We first start with masculinity:-.
The popular notion of what masculinity is, and if you ask someone, “What is masculinity?”
His answer to you will be: “It’s the other form of feminism, but in favor of men”! If you investigate the reasons that shaped this concept in his mind in this way, you will find that: The linguistic similarity between the two terms in terms of their association with gender. Masculinity> (for men) and feminism> (for women)
But here’s where any supposedly intelligent person comes up with an important question:
Is it really reasonable to take this similarity as evidence of similarity in concepts and meaning? How can we answer this question?
The answer is by knowing the concept and definition of both terms, and then comparing and contrasting them.
There is a fundamental rule among scholars that says: “Judging something is a function of its perception.
In other words, in order to make judgments about certain things (words, actions, or concepts), it is necessary to visualize that thing presented for judgment, meaning to understand and assimilate it to a degree that enables the beholder to have a complete idea about it in order to make a judgment, and here, too, an important question should come to our minds: Who defines the concept of this term?
If your answer is linguists and sociologists, then the term “patriarchy” (patriarchy/masculinity/patriarchy) all have the same meaning, which is :
Masculinity is a term for the set of behaviors, ideas, laws, and interpretations that lead to the dominance of males in a society over females. In English, the term “Patriarch” is more popular than others, and after a simple search in some famous dictionaries, including the Oxford and Cambridge Dictionary, we find that it carries the same meaning, which is:
(a social system in which the father or older brother has authority over the wife and children). Having clarified the meaning of this concept, does this ring a bell?
The verse ‘Men are the guardians of women’ and other Sharia evidence that is not hidden from you that a woman must obey her husband and his guardianship over her responds to you.
So, patriarchy, or as sociologists call it, masculinity, is part of Islam, not an imported Western idea.
But is every male Muslim?
The fact that this behavioral social system is part of Islam does not necessarily mean that everyone who adopts it is a Muslim, just as justice is part of Islam and not everyone who is just is a Muslim, and just as Islam supports motherhood and parenting and not everyone who believes in the importance of motherhood and parenting is a Muslim.
Islam adopts this social system…
Why do we call ourselves “masculine” and why don’t we just identify ourselves as Muslims? And why did we choose “masculine” instead of patriarchal or patriarchal?
In fact, when an issue is raised and you have an opinion on it, you have to choose a name that represents your opinion and orientation. …. Like Shia and Sunni. The monotheistic Muslims did not call themselves “Sunni” until after the Shiites came out and said we are the monotheists… We are in an age where you have to distinguish yourself from others. If someone says I am yellow, you must choose a color that distinguishes you so that others can understand what you have.
We also adopted the term “masculinity” in light of the fierce war by the feminist movement and its followers on this patriarchal system and the attempt to strip the father of all his powers and promote selfishness and individualism, and one of the characteristics of feminists and leftists in general is that they are famous for their shaming language
Like the term homophobic for anyone who rejects homosexuality!
The strange thing is that feminists actually succeeded in this and put Muslims on the defensive, so instead of discussing the meaning of the term masculinity and whether or not it is something really reprehensible, Muslims started disowning it and rejecting it, and put everything that does not follow their whims – even if it is from religion – under this label…
Our choice of the term “masculinity” sends a message:
I am neither subject to nor influenced by the shaming language used against me, and in light of the fierce war on the father’s leadership and status and the husband’s legitimate rights, I choose this opinion in favor of it and am proud of it.
This is what distinguishes the male movement from others and makes it more widespread despite its small number of followers. It does not adopt a defensive stance that will lead to nothing but wading into the quagmire of compromising principles in favor of the other side, instead of bringing the other side back to the right path and correcting its deviation.
Some of them say that the solution is the middle ground between masculinity and feminism (and I confess to you that I was from this sample), but not after I understood the meaning of masculinity and its concept, and that not every middle ground is a good middle ground, it may be disgraceful if it is between right and wrong.
There are a lot of questions that I received about masculinity, but I want to limit myself to this amount and answer the rest of the questions raised about it and others (at the end of the article, in a question and answer format) so that people don’t get bored with the length of the introduction, and before I move on to the next topic that has an important interface) that you need to focus on.
We now turn, friends, to:
🔴[ #The_Red_Pill] 💊
The idea of the red pill is a far cry from the conflict between feminism and masculinity, specifically taken from the 1999 movie The Matrix. This movie is about a virtual world called The Matrix, created by computer machines in order to domesticate humans and subjugate them to use them as batteries (power generators) for their benefit, which makes humans live in this virtual reality. (The story begins with the protagonist (Keanu Reeves) who by day works as a software designer, but by night he turns into a hacker nicknamed “#Neo” with disturbing questions about the truth.
A rebel group led by Morpheus recruits Neo and offers him the chance to reveal the truth about the Matrix:
They are #red pill or #blue pill 🙂
They are two cultural symbols that represent the choice between #embracing the painful truth of reality (the red pill) …. and the #blissful ignorance of reality (the blue pill).
Although everyone would prefer to know the truth, either out of curiosity or not being satisfied with ignorance, the bitter taste of the red pill often prevents them from eating it.
The Men’s Rights Organization in the West linked this philosophy to feminism and gender relations in such a dazzling way that their concepts became an integral part of it, and the red pill became a sign of rejection of everything that leftist media outlets try to instill in the minds of societies from feminism or from trying to force the lie of gender equality – which over time has become an unquestionable truth – into our minds.
It is a sign of awareness of the reality of each gender instead of treating them as a single being, which results in psychological and family stability, and they often rely on statistics, studies, and figures that support their views.
Among them are the
Hypergamy
/
meta-attachment
which says that 80% of women are attracted to the top 20% of men in terms of position, social status, economic status, etc.
All the governmental measures of feminism, such as abortion, freedom of dress, sexual freedom, etc. This is harmful to society as a whole, including their denial of the exaggerated portrayal of women as victims, and accepting the fact that “male privilege” is nothing but a lie promoted by feminism in order to obtain more privileges and greed, and the evidence for this is many, including:
that human societies are characterized as gynocentric This means that they put the interests of women and children ahead of men for the survival of the community as a whole, which results in men being generally replaceable, which makes men die earlier than women and puts social pressure on them to be self-sufficient.
– Men are institutionalized in a male-biased family court system.
– They are the majority of the homeless.
– They are the majority of prisoners.
– 93% of workplace fatalities are men.
Four out of every five suicides are men.
Men get 63% more jail time for the same crime as women!
<Ref 1>
are less likely to see a doctor
They are the least likely to have health insurance
<Ref 2>
Almost all autism victims are boys.
Men are more likely to be prosecuted, imprisoned or even executed when they are completely innocent
<Ref 3>
The red pill is simply a way of saying “I am conscious, I am willing to understand reality as it is, whatever it is” but in a beautiful philosophical way, period…
🔴 Moving on to the MGTOW
Men Going Their Own Way is short for “Men Going Their Own Way”
If you want to know the difference between Redbull and Mgtow, I’ll explain it to you in a simple way.
– The red pill symbolizes “understand the system”.
– Mgtow symbolizes “deciding to leave the system after understanding it.”
Why did they decide to leave the system? Why did they choose not to get married?
Some people may think that the reason for their reluctance to marry is out of self-love, or out of hatred for the very act of marriage. In fact, there are many points that need to be highlighted. In addition to judicial injustice, social injustice is widespread, as this man tells the story of his wife who divorced him even though she was at fault, and the judiciary financially ruined him with expenses and costs, and that he was cheated and deceived, and after the divorce – as is the case with us – the mother has the right to the children They have a popular saying
Women have the right to children and Men have to fight for children
The mother has unquestioned custody of the children, and the man just has to provide a check every month for his children, whom he has no right to see as he pleases and no say in how they are raised. Men in the Megtao movement don’t resent the fact that they have to be fathers, they resent the fact that they are not allowed to be fathers, and here is one of the shocking stories I found. A father who, after a separation, found that his daughter had been adopted by a family without his knowledge.
<Reference 4>
However, the situation in our country is not going to improve, and our society and judiciary are lost between the marital rights and duties in Islam and the claims of equality, which, if the matter continues, will result in a more ugly picture than that of the West. A man is obligated to do what a Muslim is obligated to do in marriage and does not have the rights of a Muslim. Although employment opportunities are equal between the two sexes, he has to pay alimony even after divorce, the dowry and the high costs of marriage, which he pays for a relationship that has a 41% chance of failure, and he does not have custody of his children and even has specific visits to see his children.
It is an escape from a miserable reality and unfair laws that do not take into account the nature of each gender and your right as a father or husband to enjoy life without a woman, traveling, meditation, achievement, self-improvement, tourism in pristine nature, gaining higher degrees of consciousness, etc.
🔴 We now begin answering the #Frequently Asked Questions:
❓ #Dhikr_Alpha means dry and bad dhikr and the Prophet used to command gentleness.
❌Uncorrect, an alpha male is a “dominant male” who has more access to power, and in the animal world this can be through intimidation and physical ability. In wolves, he has the ability to bond with more than one female and the alpha usually represents the true masculine qualities of men.
On the contrary…
“#Beta” males: Weak, submissive, confused, low-status men who only have access to relationships when women decide to settle down and go looking for a man, often representing feminist or SJW men and their rejection of authority, support for equality, etc.
❓ Are we against anyone who refuses to call themselves “masculine” or “redpill” or be among the celibate?
❌: No, and I have a lot of friends who I consult on a lot of things related to feminism and other things, and they don’t like to call themselves any of those labels…
We do not prevent anyone from exercising their right to marry, which the Prophet recommended to us, nor do we allow anyone to interfere with those who choose their own path of celibacy and save themselves and their money from governments and laws that “boast” of taking away your right in the name of equality.
❓ Do we have to believe in (all) the concepts of redbull and megatonics and what it’s all about?
❌No, we benefit from their experience because the feminist movement reached its peak and completely dominated their societies and they know what the situation became after that, and I tell you that part of what is presented on their sites is “junk” and has no basis in truth, you as a Muslim make your center of Islam and such concepts deal with them as you deal with many sciences such as biology, which may explain some of its sciences in an atheistic evolutionary way.
Or it can be interpreted in a way that reinforces the question of the existence of the Creator
It is more correct to approach all sciences and philosophies without exception with a positive attitude.
❓ Why do you recommend using positive reinforcement for masculinity but not for feminism?
🔷️الجواب on this is by knowing (the basis of) each of these two streams…
The basis of feminism, with its concepts, demands and rights, is equality, which is religiously and biologically invalid (at the end of the Thread is a link to a Thread that shows this).
The basis of the redbull, which is masculinity (the concept of which we explained at the beginning of the porridge), is fine and can bear right and wrong.
❓ Why generalize to women without exception, are all our sisters and mothers included?
🔷️الحقيقة Writing the word “generalization” and “without exception” in the same sentence is nothing more than an attempt to expose the ignorance of its owner.
If you read the Qur’an, you will find many examples of generalizing people with disbelief and ingratitude, even though they include the righteous, the devout, and the prophet!
(Saudis are Muslims) is a generalization. (All Saudis are Muslims) is a generalization. The first is right and the second is wrong, so don’t blame me, unless you see me using “all” in my speech.
❓ Calling men masculine makes women less receptive to the idea, and masculinity drives women to atheism.
🔷️ This is the issue that masculinists are trying to address, instead of correcting the misunderstanding, we are managing the error, its owners, and their misunderstanding of the issues,
If you look at their situation, the mere word “obedience to the husband” alienates them from religion and the idea of obedience. Is the solution to correct their concepts and teach them the rule of gharam al-gharam, etc. or delete the word obedience from the Qur’an and Sunnah in order to accommodate them?
Saying that masculinity drives women to atheism ignores the fact that atheism only increased after the spread of the feminist movement in society and the accounts of feminists who question the existence and greatness of God, just as the scientists “hated us with religion” because they command us to pray five times a day and testify that there is no god but God.
They are all “pressure tactics”, until they get you yourself to do the work for them of compromising and twisting principles to suit their desires.
❓ By demanding to marry a foreigner, males prefer foreign women to Saudi women, even though the spread of feminist thought is more active and strong in the rest of the world than in Saudi Arabia!
❌It is not true that the demand to marry a foreigner is due to favoring one woman over another, the goal is to multiply the options so that they only have a competitor and the demand for them decreases, and this will lower dowries, improve their morals and eliminate the narcissism of many of them that makes them take everything from you and not be forced to offer you anything, and their leniency in asking for a divorce.
❓ Can women be masculine or patriarchal?
✅Yes, anyone who believes in a man’s right to leadership, status and authority in the family is patriarchal, regardless of gender.
What about the excesses of masculine behavior such as cursing, slander, dry language, misplacing texts, addressing any woman as lacking in intellect, and accusing women of covering up even without evidence to prove it?
There is a difference between the approach of masculinity itself, and a person’s style, personality, character and dealing with others, the first of which we have addressed most of the confusion and issues raised about it in Al-Thuraid, while the second has nothing to do with the subject other than advice and guidance. I advise young people to wait before passing judgments so that this term does not become vulgar and used by whoever wants to use it on whomever they want, the accusation is for those who are trying to confuse feminist thought with Islam without declaring this and claiming that they are against feminism!
I’m done here with this narrative.
