The deification of maleness and masculinity has consequences more far-reaching that we can even imagine. We desecrate the very image of God when we limit its expansiveness in this way, and God is weeping as a result. - Andrea Roske-Metcalfe
Male, 53, Canada NW, androphile. Interested in paganism and tribalism. Here I explore my questions about men, masculinity and being a man. I am an androphile who is a feminist. Pornography is an horrific addiction and I am in recovery from it. What would a de-pornified, healthy, androphilic sexualitity look like?
Erika Christakis asks: Why don’t we talk about the glaring reality that acts of mass murder are overwhelmingly perpetrated by men?

Maleness and femaleness are creational, not contractual. They are divinely instituted rather than socially defined.
THE CATEGORY IS ... SERVING SUPER-FINE MALENESS. Gentlemen, start our engines... Mercy is definitely the word we're thinking of, sirs.
Whether he will admit it or not every man wants his own space. A man cave is an oasis of maleness where a man can…
The Miagender Spectrum or Miaspec is an umbrella term for anyone on the "male" viabinary-to-binary spectrum. This includes anyone whose gender is male/wergender, partly male (but not partly fiaspec), male-aligned or adjacent, boyflux, or is similar to or in some way resembles maleness. It is similar to, but not necessarily the same as mingender. Mingender includes genders that are related to masculinity, but are not necessarily related to maleness
Exploring Mars Symbolism, and the Mars symbol: Also known as the sign for "maleness" the Mars symbol represents a strong male principal. Mars often referred to as the "fiery planet." It's also popularly known as a planet of war, and we see this in connection with Mars the Roman god (Ares in Greek myth) of war.
Nymboy or Abinboy refers to an abinary boy, a person who identifies as a boy but in a way removed entirely from the gender binary. It is a type of boyhood that lacks ties to the gender-binary, including a relationship to binary boyhood, manhood, maleness, cisness, male-alignment, binary masculinity, and most other widespread connotations of boyhood. Nymboys may even see their boyhood as anonbinary or something else entirely. It is a boyhood that is not gendervir in any way.
I still think The Sopranos is the best exploration of male psychology I've ever seen. The performativity of 'maleness' in that culture is dialled up to 11, sure, but I've since seen these kinds of situations develop in myself and other men who externalise their shit in weird ways. Not being emotionally truthful, etc. Telling each other what we want to hear or what's expected of us even if we aren't really feeling it or are going through serious issues. It eats people up inside when they judge 'being a man' as being tied to this shit.
