...lifting The 'Male' Veil
>>Hi
Mr. X
...So kind
of you to take the time to write to me. Yes, talking about this subject is
beginning to feel like the ultimate ‘taboo’ - almost a dirty secret.
It’s
becoming a crazy passion right now, flying the 'Blue Flag' for men, and
investigating these issues. It’s also helping me to find like-minded souls such
as yourself, which would never have been possible :) Have an awesome day!
>>HELLO
JOY
My sincere
apologies for delay in my response. Your mission is both exciting and
intriguing at the same time ….let me know if I could be of some help? Look
forward …Have a great day
THE SECRET WORLD OF MEN
Investigating
the secret world of men has been like lifting off the male veil, a hidden,
almost forbidden world.
To say it’s been a mind-blowing, shocking, and enlightening experience is an understatement.
Either (a)
I’ve spent too much time in front of my computer or (b) I’ve led a very
sheltered life or (c) both!
EVERYBODY HATING EVERYBODY VIDEOs
Men hating
women youtube videos …women hating men videos …and everybody hating everybody
videos! Has the world gone crazy, or is there an historical:
underlying
fear and ‘suspicion’ of the opposite sex which no one dares to talk about?
If you’re
feeling extra brave and really want to ‘Man-Up’ and put hairs on your chest,
then delve into the reddit and quora forums, and the youtube world of ‘Men
Going Their Own Way’ with (can you believe it) their own tag : MGTOW
...be my
guest. You have been warned!
(please let me know of any other sites
good/bad you come across …I am compiling a hit list)
AFTER A STRONG GLASS OF WINE
On a positive
note, after a strong glass of wine the world developed a soft haze. I
then found some great Personal Development sites that bought my blood pressure
back to normal. Cue the Rocky Balboa anthemic soundtrack.
Men running websites, programs, workshops & retreats – exclusively for men?
I can hear
the extreme man-hating, feminists rumbling & grumbling, choking on their
skinny lattes (stay calm ladies). I can also hear the extreme, homophobic,
macho men stopping their bar brawls & spitting blood.
Although
this felt weird at first, it struck me …why not? Women have a group for this, a
group for that and they’re run by women – for women. So why can’t men form
Personal Development groups that strengthen them in a
positive way?
JOY’s
SERIOUS SIDE
On a more
serious note men are literally “dying” for a conversation, not about football,
or the latest gadget or about some badass TV show (or what’s going on
downstairs). The male suicide figure globally is 3-4 times higher than that of
women. Why? Isn't this something we should all be concerned about? And I see
you ...even I chuckled that perhaps it's women making men go stir-crazy.
CALL TO
ACTION : WOMEN
This message
and the issues I'm raising are not just men’s problems. Men and women co-exist
in the same universe. Damn it, they even get married! So whether we like it or
not, we are part of the problem (a) in the way that we choose to raise our
boys. And we are part of the solution (b) in the way that we choose to
help (or ignore) our men who want to do the 'emotional thing' differently to
their male ancestors.
I NEED TO
ASK YOU A FAVOUR …
I need to
ask you a favour (men and women). In order to develop an online course that you
actually want, and
one that addresses the problems you face, please spare 3mins to respond to my
quick survey: (…so that I can optimise and share my coaching and therapy
knowledge & wisdom )
1) What can
I help you to do? ...in a better way than you have ever done before.
2) What can
I help you to be? ...in a better way than you have ever been before.
3) What can
I help you to create? ...in a better way than you have ever created before.
Just
send your answer in the following format:
1)...x. :
2)...y : 3) ...z
No major
typing needed. One word answers are great (...unless you want to say more)
thank you!
Joy
