, fördert die Bereitschaft, bis zum letzten Blutstropfen zu kämpfen.
Androstendion	Romeo Charmanter·Frauenverführer	Wird von der Haut als Pheromon freigesetzt, das den Sexappeal steigert.
Dopamin	Energiespender Partymagnet	Berauschendes Wohlfühlhormon, sorgt für Spaß und Genuss, steigert die orgasmische Ekstase. Ist aufgeregt, höchst motiviert, strebt nach Siegen. Suchtgefahr: Belohnungen machen süchtig, besonders junge Männer und sexaktive Männer.
Östrogen	Königin	Gelegentlich die Triebkraft hinter dem Thron, die weniger mächtig wie Zeus hat. Hält die meisten männlichen Gehirnschaltkreise in Gang. Regt die Oxytocinproduktion an, steigert das Bedürfnis nach Zärtlichkeit und Beziehungswilligkeit.

Zitate zum Thema Männer und Männerliteratur / Men and men's literature

[Edit]

Zitate allgemein

Schlussfolgerungen

Es ist ein Zeichen der kolossalen Vorliebe unserer Kultur für das männliche Prinzip [Yang], dass wir meinen, wir können jedes ernsthafte Stück Literatur entkräften, indem wir es mit Argumenten widerlegen. George Spencer-Brown (1923-
2016) britischer Mathematiker, Psychologe, Songwriter, Dichter, zitiert in: de.Wikipedia, George Spencer-Brown, Status 2017

Männliches Verhalten schwindet – gerade unter Männern. Wir sind Feiglinge, die allenfalls noch mit den Augen rollen.
Prof. Norbert Bolz (*1953) deutscher Philosoph, Medien- und Kommunikationstheoretiker, Autor, präsentiert von der überregionalen deutschen Zeitung Die Tageszeitung (taz) Nr. 8525, S. 3, 8. März 2008; zitiert in: Gute Zitate

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.

Manche Männer versuchen ihr Leben lang, die Frauen zu verstehen, andere begnügen sich mit einfacheren Dingen wie der Relativitätstheorie.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) deutschstämmiger US-amerikanischer theoretischer Physiker, Entwickler der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie, Nobelpreisträger in Physik, 1921, zitiert in: Poeteus. Zitate für Freunde

Die meisten modernen Männer haben niemals die Freuden des Alleinseins kennengelernt. Wir haben es nicht geschafft, unsere Identität, unsere Ziele, den Sinn unseres Lebens unabhängig von unserer Beziehung zu der FRAU zu definieren. […]
Das größte unterentwickelte Land der Welt liegt in der Psyche erfolgreicher Männer. Wenn Männer, die ihre entscheidenden Jahre mit lauter nach außen gerichteten Aktivitäten verbracht haben, zum erstenmal den Blick in ihr Inneres lenken, in das Unbekannte ihrer Seele, dann stoßen sie sehr bald auf eine
große Leere – ein ödes, weites Nichts.

Das Wichtigste [was Jungs brauchen, sind] ein richtig guter Vater und noch ein paar andere Männer im Verwandten- und Freundeskreis, die selbst gern Männer sind, die mit diesem Jungen was unternehmen und ihn so mögen, wie
er ist. Liebe heißt ja nicht, dass man den ganzen Tag schmust. Man muss den Kindern eine Chance geben, ihre Potentiale zu entfalten. [...] Probleme haben wir bei den vielen Jungs, die ohne gute männliche Vorbilder heranwachsen.
Interview mit Prof. DDr. Gerald Hüther gerald-huether.de (*1951) deutscher Neurobiologe, Professor für neurobiologische Grundlagen- und Präventionsforschung, Universität Göttingen, wissenschaftlicher und populärwissenschaftlicher Referent, Autor, Hirnforscher Hüther über Jungs "Das Wichtigste wäre ein richtig guter Vater", präsentiert von der deutschen Frankfurter Allge-
meine Sonntagszeitung, Julia Schaaf, 15. Juni 2015

In einer Gesellschaft, in der man von Männern erwartet, dass sie stark, unabhängig, aggressiv und gefühlsmäßig unempfindlich sind, ist Stress unvermeidlich, worunter die Gesundheit der Männer leidet.
Jungen haben eine neunmal höhere Wahrscheinlichkeit als Mädchen, an Hyperaktivität zu leiden. Junge Männer begehen fünfmal häufiger Selbstmord als junge Frauen. Drogenmissbrauch und antisoziale Persönlichkeitsstörun-
gen bei Männern kommen in weitaus höherem Maß als bei Frauen vor.

Scham und Verletzlichkeit sind die größten Hürden für Männer.

Nach jahrelanger Forschung fand Dr. Brené Brown heraus: Scham ist die Hauptursache für toxische Männlichkeit. Frauen empfinden Scham, wenn sie unrealistische, widerstreitende Erwartungen nicht erfüllen, während sich Männer schämen, weil sie Anzeichen von Schwäche zeigen. Da Verletzlichkeit leider immer noch als Schwachpunkt und nicht als eine Stärke wahrgenommen wird, vermeiden es Männer des öfteren, Konfliktbewältigungsgespräche zu führen, weil dabei auch ihre Brüchigkeit offenbar wird. Aus diesem Grund müssen Männer, die einer Männerselbsthilfegruppe beitreten wollen, genau diese Absicht erklären, um dort nicht nur Freunde finden, sondern auch positive Ergebnisse erzielen zu können.
Statistische Daten: Nur fünf Prozent der Männer suchen ambulante psychiatrische Einrichtungen auf, obwohl sie sich einsamer als jemals zuvor fühlen. (In einer aktuellen britischen Studie gaben 2,5 Millionen Männer zu, keine engen Freunde zu haben.) Und nicht zuletzt verbergen Männer Schmerzen und Krankheiten viel häufiger als Frauen und
sind dreimal so häufig selbstmordgefährdet wie Frauen. Schwarzhäutige Männer haben noch mehr Herausforde-
rungen zu bewältigen – systematische Diskriminierung, rassische Vorurteile und die kulturelle Stigmatisierung von
psychischen Erkrankungen.
Eine Therapie, die sie verpflichtet, lang gehegte männliche Ideale in Frage zu stellen, kann ein sinnerfüllter und trans-
formativer Prozess sein, selbst für Dr. Angela Beards widerwilligste Patienten.
Die bei Veterans Affairs in Dallas, Texas, beschäftigte klinische Psychologin Beards meint dazu: "Männer haben nie gelernt, wie sie ihre emotionalen Bedürfnisse, Gedanken und Gefühle einschätzen können, oder andere zu bitten, ihnen bei der Erfüllung ihrer Bedürfnisse behilflich zu sein. Niemand, einschließlich sie selbst, hat sie jemals gefragt, was Männlichkeit für sie bedeutet. Aus dem therapeutischen Prozess können sie eine Menge Erkenntnisse ziehen."

Ihr Name war Afrika. Sein Name war Frankreich. Er kolonisierte sie, beutete sie aus, brachte sie zum Schweigen,
und noch Jahrzehnte nachdem das angeblich vorbei war, griff er willkürlich in ihre Angelegenheiten ein, an Orten
wie der Elfenbeinküste, die ihren Namen nicht ihrer Identität, sondern ihren Exportgütern zu verdanken hat.
Ihr Name war Asien. Seiner war Europa. Ihr Name war Schweigen. Seiner war Macht. Ihr Name war Armut. Sei-
ner war Reichtum. Ihr Name war SIE, aber was gehörte ihr? Sein Name war ER, und er ging davon aus, dass alles
ihm gehörte und er sie nehmen konnte, ohne zu fragen und ohne Konsequenzen befürchten zu müssen.

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'.¹⁹	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.

Zitate – Krieger, Liebhaber, Magier, König

Klassiker der Männer-Literatur, der die Jungschen Archetypen einbezieht
Dr. Robert Moore (1942-2016) US-amerikanischer Jungscher Psychoanalytiker, Professor für Psychologie,
Berater, Autor, Douglas Gilette, Mitautor, König, Krieger, Magier, Liebhaber. Die Stärken des Mannes,
Kösel Verlag, München, 1992

In der gegenwärtigen Krise der Männlichkeit brauchen wir nicht, wie manche Feministinnen behaupten, weniger maskuline Stärke. Wir brauchen mehr davon. Aber wir brauchen mehr gereifte Männlichkeit. Wir brauchen mehr Mann-Bewusstsein. […]
Wir müssen lernen, authentische maskuline Kraft und Potenz zu zelebrieren, nicht nur um unser Wohlergehen als Männer und unserer Beziehung zu anderen willen, sondern weil sich die Krise der gereiften Männlichkeit mit der globalen Überlebenskrise vereint, in der wir als Gattung stecken.
Teil 1 "Vom Jungen-Bewusstsein zum Mann-Bewusstsein", S. 15-16

An der Spitze der dreieckigen Archetypen-Struktur erfahren wir das Göttliche Kind, das uns erneuert und 'im Herzen jung' hält.
Teil 1 "Vom Jungen-Bewusstsein zum Mann-Bewusstsein", S. 40

Alle unreifen männlichen Energien sind, in der einen und anderen Form, allzusehr mit der Mutter verknüpft, und es mangelt ihnen an der Erfahrung nährender und reifer Männlichkeit.
Teil 1 "Vom Jungen-Bewusstsein zum Mann-Bewusstsein", S. 54

Wie die anderen unreifen männlichen Archetypen lässt der Held eine überstarke Mutterbindung erkennen. Doch der Held verspürt den starken Drang, sie zu überwinden. Er ist in einen Kampf auf Leben und Tod mit dem Weiblichen verstrickt, will es besiegen und seine Männlichkeit beweisen.
Teil 1 "Vom Jungen-Bewusstsein zum Mann-Bewusstsein", S. 61

Der 'Tod' des Helden ist der 'Tod' des Jugendalters, des Jungen-Bewusstseins. Gleichzeitig steht er für die Geburt der Männlichkeit, des Mann-Bewusstseins. Der 'Tod' des Helden im Leben eines Jungen (oder Mannes) bedeutet in Wirk-
lichkeit, dass er schließlich an seine Grenzen gestoßen ist. Er ist dem Feind begegnet, und der Feind ist er selbst.
Er ist seiner dunklen Seite begegnet, seiner sehr unheroischen Seite. Er kämpfte mit dem Drachen und verbrannte
sich; er focht in der Revolution und trank vom Bodensatz seiner eigenen Unmenschlichkeit. Er hat die Mutter besiegt
und dann seine Unfähigkeit eingesehen, die Prinzessin zu lieben. Der 'Tod' des Helden signalisiert die Begegnung
eines Jungen oder Mannes mit wahrer Demut. Es ist das Ende seines heroischen Bewusstseins.
Teil 2 "Die Entschlüsselung der männlichen Psyche – die vier Archetypen gereifter Männlichkeit", S. 64

Der vollendete Archetyp des Königs besitzt die Eigenschaften der Geordnetheit, des besonnenen und rationalen
Gestaltgebens, der Integration und Integrität in der männlichen Psyche. Er glättet chaotische Gefühle, bremst unmäßiges Verhalten. Er bringt Festigkeit, Zentrierung und Gelassenheit. […]
Der König sorgt sich um sein ganzes Reich, er ist der oberste Verwalter von Natur und menschlicher Gesellschaft.
Es ist die Energie, manifestiert in alten Mythen, des 'Hirten seines Volkes', des 'Gärtners', des Schutzherrn der Pflan-
zen und Tiere im Königreich. Es ist die Stimme, die klar, gelassen und mit Autorität, als Fürsprecher der Menschen-
rechte für alle auftritt. Es ist die Energie, die geringste Strafen und höchstes Lob ausspricht. Es ist die Stimme, die
aus unserer Mitte, vom archatischen Berg in jedem Menschen erschallt.

General quotes

Personal avowals

It was slow in dawning on me that women had an overwhelming influence on my life and on the lives of all the men I knew. Sam Keen, Ph.D. (1931-2025) US American professor of religion and philosophy, author, Fire in the Belly. On Being a Man, S. 194, Bantam, April 1991, reissued paperback 1. March 1992

The image of WOMAN in men's heads is more threatening to them than the women in the beds or boardrooms.

One of the major tasks of manhood is to explore the unconscious feelings that surround our various images of WOMAN, to dispel false mystification, to dissolve the vague sense of threat and fear, and finally to learn to respect and love the strangeness of womankind. […]
It may be useful to think about sexual-spiritual maturation – the journey to manhood – as a process of changing WOMAN into women, into Jane (or one certain woman), of learning to see members
of the opposite sex not as archetypes or members of a class but as individuals. […]
And these archetypical creatures – goddesses, bitches, angels, Madonnas, castrators, witches, Gypsy maidens,
earth mothers – must be exorcised from our minds and hearts before we can learn to love women.

From boyhood to manhood

Patriarchy is the expression of the immature masculine. It is the expression of Boy psychology, and, in part, the shadow – or crazy – side of masculinity. It expresses the stunted masculine, fixated at immature levels.
Patriarchy, in our view, is an attack on masculinity in its fullness as well as femininity in its fullness. Those caught
up in the structures and dynamics of patriarchy seek to dominate not only women but men as well. Patriarchy is
based on fear – the boy's fear, the immature masculine's fear – of women, to be sure, but also fear of men. Boys
fear women. They also fear real men.
What is missing is not, for the most part, what many depth psychologists assume is missing; that is, adequate connection with the inner feminine. In many cases, these men seeking help had been, and were continuing to be, overwhelmed by the feminine. What they were missing was an adequate connection to the deep and instinctual masculine energies, the potentials of mature masculinity. They were being blocked from connection to these po-
tentials by patriarchy itself, and by the feminist critique upon what little masculinity they could still hold onto for
themselves. Robert Moore, Ph.D. (1942-2016) US American Jungian psychoanalyst, professor of psychology, consultant,
theorist, author, Douglas Gilette, US American author, King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. Rediscovering the Archetypes of the
Mature Masculine, HarperOne, reprint 16. August 1991

After years of research, depth psychologists and others argue that each sex carries both the psychological and
physical traits of the other. No man is purely masculine, just as there is no purely feminine woman. Jungian
psychologists call the feminine characteristics of the male psyche the Anima; the female psyche's masculine
characteristics they the Animus.
Both the Animus and Anima develop in complex fashion as the personality grows to maturity. Neither men nor
women can reach psychological maturity without integrating their respective contrasexual other. A man's fem-
ale elements enhance his manhood, just as a woman's male aspects enhance her womanhood.

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.

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.

[Man] will only be able to see the wound that secretly troubles him when he puts it into someone else. Then, he’ll feel strangely better for a moment. The old ideas of initi-

Father wound

In the heart of every man is a hunger for his father. It's one of those inevitable things. It happens in both boys and girls actually, but the essence of this hunger is vitally different. There is something about the connection between the child and the same-sex parent that, when unmet, creates a gaping hole in their souls.

Definition of patriarchy

Bit by bit, over a period of years, I came to understand.
- That patriarchy is organized around principles that explain the patterns that result, just as the rules and principles of football makes sense of all that running around and knocking people down.
- That patriarchy is male-dominated and organized around a masculine obsession with control.
- That it is male-identified and male-centered. […]

We are taught to expect that […] real men are always in control, especially in relation to women, except for their mothers, with which no woman is to be confused […].
And the key to it all is that violence is a means of control, and to be in control of something is to be unaccountable to it, whether it's a pencil or a person. […]
The obsession with control turns everything into an object with no room for empathy, for imagining another point
of view, a subjectivity the equal of a man's. […]
Most men do not rape and never would, but in their silent complicity in the myth of manhood there lies a pro-
found ambivalence toward women and themselves that affirms and grants permission to the men who do and will.

Blog by Allan G. Johnson, Ph.D., US American sociologist, public speaker, novelist, writer on social inequality, Why Men
Rape, part 2, 17. October 2013

Men are rewarded or punished not for what they do but for how their acts are defined. That is why men are more interested in better justifying themselves than in better behaving themselves. Thomas S.

Shame and vulnerability are men's biggest obstacles.

In her years of research Brené Brown found: Shame is the single biggest cause of toxic masculinity. Whereas women experience shame when they fail to meet unrealistic, conflicting expectations, men become consumed with shame for showing signs of weakness. Since vulnerability is, unfortunately, still perceived as a weakness instead of a strength, having hard conversations that involve vulnerability is something men often try to avoid. It's for this reason that to
yield positive results from men's support groups, men must enter such groups with that very intention – not just
to find buddies.
Statistics: Only five percent of men seek outpatient mental health services, despite feeling lonelier than ever before
(in a recent British study, 2.5 million men admitted to having no close friends). What's more, men conceal pain and illness at much higher rates than women, and are three times more likely than women to commit suicide. Black men face an added set of barriers, including systemic discrimination, racial stereotypes, and cultural stigma against men-
tal illness.
Forced to question long-held masculine ideals, therapy can be a meaningful and transformative process, even for
her most reluctant patients.
Dr. Angela Beard, clinical psychologist at the Veterans Affairs in Dallas, Texas: "Men have never been taught how
to identify what their emotional needs are, their thoughts and feelings, or to express how someone can help them ful-
fill these. No one has ever asked them what masculinity means to them, and they've never asked themselves. They
can get a lot of insight from this process." Article Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden, presented by the
US American women's fashion magazine Haarper's Bazaar, Melanie Hamlett, 2. May 2019

Men all around the world at heart are beauty kings. They all want world peace and love and tolerance and respect.
[…] I think men have put themselves into a box through wanting to control everything, rule everything, that they've had to pretend that they are much harder than they really are. I think that most men at heart are terribly sensual, very soft,
very loving. […] We need to liberate men [from this coat of armor], not women.

Psychology of male world leaders
Likely aware that Angela Merkel had been bitten by a dog in 1995 and might still be frightened by the experience,
Vladimir Putin allowed his black Labrador to run up on her at a public meeting end 2014.

I understand why he [Russian president Putin] has to do this – to prove he's a man. He's afraid of his own weakness. Russia has nothing, no successful politics or economy. All they have is this.

[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 activist, author

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 wo-
men 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 grue-

cles actually amplify and the males' go down. The hypothe-

press their emotional feelings.

The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands
of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an
individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power
that will assault his self-esteem. bell hooks [Gloria Jean Watkins] (*1952) US American feminist, social activist, author, The Will To Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, S. 66, Washington Square Press, 21. December 2004; cited in: Wikiquote

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.

Shadow

Masculine split-mindedness

Despite all attempts at denial and obfuscation there is an unconscious factor, a black sun, which is responsible for the surprisingly common phenomenon of masculine split-mindedness, when the right hand mustn't know what the left is doing.
This split in the masculine psyche and the regular darkening of the moon in woman together explain the remarkable fact that the woman is accused of all the darkness in a man, while he himself basks in the thought that he is a veritable fount of vitality and illumination for the females in his environment.
Actually he would be better advised to shroud the brilliance of his mind in the profoundest doubt. It is not difficult for this type of mind (which besides other things is a great trickster like Mercurius) to admit a host of sins in the most convincing way, and even to combine it with a spurious feeling of ethical superiority without in the least approximating to a genuine insight.
This can never be achieved without the participation of feeling; but the intellect admits feeling only when it is conve-
nient. The novilunium of woman is a source of countless disappointments for man which easily turns to bitterness, though they could equally well be a source of wisdom if they were understood.
Naturally this is possible only if he is prepared to acknowledge his black sun, that is, his Shadow.

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.

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.

[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.

To be wild is not to be crazy or psychotic. True wildness is
- a love of nature,
- a delight in silence,
- a voice free to say spontaneous things, and
- an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown.

Robert Bly (1926-2021) US American leader of the Mythopoetic men's movement, activist, poet, author, cited in: Quotes About Psychotic Love, presented by the website morefamousquotes.com

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.

A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact, he hasn't the ability to see a woman, objecti-
vely speaking, until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman. The same is true for a woman and her interior masculine. Jung's concept of the animus within women and the anima within men is the most important single thing in this whole subject. Interview with Robert A.

Most men get their deepest conviction of self-worth from a woman, wife, mother, or if they are highly conscious, from their own anima. The woman sees and shows the man his value by lighting the lamp. Robert A. Johnson (1921-2018) US American Jungian analyst, lecturer, author, She. Understanding Feminine Psychology, 1976, Harper Perennial, revised edition 1. November 1989

A man depends largely on woman for the light in the family as he is not well equipped at finding meaning for himself. Life is often dry and barren for him unless someone bestows meaning on life for him. With a few words, a woman can give meaning to a whole day's struggle and a man will be so grateful. A man knows and wants this; he
will edge up to it, initiate little occasions so that a woman can shed some light for him. When he comes home and re-
counts the events of the day, he is asking her to bestow meaning on them. This is the light-bearing quality of a woman.

Eight secrets men carry within
1. Men's lives are as much governed by restrictive role expectations as are the lives of women.
2. Men's lives are essentially governed by fear.
3. The power of the feminine is immense in the psychic economy of men.
4. Men collude in a conspiracy of silence whose aim is to suppress their emotional truth.
5. Because men must leave Mother, and transcend the mother complex, wounding is necessary.
6. Men's lives are violent because their souls have been violated.
7. Every man carries a deep longing for his father and for his tribal Fathers.
8. If men are to heal, they must activate within what they did not receive from without.

Today, of course, I know that "they", the tribal elders of our time, did not know what it means to be a man either. They similarly were uninitiated and could hardly pass on the mys-
teries and liberating knowledge they themselves lacked.
S. 16
In any relationship a man is largely at the mercy of what he does not know about himself. And the extent to which he is in the dark is the degree to which his own inner woman is projected onto another person. Since projection is by defini-
tion a dynamic whereby unconscious contents are experien-
ced as outer, a man is always falling in love with or fearing his own unconscious material. S. 42
The man who denies that the mother-child relationship is fundamental, that it influences everything he feels about himself, about life and about others, lives in profound igno-
rance. And, of course, that of which he is ignorant will be projected onto others. S. 50
What the modern man most suffers from, is the wounding without transformation. He suffers the Saturnian burden of role definition that confines rather than liberates. He suffers the skewers in the soul without the godly vision. He is asked to be a man when no none can define it except in the most trivial terms. He is asked to move from boyhood to manhood without any rites of passage, with no wise elders to receive and instruct him, and no positive sense of what such a manhood might feel like. His wounds are not transformative; they do not bring deepened consciousness: they
do not lead him to a richer life. They senselessly, repeatedly, stun him into a numbing of the soul before the body has
had the good sense to die. S. 75-76
Yes, it is necessary that men be wounded to help them break free from the Mother. But it is also that those wounds further growth. Today's man suffers his wounds in isolation, but his reaction troubles and damages those around him. He must begin by acknowledging the wounds he carries, wounds that leak daily into his life, if ever he is to heal him-
self or help his world. S. 82
Sons need to have their father tell them what they need to know to live "out there", and how to live with integrity. Sons need to see father living his life, struggling, being emotional, failing and falling, getting up again, being human. When
a son does not see his father honestly living his personal journey, then the son will have to find his paradigms else-
where, or, worse, unconsciously live out the father's untaken journey. This is in accordance with Jung's observation
that the greatest burden the child must bear is the unlived life of the parents. S. 90

Hephaistos ♦ Zeus ♦ Athena myth

Here we have a famous alchemical symbol. The alchemist is chopping the head open of an old man – right where the pineal gland is [located]. And then Athena, or this woman, this Goddess, comes out. What it is saying is when you free your pineal gland your inner power is revealed. And it's strange because the inner power is not masculine. It's feminine, because men actually can't create anything. It's women who create everything. Men create culture for women, but
it's women who told me to create culture. […]
When we understand the secret of the pineal gland then we're going to be liberated. We're going to first understand what a terrible predicament we're in. And then we're going to have an extended life span which is going to stop the freaky kind of life that we're living now where we're trying to get everything done at once, because they're so afraid we're going to die. When we're liberated from this idea of death no one can control us.

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 cocre-
ate a relationship but only one person to end it.

Paraphrased results of 75 year-long study on over 200 men (1938-2012)

Men growing into their nineties

Memories of a happy childhood are a lifelong source of strength.
Recovery from a lousy childhood is possible.
Alcohol abuse is by far the greatest disruptor of health and happiness.
Marriage brings much more contentment to men after age 70.
Men who do well in old age did not necessarily do so well in midlife, and vice versa.
Men who had ‘warm’ childhood relationships with their mothers – not their fathers – earned $87,000 more per year than men whose mothers did not bond well with them.
A warm childhood relationship with their mothers had no significant bearing on men's life satisfaction at age 75.
Men who had poor childhood relationships with their mothers were much more likely to develop dementia in old age.
Men who had a warm childhood relations with fathers had lower rates of adult anxiety, greater enjoyment on vaca-
tions, and increased ‘life satisfaction’ at age 75.
Physical aging with grace and vitality of men after 80 is determined less by heredity habits than by healthy habits formed prior to age 50.

Autumn foliage

Emotional armor is not easy to shed, nor should it be. It has formed for a reason – as a requirement for certain responsibilities, as a conditioned respon-
se to real circumstances, as a defense against un-
bearable feelings. It has served an essential pur-
pose. It has saved lives. Yet it can be softened over
time. It can melt into the tendernest at its core. It can reveal the light at its source. But never rush it, never push up against it, never demand it to drop its guard before its time. Because it knows something you don't. In a still frightening world, armor is no less valid than vulnerability. Let it shed at its own unique pace.

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.

Men are afraid to be women. Men make the wars and have interest in hate and killing. They have unstable energy. Men must accept their female side and then there will be balance.
Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, source unknown

Softness in a man is also very commonly equated with sexual failure, an inability to get it up or keep it up – a hard-not-
to-notice failure to stay hard. More than a few men refer to their genitals as their manhood; not being able to sustain
an erection – that is, being soft – easily gets associated with a loss of manhood.
Men nonetheless need to soften, and also to strip "softening" of its negative connotations. Yes, a man can be overly
soft, marooned from power and the capacity for rock-solid firmness, but softness itself makes possible vulnerability,
empathy, compassion, emotional literacy, and genuinely deep connections with others.
Softening can be a profoundly healing undertaking, helping to make more room for pain and difficulty, enriching a
man's capacity for deep relationship, rendering him more flexible and permeable, more heartful – especially when
that softening coexists with steadfastness and firmness. An example of such coexistence can be seen in fierce
compassion, wherein we’re both forceful and soft, both angered and caring.

Minimal or no father involvement, whether due to divorce, death, or imprisonment, is common to Adam Lanza,
Elliott Rodgers, Dylan Roof and Stephen Paddock.
In the case of 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz, he was adopted at birth. His adoptive dad died when Nikolas was much younger, and doubtless the challenges of this fatherlessness was compounded by the death of his adoptive mom
three and a half months ago.
The rate of mass shootings has tripled since 2011. We blame guns, violence in the media, violence in video games,
and poor family values. Each is a plausible player. But our daughters live in the same homes, with the same access
to the same guns, video games, and media, and are raised with the same family values. Our daughters are not kil-
ling. Our sons are.
But boys with significant father involvement are not doing these shootings. Without dads as role models, boys' testo-
sterone is not well channeled. The boy experiences a sense of purposelessness, a lack of boundary enforcement,
rudderlessness, and often withdraws into video games and video porn. At worst, when boys' testosterone is not
well-channeled by an involved dad, boys become among the world's most destructive forces. When
boys' testosterone is well channeled by an involved dad, boys become among the world's most constructive forces.

If there is any chance of decreasing the number of instances of sexual misconduct committed by males towards
females in our society, it is imperative that men first begin to widely accept the facts that "No" ALWAYS means "No"
and that if a male proceeds sexually in any way, after he hears the word, his behavior risks being considered se-
xual coercion and/or sexual assault or rape. Article Men and Sexual Misconduct: There is Always a Choice, presented
by the publication Feminine Collective, John Michael Antonio, 2. February 2018

Male rage is rooted in the collective self-alienation and isolation that is part and parcel of our culture of man-
hood. In her book When Boys Become Boys, Dr. Judy Y. Chu of Stanford University documents how our sons
are taught to hide their early capacity for being emotionally perceptive, articulate, and responsive. Starting in pre-
school, our young boys learn to align their behaviors with "the emotionally disconnected stereotype our culture
projects onto them."
"Boys are taught to hide vulnerable emotions like sadness, fear, and pain, which imply weakness and are stereoty-
pically associated with femininity," Chu writes. They are alienating what would be natural parts of themselves.
Our culture tells our sons "don’t be a sissy" or "be a man", but the message is clear: Don't be a woman, women are less. As early as age four, boys are already being taught to reject the feminine, constructing a version of themselves that integrates women’s second-class status into their masculine identities. This drumbeat condemnation of the fe-
minine is the perfect trap, cementing in place the interlocking double bind of misogyny and self-alienation that is the
man box.
The deep irony of all of this is that the men don't feel empowered by male privilege. What they feel is trapped in
silos of social and emotional isolation, under siege, as millions of women and other men rebel against an antiquated
social contract that systematically cuts us off from deeper, more authentic human connection.
Niobe Way, author of Deep Secrets, documents how we shame and bully our adolescent sons into giving up their loving friendships in order to prove a destructive and isolating set of negatives. In Way's words, "rather than focu-
sing on who they are, they become obsessed with who they are not, they are not girls, little boys nor, in the case of
heterosexual boys, are they gay. In response to a cultural context that links intimacy in male friendships with an age,
a sex (female), and a sexuality (gay), these boys mature into men who are autonomous, emotionally stoic, and iso-
lated." Blog article by Mark Greene, US American senior editor at Good Men Project, blogger, author, Anger and the Brutal Contradictions of Masculinity. Why American men are in crisis, and what we can do about it, presented by the stories outlet

➤ It's not LGBTQ, or any other initials out there.
➤ It's not fake news or #MeToo.
➤ We are being cheated by our own culture of manhood.

The isolating impact of the man box is at the heart of our culture's epidemic levels of male isolation, addiction, depression, violence and suicide. So, even as man box culture condemns those closest to us, our own mothers, wives and daughters, to second class status, it is also cheating us out of living fully authentic, connected lives. And

Research results regarding the emergence of IMS on 30.000 growing up to 60.000 men worldwide

The IMS Questionnaire. Do You Have Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS), offered by Jed Diamond, 2004

I define Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) as a state of hypersensitivity, anxiety, frustratrion and anger that occurs in males and is associated with biochemical changes, hormonal fluctuations, stress, and a loss of male identity.
The four key causes of IMS are:
1. Hormonal fluctuations
2. Changes in brain chemistry
3. Increasing stress
4. Loss of male identity and increasing role confusion.
What the women have told me that one of the characterictics of IMS is generally denial.

Literary quotes

The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest: asceticism becomes in them nature, need, and instinct. Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation. Knowledge – a form of asceticism. They are the most venerable kind of man: that does not preclude their being the most cheerful and the kindliest. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) German classical scholar, critic of culture, philologist, philosopher of nihilism, writer, The Antichrist, Alfred Kröner Verlag, Leipzig, 1895

Humor

All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

Quotes by Richard Rohr – Male spirituality and initiation

Two brothers from Haiti

The males of most cultures will ordinarily define themselves by external performance, self created ordeals, and ego affir-
ming tasks – unless they are offered a very real inner world and larger outer world that is even more alive and challen-
ging.
[…] Older cultures seemed to assume that unless the male is led on deliberate journeys of powerlessness, he will nor-
mally 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, cited in: deleted article Made not Born: Men and Power, presented by the former publication malespirituality.org, July 2003

Article by Father Richard Rohr O.F.M. (*1943) US American Franciscan friar, enneagram teacher, author, Masculine Spirituality, originally published in "Praying – Spirituality for Everyday Living",
September-October 1988, reissued by the Men's Fellowship, undated

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.

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).

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.

A masculine spirituality would emphasize action over theory, service to the human community over religious dis-
cussions, speaking the truth over social graces, and doing justice over looking nice. Without a complementary mas-
culine, spirituality becomes overly feminine (which is really a false feminine!) and characterized by too much inward-
ness, preoccupation with relationships, a morass of unclarified feeling, and endless self-protectiveness.

Such a man has life for others and knows it. He does not need to push, intimidate, or play the power games com-
mon 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.

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 know-
ing. 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!

The feminine is more comfortable with the interior, the soul;
the masculine is more comfortable with the exterior world.

The entire process of initiation allows a man to experience five essential tough insights on male initiation.

Life is hard.
You are not that important.
Your life is not about you.
You are not in control.
You are going to die.

Quotes by Warren Farrell – Men's movement and gender transition

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-protector²⁰ 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'.²¹	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 move-
ments 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 avowals

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. However, I oppose skipping past a men's movement until men have equally articulated our perspective. I think then and only then we'll be able for a synthesis.

When Farrell he retracted from false feminist conclusions around 1992 Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan alienated him, unwilling to listen to his arguments.

I had to redefine what a friend was, because among my friends were Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, and people who were significant players in the feminist movement. I didn't realize that if a person breaks from you because you differ in their ideology, is that a friend? Or is a friend somebody who respects your integrity and listens to you very well and requires you to listen to him or her and to represent them well as well, or is that what a friend is. The most important characteristic for me of a friend is integrity and also the ability to put down other priorities and go out of their way to involve with me
at points in time when I need them and expect the same with me.

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.

The biology of women in a survival-focused world was the child raising and that left the social role of men to raising the money to support the biological role of women. And it's not been until industrialized societies had enough income to help society progress from what I call a
- Stage 1, which is survival-focused to
- Stage 2, which is focused on the balance between survival and self-fulfillment,

that we could produce people who were able to focus on what rights and opportunities they had.

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 wo-
men tending to the private. These roles became increasingly reinforced throughout history, as biological necessity de-
termined 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 success-
ful at work are inversely related to what it takes to be successful in love.

Falling in love is biologically natural; sustaining love is biologically un-natural. Sustaining love requires a learned discipline. The discipline of love. The discipline of understanding our partner.

Critisizing is a call for more intimacy.

The best intent of a criticizer is to make the relationship better – to increase intimacy. But almost everyone who hears any request for any change in attitude or behavior wants to "kill" the criticizer. Which doesn't increase intimacy.

Practicing black love – receiving personal criticism

The Achilles' Heel of humans is our inability to handle personal criticism – especially when given by a loved one – especially when given badly. (Of course, all criticism feels like it is given badly.) The discipline of love starts with the discipline of knowing how to emotionally associate being criticized with being loved; that's the best way to make our partner
feel safe sharing her or his feelings. The discipline continues with the art and discipline of appreciating each other.

Lost innocence

When a man falls in love with an innocent woman, he "falls in love" because her "innocence" allows him to get a reunion within himself with the part in himself that got lost in the process of protecting her innocence.

Dirty jokes

We're often told that dirty jokes are the male method of intimidating women.
In fact, men tell dirty jokes to peers to bond to peers not to intimidate peers.
When a boss tells a dirty joke it's often his unconscious way of getting to say not to take him so seriously and therefore not being intimidated.

Hazing

Men always tested men [by hazing them] before they trusted men.
We must realize that male hazing was not an outcome of men being powerful but it is an outcome of men making themselves part of the machine, part of the team (like in the military). And not taking things personally [and disconnecting them from their feelings] was a part of that.
Historically, the defenses that men created to be able to handle hazing was their armor, but it was armor to other
people not to wear armor.

When a man is able to connect with his feelings, he is able to care more. When he is able to connect with the father that was missing, he’s able to both care more and recognize the importance of being a good father. When you care about being a good father, you start caring more about your own children and the type of father you are.

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. What is true is that both sexes have roles that can legitimately be considered oppressive, but those roles are not roles designed by men or women, they were designed by biological necessity and the necessity of survival. Survival was the oppressor. And in order
to survive, you didn’t teach people to focus on rights, you taught them to focus on responsibilities, you taught them
to focus on obligations.

Father and son

So frequently today I see our daughters, who are inte-
rested [...] 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 develop-
ment over the millennia.

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 hi-
story.
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 al-
ways 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.

The feminist movement never understood or gave credit to the sacrifices in work. They always made it seem like work was privilege, work was power. No, work was responsibility that gave up power.

Three different types of men and nine forms of manhood

In the current time of transition outlived definitions of masculinity have collapsed.
Awake men heed the call to evolve into a genuine co-creative man centered in their spiritual core.

Evolving from animal man ⇒ social man ⇒ genuine cocreative man

༺༻	Type of man	Substage	Subtype of man	Features	Characteristics
1.	Animal man Reptilian brain	Regressed Transitional Evolved	Toxic man Striving man Responsible man	Traditional: Driven by effort and survival, defined by a sense of resistance, will to succeed, desire for victory	Aggressive, competitive
2.	Social man Mammalian brain	Regressed Transitional Evolved	Retreating man Confused man Equal man	Modern: Attracted by ease and belonging, characterized by a sense of flow, need for acceptance, will toward harmony	Receptive, cooperative
3.	Cocreative·man Neo-cortical brain Genuine man developing his divine genius	Regressed Transitional Evolved	Despairing man Searching man Spiritually·confident·man	Postmodern: Constituted by elevation and thriving, evoked by a sense of interaction, will to give, and commitment to transformation	Interactive, collaborative

"Men are so accustomed to seeing the worth of their identity in terms of "doer" or "master" that many men fail to recognize the absolute spiritual necessity of being mastered by a larger intelligence. […] The only helpful "mastery" for
a man is mastery of himself, including mastery of his impulses to enlarge himself or mistake the pretensions of his ego
for "vision." Chapter 1 "Exploring a New Frontier", S. 13/14

"The Animal Man (the traditional version of manhood) and the Social Man (the modern version of manhood) have lar-
gely played themselves out. There is still a need for men to draw from their energies and wisdom, but these models of manhood can no longer serve as guiding metaphors for male growth and contribution."
Chapter 2 "Examining The Seeds – The Animal Man, The Social Man, And The Co-Creative Man", S. 21

"Many of the problems of men and male identity today can be traced to the men's tendencies to compartmentalize and rank their different modes of being as oppositional to each other."
Chapter 2 "Examining The Seeds – The Animal Man, The Social Man, And The Co-Creative Man", S. 25

"A spiritually confident man

does not confine his masculinity to heroic images and stories.
trusts the heart of his spiritual character.
recognizes that strict independence is an illusion.
knows he is ultimately connected. His existence is always interdependent.
acknowledges that masculinity is not primarily about "consciousness" but the active cultivation of spiritual energy and human elevation.
aims to thoroughly embrace the flow of spirit.
is a master only of himself. In all other interactions, he is a beginner.
embraces life.
is epitomized by gratitude.
is ecstatic to be living and breathing and shows it by daring to live life to its fullest."

Chapter 1 "Exploring a New Frontier", S. 10ff

"Spiritual confidence

is the courage to be seen for what and who you are.
has the advantage of unifying a man amid his fragments.
encourages emotional range and intellectual vitality.
embraces the healthy, constructive, and creative tension between maleness and femaleness, without ladening it with stereotypical opposition and "battle of the sexes" rhetoric or tailing away toward to a
generic androgyny.
realizes that there is always something greater and deeper than himself.
aspires to full vitality, which he knows is identical with full virility."

Chapter 3 "Tending the Garden", S. 82/84/88/97

"The spiritually confident man welcomes reciprocity, that is, he accepts the desirability of a woman initiating and asserting her own needs, but then engages in a conversational banter, an enthralling dance of support and challenge
that engages and mixes his talents and initiative with hers."
Chapter 3 "Tending the Garden", S. 86

"Integrity is what a noble man aspires to, and isolation is what he feels."
Chapter 4 "Cultivating The Fruit – The Emerging Man", S. 111

"You say to reach out and tell our story and be vulnerable, but do you see those books you just signed for my wife and daughters? [...] They'd rather me die on top of my white horse than watch me fall down. When we (men) reach out and be vulnerable, we get the shit beat out of us, and don't tell me it's from the guys and the coaches and the dads, because the women in my life are harder on me than anyone else."

Crime rate – boys	⚑ Boys perpetrate 95% of the violent crimes at the juvenile level.	²⁴ / ²⁵
Victimization	⚑ Men are the victims of the majority of violent crime, but also far less likely to report it for fear of appearing weak. One survey found that 40% of the victims of domestic violence are men, yet they were far less likely to report the violence and far less likely to be taken seriously by police.	²⁶
Imprisonment	⚑ Men are 10 times more likely to commit murder and nine times more likely than women to end up in prison.	²⁷
Sexual·misconduct	⚑ Men commit 99% of the reported rapes and sexual assaults.	²⁸
Suicide – men	⚑ Men commit suicide at a rate five times that of women.	²⁹
Suicide – boys	⚑ Teenage boys commit suicide nine times more often than girls.	³⁰

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.

1. Selbstidealisierung – überhöhtes Selbstwertgefühl und überzogene Selbsteinschätzung
2. Fremdabwertung – Verachtung und aktive Herabsetzung von Mitmenschen
3. Selbstimmanenz – im Gegensatz zur Selbsttranszendenz vertreten von Victor Frankl und Robert Cloninger.
