  Tom,
  For several years I've been noticing a trend in society. A blurring of the gender lines. Roles that were traditionally done by men or women are now being swapped. One example is when the husband stays at home to raise the children while the wife goes to work. Also, the behaviors and attitudes of women have become more aggressive while some of the men are more lackadaisical. How much farther can this imbalance go? Gurdjieff once said that studying truth principles makes men more masculine and women more feminine. Did Vernon Howard speak about this? What is your take on this matter?

     Hello Tony,

      It’s not that some role reversal – men at home, in certain economic situations or at any other time, helping with children, house cleaning, etc, - is wrong. It’s the whimpinization of men in general. Men have a natural responsibility, inherent, to take the lead – including even, the first to break the ice after an “argument” -- as one example.

     Men’s weakness fosters women’s aggressiveness. But the problem often is, that men hear this high spiritual advice, and go cruel. They take acting like a petty tyrant as a display of strength and/or spiritual maturity. Men need to mature as men, before they can go on to higher spiritual states.  Unpopular fact, but true. 
     
     We’ll address more of this in a future podcast. It’s a big thing you raise. Important.

      Thanks for writing Tony.
