Stage 5 day 3
today I had a n argument at dinner with parents about feminism and how I think men are becoming basically supressed from their masculinity, I guess it was more of a rant. it turned kinda nasty as always and I started getting pretty angry. I hate it how my dad who's meant to be the masculine role in my family tells me how women are utterly courageous and are stronger than men implying men are weak and have to use their physical Strength to win in a conflict.
this confuses me because I'm like who do I look to to give me an idea of what a man's meant to be like. I've read books on alpha males etc. and I guess I know what a real man is but it's so confusing when I live under a man who acts more like a coward to be brutally honest.
my dad grew up in a strict family with an overbearing controlling mother who is still like that to this dad, my dad's dad was a total walkover who couldn't stand up to his wife when she trampled on him. it disgusts me to know I have come from this line of doormats, I feel awful discribing it that way but that's my honest opinion of it.
I get called misogynist in my family by my sister and mum because i say that generally men take the lead in relationships and women tend to respect and prefer that instead of the other way round. they just say i have a distorted perception of relationships...sigh.
I guess I'm still not being able to put my points across clearly and without anger, just feels like where I live is full of beta males and selfish entitled women...
but yeh in conclusion I'm irritable and angry
next time I do AM I hope I live on my own lol
rant over.
