Masculinity: Do Some Men's Childhoods Set Them Up To Reject Their Masculinity?

It is often said that more men need to get in touch how they feel and to feel comfortable enough to express what is taking place within them. Said another way, they need to embrace their feminine side.

However, while this is what is often said, it doesn't mean that this is the only challenge that some men have. What is also an issue is that a lot of men are out of touch with their masculine side.

One Extreme to the Other

With this in mind, it might be more accurate to say that a lot of men need to feel comfortable enough to stand their ground and to take action, among other things. If men were, in general, too 'hard' in the past; they are now, in general, too 'soft'.

But if a man doesn't come across in this way, it could mean that he will feel the need to throw his weight away. This is then a way for him to compensate for how weak he feels on the inside.

A Number of Factors

There are clearly a number of things to consider when it comes to how so many men behave in the western world. For one thing, so many men grew up without a father, or had a father who was emotionally unavailable.

The lack of male guidance doesn't end there, though, as during a man's time in the education system, he may have mainly had female teachers. There is also the effect that the media has.

A Negative View

Here, men are often portrayed as being 'bad' and as the gender that needs to be dealt with in order to make the world a better place. The identity politics of the left, for instance, is all about bashing men and most of the media is left leaning.

But even if a man doesn't pay attention to his source of information, it doesn't mean that he will miss out on all this propaganda. This is because the entertainment industry is also permeated by the same ideology.
