It's not about male or female leadership but about yin-yang, to embrace both sides of ourselves

This is something I've worked through in my Career. I am a Male Ballet Dancer by Profession, as well as a Dance Instructor. As you would expect, the majority of the time I'm Teaching young girls and women. When I first begin Teaching I would recieve blow back from the Older Senior Girls. Looking back, I was coming at it with the Male Bravado that my Male Teachers would use to teach me. I've since found that it does take a certain balance of energies. Seeing the Human who is Dancing, working through the problems, and growing alongside the Dancer they are working to become. My parents split when I was 12, the year before I started dancing. I had the thought recently, Since I was lacking in proper Masculine influence. How did I develop this sense of Balance around myself that I have . . . Because in my career, I was blessed with hundreds of daughters. 😅 I never expected this life in living, But I damn sure am grateful for it, and it's lessons.

Beautiful story, raw truth about an experience that if we see it, we can grow from it.

Beautifully said Simon 🙏🏼

Great interview.

So what he’s saying is we’re all having problems but we can solve it by being more like women because that works best with his thought process. He never addressed making sense out of male logic at all for men but rather the pure feminine aspect of the dynamic. Now risk rejection is a positive aspect of male learning that women can learn. What if they do? What would be the point of us needing one another if we are learning how to become one another? These things can help them in job growth but what about finding men in the current climate where they have an advantage? The question is whether we’d be needed if we take on too much femininity and women too much masculinity. Note: before I anyone asks, I already know the lady falling into her feminine made the people like her more. Different genders respond to behaviors in a more traditional way. What I find odd is that rarely are these guests ever truly pressed on their logic.

Polarity must exist to create attraction between masculine and feminine. It is such a simple concept, yet I never hear it addressed as to why men and women seem to be at war. Women have masculinized and the answer is not for men to feminize. Masculine women are tyrants and encouraging their behavior is just leading us further toward societal collapse all while gaslighting men to be more vulnerable (feminine) and it'll fix everything.

​@@Hesnotoneofus I think youre half way there. What your getting at is that modern therapeutic methods are built for women and not men. Men do not need to think and express more, as you said that leads to violent action potentially. Men need a solution to the problem and a direction. Men need purpose and that purpose can be solving our own issues if there is a method to do so. Unfortunately we dont talk about and solve men's problems in our culture so instead we will gaslight men as they continue to kill themselves and others because there are no genuine solutions or acknowledgement to the problems of these hopeless men.

In my experience (as Simon says) In the workplace, female leadership is wiser if you lead experience people. Otherwise they will challenge you. It s the same in life as we get older. But I think when you lead a very junior, they admire you, everything you say, they want male leadership to get to the right path. This is what it is about.

He wanted to tell that story so bad he was looking for any opening

What?... He didn't answer/address the question at all. Just had a casual chat about some tangentially related matter.

I used to train people ..I was shocked on the pressure men put on themselves ..they are internally stressed out.. but the facial expression is neutral ..but women ..I could often tell by observing that they were stressed out ..men in my opinion is not getting the nurturing as from past generations..some women are like.. suck it up ..some women are not nice to men..some men need to feel it is ok to express their emotions ..some men cant vent..they snap..some women need to nurture their man..to realize that he has feelings ..some men are obsessed with their grandma or mom..leaving out their wife..she isnt nurturing him..he is leaving her ..with all the chores .its just a lose lose situation..neither person is getting what they really need from the other person ..we are in a constant loop if critizing each other ..instead of accepting our differences ..men and women need to work together on their problems initially ..then ask for help ..be a united front ..there is too much emotional backstabbing..we are just stressing one another out ..I feel it is because people forgot that we are different..figure out what you can each do ..what you can work on together ..to be there for each other ..to have sympathy for one anothers trials..to do things to destress. I feel that people nowadays feel guilty relaxing or taking a nap .its taboo .but your body needs rest..people arent giving each other nap breaks anymore..people are afraid to ask for help..

We need human leadership to become a regular experience.... for every human.

Sorry but if "my team" is making me fail, the team HAS TO GO!!

What a terrible answer that doesn’t actually address the root of the question. Asked about the serious challenges men face leading to suicide and then he immediately starts talking about girl power. Ironically his answer serves as a strong example of why the question needed to be asked in the first place.

Men are depressed because they are soy boys. Coming from a participation trophy Era where they took all the hardship and challenges out of life where a man got to prove his worth, exercise his capacity to be valuable, etc. Men's testosterones level have dropped 50% since I think like the 60s but dont quote me on that just look it up when you have time. That's a big issues in and of itself. Men spend all their times online and not in the real world, the school systems cater to girls way of learning, and demonize regular boy behavior, there are less and less masculine role models these days, Men are just pussified

True, a completely irrelevant answer albeit an interesting case study on people management. Like a politician, avoid the question and offer a torrent of words on a different topic. The original question 'do men have these unmet needs' is valid - there have been waves of changes like the disappearance of industrial/factory jobs, work moving to China/Asia (globalisation), social media amplifying teenagers already heightened neuroses, the generational divide in wealth (owning property)... All of these have fuelled the sense of a loss of purpose in life. Perhaps it feels more acute for men than women. Or perhaps the whole male crisis is a myth? A recent Oxford University study on the effects of social media on happiness actually reported that young people (18-30) are broadly as happy or unhappy as they were 50 years ago. What evidence is there of a crisis of masculinity? Where are the stats?

I understood it perfectly. Many people have so much inculcated hate for anything considered feminine, it makes them stubbornly oblivious to what is required of them in relationships and in leadership positions, i.e. empathy, care, patience. Men and women both. Men and women are both taught that those things indicate weakness when the opposite is true.

Either I hang around in the darker section of the internet or I'm hallucinating and this is not real.

It’s as much about the people you’re leading as the leader itself. One type of leader doesn’t fit all no matter the gender.

Sorry, as a woman, I like some of the stuff Andrew Tate says. Women trying to be equal to men has absolutely not helped either gender.

Tate is right. His bombastic approach gets notice because he refuses to be governed by the tone police. The old IT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAY BUT HOW YOU SAY IT trope is tired and useless. Whether the information is delivered with sugar cubes in your mouth or with fire breathing crassness, those who will not heed will not heed. Team Tate over this way. He's unapologetic because apology is unnecessary.

Don't think he answered the question...

So let me get this right….. the solution is that the men need more honesty, more empathy, more understanding. Did I get that right? As a man I would like to apologise and will try my best to be more honest, have more empathy and be more understanding. Gtfoh.

bro talk about Andrew Tate so much BUT inviting him on. invite him on or are you scared of people ganging on you lol

Attention sells.

Huh. Being human and not a hard ass works after all. Whowouldathunk?

Consider a scenario: a mixed gender group get lost hiking in a forest. It is an emergency situation which will require someone to assume leadership. Assuming similar relevant knowledge, if all the men in that group anxiously cower in that situation in a way which forces one of the women to take that leadership......how do those women now instinctively regard those men? Would any of those women be likely to see those men as potential partners? Women have a deep need for men to be willing and able to take leadership and make sure they are safe in situations when it really matters. This does not imply any sense of ownership or lack of freedom. It also doesn't mean placing anyone's preferences above anyone else's. Its just a matter of the roles we play and which ones are harmonious with our fundamental nature. Our culture desperately needs to stop denying fundamental realities like this. It is making us all sick.

So weird you'd use that example. I watched a story the other day about a group of 14 year old girls on a 3-day hiking excursion whose adult male guides got them lost in the remote woods on day two. So - many miles into their journey. After several hours of the men leading them deeper into the mess, the girls took charge and got them out of the mess. And here is yet another man failing to take into consideration that men aren't always the most logical or capable ones in the group. It's that failure to see or acknowledge that he needs to take a different role - is precisely what makes a man unfuckable.
