  1. This a long substak post. I good that is long a complex because this way this post will avoing the usual commenters who just jump into the talk to be a contrarian. So my friends read it all and bring deep grounded opinions. Otherwise I may invite the writer into the Forum to answer the objections. Have a good read. https://sorayachemaly.substack.com/p/26-decentering-men-is-not-misandry?r=71pq&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=ig&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRzdgRoFHVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA81NjcwNjczNDMzNTI0MjcAAafqlzvBCQBnkU2KXpOrHl14-naCDwVbLic27je-mfnktVeN3Xzxavk6nB_RXA_aem_xdnrRbB7tl1XWIRmHWpeIw&utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3_a1dennhcopqa1q&triedRedirect=true A small part to sparkle the curiosity: . No One Told Men the Floor Was Made of Women On decentering men, loneliness, men's desire for recognition, and why persistently misdiagnosing men's crises is making everything worse for everyone Soraya Chemaly Last week, German police association chief Dirk Peglow provoked a heated public debate when he announced, only partially joking, that, to be safe, women should “not get into a relationship with a man. If you do, the risk is much higher of becoming a victim of psychological or physical violence.” He is essentially saying how much sense it makes for women to avoid men as much as possible. This, if you think about it, is a way of suggesting that women…decenter men. Peglow, who was threatened for his efforts, later explained. “It was not meant as advice to be taken literally. The overwhelming majority of men are not violent and are not criminals.” Man meet bear. Bear meet man. Until relatively recently, most women could do very little to mitigate the risks posed by men, known or unknown. Today, however, women are increasingly able to distance themselves from men with more deliberation and intent, which is the officer’s suggestion. Formally or informally, women are decentering men, even if they never use that word. This is not because women actively hate men but because women have access to the education, money, birth control, some reproductive rights, and legal standing that make male centrality and approval optional rather than necessary. It turns out that for a variety of reasons, it’s easier for women to live without men than the other way round. No one, no society, prepared men for this reality or changes in women’s status and their effects on gender relations. This is true despite gender norms for women evolving continuously over a century. In fact, most parents have protected boys from this shift, opting to teach most how to be men in much the same way their fathers and grandfathers were taught. Every generation of girls, on the other hand, had to adapt to a new reality. But the real problem, the deepest cut, is that no one told men that the floor was made of women. Not the floor of the family household, managed and maintained by unpaid domestic and child care. Not the floor of the economy, held up by unpaid and low-wage care work that kept social reproduction artificially cheap and racial hierarchies in check. Not the floor of men’s emotional lives, built on women’s emotional and hermeneutic labor. Not of men’s protecting and sense of courage, made possible by women’s fear and silent, vigilant risk-bearing. Not of men’s purpose, which required women’s public and economic purposelessness to be evident by contrast. Not the floor of masculine identities, which begin with women’s reliably provided recognition. Lastly, and critically, not the floor of men’s public authority and power, which depends on violently or coercively suppressing women’s public voices, participation, and desire for authority. This operates at every level, but, as a reader pointed out, in the United States the floor is Black women, the people whose bodies have most absorbed its violence, and whose political organizing has repeatedly changed the nation but has never been rewarded (TY Barry LaFleur). Their reproductive, domestic, economic, political labor infrastructure beneath every other group's ascent, including white women's provision of care and support to white men. Additionally, to make things even worse, equality was supposed to mean women being treated like men, not men being treated like women. Today, more men are expected to do things that women have always had to (emotional work and child care); to work the way women have always had to (precariously, with flexibility, with less security and lower wages); to modify their bodies to meet market needs (“looks maxxing,” disordered eating, plastic surgery); to move through public space with heightened awareness of how they are perceived, what they can say, and whether they are safe; to manage their desirability as a condition of their worth; and to absorb institutional indifference to their suffering without complaint, subject to the whims of far more powerful elites. The difference is that men are expected to do all of this while supporting a system that is simultaneously telling them that being a man means never having to do any of it at all. Men, much of the culture still insists, are supposed to make money (see “wallet dads”), be strong, pursue status, do whatever it takes to provide, protect, and procreate. Women’s role was to do whatever needed doing to make this possible and that is no longer true. I can imagine, if I were a man, being put out by what I’m saying, by the policeman’s suggestion, by the discomfort my generalizations may provoke. But, in fact, free associating, I resent my own imagining because, frankly, so relatively few men have ever seemed genuinely willing or capable to do the same in return — imagine being a woman, on behalf of women.

  3. Long explanation for why you may felt like you felt. You are used to see all by Man Glasses. Is good to see that Men are not the center of everything. Decentering Man. - Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events - Actualized.org Forum https://share.google/tjOC5hqULMJ0hRgkL
  4. One perspective for why normalmaly men have a bias in this topics. Again is related with Internalized patriarchy. Guys simply cant take out the patriarchal glasses. https://www.instagram.com/p/DX7Vzubj5Bs/?img_index=12&igsh=c2VkeHdkMTFrZm1u
  5. Is important to notice that when you do change work in private it is different than field work. Here https://www.instagram.com/p/DXpc_WblIF6/?img_index=11&igsh=OGR6enA4enZpZHZv Is when you are in the moment that the test comes. Is good to study. But what is the point to study and study and in the moment the test comes you fail?
  6. This is cool, the Alien looks like Leo.
  7. Lets hve empathy for Russel brand now. I can see that this Forum have a difficult time to actually call corruption by its name. No need to trying to justify the unjustifiable. Let the Infinite Mercy for God. Here on earth there is a need for restitution, healing and justice.
  8. I am not looking for approval of Leo at all. I even would love to be more frontal but here in the Forum I would probably be called out, banned or his bootlicker minions would jump in protection.
  9. Give me back this Salvia divinorum Actualized Quotes #563 https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-563
  10. This sound like a confession 😂
  11. What about the perspective of men using woman to extract femenine (Yin) energy to compensate their lack of it. We all heard of the concept of two Wholes meeting and when they meet is a different dynamic than when two people in lack meet. In case of men. We need to reflect where we are coming from when we go for woman. The extraction energy csn be very explicit or sometimes subtle, but if it is there you may be surprised why some woman just stop answering your DMs or getting you out of their lifes. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXuPCM_lP71/?img_index=1&igsh=NjBmbWNhNjc4MWhu
  12. Patriarchy became a Survival Strategy that end up having a lot of sucess. The question is: For Whom? Everytime we see a system is important to question: Who is being served by this? And also not Absolutize the issue that is all God so no matter what happens the whole will always be served. In the relative realm there is agency and choices and people, history being woven by daily choices, even the small choices.
  13. This post below on Instagram is about the ridiculousness of debates about Genocide. I think the text apply to this topic of Pedophiles as well. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXrta8_ltMt/?igsh=MTE2MzV2ZDZ6d3Q5Zw== Just in case is hard for ya to do the reframing I did it for you: Here is the reframed text for each slide: WHY WE DON'T DEBATE PEDOPHILES Slide 2 There is a violence in the way child abuse gets dressed up as conversation. A violence in the calm tone, the studio lights, the respectful exchange granted to those who harm the most vulnerable. Slide 3 As if a child's trauma can be reduced to turns of speech. As if the destruction of innocence can be weighed against rhetoric. As if those fighting to protect children must sit across from those who justify their violation and call it dialogue. Slide 4 This is how normalization breathes. Through familiarity. Through repetition. Through the quiet suggestion that every position deserves a seat, every ideology a hearing, every crime a counterpoint. Slide 5 And suddenly, what should stand isolated in disgrace is invited back into the room — cleaned, framed, humanized. A pedophile does not need to win the debate. He only needs to belong in it. Slide 6 Because the moment child abuse is treated as a perspective, it is no longer confronted as a crime. It becomes something you respond to, not something you dismantle. Something you engage with, not something you end. Slide 7 While one side refines arguments, the other carries wounds that never heal. Slide 8 Children were not broken, silenced and scarred for their reality to be reduced to a talking point. They did not endure abuse so that their suffering could be moderated, timed and scored for clarity. There is nothing neutral about granting a predator the dignity of debate. Slide 9 Truth does not need to share a stage with predation to prove itself. Justice does not require balance with abuse to be seen as legitimate. Slide 10 There are places where confrontation belongs — where evidence is laid bare, where crimes are named, where power is held to account. A courtroom. A tribunal. A reckoning. But a stage built for "both sides"? That is not confrontation. That is normalization.
  14. Watched the whole video and still processing all the info. This guy have good things to say that helped me to connect some dots. This video here is also promising.
  15. Oh, when Women understand the ways men sypon energy from them. Unhealed men will do and woman unaware of the process will fall again and again, till they wake up https://www.instagram.com/p/DXrluTxlFiI/?img_index=19&igsh=NnBjNTE5a3VtYzZ2
  16. Will be really fun to listen objections for this video.
  17. Many things to integrate about this video. Related to The Discussion on Patriarchy and Matriarchy (Matrilinear Societies) and the fact that women can be warriors as well. Overwall a lot for balance the opinions Leo Gura gave in his takes on Feminism.

  19. All slides but maily the slide 17. https://www.instagram.com/p/DXou7S5iIA_/?img_index=16&igsh=ZWs1aXJ2ZXZjM3Mz
  20. Same requirement from now on. Ok? Boundaries goes both ways. Accountability is a masculine trait you said.
  21. Who created OF plataform? Woman? Men? Opportunity and Opportunism goes had to hand. You may not create slavery but you can create boats to transport Slaves.
  22. Agree to disagree. Well there is a bias here. Blaming feminism is sloopy. We can at least agree on the obvious.
  23. Or maybe woman in general had become more aware of what they want and need and the bar has raised to not comply with men being entitled for their bodies. Also this: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXrMptvDkQV/?igsh=MTlzZHBxaWltM2Qybg== Reading the comments of many men here and online and observing men in my daily live I realize why woman need to be picky. They also have a lot to lose for not being selective, they can lose their lifes ir even become traped in a golden cage unless they use dicerment. Dont use woman raising the bar to excuse your lack of development in game e being a man of value. I say this not directly to you but for men in generalz including me.
