All my life I’ve noticed a difference between men and women that goes beyond biology. It’s not about roles, but about inner structure. I always imagined two internal forces - call them A and B. Most men seem to be built primarily on A, with B as a lesser but present component. Women are the inverse. The split isn’t exact, but the tension it creates feels real. What matters more is how each sex relates to this inner tension.
Men, in general, know they carry both forces, even if they can’t name them. There’s an awareness that something “other” lives in them. Women, in contrast, often reject the idea of two internal forces altogether. Many identify only with one, and dismiss the presence of the other - especially the structured, rational one. In effect, the masculine within them goes unrecognized.
This leads to an imbalance. In recent decades, society rejected logos - order, structure, discipline - as oppressive. And because men are built from logos, this rejection cut into the male psyche directly. Men didn’t fight back. They withdrew. And now, ironically, women ask why men have become passive, checked-out, or unmotivated. They call men lazy or useless. But that’s not accurate. The truth is: logos was asked to leave. And it did.
Here’s what I find interesting: when women blame men, men accept the blame. When men blame men, men still accept it. But when blame is placed on women - no one takes it seriously. Not men, not women. It’s as if the feminine is outside the field of accountability. Psychologically, I think this ties back to the asymmetry: men live as carriers of law, women as expressions of nature. When law fails, the lawbearer is punished. When nature fails, we call it tragedy.
So now the culture has no functioning logos. The feminine rejected it, and the masculine, shamed by both sexes, refuses to rebuild. But logos won’t return out of guilt. It will return only when it is invited back - not as a tool, but as something necessary.
