THE MASCULINE ENERGY MAN AND HIS WOUNDED FEMININE

PICTURE THIS: A raging phallus, chaotic rigidity.

CAUSES

The wounded feminine in a masculine energy man is usually as a result of:

Lack of maternal or feminine presence growing up, either physical or emotional.

Enslavement to gender expectations that men must be physically strong, assertive, unemotional providers to prove their valour.

The mentality that dying with honor demands competition, blind obedience to absolute authority (display courage on the war front and die, if possible, as opposed to shrinking in fear.)

HOW IT MANIFESTS

The repression and wounding to the feminine traits of sensitivity, creativity, spiritually leave these traits at a primitive and unevolved condition, thus adding layers of toxicity to what would otherwise be healthy masculine expression.

This will often result in the fear or distrust of intimacy, coldness, emotional distance, withdrawal from love, repression of pain.

The disconnection from the feminine results in a fear that feeds on the thoughts of scarcity. A scarcity mindset leads to too much emphasis on dominance, with little or no room for collaboration.

Thus, assertiveness becomes aggression, structure becomes rigidity. stoicism becomes lack of empathy. Inability to balance judgement with sensitivity results in a critical nature.

IMPACT

A psychology of dominance makes him view others with lower physical strengths (women or relatively less strong men) as objects of his aggression (sexual or physical).

The need to keep a façade of invincibility is fueled by heavy drinking and drugs, and results in unreceptiveness to help, or inability to share struggles or mental health problems.

This perpetuates unprovoked violence to release inner tension, bullying, mass murders. Thus, fostering the cycle of incarceration, absent fathers and in some cases, suicides.
