The Power of No

First off: What is Masculinity?

Lots of definitions out thereWebsters DictionaryModern/Feminist news mediaCulture you grow up with (Race/Religion/Community/Family/Group of Friends)Everyone’s personal opinions & beliefs Our definition of Masculinity @WASMThe truth is, opinions are like assholes - Everyone has one. That’s why we focus on FACTS and Science. Masculinity comes from the Latin masculus (“male, manly”), originally mās “male”.So what is “male”? The counterpart of “female.”The short version: What does Masculinity and Femininity look like? Watch boys and girls behaving without parental input.

What is the Power of No?

With all this in mind, let’s dig into our first topic in our Masculine Philosophy series - “The Power of No”What is The Power of No?Simply put, it’s the ability to set solid, unbreakable boundaries - and, when necessary, enforce those boundariesWhy is “No” so important?“No” differentiates between who you ARE and who you AREN’T“No” lets other people know what you WILL do and what you WON’T doExamples of “No”“No” determines the border to your property Area that’s open for the public vs Your private property (aka Trespassing)“No” defines the rules of lawTaking food samples at Costco is encouraged...

Hey wait you chauvinists. “The Power of No” is obviously a useful skill for everyone, both men and women. Why do you include it in Masculine Philosophy and not just Human Philosophy?Great Q: The answer is because, again, Men and Women are different. Or rather, Men and Women SHOULD BE different. Our current culture seems hell bent on smushing the two genders into one androgynous, amorphous blob with boys and girls both wearing skirts and lipstick, or business suits, or leather boots and high-waisted jeans.It’s about Masculinity vs Femininity: Men are genetically built to say “No”, Women are not“No” is fighting word. “No” is a word that inherently requires conflict. Telling someone “No” means you are about to abruptly change the nature of the relationship, whether they like it or not.Feminine women dislike conflict but Masculine men enjoy it. Not only do masculine men not have a problem with conflict, they are excited by the opportunity to have a challenging interaction with someone, to compete and to win.“No” is a word of leadershipMasculinity is inherently driven to success and victory. Masculinity pursues competitiveness, aggressiveness and excellence, and constantly desires to become stronger and more powerful.Femininity does not have ambitious drives like masculinity but rather has her own mysterious set o
