Episode: Should I Give My Husband an Ultimatum?
The book was cited as an example of a warrior tribe that embraced both aggression and affection. It was a lightbulb moment for the speaker, realizing that true masculinity is both.
One of my favorite stories in a book I've ever read is in Terry Real's book he went and talked to a warrior tribe one that was untouched by modern thinking on masculine and femininity and he noticed two things one these was a warring tribe that had no problem just slaughtering their neighbors and they were really really affectionate with their sons big time, like holding their teenage son's hands and being very affectionate in ways that we don't do in the western world and as they were talking about it he was asking this leader of this tribe what is masculinity? Is it this or is it this? and he said that the guy paused and says it's both and being a true man is knowing which one in which situation and I remember that was a light bulb for me oh it's both, it's both it is being able to take care of the people that you love if something was to, if it all goes down you gotta know how to take care of yourself and more often than not you gotta know how to be present at your dinner table so your family feels safe so they can laugh you can be the first to laugh and I think we get it backwards and I think as dads we don't know how to teach our sons how to feel so we just say suck it up we don't know how to teach our sons how to experience pain and be uncomfortable and then go finish the job and so we either holler at them for feeling or we take the job and we'll do it, we'll do it nope that rock when you were mowing it kicked up in a hitch and it hurt real bad we gotta finish this yard because we started the project and we committed to getting it done I'll help you for a little bit and then you're gonna be back on your own I believe in you right it's both in it's both in and that's the path forward for men so that's where that post came from and it was probably based off something I did where I screwed it up on one way or the other I told my son like suck it up or I told my son like it's alright I'll just finish it and I was like no true masculinity is both, it's both in it's right up the middle there love you guys, stay in school get off social media bye
