Approaches to Forging a Masculine Identity
Jack Donovan, in his seminal book (heh), The Way of Men, claims that “Strength, Courage, Mastery, and Honor are the alpha virtues of men all over the world.”
I agree, and so do many men I’ve come to respect and admire. Hard to argue against it. Impossible actually.
As he explains:
“Strength requires an opposing force, Courage requires risk, Mastery requires hard work, Honor requires accountability to other men. Without these things, we are little more than boys playing at being men….”
Boys playing at being men. That is god damned hard to stomach.
The purpose of this space is to explore and present a variety of approaches and arena’s for training and demonstrating the masculine virtues of Strength, Courage, Mastery and Honor, as well as some related ideas.
When I look at this shitty, foolish world, I want to vomit. It’s an embarrassment to be human and I blame men for allowing this to happen.
As men, I believe we’ve lost our way, we’ve lost our inspiration, and we’ve lost our balls.
We’ve been feminized, softened and emasculated. I say this will not do.
It’s time to move in another direction.
I’m looking for some men who want to reclaim their masculine heritage, our birthright, by throwing down and stepping up. (And I do not fuck around) Let’s get back on track men.
Spread this word.
Let’s smash this shit.
