I can elaborate on this further, although it may not be appropriate for this sort of the thread, so I'm gonna try to keep it as short as possible.This shit is insane. Are you actually saying that the normal male experience is to be incomplete, overcome by need for a host to parasite upon. I mean it would make a LOT of moid shit fall neatly into place but how the fuck can you even live with yourselves in this crippled and pathetic state.
Is this why moids can't parent, you are not actually complete enough to give of yourself to someone who is that dependent upon you. Your jug is broken and that's why you can't pour.
The reality is that patriarchy, in a Foucauldian "Regime of Truth" kind of sense (knowledge and truth produced by power structures, not achieved through empiricism and rationality), for as much power that it brings to men, it also dehumanizes them. This dehumanization process creates a perpetual sense of longing for validation, desire to prove oneself, which makes them much easier to control and allows society to use them as tools to maintain pre-existing power structures. It creates a population pool of dependable army conscripts, that are happily willing to die as meat shields, just to prove how manly they are, to prove that their existence matters. Just take a look at this Russian army recruitment ad.
Of course, as others within this thread have rightfully pointed out, resisting and calling out this toxic mentality is a choice. But it is a choice with consequences. In the west (although it has gotten much better), if a man tries to call out toxic masculinity, he gets labelled a simp, a cuck, feminine and several other adjectives that denotes them as weak. Although it's still not nearly as bad compared to places with much more deeply imbedded patriarchal culture like Russia, where being a political activist opposed to such toxic regime of truth on masculinity can straight up get you arrested, beaten and tortured by cops, before you're sent to prison where you get further beaten and tortured by your inmates for being seen as a weak man.
This is all barely touching the surface still. If you want to see the patriarchy at it's worst, a manipulative cult of self-abasement and death, learn about boot camps and how new recruits are trained there, or how gangs and mafias recruit their henchmen. All the pretext of good masculine virtue like being the provider or force of stability is almost completely abandoned. You're definitely not taught how to parent or empathize there. If it all seems completely insane to you, that's fine, that only means you are normal... well kind off, you're still browsing kiwifarms, we all are just a little spastic from that alone. I may not agree with some of the things said within this thread, but I'd be lying if I said I don't feel at least a little scared with the sort of extreme masculinity that's becoming prevalent online among young men, as if we're getting groomed for the next great war. Some of you are gonna dance in jubilation from learning that fact, but others among your group do have the power to push the needle in changing society for the better. Afterall, there is a "crisis in masculinity", there is never before seen doubt in old power structures, so maybe a needle could be pushed just enough to prevent some great disaster from occurring.
