I don’t see why chimp society with constant war and violence should be any better. My Note: nonsense, why should war be better? Jack Donovan seems to prefer the warring chimpanzees and says our current western society is more like a bonobo one. The bonobos are a matriarchal society where women mate with everyone in the group. The chimps are a patriarchal society where men compete with each other. He compares the chimpanzees’ society to the bonobo society. It’s with violence that we evolved to compete for status and power. So masculinity has become whatever people want it to be.Įven the effeminate man claims to be the “latest evolution of being a man”.īut ultimately, you have to stay true to the core value of a man.Īnd, the book seems to suggest, it’s not with words or career that we evolved to compete. Today we do it with sports, video games or trying to make a career.Īnd even then, most men don’t take part in those. Jack Donovan says there’s a part of us that still longs to be a man. ![]() ![]() I agree indeed that women are little concerned with honor. The effeminate men represent the complete opposite of what men should be standing for. He says that when men scoff at other effeminate men, they are often rejecting their weakness and their lack of manly virtues. It is also mostly referring to other men. Your reputation is tight to the other elements of strength, mastery and courage. King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: The 4 Archetypes of Masculinity That’s why I recommend reading “ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover“. Overly courageous and putting people’s lives at work for personal glory is not courage, but it’s bad leadership. I think it might be easy for men to misunderstand this step. Such a man, makes the gang more vulnerable. CourageĬourage means taking action even when there are risks or dangers.Ī man who takes no risks or sacrifices nothing for the gang is a man that cannot be relied upon, says Donovan. Mastery is equivalent to the “Magician” male archetype in “ King, Warrior, Magician, Lover“. ![]() If you’re a firefighter, it might be your courage, or your ability to go climb a tree without any gear. If you’re a football player, it could be how well you defend or how well you score. If you’re a soldier, it might be your endurance or your marksmanship. This will depend heavily on the type of gang you’re in. Mastery is your level of skills in a certain field. She will still have a good life and she’ll have several men lining up happy to help her out.īut if a man is weak, that’s a big stain for him that will make him less respected among other men. Jack Donovan says that a woman can be strong as well.īut if she’s not, nothing will change much. Men differentiate from women because, on average, they’re stronger. ![]() Men, says Jack Donovan, are judged by other men and attract women when they obey to four core values: #1. To Donovan, being a man means going back to when we used to sit and camp around a fire, guarding our caves, women, and possessions.Īlways looking outside at what could threaten us and always ready to attack it. Introductionĭonovan says we sometimes see men trying to get back to what it means being men in the primordial way.īut they have to do so in a way that seems unnatural in a culture that does not accept those natural expressions of manliness. Some consider Jack Donovan a red pill author, but to me, his content is more like “male-tribalist”, similar in that sense to Sebastian Junger. An openly gay author, he condemns gay culture when it overlaps with feminism and leftist politics. Masculinity is at odds with our PC, overly polite societyĪbout The Author: Jack Donovan writes on masculinity.A man needs a gang of other men to fully develop his manhood.A man must show Strength, Courage, Mastery and Honor.
