Masculinity Amidst Madness
Ryan Landry
Top 10 Best Quotes
“These women do not stop to ponder the consequences of their claims to be playing with the boys. They do not consider the full male experience, but cosplay the particular parts the system wants them to play. She works hard for the corporation. She has meaningless sex. She acts tough. She isn't afraid to fight. She then wonders why women are depressed more, committing suicide more often, and why one in four are on mental medication. Playing at just a few parts of the male role drives women to medication, drinking, and despair. It is womans ignorance of masculinity that they would ever dare to claim she was performing a father's role. No man would claim to do a mother's role, for he knows he could never be a mother. A dog may jump around and act like a cat, but it is still a dog.”
“Be careful of the man who speaks of equality. The further from himself the grievance he wishes to address, the more likely he is hiding mistreatment of those closest to him.”
“You will not learn for others to pat you on the head and feed you a biscuit. That is a child’s approach. The applause of others is nothing compared to the satisfaction of gathered wisdom.”
“Charisma in this world is often just looking good and speaking well. Others merely project onto you what they want to believe to be true. Most people have superficial attachments and shallow thoughts, so the glib man can persuade many. One does not have to be a supreme salesman. No need to be a wizard with words. People clamor for a confident speaker that sounds the part. That your actions can deliver on words cements their allegiance. But even if you don’t become a leader yourself, you may find a key supporting role as a great communicator. Even before you speak, work on being a better listener and observer of cues in others. All messages must be tailored to the audience. In a group, there may be one listener who, if engaged, can turn the whole room towards your speech. Speak calmly, clearly and keep eye contact. Your voice is the voice of a leader confident in his capabilities and beliefs. Changes in tone should have a reason.”
“but the immediate insult is to sexual prowess. They know that is how you have chosen to define your worth. Deny them this. You seek the approval of greater figures, the men of the ages. Sexual prowess is to be esteemed, but to be led by your genitals is to be a teenager. The men from your line would be impressed by your bedding dozens of women. They would expect conquered villages and monuments left to your glory. But unless your notch count is the side-effect of such a life, they would be puzzled or even disgusted.”
“Your existence is atop a pile of bones. Those bones are made up of the family that endured for you. Those bones include those of others that they fought for you. Those bones are made up of the animals that they hunted for sustenance for you. Honor their sacrifice. Do not forget that you are the end result of their efforts. Become a part of the house that is your name. Contribute your stone to the glorious tradition that has been bequeathed to you. Be the caretaker for the next generation. Become the model for those of the next generation. Teach the next generation about your ancestors. Teach them about the role models from your childhood. Did someone fight in a war or build a home? Was one a carpenter, painter, tradesman or artist? Did someone plan cities and build roads? Art and tradition are not simply created, but must be maintained and cultivated so that the next generation understands their meaning.”
“Women want a leader, a man that is his own and makes her a part of his life. Consider the couples where the woman keeps her own name in marriage, and how that increases their odds of divorce. One house, one name. If you are relinquishing your freedom to build a family with her, she should gladly take your name. The sharp-tongued woman who claims to belong to no man would purr like a kitten for one she found worthy. Don’t believe the excuses women come up with to cover for their noncommittal behavior. Maybe she says it's for her career, as if she is destined for the corner office and executive salary. Forget the millions of successful married women for whom a name change was no hindrance (also forget that nobody really cares how much money a woman makes).”
“Women are drawn to men who take risks. Not simply in the cultural memes of men on motorcycles, but in the scientific proof of their attraction to men with facial scars. The scars signal risk-taking, proof that the man survived a challenge and maybe even left a foe for the worse.”
“What have they done? What have you done? How will you chose to honor them? Will people honor you? It is good to sing their praises, but hagiographies are children's tales. There is most likely something in every person you know who passes on in your lifetime that you share in common with them. Learn from their mistakes. Consider the errors they made. Think of their strengths and emulate them. To emulate and copy them is to honor their existence. This destroys the nihilists who argue how nothing is meaningful and everything is impermanent and useless.”
“What good did all the surveillance technology do for the victim? Where is the victim's father? Where is his agency? What is his power and influence? Where is his circle of family and friends? The perpetrator has a family. In days of old, this would have been settled by the families. Instead, the pity social media post goes up, dad buys his kid a toy, and the world moves on. A familial act of justice would prevent the next stomping for another child, but that is barbaric.”
