There are many ways to label things in our world. It is how we attempt to make sense of things. Of late, labels for defining males and have become the point of attack because there are people interested in altering societal behavior.
It would be nice to think that everyone wishes to exert positive influence on others for the other’s good. Of course, this isn’t the case. Influencers often see others as just numbers, voters, consumers, or cattle, and their ambition is to grow their reach usually for some financial gain. Obviously, this is a great business model for social media influencers, but it also works through classic businesses and advertising as well. Not to mention politics. Votes are power and can place people into offices of political control.
Now, back to masculinity and femininity. This is built into all life above single-cell organisms at the level of the genetic code. Because, apparently, education is in general extremely weak, children are easily brainwashed to believe the most inane things, and most adults don’t want to trigger them - especially when it means going against other adult influencers in their lives. So, in today’s world masculinity and femininity are in a blender. Neither male or female on its own seems good enough anymore. They are apparently are too toxic or weak to give their owners what they need to be happy.
But what seems ridiculous to me is to others a huge cash cow. Think of the books, lectures, professorships, medical procedures, pharmaceuticals, clothing, restaurants, bars, and theaters — all specializing in some aspect of this problem — that appear to us to have exploded out of nowhere over the past few years.
Here’s a tip. When someone tells you that your view sounds cynical, reply by saying, “I don’t particularly care how it sounds, I care whether or not it is correct.”
So now, let’s go back to some fundamental masculine and feminine concepts that have worked in all previous generations until now.
Masculinity has to do with traits of males.
Femininity has to do with traits of females.
They were made to work together for the purpose of creating and raising healthy families.
As long as people obsess over thoughts about which one is better, or which one they really are, then its purpose is harmed, which sadly aligns with the objective of dictators and elitists who seek to destroy the family unit. This is because the family unit of a father and mother.
Families teach discipline, good manners, and thinking things through for themselves. Children with dysfunctional families or no families and no good adult role models will probably struggle more in school. Later in life they will struggle with developing and maintaining healthy relationships — especially if they have distorted ideas about masculinity and femininity. They are more likely to become involved in crime and experience poverty compared with those coming from strong loving families.
Conclusion:
There is nothing toxic or weak about masculinity or femininity. They are gifts to each other and to the entire human race.
