Entering a New Age
With the new year I’m going to begin a new series which is about what I’m calling the Masculinism Movement. (Hear the echoes of the words Feminism Movement.) The Women’s Liberation Movement in the 1960s opened with women coming together in groups to evaluate their positions and their way forward. Now that we are entering a period where we look toward full empowerment of women, it’s time for men to come together in groups to assess the male culture and to own how they have been. The recent cresting of sexual harassment allegations are instructive but are only one facet of problems in the male culture. The proposed Masculinism Movement is not a movement to empower men. It is a movement in which men assess themselves and assess what has been holding them back in general and especially in regard to women.
As women are empowered, we have the opportunity for them to fulfill their full potential. And now men need to face themselves and find a way to fulfill their full potential. Yes, the male culture and the attitudes of men are often holding them back from fulfilling their potential and the potential of all of us. And we now have the opportunity to seize that most fruitful partnership we can have with women and the bounty it can yield for all of us.
For now, through the holidays, I’m going to suspend posting. People get busy with family and holiday preparations and celebration. I’ll be back at the beginning of January with continuing series and the new series especially for and about men.
