Today I want to talk about the generosity of men and how it often gets us into trouble and turns us into manginas. And many generous men don't seem to have the word "no" in their vocabularies. It's often said that for a young man to have his father in his life it's generally a good thing because masculine traits are passed down from one generation to the next. But in some cases the qualities that get passed down can be detrimental for the next generation of men. It all depends on many factors including large generational and cultural gaps. My own father is forty years older then me and grew up in Eastern Europe during and after the second world war. He was brought up in a communist country where people tried to live up to the fantasy of collectivist ideals. And women generally are more collective then men and men are more individualistic. So in some ways the battle between collectivist communism and individualistic capitalism in the twentieth could be seen as a fight between a male and female psychology. Women want the safety of numbers by being part of collect and to treat each other fairly in the outside world but in their private lives that's usually where they show their true nature. From what I've seen, men in general tend to be themselves more in public spaces with other people around. And then tend to go home and are fake around their wives trying not to rock the boat and find themselves spending the night in the dog house. But getting back to this idea that generous men are flawed. I think that generous men that are always wanting to help out other people just for the sake of being do gooders are rewarding women for their narcissistic behavior more then they are helping them. I think that men shouldn't bend over backwards to help strangers. I don't care how many times you've watched uncle Ben die in the first Spiderman film with Tobey McGuire. With great power a man shouldn't be forced to take on great responsibility. With great power a man should be free to do whatever the fuck he wants. Why should a successful male be forced to look out for others when others aren't looking out for his best interests? This seems like a simple argument, yet my father taught me to help strangers and to have good moral character.
