Intro

The mature, healthy, male ego is central to the stability of both society and the family and it is the seat of marital contentment for both a man and his wife. Without a healthy, well-adjusted ego, men cannot give their best to their employers, coworkers, girlfriends, wives, families, and children.  A man’s ego is central to his confidence and charisma, which are traits highly valued by women. Children cannot do well in life unless their father has a healthy ego.

In our modern gynocentric culture, the masculine ego has taken a direct hit. The church and society at large always cater to what women demand from men, and gives no consideration as to what would actually build up men and enable them to provide and deliver. The intended purpose is to reduce man to a hollow obedient workhorse for the supposed benefit of women and society — but this strategy is foolish because weak hypoagentic men can offer no real benefits.

Suppressing Unrecognized Latent Masculinity

When a woman attacks a man’s ego, she is destroying his confidence and his reputation. She is also attacking the integrity of his soul by tearing down the main channel of communication between his heart and his mind.  Even though a woman has so much to gain by reinforcing her man’s ego, women never fail to notice men’s weaknesses and deliver a well-placed kick in the nuggets — right there.

Even the Manosphere, which presumes to help men by advocating game, charisma, confidence, and sexual prowess, has harmed the egos of those men who cannot compete against stronger players in the SMP.

Worse…  Antagonizing, destabilizing, and mocking the male ego is a very effective strategy of Satan to tear down men and to insult and destroy the glory of God in man. Paging Sh!tlord Sharkly.

Thus, it should not come as a surprise that the male ego has taken a direct hit en masse.

Conclusions

As flimsy and superficial as the male ego might appear to women, therein lies the root strength of his masculinity and self-esteem. Poking holes in it just for fun and knocking it down to give her own ego a boost will only leave her with a lesser man. If a woman feels the NEED to do this, and/or a false compunction when she DOESN’T, then she’s delineating herself as a minion of evil.

Men need to become more ego-conscious, and learn to draw boundaries to protect and nurture their own egos — simply because it is crucially important to a man’s well-being, and because no one else will do it for them.

Women need to do whatever they can to protect and nurture their man’s ego. Any woman’s effort great or small to stimulate her man’s ego can be ascribed as virtuous behavior for the reasons mentioned above. There are no excuses because it is SOOO EASY for women to do this. Upcoming posts will reveal several ways that women can stroke a man’s ego.
