MOISTURIZED MASCULINITY- VAGARIES OF FEMINISM

Young Succeeding women now fear that men feel so intimidated by the fact that they are far wealthier than their men will ever be - denying this would be like trying to fake an erection, just don't try. Its easier to fake an orgasm.

I am CIRO, I am a breadwinner, I protect and provide. This is what men do. That is who we are, and if we forget it, if the instinct to protect and provide for our loved ones is never diluted or weakened, then we are ultimately pointless, and no better than eunuchs.

In her book The Female Eunuch. Germaine Greer opined that "Feminism was never about reversing traditional rolls". In my view, feminism was not even about equality. It was about liberation - women being free to be themselves, and to fulfill their potential without restrictions placed on them by society or some man, and to follow their true nature and calling.

In this equal shared world, some people, mainly women think men are not doing well. Hanna Rosin even had the "balls" to write a book titled "The End Of Men". In which she urges that the Y Chromosome is "so last century", (lets put the blame on 'I am Cait'), suggesting that "The gap between overachieving women and underachieving men is widening, and men are becoming "dysfunctional and angry"

"I am CIRO, I am a breadwinner, I protect and provide. This is what men do. That is who we are, and if we forget it, if the instinct to protect and provide for our loved ones is never diluted or weakened, then we are ultimately pointless, and no better than eunuchs."

For all its horrors, the Second World War simplified mans role in life; but after that, his place in the world became less certain. The young men of the Fifties, unable to match the previous generations heroics, became angry and rebellious. Those were men that were raised to build empires and win battles And came to the Sixties, which brought sexual freedom groovy parties, promiscuity - and uncertainly. Divorce was the latest trend. Men could no longer rely on their wives sticking around if they weren't up to the scratch.

The place of the man before the War

Does Feminism extend to role reversal? Would it be right to expose our women to danger? Like being the one to go downstairs and confront the burglars while her wimpy man cowers under the duvet, wetting his jim- jam in terror. There is no law that says a high flying web-logger can't be the the breadwinner while her man stays at home tending to their cats and dogs.

Stay with a woman for long enough, and they will see you riding high, or even down and out. They'll see you when you're the golden boy and they'll love you when you're yesterdays man ( lol, shots fired). If she loves you enough then, at your lowest point, she'll help you, encourage and give you any kind of support, including money. Aint we just grateful to have them around?
But ultimately that changes nothing, its still our world. Does it rock a boat if the woman earns more? NO! it just drives the boat into a Titanic sized iceberg. Why, because the man feels as if some deep part of him is empty.

Girls are now outperforming boys at schools, universities and increasingly in the job market. Women now outnumber men in the American workforce. "The post-industrial economy increasingly being dominated by millennials is indifferent, gender neutral cares less about a man's size or strength. The attributes that are most valuable in today's 'Internet of Things' age - Social intelligence, open communication, the ability to sit and 'canibalise' old models like Amazon, Uber and AirBnB has done, at a minimum is not predominantly male. In fact, the opposite may be true, and the most damning place of all, we men  are "reasonably unable to adapt" or as they say in Russia we are becoming "balls and chains".

"If she loves you enough then, at your lowest point, she'll help you, encourage and give you any kind of support, including money"

You work for those you love. You do your best, and sometimes you fail miserably, but everyday you MUST go out there, loose your pride, get your hands dirty and earn a living because there are people at home depending on you. You do it for yourself. Because deep down in his DNA, every man is a breadwinner, and bravery is a critical factor in breadwinning. According to Matthew Parris "It's not being brave that makes you do brave things. It is doing brave things that makes you brave."

We must strive to get the balance right between emotional and academic intelligence and show exactly the right degree of ambition, knowing that defiance and endurance with a little push for the extra is what makes a champion. Our ladies should give us a little credit, for we have accepted the new normal - The rise of the female breadwinners.
