Gender Roles
as a woman that aren’t necessarily going to make you feel
good as a man. Lots of women like watching soap operas
or going on shopping sprees, but there’s a good chance you
don’t enjoy doing the same things, and there’s no reason you
have to. The truth is that pretending to like all the same
things that women do is a weak and manipulative way of
trying to get into a woman’s heart.
Instead, you have to embrace your manhood, embrace
the new definition of the male gender role, and refuse to
budge on it even when tested. And believe me, a woman
will constantly be testing you to see if you’re truly able to
play the role well. If you pass the test, she’ll feel safer
being a woman. But if you fail it, you’ll find yourself in the
downward spiral of gender role reversal.
Here’s how you know you’re being tested: The woman will
begin to take control of things, to coordinate activities and
lead the relationship, and will slowly take over all the duties
that would normally be yours. Why will she do this? Because
she needs to know that you will play the male gender
role even if she tries to do it. If both of you try to think
logically and lead, your relationship will fail. Likewise, the
relationship will also be unsuccessful if both partners try to
fill the typical female role of empathizer.
If you do not pass the test, she will continue to play the
male gender role and eventually you will naturally start to
play the female gender role. You will surrender all the good
power that makes you feel like a man.
