Challenges men's roles and negative societal stereotypes. Unhealthy stereotypes. That of being the provider and strict domineering leader of the family. Men should be encouraged to break free from these horrible oppressive roles that society dictates that they conform to.
They should break free, go with their heart, break the mold, dance to the beat of a different drum. And that if they dream hard enough, then anything, ANYTHING, is possible.
We should have more male strippers and prostitutes.
We have kept men's bodies hidden away for far too long. We have taught them to be ashamed of their bodies. Women are always encouraged to strip in public as often as possible and this is definitely a good thing. There cannot be any argument against that. Anyone who says otherwise is as bad as Hitler.
Shouldn’t men be encouraged to be free and be proud of their bodies? We have unfortunately, consciously or not, festered a culture that teaches men that they should be ashamed of their beautiful regal majestic forms, taught them to hide away and that women should lower their gaze if ever they encounter a naked man walking around on the street.
In the workplace, in school, in public life. Every day, we are telling men that they should wear shirts that button up to the collar, that button down to the wrists, pants that go all the way past the ankles and reaching the heels of their feet.
Not an inch of skin are men allowed to display or be proud of.
And it seems, people as a collective consciousness, are unwittingly perpetuating [[[ festering, feeding ]]] this edict. Any time if people encounter a naked man in pop culture or in public society, they express shock, horror, disgust, fear, nausea. They say, "Ew gross, put some clothes on, or "keep it in your pants buddy." However, if they similarly see a naked or near-naked woman, they say, "take it off honey," or "show us your t--s."
We have Times Square billboards advertising the TV show "look good naked." This is a show that encourages women to feel free to express their sexuality out in public on 60-foot-high billboards.
Why are we not fostering, growing, and nurturing men's sexuality in the same manner? We should be encouraging men to be much more free and liberated. We should be encouraging men to feel comfortable with their bodies in all aspects, as procreators, as sexual beings. We need to encourage men to feel that they should be on an equal footing with women.
Perhaps one day we can envision a universe in which men's sexuality is truly celebrated. Not in covert, secretive, dark elusive manners such as simply talk. But in a much more welcoming, safe, manner. We need to try to actively transform this society into a safe place, a place where men can feel comfortable. We need to be a more loving, accepting society that welcomes a man who wants to express his sexuality -- his OWN sexuality.
