Here

Last year at the 21 Convension, I did a speech. I've already posted it, but at the end there were a few questions from the audience. they were wondering what their rite of passage should be, or how he gets to become a man, an alpha, or whatever their aspirations. I dismissed them all with a joke about ripping out a deer heart and eating it. I find that spoon-feeding masculinity is silly, and counter productive. It took me a year, and a lot of notes with a lot of other men on here.

Eventually, I came to the conclusion. Why guys complain about the lifting mantra (the only thing that achieves both) why they brag about things that are what they are good at, but society continues to show how little value is on it, and how women are taking over in the things we used to be good at (provisioning).

Eventually, whats left?

I'll warn you now. There is no feel-good about the good old days, nostalgia for how our grandfathers had it. If anything, it's enjoying the decline. Can you fuck and can you fight ... In the modern sense of the word. I don't think it's going to resonate here, most of you are long in the tooth, and either have it, or don't. You don't need me to tell you one way or the other. For you, I am posting it to consider all the bullshit things we pretend make us men, or things that are valued so little, we need to stop patting ourselves on the back for them.
