Thoughts landed on this topic due to some recent Twitter interactions & think there& #39;s some important ideas to flesh out here

I volunteer with young men in need & notice many of them display a similarly shameful tendency of emoting https://twitter.com/DoctorSlots/status/1330876145408106499">https://twitter.com/DoctorSlo...
Best way can describe it is like they wield anger in same way a child does, or a woman. It& #39;s not in their service, like a tantrum, reminds me of a eunuch

Because it doesn& #39;t serve them there is no authority in it, it& #39;s castrated type of anger
Like waving a gun around u are incapable of firing

Different to the masculine anger which is like a sheathed sword, domesticated and used discerningly

Why are they like this? I think they never dealt with an angry man, who can do them damage, someone who is older and stronger
Young men don& #39;t have privilege associated with a child/woman/elder who can emote like this and get away with it up to a point

These kids generally the ones who I see with mental health issues, I think it& #39;s a schism between their emasculated ego and their unconscious craving to
come into its full masculinity

What helps? From my experience they need initiating into a male hierarchy, they didn& #39;t have a father figure who was able to do that for them, or maybe they got bullied in school by the jocks/athletes so prevented from entering those ones
Male hierarchy I suggest: (old school) gym, military, fighting (MMA/boxing etc), there& #39;s also prison that will do it too

Main thing is they need to be familiar and intimate with the spaces where they will have to confront male anger in a (semi-)ritualised form
Attributes they learn: extreme ownership & not constantly line-stepping amongst men, discipline, in other words they become "trained", when ascending hierarchy learn responsibility, not to "punch down" but "serve to lead"

Added point: also this has pretty much 99% success rate into bringing them back to their own power, no pills (apart from red ones maybe), therapy, counselling

Just need a male with authority (someone who is "trained") to tell them, "I see you, and this is what you will do"
