What if… more white middle-aged men stood up and showed the world they don’t belong to that box?

Many societies expect women to be kind, caring and collaborative (what a load of crap ;-). This gender stereotype social construct falls on men also.

In this blog post, I want to talk about the White-Middle-Aged Man box as I question that white-middle-aged men think they are superiors. That white-middle-aged man thinks they have the right to rule the world, that they expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter etc.  Men who believe at the core are entitled to things. That they believe because they have power in the form of money, they can ‘grab another woman by their pussy’ - to use the phrase that the former President of the United States said so effortlessly. 

I question this stereotype, however, some men seem to fit perfectly into that box!

Oh yes, they do.  

Even though I question this stereotypical gender box, I’m very much aware that SOME MEN come out as the very typical male chauvinist pigs. Some men have visited that box quite frequently in their lives, and some even live in it and believe wholeheartedly in its existence (hence the former President Donald Trump and the many men who own the right to the #MeToo stories etc.).

Then there are some men who don’t fit in that box at all! 

I know so many beautiful white, middle-aged men with absolutely nothing in common with other men, of the same race, and age group, who seem stuck in that stereotypical gender box.

  • Men who are deeply concerned with what is happening in the USA today with the abortion law.

  • Men who are caring and kind by nature want nothing more than to see their sons and daughters grow up in an environment where they can be safe to be themselves.

  • Men who look at their other half as partners, jointly working on creating the life they both desire.

  • Men who respect themselves and respect other human beings.

  • Men who aim daily to become better, bolder and brighter as the highest version of themselves.

  • Men who want happiness, joy, peace and unity.

For some reason, too many of them sit quietly and don’t speak up for themselves.

But, what if… more white middle-aged men stood up and showed the world they don’t belong to that box.

What if there were more proactive white-middle-aged men standing up to defend the rights and privileges of society and showing the world that they do not fit within the male chauvinist box. 

Calling White Middle-Aged Men Who Don’t Belong in That Stereotypical Box!

If you don’t belong to that stereotypical white-middle-aged-men-box - then say so!
Stand up for yourself and humanity!

REMEMBER!
All of these boxes are made up! They only exist if you believe they are the truth!


The New Paradigm for Gender Equality Manifesto isn’t about women only… it’s about the human right to be able to become more of who you were born to be, less who you have been socially constructed to be by your gender, race, religion, background etc.
