    I've followed Terry for years and I leave my favorite quote in many many places I comment.
    “Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one person in one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” - T Real
    I learned how to fight fires because of Terry Real. Thank you for this. I Love you Terry... even though I don't know you. I owe you more than you will ever know. 🔥

    Women have been forced out of the patriarchal model, but men still comfortably sit in it while not realizing that they aren’t even performing to those basic standards. It’s very rare that a man can be the sole breadwinner. So if women make our own money AND if men don’t give us any emotions, they’re not worth a relationship. I’d rather have good girlfriends than a drag of a partner.

      There’s no such thing as a patriarchy in modern America. Men are beaten down by every major institution, media source, Hollywood, etc. Women are praised for merely existing. T-shirts for little girls cheer on “girl power” while those for little boys are about wanting to be lazy. There are more women graduating college than men. Men are told they are toxic all while they have a much higher suicide rate. So-called patriarchy is just what women use to play a victim card, because victimhood is currency these days. But it’s hooey. And yes, I’m a woman.

    So true! Today’s woman wants more emotional support rather than financial support because women are more financially sufficient but need life-long partnerships. And today’s men want to be needed but at the same time have created technologies that fuel self-sufficiency and individualism. It’s the paradox of modernity and neither men or women are satisfied with the status quo. Lord help us all!

      Honestly the solution is having men grow more as Fathers and husbands. Learn that there are different ways to 'provide' and be a rock for their family. Women and children need men in their lives. We need our Fathers, our brothers, our sons and are partners. Emphasis on partner.
      Of course men aren't the only problems because some women don't value the good men in their lives and only think of men as the old way of just bringing in money. Some women can be very selfish and this harms their children as well.

    I read a couple of Real's books in 2019 when I was in a relationship that wasn't going to go anywhere but I wanted to prove to myself that I had done everything right/had known what to do in relationship, had done everything I could do to make this work if it was going to. And what I learned to add to what I had already been doing has been helpful ever since. Just while listening to this, I put a quote of his on social media.
    I am fortunate to have learned many of these relationship skills starting very young, but my parents, while teaching them to their kids very well and making sure we had access to the right resources to learn them, didn't know or use them so well themselves, so I learned just as much by watching them struggle and not be able to figure things out...Terry's material is a continuation of what I was given so young, and I think Terry has been such a great bridge between "the Christian authors who knew what they were talking about in the 60s and 70s but the U.S. was a little different then" and "the 21st century when everyone knows the state of the world but people haven't been willing to bring much of what the experts of 50 years ago knew into that world," so that he even more empathy than someone my grandpa's age can these days, with how things are these days...but he really knows how to word and cloak the fundamental classic working wisdom in the terms and worldview that are being used now. I'm glad he has a new book coming, and I'll see about finding it when it's out. Thanks John!

    This episode content is EXCELLENT, thank you 🙏🏼 as a psychology student and a fairly sensitive man, I've wrestled with this dynamic of women expecting a tough man all the time, who can handle anything, yet also women expecting a man to share their feelings. When I do that and am vulnerable, it often backfires, and the evidence that many women really don't respond to a vulnerable guy, rather he's put in the friend zone. And playing that tough guy role all the time, I cant do that because I'm not being authentic. So I'm oscillating between authentic self and who the world responds to me being, in terms of the dating world.
    Thank you For Delony for helping bring authenticity to our lives 🙏🏼

      Women absolutely need to change their need for a total tough guy. It’s not a fair expectation. I had that too. There is a balance. Don’t stop being authentic, and keep seeking ways to find some authentic masculine traits that work for you- maybe grit and determination. I’m sure you have some, you just haven’t realized it.

      I interpreted that statement differently. He was saying that was the standard for a happy marriage in that era. As long as nobody was abusive or an addict the marriage was considered successful. Divorce was not an option, and when it started to be an option they better have a damn good reason, like severe abuse. People did not necessarily marry for love, they stayed together when they fell out of love, they didn't date for long or live together as often before marriage. He is saying society is changing because we are becoming dependent on each other in different ways than we used to. Women and men had different expectations of each other to consider it a happy healthy marriage decades ago than they do now.

      @@captainsisko7629 legal patriarchy is one thing but the mental patriarchy is sometimes worse. I was reading about this fundamentalist group. The man was in jail but he was still contacting and controlling all of the women he had trafficked. He told his daughter he would give her a child himself. That's an extreme version but many Churches still teach that wives must submit to their husbands. That men are supposed to be the leader and woman the follower. Not that they are equal partners and one flesh before the lord. They ignore the part where it say men are supposed to submit themselves to their wife as well.
      As for the law. While some men get screwed. In truth a lot of men need to be forced to pay for their children at all. The state rarely fully restricts child visitation unless abuse is involved but man do fight to see their kids at all. Most often the woman is abandoned to do most of the child raising on her own. That's half of the current population of mothers in the US actually.

      @Kell Harris You story about the father traifficing is irrelevant because it is so rare. Bible doesnt say "Men submit to wives" Ephesians5:25 "Husbands love your wives, just as Christ also love the Church" Modern pastor will try uses Ephesians 5:21 which is referring to mutual submission between all christians in general, if that includes husband and wife that is very debatable. The Bible clearly state man is head of the wife . Today modern Churches pander to women, this is one reason most men are not attending church any more. Mega Churches get more money offering from women than man, this why is Pastor in modern church like bash men in the pool pit it increases their bottorline.

    This guy has a point, but I think he's missing part of it. I really don't think women want men to simply be more emotional or vulnerable. We want men who have emotional intelligence and maturity. We want emotional intimacy. Not immature little boys who cannot handle themselves, who stonewall, or are emotionally distant, or who lose their temper, or who can't read our emotional needs. We want a strong but gentle man who has high EQ. That is sexy. That is attractive. This is why women say "be a fuckin man, stop being a wuss" in response to a man being vulnerable. Because they did it in an immature, selfish way, not as a grown man who can humbly love and own every part of himself.
    And I say this as a gay woman 😂 Us women need to work on this too. Oh my god, living with a woman who is basically a 5 year old emotionally, who plays games and makes you guess what they are feeling and needing instead of communicating it, that is irritating and exhausting. We all are figuring out what healthy communication and true intimacy looks and feels like and are starting to crave that in marriage and relationships.

Whereas, since women are wired to talk and thereby feel better, when a woman is in a bad mood, she does need the man in her life to do some listening; and him listening helps her mood improve.

      You start by demonstrating how strong and valuable you are;
      Then you engage them physically (their malleable minds won’t be able to resist an aloof, strong male);
      Nurture a dependence in them for your strength, but DO NOT be emotional and vulnerable (neglect them emotionally);
      Inspire hope in them of forming an emotionally connected relationship, but don’t actually be vulnerable with them, just suggest emotional depth;
      And, now for the truth, you can’t have a relationship with a woman - they want that emotional relationship, but the sex dries up when you give it to them - so now you have to separate entirely.
