How I Successfully De-Toxified My Toxic Masculinity

The three most destructive words a boy can hear growing up are ‘be a man’. Sometimes, we merely hear the exortation ‘man up!’, as some sort of challenge to prepare to fight, or complete some arduous task.

But, what does it really mean to ‘be a man’? For centuries, it was believed that a man should inter alia be the provider (or ‘breadwinner’) in a traditional nuclear family, not let his emotions get the better of him (or be on public show), take personal responsibility for his actions,  be the decision-maker, demonstrate courage, bravery and integrity, and so on.

We now know that our ancestors were, at best, well-meaning, but are ultimately responsible for a society that is utterly broken by toxic masculinity.  Our fore-fathers are responsible for the rape-culture than pollutes the modern world and makes it impossible for modern womyn to enjoy a quiet evening out, getting drunk, while wearing skimpy outfits, without the risk of being sexually assaulted.

The Harvey Weinstein scandal and other #metoo revelations of 2017/2018 have demonstrated, above all, that most men simply cannot be trusted to behave when in the presence of womyn.  By their actions, men have proven the wisdom of feminists like Sarah Silverman, whose famous quote still reverberates: “all men are potential rapists”.

The first step to de-toxifying is to recognize that you are the problem

I, too, grew up in a traditional nuclear family and am therefore no stranger to the cult of toxic masculinity.  As I grew up, however, and left the support of my patriarchal family-structure behind, I began to realise there was something deeply wrong with the world. Worse, I realised that I was the problem, and that my toxic masculinity was harming all that was good and noble in the world.

I suppose I can trace back the beginning of my ‘awakening’ to watching TV programmes, films, and adverts.  None of the pathetic male characters I saw projected on my screen had the slightest idea how to cook, clean, or perform the simplest domestic task.  They were forgetful, absent-minded, lazy, were chided by the smart womyn characters for messing everything up.  For sure, they were physically (and emotionally) weaker as well.

The only thing they seemed to be good at was drinking beer, being aggressive and making crude jokes.  Womyn, on the other hand, were smart, caring, assertive, strong, emotionally-intelligent, and always thrived in leadership positions where swift decisions had to be made.

As I watched film after film, advert after advert, I began to recognise my own weaknesses and failings in the male characters who were the butt of all the jokes.  It was as though the film/ advert producers knew me better than I knew myself! About this time, I entered into a deep depression, wondering if there could ever be a way out of toxic masculinity.  I rarely left the home – worried that, if I did, I wouldn’t be able to control my urges and would rape the first womyn I met, just like most non-reconstucted men do these days. I wondered if I would become a statistic: despite white privilege and toxic masculinity, paradoxically the group most at risk of suicide is white males.

I’m looking at the (toxic) man in the Mirror, I’m asking him to change his (toxic) ways

The law of attraction… when in desperate need of a solution, the Universe will provide one!

A few years ago, life changed for the better.  I was in a dentist’s waiting room when I happened to pick up an old copy of ‘The Lady’.  As I opened the magazine, I came across details for an exciting-looking course: “Rethinking Masculinity.” which was “a partnership between the Washington, D.C., Rape Crisis Center, Collective Action for Safe Spaces, and ReThink, an organization that works to prevent sexual assault.” I signed up straight away and, as they say, the rest is history.

On day one, we were given a document showing ten rape prevention tips, produced by Sarah Silverman.  I still have the sheet, which I show below.  Some of these tips seemed fairly common-sensical to me; others, however, I had simply never thought of, such as NOT putting drugs in womyns’ drinks.  Other tips have stood the test of time and saved me from almost certainly raping someone; tip 9, for example, requires that I always carry a rape whistle in case I see an attractive womyn in public and feel my submarine’s ‘periscope rising to the surface.’

How to de-toxify your toxic masculinity in just a few easy steps

The course was helpful in so many other ways. I began to understand that historic toxic masculinity was caused by a vicious circle of upbringing in which generation after generation promoted the falsehood that there are differences between men and womyn.  I now know that this is simply untrue, that men and womyn are exactly equal in all respects, except that womyn do things better than men, including building bridges.

Other course participants have described the content and benefits they believe the course has given them:

We spoke of emotional labor, consent, violence, communication, empathy, and vulnerability,” [one participant said], noting that the last subject, in particular, was a struggle for him: “[I was] trained and conditioned to be tough growing up.” [emphasis added]

 The Rethink program is the latest in a growing number of courses targeted toward people who identify as men, including the Men’s Project at the University of Wisconsin, Masculinity 101 at Brown, and the Duke Men’s Project at Duke. The goal, proponents say, is to help men examine their own biases and behaviors in order to cut down on misogyny and gender-based violence.”

Conclusion

As a graduate of the Rethinking Masculinity course, I would honestly recommend it to anyone who identifies as a male.  Despite recent slippages, I would now never eat red meat or potatoes, for example, knowing that these poisons can elevate testosterone counts to dangerous levels.

  1. One problem with the SJW narrative is that blacks defy every component of the narrative and yet the narrative hinges upon defending them. It is kind of a joke.

    1. SJW-ism is a walking zombie as the modern left has not only strayed far away far from old school marxism and/or European-style Social democracy but it has started to abandon cultural marxism as well.
      What is currently getting peddled by the left is an overt cult of the sacred negro. Basically a nihilistic, almost millenaristic, worship of dark skinned third world hordes and all the primitivism they bring with them.
      In their sick mind the White Race is truly a social construct: they pretty much consider part of it not only people of European descent but even educated Christian Middle Easteners, Ashkenazi Jews, North East Asians and high caste Gujarati Indians.
      All peoples who either have very little in common or actually actively detested and fought each other for centuries if not millennia. They just happen to share certain traits: relatively light pigmentation, higher IQ’s and a modicum of self-restraint and rational thought.
      In all this women, gays, Jews, unionized workes etc. have absolutely no stake: the left now basically constitutes a revolt against civilization, their objective is creating a giant Haiti.

    2. When I talk to a morally upstanding woman for 5 minutes and she does not diagnose me with any toxic masculinity, I have a bad feeling I did something wrong.

    3. “One problem with the SJW narrative is that blacks defy every component of the narrative and yet the narrative hinges upon defending them. It is kind of a joke.”
      And let’s also include how muslim’s are also allowed to defy the narrative.
      Rape culture was designed to subjegate white western men.

      1. Ah right… fucken lucky. I was about rip into the cunt for rabbiting on about toxic masculinity.

  2. This is a buzzfeed type shitty article.
    ” toxic masculinity ” is a term used by feminazi to change the nature of men behaviors……you’re a joke.
    Eating meat and potatoes can make your T levels high and toxic ??? Hahahahaha what a fool you must be. and I wouldn’t surprise if you’re an effeminate soyboy.

    1. I wonder how ROK’s admins accept this garbage to be posted here….

    2. If it’s satire then I take it back ! lol
      good job you evil creature ….

  3. Satire or not, you don’t joke about certain things as otherwise they become part of reality.
    Thoughts are creative.

      1. Then next time you joke about your little Willie in front of the girl you’re pulling and see what happens.

    1. Lighten up. Rape already is a part of reality (it’s been happening for millennia and will continue to happen). As for not joking about it, why is rape considered off limits for humor but other topics (racism, disabilities, drugs, cannibalism, etc) are, while still frowned upon, not as severely triggering?
      As for the article, I have to disagree with item #5 of the rape prevention tips list. Having sex with somebody while they are asleep isn’t rape. It’s marriage.

      1. From the very beginning, I threatened my wife with torture and rape, even if I suspect she is not proud of her looks.
        And she knows, I’m serious about that.

      2. @MANly MAN, I agree with you, 100%. How come rape is taken more seriously! and the drama & attention (especially law & media) !?
        Is it (rape) a more serious crime than, say, for example; chopping off a Hand/Leg !? or permanently making Blind !? or even killing !?
        What happens to the rape “victim” !? Can’t she wipe her ass or masturbate or enjoy a steak or talk gibberish on smartphone or watch a fuckin hollywood movie or drive a car or do slut walks or walk bare chested !!??
        Obviously, nobody here is advocating rape and or sexual assault. We are just concerned about the double standards, gender biased laws and pussy pedestal.
        You can’t expect a Lion not to hunt & prey on the zebras or deers !!
        People, especially pussies MUST be in their limits, behave decently, not to deliberately & desperately $expose their flesh etc., etc., etc…. !!

      3. Having sex with somebody while they are asleep isn’t rape. It’s marriage.
        Thanks for the chuckle!

  4. First post and first comment on ROK; many thanks for the warm welcome! Sorry if the post “triggered” some on here!

    1. Obviously some guys here are not well read enough to understand and appreciate satire.

  5. Lmao… Maybe this will get RoK taken off the SPL’s hate list. They’ll put it on the list of reformed goyim.

  6. Also where can I buy a rape whistle? Do they sell them on amazon?

    1. They sell the 120db sirene
      Which ironically being used as hashtag #120db by women who are actual victims of rape that being betrayed by those metoo harpies.

  7. You won’t catch me stepping in when a man is assaulting a woman, with the exception of women in my family. I might call the police but that’s all. No need for me to risk my life.
    Charities specific to women’s health or well being are ones that you won’t catch me contributing to.
    And no, I don’t give up subway seats to women, nor do I pay any attention to parking with signage that designates spaces for expecting mothers.
    And through all this I’m going through life with great fulfillment and little resentment.
    When you don’t give a damn it matters little what others think, and this includeds modern SJWs. My indifference > their anger. Modern feminism doesn’t liberate women, it liberates men! And it feels damn good.
    Cheers!

  8. Rape whistle is brilliant. I’m buying one and running “rape whistle game”.
    Her: What is that?
    Me: Rape whistle, and no I won’t have sex with you. (place rape whistle in mouth)
    Watch hamster run;)
    Come on men, give me your ideas, I’m running with it today!

  9. Do they sell rape whistles on Amazon? I hope they are available via Prime with two-day shipping because time is of the essence, we all are potential rapists and we really need to stop them rapes! I’m here to help because it’s my duty as a man and I don’t want to shirk it.

    1. two day deliver?? I need a next day deliver, I dont know if I can stay two day in a row without raping a womyn

      1. Thursday is Rape Night!
        Wimmens get in for free, and get a free Rape!

  10. Wow, congratulations on your first article, Hugo. It’s time for accredited journalists like yourself to get deep behind enemy lines on the internet, just like the 77th battalion, in order to counter hate speech and fake news right at its source. As we can see, already Russian bots are characterizing your brilliant article as “satire”, or “a joke”. There’s no end to what these Russians will do to stop progressives from reinforcing mainstream, accredited narratives. Every sane person understands that the time has come for a new definition of masculinity. Toxic masculinity is the root cause of all of the world’s problems, from war to rape to capitalism and greed. If the world was run by women, there would be no war, but if we’re going to have males running things, then at least let them be reconstructed males. Congratulations Hugo – your article has no doubt inspired millions!

    1. Thanks, MDB. It’s ironic that founder of ROK, Roosh V, can write a satirical piece about rape (http://www.rooshv.com/how-to-stop-rape) that Jonathan Swift himself would have been proud and yet is treated so seriously by the accredited media that he is banned from actual countries for ‘promoting rape’ . Then I submit a serious autobiographical article suggesting the deployment of rape whistles and am accused of ‘satire’!
      As always, the solution lies in more laws and regulations. My modest proposal is that all satire must be clearly stated as such and always end with the “/sarc” just to make it really clear.

      1. Agreed. They can’t expect us to be rocket scientists and work out whether someone is being serious or not. It needs to be spelled out for us. When I can’t work out whether someone is being serious I just get confused and angry – it’s unreasonable to expect us to be that sophisticated.

      2. @Hugo, did you also suggested “false rape accuser” whistles !? Lol.

    1. Totalitarians the world over agree with you. Satire and humor are haram!

    1. TOROK
      Stupid grown American men and their stupid media.
      Simpsons? Its a fucking cartoon.
      In the DEATH WISH films the criminals are all played by Jews and Irish (Goldblum in DEATH WISH 1, Thomas F Duffy as Nirvana in DEATH WISH 2) but does anyone ACTUALLY BELIEVE that Jews and Irish are street criminals in real life?
      I’m German-American and I don’t care about Nazis. Trump is German-American, his father lied to his Jewish tenants and told them he was Swedish, and he does not care about Nazis.
      If you have seen one film about Nazis you have seen them all.
      Who gives a shit? Yes, World War II was a tragedy its over. Long time ago.
      Cambodia was horrible tragedy. Stalinist Russia. Uganda. I could go on and on.
      But I am not crying my eyes out over being German-American and it is doubtful that Trump does either.

  11. These days, most satire is unintended–self-parody. Understandable that some of us have a difficult time discerning conscious effort when there are so many “own goals” out there.

  12. I never had to “detoxify” my MASCULINITY; for there is NO “toxic” MASCULINITY.
    All pussies are potential FALSE rape accusers !!
    All pussies are potential PAEDOPHILES !!
    All pussies are potential SLUTS & WHORES !!
    All pussies are “confirmedly” UNGRATEFUL !!

  13. The scary thing about the internet these days is that satire and sarcasm are only about 50 percent likely to be detected as such. And then people will actually start to believe and parrot the satire as if it were real and they are an promoter of the belief.
    Waiting now for this article to be used as evidence that ROK is finally coming around to the SJW way of thinking…3, 2, 1….

  14. Cheers for the tips on rape prevention bro.
    I was onto 3 of them already, but the others took me by complete surprise.
    Back to Day 1, I guess.
    I promise myself not to rape anyone tomorrow, but sometimes it’s hard.
    Shit happens gnomesaying?
    Anyway, life is finally looking up ever since I made a concerted effort to check my urges. I’m waking up with way less bruises and scratches on my face. Less losers are showing up on my doorstep and calling me “dad”, like wtf bro? w/e
    And I’m having a lot less low self-esteem thots bothering me with their stockholm syndrome.
    Anyway, if I make it to day 30 without raping anyone I will be sooo proud of myself; I’m gonna buy a nintendo switch and give a big gaping spyboy smile when I finally make it.
    Wish me luck, some coed slut just walked past.
    Bye for now.

  15. You’re a fucking idiot. Guess you’ve been feminized. Feel to think that your manhood requires introspection. This website has been high jacked.

  16. Seen on a shirt someplace:
    Rape is no laughing matter,
    Unless you are raping a clown

  17. I wish someone told me not to rape when I was young.
    That raping a woman is a big NO-NO!
    I mean, I did not rape anyone, ever.
    But I always felt missing out.
    I felt a weirdo for not doing what every other male is doing (if I can believe the Feminists, and why should I distrust their info?): raping women whenever and wherever they can.
    But now I am relaxed.

  18. BAN this stupid autor imediattelly ROK.
    Fuck this “satire”.
    Fuck this kind of “humor”.
    We don’t need that kind of “smart ass” here.
    ENEMY INFILTRATED. KILL IT.
