The inferior man…

The author’s premise seems to focus on a man’s desire to pursue his mission in life (which is great), however spends a great deal of time with almost dogmatic obsession with the mythological idea of divine energies and how a man should effectively “sacrifice himself”, “give his gifts”, and essentially put up with the shit a woman will put him through to prove his masculinity. This combined with the insistence that a women’s resistance to sexual advances is meant to be pressed is incredibly risky in an age where simply being male is enough to get one accused of sexual assault.

The ideas promoted here are dated appearing to rebirth the male chivalry of medieval times with the feminine liberated solely to impede a man’s efforts simply for their own entertainment. The assumption that women do this to test a man’s capacity to remain focused assumes far too much about today’s female culture. The suggestion that a man should participate in such utter nonsense only serves to perpetuate the needless cycle of frustration and lack of accountability either sex has.

While the concept of sexual polarity is plausible, and increased polarity results in increased tension and sexual passion, this cannot be viewed in microcosm of the relationship as a whole. The advances in technology, medicine and relaxation from tradition and religion have allowed men and women the freedom to explore relationship roles alternative to the culturally prescribed roles that once were mandated to survive. Rather than desiring polarity, it is entirely possible (and more stable) for a couple to be more-balanced in their activities without sacrificing their gender identity. In this sense, the couple’s love grows from a continuing pattern of mutual exchange of efforts towards mutual benefits or goals.
