"When you feminize males in a society it makes them easier to control."
This was a statement made yesterday by a Sociologist I know. I think it is not only a true statement but I also think it pinpoints exactly what is happening to many males today. Males are encouraged to be ashamed of their masculinity as if there is something innately wrong about natural male masculinity. They are brainwashed into thinking that their innate aggressions are somehow wrong and sinful. That they must shun their natural aggressiveness and sense of competition. Males today are encouraged to "explore" their "softer" sides and to set aside their male interests in such things as cars, sports, fighting, etc. in favor of such things as home economics, baking cookies, etc. And, males are encouraged to reject their natural male bodies as they are encouraged to be weak and effeminate in their appearance while shaving off all body hair that makes a person distinctly MALE. In short, males today are being encouraged and brainwashed into rejecting their own selves and it is that self rejection which opens up a disastrous can of worms!
A person (male or female) bent on self rejection is a person bent on self hatred. A person bent on self hatred is a person bent on self destruction. When we think of such things as suicide or castration we often think in physical terms but one can commit suicide and become castrated not only physically but psychologically and spiritually as well. Sadly, there appears to be growing numbers of males who have already committed psychospiritual suicide and/or castration today as they have bought into being feminized and, thus, have become easily controllable. As has been written elsewhere on this site "Gods denied become demons. Creatures of the shadow. And what comes from the shadow is death and destruction." This is not simply true of "gods" but it is also true of MEN.
For along time now society has been bent on the idea that a male becomes deviant because of his own maleness and aggressiveness. He becomes confused and angry and eventually begins to strike out at society. This is all boiled down to the individual so that society as a whole might wash it's hands clean of any guilt. But, society is not washed clean of guilt. In fact, society as a whole is very guilty! Society has shunned it's responsibilities to males and it has failed miserably in teaching boys how to become masculine men of honor. Society is bent on feminizing males in a futile attempt to make males easily controllable. Male deviance is just not an individual problem but it's also a SOCIAL PROBLEM that society MUST begin to address WITHOUT feminizing the male and turn males onto the road of self rejection.
Society has chosen the route of feminizing males in an effort to make males controllable. Mistakenly, society has concluded that by feminizing males young males will still become men. We fail to realize that feminizing a male insures only that males will NOT become men but will become something inbetween and creatures never meant to be. The feminization of males has only served to make male deviance WORSE not better in my estimation.
Society has failed to look back at tradition and history and see that the WARRIOR ETHOS is the PERFECT route for many things MALE. The Warrior Ethos is a perfect pattern by which a boy can become a masculine man. A man of HONOR and a man of INTEGRITY! The Warrior Ethos is a perfect pathway by which a male can learn to control his innate aggressiveness and channel it into something PRODUCTIVE instead of destructive. The Warrior Ethos does NOT feminize a male nor does it seek to take a male along the hellish road of self rejection. Rather, it promotes masculinity, honor, and integrity. It promotes self respect and SELF CONTROL. It promotes self male PRIDE! It honors CREATION by males instead of destruction and self destruction as femininity does. The Warrior Ethos promotes and enhances NATURAL MALE MASCULINITY not only for young males but throughout the lives of mature masculine males. The Warrior Ethos is a road that never ends because it is a road of male HONOR of self and of others!
"When you feminize males in a society it makes them easier to control."
That's RIGHT because a feminized male is ALREADY DEFEATED within his own mind! Once a person or a peoples are defeated within their own minds then of course they are easily dominated and controlled. Any elementary armchair soldier knows that basic! Defeat the enemy in his own mind and soul and you have already won the major battle in the war. Feminized males are dominated by self uncertainty and ruled over by inner fear. A person ruled by fear is a person already defeated and buried. "Gods denied become demons. Creatures of the shadow. And what comes from the shadow is death and destruction."
This is not only true of "gods" but it is also true of MEN! Men who are taught to reject and deny their innate masculinity and aggression become creatures of the shadows and following close behind come only death and destruction. Destruction not only of self but destruction also of other people. There is, contrary to popular ignorance, NO GOOD that comes from feminizing a male!!
So who is doing the controlling? Who is it that wants so desperately to feminize males and bring them to the abyss of self hatred and self rejection? Who is it that desires males to hate their own natural maleness and masculinity? Who is it that wants males to live lives in shame? Who is it that does not want us to discover much less follow the pathway of the WARRIOR ETHOS? Who is it that fears that should a male ever follow that Warrior Ethos pathway that he just might begin to FIGHT BACK? After all, feminized males DON'T fight back BUT males living out the WARRIOR ETHOS in their lives DO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK because they are NOT defeated within their own minds! That scares the SHIT out of whoever it is who wants to do the controlling!! Warrior Males are not castrated nor have they committed psychospiritual suicide and.....THEY ARE NOT ABOUT TO!
Whoever or whatever is seeking the destruction of the BROTHERHOOD of MAN I shall leave to your own thoughts. There are many sociopolitical and theological possibilities regarding just who it is who is so bent on controlling males and destroying innate masculinity. The point of this post is not to identify who the destroyers are but to motivate males who still have a mustard seed of masculinity in them to STAND UP UNAFRAID and begin to FIGHT BACK! The point of this post is to get you thinking about the WARRIOR ETHOS and motivate you into not just believing in it but to motivate you to begin LIVING the Warrior Ethos in your own life! The road of the Warrior is a road of SALVATION today for MALES! The road of feminization is a road of DESTRUCTION and DEATH for males!
It is time that males STAND UP, take up the WARRIOR ETHOS (the life of HONOR not dishonor), FIGHT BACK, and be PROUD to be MEN! It's time to be proud of that MUSCULAR HAIRY male body and to begin to HONOR it instead of dishonoring it by allowing the BFD have it's way with you. It's time to let that facial and chest hair grow! To make those muscles BIGGER and more defined! To let out your natural male aggressiveness in HONORABLE and CREATIVELY self-disciplined ways instead of destructive and dishonorable ways! In short, it's time to be a MASCULINE MALE! And, most especially, it's time to:
BE A WARRIOR !!

Robert,
You are right as usual. Get a man to question his innermost being, his values, his sense of reality, the virtue and worthiness of his existence and not only is he controllable, he'll want that control because its a way to escape the emptiness he's left with. Hierarchies have used it for years as a way to get and power. But it can also exist, maybe more subtly in society as a whole. People don't like it when someone challenges or rises above the herd - it's an affront to them because it reminds them of their own compromises and failure to make the same effort, to have the same strength, courage and integrity. So they try to bring the hero, the warrior, down, regardless of the cost to themselves. They point at any flaw, any normal human mistake, saying, who do you think you are? You're no better than us, and on and on and on. And that's the hardest fight because there is no center, no one adversary to go after.
Wow!!!
Thank you Robert and Jim.

"the WARRIOR ETHOS is the PERFECT route for many things MALE"
Robert's right.
Indeed, I would say ALL things MALE --
The WARRIOR ETHOS is the PERFECT route for ALL things MALE.
Including MALE-MALE SEX.
Which is what this site and The Man2Man Alliance are about.
FROT.
What is Frot?
Frot is the Way.
Frot is the Warrior Way.
FROT IS THE WARRIOR WAY OF SEX BETWEEN MEN.
And not just the Warrior Way.
Frot is the ONLY TRUE WAY for two MEN to bond sexually.
Because only Frot cherishes, honors, and exalts their mutual manhood.
Because only Frot cherishes, honors, and exalts their mutual masculine manhood.
To repeat:
Frot is the ONLY TRUE WAY for two MEN to bond sexually.
Frot is the only true Warrior Way for two men to bond sexually.
Frot is the only true Warrior Way for two fighting men to bond sexually.
Frot is the only true Warrior Way for two fighting men to bond sexually because Frot cherishes, honors, and exalts their mutual manhood, the manhood of EACH warrior.
Frot is PHALLIC bonding.
The aggressive rubbing of phallus against phallus until, in the heat of male passion, they merge and become one.
What is the symbology of the phallus?
It's twofold.
The phallus is, as Danielou says, the sacred symbol of man's creative power.
The power to create life.
The phallus is also the sacred symbol of man's aggressive power.
The power to fight.
The power to defend life.
At its most basic that power is expressed by the fist at the end of the outstretched arm.
And it's expressed by weapons.
The club.
The spear.
The sword.
The phallus is club-like.
In Greek myth, when the great hero Theseus starts on his quests, his first act is to take a club from an evil man who's been killing people with it.
Theseus takes the club, kills the killer, and keeps and uses the club forever after.
The WARRIOR ETHOS is the PERFECT route for ALL things MALE
FROT IS THE WARRIOR WAY OF SEX BETWEEN MEN
Creation and Aggression
Theseus and his Club:
Honor and Aggression
The message is clear:
For the boy to become a man, he must learn to use his male aggressive power in ways that are responsible and honorable.
That's what Warrior Training does.
It teaches the male to use his aggressive powers responsibly and honorably.
Just as we here teach the male to use his sexual powers responsibly and honorably.
For the male, sex and aggression are interconnected and intertwined.
Are integral.
The male's sexual power is connected to his aggressive power, his aggressive power to his sexual power.
That's how it is.
It's all connected and interconnected.
These two elemental powers cannot be separated.
Nude Heroes
Nude Combat
Here's another image of Theseus wielding his club.
Greek kids -- Greek youths -- were surrounded by images of this sort.
These images were, in effect, role models.
They showed men, in all their nude, masculine, glory, behaving both aggressively and heroically.
Aggressively and honorably.
There were other models.
This is a sculptural group of Castor and Pollux.
Castor and Pollux were fraternal twins who were extremely devoted to each other.
They were cited constantly as examples of mutual MALE devotion.
They were also extremely popular.
A common oath was "By the twin gods!" -- referring to these guys, who were deified after they died -- honorably and in the heat of battle.
Then of course there were Harmodius and Aristogeiton -- our Death Before Dishonor guys.
Castor and Pollux were role models for Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
Do you understand?
Castor and Pollux were mythical.
Harmodius and Aristogeiton were real.
Castor and Pollux's *mythic* devotion empowered Harmodius and Aristogeiton's *real-life* devotion.
Just as Harmodius and Aristogeiton's real-life devotion and determination to live honorably can empower you.
Robert:
Harmodius and Aristogeiton provide a personal example for the rest of us. They are shining examples of MASCULINE MEN who love each other. Our own individual lives should be modeled after theirs I think. They had the balls to take a stand against a tyrant and we as modern WARRIORS must have the balls to do the SAME. Men can no longer afford to submit to whatever comes their way! We are engaged in a battle geared towards the destruction of masculinity. We must realize that battle and we must BEGIN TO FIGHT that battle because right now most males are not fighting that battle and males are on the losing end of that battle.
DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR !!
Adopt that as your personal motto!
Live it and Breath it!
Be a true masculine WARRIOR and grab your balls and begin to FIGHT against those elements in our modern society which are trying to destroy NATURAL MALE MASCULINITY!
Heroic Nudity
Notice that in Greek art, most of the time the guys are shown nude.
|
That's not an accident.
It's an expression of a cultural value.
This is a culture which values the male genitals.
That's why they're so often on display.
Because to the Greeks, you can't separate the man from his genitals.
Can't be done.
That's why these nude statues were seen all over the ancient world.
The statues of Harmodius and Aristogeiton were the first erected in Athens after the success of the democratic revolution.
Try to imagine that in our society.
Try to imagine that Patrick Henry and Tom Paine were lovers, that they attempted to kill the English governor of Virginia, and that their act touched off the American revolution.
And that today, nude statues of Pat and Tom are to be found in every courthouse square in America.
That's what the ancient world was like.
That's how Greek culture treated men, male aggression, and the male genitals.
It all came together in what we now call "heroic nudity."
What does our culture do?
It tries to separate the man from both his genitals and his aggression.
And as Robert keeps saying, that's really destructive.
In gay culture, of course, we do see the male genitals.
But gay culture now puts equal if not more emphasis on the anus.
In so doing, it's trying to make of gay men "hermaphrodites" -- men-women, intersexed monstrosities -- in Robert's words, "something inbetween and creatures never meant to be."
"Never meant to be" is right.
Can't be done.
Gay-identified men, like other men who have sex with men, are not women.
They're men.
That's not a joke.
It's the truth.
When you try to treat the anus like a vagina, you do tremendous harm -- physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
How do we get out of this mess?

Robert:
It is time that males STAND UP, take up the WARRIOR ETHOS (the life of HONOR not dishonor), FIGHT BACK, and be PROUD to be MEN! It's time to be proud of that MUSCULAR HAIRY male body and to begin to HONOR it instead of dishonoring it by allowing the BFD have it's way with you. It's time to let that facial and chest hair grow! To make those muscles BIGGER and more defined! To let out your natural male aggressiveness in HONORABLE and CREATIVELY self-disciplined ways instead of destructive and dishonorable ways! In short, it's time to be a MASCULINE MALE! And, most especially, it's time to:
BE A WARRIOR !!
How can you be a warrior?
One way is through training in martial arts.
When I say warrior in this context, I don't mean it as a metaphor.
I mean learning how to FIGHT.
What I'd like you guys to do is come together in Regional Chapters and, among other things, train in martial arts together.
|
That's not some pipe dream.
It's something realizable.
The means to do it are there.
What's lacking is the will to do it.
Why?
What do you have to lose?
Robert:
Sports and martial arts are not violence! They are CONTROLLED and DISCIPLINED means for a male to release his NATURAL aggressions WITHOUT slaughtering another human being! Males have always found ways to express and release their natural aggressiveness and most commonly it has been through sports and the martial arts which are activities of MALE HONOR not dishonor. Along with the CONTROLLED physical outlet that sports and martial arts provide there is also DISCIPLINED psychological SELF CONTROL. Martial arts do not only teach physical discipline but also psychological self discipline. Yet, many people don't seem to know or understand that.
Robert's right.
Role Models
Here's another picture:
This guy's a Mixed Martial Arts / UFC - style fighter at a pre-fight weigh-in.
Notice the boy on the left.
That's a powerful role model for a child.
What happens when kids don't have that sort of role model?
This is a bashing caught on surveillance tape.
These kids are using baseball bats -- clubs -- to attack a homeless man.
They killed one man and seriously hurt two others before they were caught.
No one taught these kids how to be men.
And now they'll never learn.
I'm going to come back to this picture in another post because I know that many of you do not understand the difference between aggression and this sort of violence.
And not understanding the difference could cost you your lives.
Remember what I said: Gods denied become demons. Creatures of the shadow. And what comes from the shadow is death and destruction.
In some crucial way, these kids were denied the truth about masculinity and male aggession.
And so their male aggression became a demon.
And they killed.
And now, like I say, they'll never learn the truth.
Boys or MEN
You need to start learning how to be MEN too.
Most of you aren't.
You're boys.
Analism, effeminism, feminism -- encourages men to be boys.
Boys who know nothing of aggression.
Boys who understand nothing about sex between MEN.
I've said that half of you live in buttboy land;
and the other half in straightboy land.
In both places you're a boy.
In neither are you a MAN.
This is from a recent email from a straight-identified guy:
First, let me say that I think the labels heterosexual and homosexual are misnomers, that sexuality is more than the man or woman one chooses as a mate. Sexuality, to me, just is, because humans are able to love any other human.
Your site reminded me of some experiences I've had with strangers and friends who wanted to wrestle. I appeased my friends. The stranger, however, was too odd an experience. I was moving into a new apartment, new state. A stout guy saw me and thought I looked like a wrestler he knew. After probing to assure I wasn't the wrestler, he asked if I wanted to wrestle in the front yard of the complex. I declined despite his persistence, but the incident made me wonder.
I've never been interested in men in the gay sense, which to me translates to oral, anal, and effeminacy. "Gay" repulses me, frankly. Well, sodomy and effeminacy repulse me. Sodomy, I've always believed, was anti-masculine and demeaning. Yet male to male friendship and companionship not only gets my praise, but I mourn its distorted status in the USA. I've always felt that a man needed a male buddy, whether frottage was practiced or not, to stave off the perils thrown at men to keep them from being true to themselves.
Frottage makes sense. I recall a frottage experience when I was in middle school. As my best friend and I tussled, we held each other in a bear hug and he pushed me against the wall. We felt our penises touch, kissed each other on the cheek, and like that let each other go. Silence ensued. We smiled and held each other's gaze for a few second. Our day continued with our usual antics and roughhousing of which the frottage worked as a natural part of our communion.
Bill, I think championing masculinity as you are psychologically will relieve many men of stress from fearing their homoerotic thoughts. Frottage honors masculinity. I like your site. It's informative, validating, and much needed.
"championing masculinity as you are psychologically will relieve many men of stress from fearing their homoerotic thoughts.
Frottage honors masculinity."
That's right.
FROT HONORS MASCULINITY
When are you going to honor masculinity?
When are you going to stop being an effeminized ball-less nothing and start being a WARRIOR?
When?
WARRIOR
Compromises and failures
Here's what Jim said:
People don't like it when someone challenges or rises above the herd - it's an affront to them because it reminds them of their own compromises and failure to make the same effort, to have the same strength, courage and integrity. So they try to bring the hero, the warrior, down, regardless of the cost to themselves. They point at any flaw, any normal human mistake, saying, who do you think you are? You're no better than us, and on and on and on. And that's the hardest fight because there is no center, no one adversary to go after.
"compromises and failures"
That's what most of you do.
You compromise.
You go along to get along, and in so doing you lose your "strength, courage, and integrity."
You acquiesce in your own feminization.
And so you fail.
Robert:
... a feminized male is ALREADY DEFEATED within his own mind! Once a person or a peoples are defeated within their own minds then of course they are easily dominated and controlled. Any elementary armchair soldier knows that basic! Defeat the enemy in his own mind and soul and you have already won the major battle in the war. Feminized males are dominated by self uncertainty and ruled over by inner fear. A person ruled by fear is a person already defeated and buried. "Gods denied become demons. Creatures of the shadow. And what comes from the shadow is death and destruction."
This is not only true of "gods" but it is also true of MEN! Men who are taught to reject and deny their innate masculinity and aggression become creatures of the shadows and following close behind come only death and destruction. Destruction not only of self but destruction also of other people. There is, contrary to popular ignorance, NO GOOD that comes from feminizing a male!!
Now, having acquiesced in your own feminization, you work to defeat those who might help you.
Jim:
"they try to bring the hero, the warrior, down, regardless of the cost to themselves."
Right -- that's certainly something I've seen time and again.
For example -- you don't DONATE.
Even though that's the one simplest thing you could do which would ameliorate your condition.
You won't do it.
You'd rather bring this down -- regardless of the cost to yourself.
Robert:
So who is doing the controlling? Who is it that wants so desperately to feminize males and bring them to the abyss of self hatred and self rejection? Who is it that desires males to hate their own natural maleness and masculinity? Who is it that wants males to live lives in shame? Who is it that does not want us to discover much less follow the pathway of the WARRIOR ETHOS? Who is it that fears that should a male ever follow that Warrior Ethos pathway that he just might begin to FIGHT BACK? After all, feminized males DON'T fight back BUT males living out the WARRIOR ETHOS in their lives DO STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK because they are NOT defeated within their own minds! That scares the SHIT out of whoever it is who wants to do the controlling!! Warrior Males are not castrated nor have they committed psychospiritual suicide and.....THEY ARE NOT ABOUT TO!
Whoever or whatever is seeking the destruction of the BROTHERHOOD of MAN I shall leave to your own thoughts. There are many sociopolitical and theological possibilities regarding just who it is who is so bent on controlling males and destroying innate masculinity. The point of this post is not to identify who the destroyers are but to motivate males who still have a mustard seed of masculinity in them to STAND UP UNAFRAID and begin to FIGHT BACK! The point of this post is to get you thinking about the WARRIOR ETHOS and motivate you into not just believing in it but to motivate you to begin LIVING the Warrior Ethos in your own life! The road of the Warrior is a road of SALVATION today for MALES! The road of feminization is a road of DESTRUCTION and DEATH for males!
"The road of feminization is a road of DESTRUCTION and DEATH for males!"
But there's an alternative:
The Way of the WARRIOR is the Way of SALVATION for MALES!
You can be saved:
The point of this post is ... to motivate those males who still have a mustard seed of masculinity in them to STAND UP UNAFRAID and begin to FIGHT BACK! The point of this post is to get you thinking about the WARRIOR ETHOS and motivate you into not just believing in it but to motivate you to begin LIVING the Warrior Ethos in your own life!
Right.
Living the Warrior Ethos in your own life will be your salvation.
Jim says:
"And that's the hardest fight because there is no center, no one adversary to go after."
Right.
But it's not so hard when you're a warrior.
Because when there's no one adversary, what you have to do is be ready to take on ALL your adversaries.
All "comers" as they say.
And the way you do that is through TRAINING.
WARRIOR TRAINING.
You learn to think and behave as a WARRIOR.
And you develop clarity.
Truth is, you don't have any choice.
I know you think you do but you don't.
It's fight or die.
Recently I talked with a young straight-identified guy who had a really HOT cock2cock experience with his best friend.
(He posted about it in New to this).
He wants more cock2cock -- as a matter of fact, he's DESPERATE to rub cocks again.
But he doesn't want anyone to know about it.
He doesn't want to give up his "straight privilege" -- he doesn't want the world to know he's bi.
We could say, in fact, that he's "dying" to hold on to to his straight privilege.
What a joke.
On him.
He lacks the courage of his own experience.
He knows what he had with his buddy.
But he wants it to be a secret.
That secret is going to come back and SMACK him in the face one day.
Whereas if he just told people NOW -- I'm BI:
I love women but I also love cock2cock --
It would all be over and taken care of in a moment.
Do you understand?
He's not a man.
And he's not a warrior.
He's a boy.
Of course he's young.
But there are many of you who are twice his age -- and more -- who are just as much children as he is.
Jim:
Get a man to question his innermost being, his values, his sense of reality, the virtue and worthiness of his existence and not only is he controllable, he'll want that control because its a way to escape the emptiness he's left with.
Yes -- that's right.
A man can only be controlled if he's been so demoralized by the attacks of such as the BFD, that he WANTS to be controlled.
Sure, you can control a man physically -- lock him up;
but as you all know, the history of the world is replete with men who've led revolutions from behind bars.
A man can only be controlled -- if he WANTS to be controlled.
A FREE MAN -- is indomitable.
Which leads then to an inescapable conclusion:
All of you are willing participants in your OWN OPPRESSION.
So I ask again:
When are you going to HONOR MASCULINITY?
When are you going to stop being an effeminized ball-less nothing and start being a WARRIOR?
When?
WARRIOR
