Speaking on behalf of the masculine collective, some real talk.

Women, can men speak their truth without you attacking them and feeling like you need to police it and inject something defensive and/or without feeling like you need to school them on masculine/feminine dynamics?

Are you able to keep your emotions in check and simply listen and hold that space for the masculine collective to truly express itself without gripping a “toxic masculinity” bat ready to swing?

Can you listen/read without anticipating something triggering to be said to use against him or me as you read my post?

Can you turn off the narcissist filter for a moment and feel into the pain and the voice of the [silent majority] within the masculine collective?

My post the other day about the female collective proves that women are deeply interested in what men actually have to say. I have deep respect for the women that saw the post with the correct lens and used it as a mirror to inspect themselves.

The message was specifically for men. But it was refreshing to see how receptive so many women were to it.

They want more men to speak up.

But the truth is that many within the masculine collective do not feel safe to speak their truth right now. They’re just watching and Observing. They’d rather not get involved in that mess.

The reason is because men are constantly being reminded that their masculinity is toxic. They are constantly being reminded of the sins of other abusive men both past and present. They are constantly told that the masculine collective is fallen and need to rise and catch up to the feminine. Which is an absurd thing to impose on men.

They feel as though they are forced to walk on eggshells in regards to addressing the issues women have with men. Unfortunately some men have cracked under that pressure and submitted to it. So they become emasculated and indoctrinated slaves and drones of female created and controlled masculine rhetoric.

I’ve seen this with my own eyes. Where some men have were so afraid and emasculated that they instead reverted to parroting female rhetoric just to get female validation. Like a puppy that did something their master approved of and got a treat and told “good boy”. So it creates this mental pattern of doing the same to get that validation.

They lose all self respect and attract women who are very domineering and manipulating who resent them or they don’t attract any at all because being emasculated is deeply unattractive to the majority of women.

Real masculine rising involves men stepping into their roles and even checking women if needed and not crack when she reacts.

I could go on and on but my point is that men want to rise up and many of them are. However, many women are getting in the way of that because of their own fears and because they are trying to define what it looks like and impose those ideas on men. That is out of place.
