Wow, that was fun. And that comes from qualities with social anxiety who watched the room individuals up and became increasingly horrible.

I had no idea so various people would accompany, but then Diane Hamilton and Bert Parlee fall into the standing of ingrained rock stars, so I essential feature guessed that influence toss. And, Luke Fullager was missed - as he was powerless to make the jog from Australia.

We to all intents and purposes didn't talk that by a long way about Deida and Farrell, state from using them as touchstones for various issues. The comprehensive agreement is that they are not AQAL-integral, but that they are by chance implementation from an ingrained slant. In fact, Diane called David ahead the discourse and asked him - his acceptance was, "Of direction I am not ingrained, ingrained is a map." He spartanly went on to say that he helps people untie spiritual and sexual knots in their lives - that is his vacancy.

OK now, time to be forcefully honest.

Seeing that I am in situation such as that (feeling dangerous and a bit whitewashed), I try to be as present in the twinkling as humanly manageable, which direct I end up with very miniature evoke of what happened. Grant is a way that I feature college to get out of the way and let doesn't matter what is leave-taking to come out, to come out... which by chance takes my short-range take out offline or everything.

So, in reality, Sean and Suggestion essential feature asked qualities extremely to do this session.

We began with a question from Suggestion on "Do we need an ingrained manliness, and if so, what does that look like?" From acquaint with we were off - as I alleged, I feature very miniature take out for what happened or what was alleged. But I'll get a challenge at it.

Diane made a good point in observing that we had a woman on the transmit (her), but that the women's transmit felt no need to feature a man on theirs. That says a lot about in which men are in our see into the future of masculine identity - it's just about like we feel we need a woman's slant so that we don't piss human being off, self-same feminists.

We talked a miniature about mentoring - this is a fork I like. Pelle and I align that mentoring is good and recurrently important, in that boys do not learn to be men in a nothingness. My slant is that we do not need to Discipline boys how to be men, but practically, we need to vessel a safe apartment for them to stick their own spit of what it direct to be a man.

We besides talked about how to riposte to the feminist attacks on men as dominaters and oppressors. Bert used some humor and an viewers ballot (I think it was on this question) to imply that acquaint with is a miniature aloof spaciousness to talk about the feminine fog than their used to be, and that it may part of our community. I optional that we not get a stand on this issue, but that we get a stance, that we stand for open and fluid to the criticisms practically than become defensive or go on the distressing,

Gilles - whom I had never met ahead, or secure heard of, but is qualities I somewhat like and feel a contact spit with - brought a gay man's slant to the transmit, which was standard - he besides brought humor. He talked about being not liked by the "boy's club" for not being a good steeplechaser and all of that having the status of he was young, so that he college a great recommend about manliness and agency from problematical women. It turned out that various of the guys in the room, essentially younger, had besides had the touch of a strong woman in their lives. As qualities who together with his teen soul in a children's home of women, with a unarmed mother, that's fascinating to me.

One of Farrell's ideas that we did touch on was the "not needed male," with apiece Bert (I iffy) and Pelle making good points. This is one letter in which a lot of men ring with Farrell. We are seen historically as oppressors of women, which is only partially true (acquaint with was no assortment in gender roles and actions until about the 1,600s or so), but we were past it in wars, in the fields, or doesn't matter what to support families, or to pay excise, or doesn't matter what.

We made the occupation, women made the home and the infantile. Women were flowing from making infantile with actual stick (a point Gilles made very well), and from acquaint with they had various aloof options to scout their roles, as men still made the occupation. This is a essential point of Farrell, as well.

In the viewers Q&A appendage, a young man asked about ingrained role models, and in which we essential look. Pelle made the standard point that implementation with peers to bait out what our ambition influence look like is a good way to go about it. My spit is that we do not one or two role models - what we need is a amity to statuette out how it works best for each of us to clear our definite manliness in an "ingrained" way, doesn't matter what that direct. We influence want to try on traits of various people we venerate and oilrig an integrated slant that is our own.

All in all, that was a stream - I want the attendees had a good time as well.
