Men fall back on “you deserve more/ you’re better than me” when they’re confronted by transformation and by a dynamic person who is prompting them to confronting their humanity but are too cowardly to traverse that And it’s acceptable to say something as empty as that because 1. It enforces the role of Woman as Divine - stripping us of our humanity by elevating our status to Unattainable by virtue 2. It removes any accountability frm the man’s part, it effectively shifts the “blame” onto the woman, that the enigmatic deficiency is in the woman’s possession alone 3. Reinforces masculine deficiency. They can continue navigating relationships and friendships and interactions shallowly and incidentally. The entire life cycle of patriarchal masculine identity is engineered to keep men spiritually and emotionally paralyzed and mutilated, but it is packaged as strength or liberation. The irony is there is such a deep fear of castration and that manifests as panic and fleeing when they encounter dynamism and transformation and love etc - but the real castration lies in these deeply lacking and static relationships and bonds that are formed instead . That’s funny to me
