Social Issues

Pages under planning prior to construction

This page is to be dedicated to Social Issues faced by men.

We specifically aim to detail both requirements and difficulties men face socially. During this discussion, we aim to expound on the massive gender based differences and how we believe these differences can be adjusted.

Our intent is not to take away from Female problems or to downgrade, detract from or downplay those issues faced by women. We shouldn’t need to clarify this but just talking of Men’s issues immediately and automatically seems to enrage Feminist groups.

The complexities around these issues are substantial. The answers won’t be immediate but we need a path to rectify these problems. Most can be remedied with simple attitude shifts. Others will require funding equal funding to the same issues as faced by women

In some cases, women have achieved much better results than men on the same issues. We need to examine where our best results can be generated by working with women’s groups to learn from their successes.

We need to reduce disparity by doubling down and bearing the same allegiance to our brothers as we do for our sisters, mothers and daughters. We need to challenge our traditional attitudes to compete against other males and to put more in to protect the women in our lives.

I get we’re all pretty tapped out and struggle with busier lives but we need to find how to reduce, control or assist with these problems.

Hand up before a Handout

The primary philosophy men need applied today is to offer a “Hand up before a Handout”. That’a a strong tilt on the standard phrase usually passed around with reason. Men don’t like to be given charity, both by nature and nurture. The new philosophy borrows from personal truths universal to most men.

Men’s genealogical background has rewarded individualism as well explained by Jordan Peterson’s Rule #1 on Lobsters. Compounding “Lobster law” is the teachings, world wide, across every culture I’ve looked at to teach men to look for and achieve their own paths, for men to achieve financial, social, performance based independance. Even the Quran teaches that “Each man should make his own way in the world”.

Why men need the different “Hand up before a Handout” philosophy, is because most men want to make it on their own. In most cases I’ve experienced, when men have compounding issues override or destroy their self worth, they crash harder. Men crash harder because of Cognitive Dissonance. When a man’s internal belief structure that he should be able to achieve is contradicted by his feelings, ideasbeliefs, and values, that things either in or around the environment won’t allow him to, his reactions will very often appear or become self destructive.

Why will men become more anti-social, withdrawn, aggressive or likely to commit crimes and use drugs? This is a combination of factors usually borne of the Fight or Flight instinct which becomes exceedingly heightened during psychological stress of conflicting beliefs.

Combining the internal dialogue demanding men achieve for themselves together with the reactions caused, men will most likely be benefited more from assistance to find their own paths rather than having their physical needs and wants handed to them. Generally, if men don’t feel as though they’ve hunted and caught their own outcomes, they’re less likely to find a long term satisfactory outcome.

Men will rarely ever by satisfied by someone else handing them what they need or want. That’s not to say they won’t accept it but it’ll only ever be a short term fix.

  • If a man can’t manage money, giving money will only ever be a Band-Aid. Teaching fiscal responsibility is far more likely to get his independence juices flowing again
  • If a man can’t find employment, giving money will only ever be a Band-Aid. Helping them find a passion they can earn from is far more likely to get his independence juices flowing again
  • If a man can’t maintain his possessions or property, especially if he isn’t succeeding financially, doing these things for him, again, you guessed it, is a Band-Aid. Teaching him how to solve these things for himself and to share skill sets with other like-minded men will build the all important confidence through competence

Men will very rarely be satisfied with handouts. They’re more likely to cause reduced confidence due to amplification of the feelings of inadequacy.
