    🔮Hidden Depths
    💡Learnt A Lot

    The chapter of Male Sexuality is illuminating, the chapter regarding Male Spirit is rather obscure and a low point for me. All in all, a rather good read with lots of bits to re-read and ponder about.

Quotes

    “Don’t wait until your life is near it’s end to find your feeling, to follow your heart. Don’t wait until it’s too late.”
  • ivanilla8has quoted3 months ago
    Poor and working-class male children and grown men often embody the worst strains of patriarchal masculinity, acting out violently because it is the easiest, cheapest way to declare one’s “manhood.” If you cannot prove that you are “much of a man” by becoming president, or becoming rich, or becoming a public leader, or becoming a boss, then violence is your ticket in to the patriarchal manhood contest, and your ability to do violence levels the playing field.
  • ivanilla8has quoted3 months ago
    Men who win on patriarchal terms end up losing in terms of their substantive quality of life. They choose patriarchal manhood over loving connection, first foregoing self-love and then the love they could give and receive that would connect them to others.
