Social Experiment, Part X

Society’s rigid, inflexible roles that it has carved out for people.  No room for growth, for evolution, for acceptance.  No room for expression of individuality.  Society’s cruel strict domineering roles state, nay, they order that men not be allowed to be a bit looser, to express themselves more freely.

Written in blood and carved in stone.  Rigid unyielding ordered structures pre-determined roles

All we have for young men is violence.  That is it.  That is the only socially acceptable outlet of energy, aggression, pent-up frustration that needs to be let off like so much steam, that is available for young men.

Society has deemed it unallowable, unacceptable for young men to have natural, healthy, expressions of their emotions.  No natural acceptable, expectable expression of sexuality allowed from young men.  They have all this pent-up energy, and they need to be able to break free.

Young women have it easy -- micro skirts, hoochie jeans, stiletto heels, clear heels, bare midriffs, tube tops.  They have some sort of colored plastic bargain bracelets that apparently they wear if they do specific sexual jobs.  They have easy access to all these expressions of sexuality that they can turn to.  These free, healthy, and natural expressions of sexuality are available at any retail store.

And almost all the stores in beach towns.  Strange men walk around with video cameras and bark at young women to flash their bodies, i.e., to lift up their shirts and underclothing to show their naked bodies to said strange men with cameras.  Young women can turn to any of these avenues for guidance, to know what to do, to learn how to handle their changing and growing sexuality.

But we have no analogous free, natural, accessible, healthy expressions of their bodies for young men.  No revealing clothing.  No freeing, liberating, natural shoes that indicate what sort of attitude this young man has in regards to his own sexuality.  No convenient jewelry or charms that give some sort of hint about his attitudes towards sex, about what his limitations might be or as should be more often the case -- about how far he would be willing to go.  No indicators that would give onlookers a clue at a quick glance as to what sort of sexual tasks a given young man would be willing to do.

Like I said, the young people nowadays can take a quick glance at a young woman's cheap plastic molded bracelets and can instantly recognize it as an outward expression of her sexuality.

There is no parallel convenient, easy-to-understand marker that would enable a young man to reveal to other people who he aspires to be.  In terms of happy sexual favors.

We cannot ignore this growing need from the young men of society any longer.  That would allow this young man to have some help, to find his footing in this world.  That would give him a chance to connect with other human beings, that would give him an opportunity to make a place for himself in this world.  It would give him a subtle push in the right direction.

So many young men today are at a loss.  They do not know what to do with themselves.  They are not sure of how exactly they fit into this world.  This is a growing, ever-changing, dynamic world.  They need guidance, they need some hint as to what is real and true.

They should be able to have access to the same resources of guidance and truth and reality that young girls have.  These young men should have guidance especially in regards to their own growing and changing sexuality.

There should be strange women walking around with video cameras intoning young men to lower the front of their pants and reveal to the world their selves.  Without these forms of guidance for expression of sexuality and truth, for the bigger picture _is_ truth, young growing men are simply lost.

Young girls are learning about their bodies.  They are learning about their sexuality.  They are learning that their bodies are changing and it is only natural for them to want to express to the world that they are becoming women.  So too, it is only natural that young boys might feel lost and a little bit confused about their sexuality.

It is simply an unjust, unfair misfortune that young boys are not given sufficient sexual role models to emulate in their own lives.  It is unjust that young men are not given hints, or any guiding compass whatsoever that would allow them to know how to best to conduct their sexuality so that it is pleasing to those around them.  Oh, why don't more people think of the children?
