| Post subject: | Male Initiation, Rant Casey Style |
i found this article about one of my favorite books, i wonder if all this thing about male initiation is true, that becasue of the lack of a strong male figure in our childhood when things go wrong we run to our mother arms, in adulthood we run to any female arms(looking for aproval needingness etcl) that we all hate rules and why is that i have some feeling of destruction? http://mensstudies.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/rant-casey/ ps: i have a horrible hanghover

I firmly believe that every man alive should join their perspective military for at least 2 years. I was in for 10, and the US Army became my surrogate father. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the Army, and the experiences I went thru, I would NOT be the man I am today. There is no greater male initiation experience available in the world today. The military gives you a whole new perspective on life. I know what would normally stress a person with no military background out isn't even a blip on my radar. Consider this: dealing with half the shit you HAVE to deal with in the military, talking to women suddenly becomes quite trivial.

I would have agreed 10 or 20 years ago. The armed services in the UK are just fucked up at the moment though, so cannot recommend the same strategy here. I have known far too many people who have been chewed up, spat out and ruined by them, far more than really benefitted from them, at least in recent memory. The ones that really benefitted were about 15-20 years ago backwards, who got out way before the current mess. |

Hmmm...well, since I enlisted almost 20 years ago, I will agree with this. |

well Kidd, I was also in the army for three years (in Israel) and I was a fighter. Cause in Israel everyone goes to the army for three years (but not everyone is a fighter....) The army had some positive effects on me but also negative ones... I won't go into too much details here but Me as well as other guys in my unit: although we have been in dangerous situations and stuff, we still had fear around women, So I'm not sure about what you are saying... I have also met a lot of Israeli guys in India (when I was doing my 5 months backpacking trip) that were fighters in the army and then in India they got heavy into drugs. There were some advantages to the army but also a lot of disadvantages. Of course I don't know how things are in the USA army I can only talk about my experience in the Israeli army. |

that's the problem. The military does not promote\nurture free thinkers...since I was always a free thinker their robotic school of thought was not an easy thing for me. |

I won't go into too much details here but Me as well as other guys in my unit:
i want to clear that it's not a how to overcome fear to women, it's to undertnd why is the fear, robert by says that we look for woman as our saviors and we look for the same safetely and nurchering that our mother provide us in childhood becasue our fathers fail to show us a rigth male model, to break the pattern we have to look inside of us , it's like tyler durden says in the movie "We're a generation of men raised by women. I'm wondering if another woman is really the answer we need. ...sorry for using movies as reference but it's suitable in this ocasionalthough we have been in dangerous situations and stuff, we still had fear around women, So I'm not sure about what you are saying... i'm not saying that this is a fact but seems legit to me, and it encourage me to not be another betamale in the world |
