Someone who thinks!
Slightly-incorrect-framing, but you are onto something…
Having women train males in social-process-competence ( & therefore in social-process-confidence ) would be good/useful.
( I’m an old male mind, btw, not a wymmin, obviously : )
The problem’s more-fundamental than social-behavior, though:
People can be in the mere-animal stages-of-unconscious-mind-development, in which case unconsciousness, identity, hormones, & ego rule the whole world,
XOR people can be in self-conquering condition.
Civilization has eradicated that from our lives.
Tribal-villages used to allow males to measure themselves against the forces-of-nature until self-conquering was earned ( a kind of training which had a terrible slaughter-rate, for the number of successes ).
When we switched to feudalism, & industry-feudalism/oligarchy, we never put a proper growing-up-means for the more-testosterone-driven humans, so we broke self-conquering, leaving toxic-masculinity to fester…
It isn’t domineering-others, it is conquering-one’s-self, that is the ultimate Male condition, but the whole world ignores that, because the systems & processes in-place eradicate the potential from all the lives that the systems/processes can.
There was an article in Reader’s Digest, possibly last-century, & a principal at a school had failed, & failed, & failed, to communicate to parents how different the learning-process NEEDS to be, for the yin ( girls, in his mind: I’m the one who threw-away the sex/gender, leaving only the yin/yang ), vs the yang.
Finally he knew:
He got the kids divided in the gym, girls on 1 side, boys on the other, & the parents up in the bleachers.
He asked the kids: “Who of you would rather learn in a quiet library?”
Nearly-all girls, few boys, hands went up.
“Who of you would rather learn in a boisterous classroom?”
Nearly-all boys, few girls, hands went up.
NOW the parents understood!!
The process required for growing-up boys is pushier than the process required for growing-up girls!!
There’s a book ( glanced into the sample of it ) called “Balls: It Takes Some To Grow Some”, written by a trans-man, iirc…
It’s on the nature of male-culture…
The Problem, is that the “education” we’ve established on all kids DOESN’T respect yin-vs-yang nature, OR different-learning-speeds-in-different-subjects, OR truth, not institutional-authority, is THE decider of what is right ( teachers can be wrong ), OR correcting-the-learning-materials-when-they’re-wrong, etc…
The WHOLE THING is “educating” our lives into defectiveness, instead of autonomy, competence, capability, & understanding.
& when you begin with that bedrock … what kind of “masculinity” is going to grow??
Certainly-not the right kind, eh?
The more intellectually-pushy a learner is, the more-intellectually-pushy the training needs to be.
The more physically-pushy a learner is, the more-physically-pushy the training needs to be.
Etc.
With the goal being self-conquering, which isn’t even on humankind’s map, at the moment.
That social-process-training would do actual ( needed! ) good for many men, due to the wrong-education they were subjected-to is true.
But correcting-the-problem required re-engineering “education” into being growing lives, not breaking them for institutional-authority’s-comfort, as John Taylor Gatto, NY State Teacher of the Year Award winner, learned.
( he discovered, after trashing his teaching-career by telling the truth, in the research he did later, that it was the coal industry who had paid for the education-establishment, so as to prevent any more Lincoln or Franklin types from occurring, & it worked )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Taylor_Gatto#Main_thesis
John Taylor Gatto is the one who explained that a VALID ( & knowing they are valid ) child isn’t manipulateable-by-the-institution the way the institution requires, for its status, among institutions, to be produced…
but a broken child, dependent on provisionally-bestowed-by-the-institution “approval”, IS manipulateable.
THAT cracked-open much of middle-class-institution/gov’t-institution bullying, for me ( gov’t towns are worst for that ).
Social-competence, with associated social-confidence, is required, & your idea is right in correcting that problem…
but that problem isn’t the fundamental one.
( also, broken-parenting due to parents not having livingwage, thereby economically enforcing attachment-disorder, is another fundamental-cause of the problems our current world is embodying )
You wanted males NOT contributing in the discussion, so downvote me, all, but the points stand on their-own, because they test to be true, & in my values, truth has rights, including the right-to-be-seen/heard.
