Good to meet you Jeff! Boys need so many more people like you in their everyday lives. The average male, as you put it, is taught to "put away" the thoughts of childhood and not only give up their most fundamentally honest and sincere understanding of life they ever had, but then find it difficult to try to help boys everywhere stay in touch with their own Good MALE selves too! Thinking like a philosopher since about the age of ten, myself, I have come to not only wonder about how we got to see ourselves as males today, but continually look for answers in history and historical fiction, to find just where and when and how we have veered from our more emotionally in touch male selves. The Division of labor by sex, which seems so intuitively normal, has been taken to abnormal extents, with few males understanding either that that or, along with it in these more recent decades of discontent the Radical Feminist agenda of equality may be great for all women, but ignores that males never learned the male sensitivity and sensuality she learned about her FEMALE instinct and self in living the kind of roles and functions society gave her, Males, of course have been specialized and corralled not only OUT of our caring MALE lives to aspire to ever more powerful and authoritarian positions, but in doing so created a generation gap between boys and matured males that leads leads to so many boys becoming the "Children of the State." Our society seems to have missed the critical distinction that Male Identity is CIRCULATORY by nature, and that since boy's nature is the same, that older male Fathering is about recognizing a Male Nature Nurturing Relationship between us all... to varying degrees appropriate to our goals, not the separation and fears of reaching out currently misleading most males.
