NYT writer urges men to abandon masculinity, but it contributes to male depression.
We Should Appreciate Each Other as Fully-Fledged Human Beings
In today’s hedonistic society, it seems that judging people solely based on their sexual appeal has become the norm. However, it wasn’t always like this. In the past, dating was a process that involved getting to know the person sitting across the table from you as a complete human being with thoughts, values, and ideas. Physical intimacy was reserved for marriage. Unfortunately, this has changed, and now sex often takes precedence over everything else. Some argue that marriage is risky for men due to the high rate of divorces initiated by women. But I believe that finding the right partner is the key to a successful marriage, and the way to do that is by dating in a way that values the other person’s humanity. After all, as we age, physical appearances will change, so it’s important to marry someone who shares your values.
The Crisis of Modern Masculinity
Modern masculinity is facing a crisis. More men are experiencing depression, addiction, and even suicide. This can be attributed to the fact that traditional male roles have been diminished or abandoned. Men used to find purpose and meaning in providing for and protecting their families. However, society began to view these roles as negative, leading to the breakdown of our social fabric. Feminism argued that in order for men to fulfill their traditional roles, women had to be treated as secondary or even as slaves. But this assumption was flawed. Marriage has always been beneficial for women as well.

A Solution for Men and Women
Some suggest that men should abandon masculinity altogether. They argue for a society where boys wear dresses and use mixed pronouns. However, this is not the answer. The real solution for both men and women lies in living virtuously.
By embracing virtuous values, we can combat the depression and confusion that plagues modern men. It’s time to reject the notion that being a real man means rejecting masculinity altogether. Instead, let’s focus on building a society where both men and women can thrive by living virtuously.

How can we shift our focus away from superficial qualities and appreciate each other as fully-fledged human beings to build stronger relationships
Ht partner and building a strong relationship is still possible if we shift our focus away from superficial qualities and truly appreciate each other as fully-fledged human beings.
One of the key issues in our society today is the objectification of individuals based on their physical appearance. With the rise of social media and the prevalence of dating apps, the emphasis on looks has become overwhelming. People are constantly judged and evaluated based on their attractiveness, often reducing their worth to mere objects of desire. This not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes and unrealistic beauty standards, but it also undermines the deeper qualities and values that make us who we are.
When we prioritize sexual appeal above all else, we miss out on the opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level. We fail to recognize and appreciate the diverse perspectives, experiences, and talents that each person brings to the table. By reducing individuals to their physical attributes, we limit our capacity to form genuine, meaningful relationships.
Additionally, the devaluation of commitment and emotional intimacy has contributed to the erosion of traditional dating practices. Instead of taking the time to truly understand someone, many individuals rush into physical relationships without the necessary foundation of emotional connection. This not only leads to shallow and unfulfilling encounters but also hinders the development of genuine connections built on trust, understanding, and shared values.
It is essential that we reclaim the importance of appreciating each other as fully-fledged human beings. This means looking beyond physical appearance and valuing the qualities that truly define a person’s worth – their intellect, compassion, integrity, and character. When we shift our focus towards these meaningful aspects, we open ourselves up to the possibility of forming deep and lasting connections.
Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that both men and women are capable of initiating and maintaining healthy relationships. The notion that marriage is risky for men solely due to high divorce rates initiated by women is an oversimplification of a complex issue. It is important to approach relationships with empathy, understanding, and open communication to build a foundation of trust and mutual respect.
In conclusion, it is crucial that we challenge the prevailing norms and appreciate each other as fully-fledged human beings. By shifting our focus away from superficial qualities, we can cultivate genuine connections built on trust, understanding, and shared values. Let us strive to see beyond the exterior and embrace the rich diversity of thoughts, ideas, and experiences that make each person unique. Only then can we truly appreciate and value each other in all our complexity and humanity.
