The Masculinity Manifesto
How a Man Establishes Influence, Credibility and Authority
Ryan Michler
- Men
- are
- not
- the
- enemy,
- and
- masculinity,
- contrary
- to
- what
- much
- of
- popular
- culture
- would
- have
- you
- believe,
- is
- the
- solution
- to
- what
- plagues
- individuals,
- families,
- and
- society
- as
- a
- whole.Men
- have
- a
- moral
- obligation
- to
- lead
- themselves
- and
- others
- well.
- Unfortunately,
- much
- of
- society
- has
- bought
- into
- and
- perpetuated
- the
- misguided
- idea
- that
- men
- have
- become
- the
- enemy
- of
- all
- that
- is
- right
- and
- good
- in
- a
- virtuous
- and
- thriving
- society.
- In
- short,
- even
- the
- concept
- of
- a
- Patriarch
- (which
- is
- simply
- the
- male
- leader
- of
- a
- home,
- organization,
- or
- community)
- has
- become
- taboo,
- and
- masculinity
- itself
- has
- been
- written
- off
- as
- a
- toxic
- and
- destructive
- force.In
- The
- Masculinity
- Manifesto,
- author
- and
- podcaster
- Ryan
- Michler
- focuses
- on
- how
- a
- man
- can
- wield
- his
- power
- and
- lead
- others
- well
- with
- influence,
- credibility,
- and
- authority.
- Ryan
- refuses
- to
- accept
- the
- gradual
- and
- intentional
- decay
- of
- masculinity,
- instead
- he
- chooses
- to
- tackle
- the
- questions
- others
- are
- afraid
- to
- address.
- The
- Masculinity
- Manifesto
- empowers
- men
- to
- find
- true
- purpose
- and
- fulfillment
- by
- taking
- responsibility
- for
- their
- lives
- and
- serving
- others.A
- man
- who
- exercises
- his
- responsibility
- to
- lead
- himself
- and
- others
- well
- is
- not
- to
- be
- feared,
- undermined,
- or
- rejected
- but
- embraced,
- respected,
- and
- honored.
- Men,
- after
- all,
- aren’t
- the
- enemy,
- and
- masculinity,
- contrary
- to
- what
- much
- of
- what
- popular
- culture
- would
- have
- you
- believe,
- is
- the
- solution
- to
- what
- plagues
- individuals,
- families,
- and
- society
- as
- a whole.
