Hello, Haven’t been on here in a long while. Loved the topic and I agree with a lot of what you and KJ spoke of when it comes to Men being rejected. It’s both biblical and just a “Natural Way of Order” when it comes to a Man in regards to a relationship.
Outside of that, however, Rejection is more internalized to our Manhood and in the spiritual-religious sense: We are the Protectors and Providers to our families and being denied hits hard, where it’s like something IS wrong with Us….. Some Rejection is Ok, but it definitely depends on the context of where it comes from and the degree. The way Society puts Men in the #1 spot in almost everything comes to and from Us, the Burden is real, the Expectations are High, and it’s automatic. The is no real room for error or deep introspection unless you are a Child- but even then the old tropes of Boys/Men don’t Cry, Don’t show Weakness, etc. is still taught.
The way Males are today is as wild as the color spectrum, with Old Guards trying to perceive Masculinity to the Previous Generations and Modern-New Age Men, even in their 30s and 40s are seeking to change the way we’ve been identified. Sites like The Good Men Project try to break the barriers and bubbles that kept Men in the “box” and never being expanded like how Women are more than their looks, sexuality and gender roles. men don’t always get that, even in the midst of Patriarchal standards
