The Rational Male - Positive Masculinity

Building on the core writing of The Rational Male, this newer volume offers men practical ideas for improving their lives, grounded in a frank view of how men and women relate. Its four sections cover parenting from a Red Pill perspective, the nature of women's psychology, the social forces shaping modern culture, and a view of positive masculinity. The parenting section speaks mainly to fathers, offering guidance on raising sons and daughters with an awareness of the messages children meet from a feminine-centred social order. The section on feminine nature gathers revised essays on common female behaviours and their likely causes, and suggests ways men can respond more effectively. Another part examines how these tendencies influence Western legislation, cultural stories and social expectations, including the rise of an egalitarian outlook the author sees as disguised female dominance. The final section argues that men should define masculinity for themselves on rational grounds, at a time when popular culture seeks to ridicule it. The author, a well-known voice in the online men's movement, presents the book as the third companion to his longer work.
