Original Male Voices ...

      ... are the honest inner voice within our innermost Male selves (often ignored or silenced by outer interests and misunderstandings, reductionist worries and miss-directions (not a misspelling!) all around us) seeking understanding, expression, and sharing... humanity wide!

Dear Reader:

        As you ponder how to best read and digest the works presented on these web pages, and ask yourself what you may want to write and share with those trying to understand you and all of us humane males  better, with good intentions that it may finally be understood...

          ... Please be aware of how easy it is to  Confuse or Conflate the issues related to the "Man" you may have had to become, with the issues of the essential MALE you were born as before you (probably unwittingly) "accepted" that GENDER designation of "man" which is simply a programming OF your original essential MALE Resources into a societal organization that manipulated your individual identity to fit a particularized set of unitized values!

     Originally a cultural survival tactic that helped us survive by organizing our activities into a division of labor by body type, which seemed at the time to work fine when needed, but which we never were so much as allowed to realize at what cost males' continued endurance of, within ourselves, robbed us of our fuller male feelings. 

      Often, those expectations became increasingly intense expectations IN those roles and functions and subsequent societal expectation for us surrounded us, all while our fuller range of MALE emotional growth continued to be deprived from us and as if the roles and functions WERE "who we were", while we continued to be subjected to workhorse treatment, without ever being able to question it directly, and shamed if we didn't see that mistreatment as "normal"... Yeah, "right!" 

        Thus we find ourselves living in a seeming Normality for what is actually essentially ABNORMAL and artificially evoked emotionally reduced circumstances which had gradually become our entire conscious environment: one we lived in and reacted from, throughout our formative years, preventing our whole emotional MALE formation from taking place.  

       To put this into clearer focus for you...  while power issues may define many of us now, that is only one side of our whole male spectrum of emotional experience and expression, so it's this fuller range we've missed that OMVP is here to help us learn about and improve. Women have already tacitly used the power of the state to overpower any power we dare to use to further our own interests, and obliterated our near totally rejected feelings without concern as if our masculinity... the masculinity THEY had previously encouraged us to "protect" them with... was the danger. 

      To use the Power we learned anywhere but where we're told to, today,  can get us an outraged jail sentence, but unfortunately, trying to develop the rest of our male emotional range of expression, as kind as we may be, may land us an even longer  and more explosively angry sentence of assumed overpowering and/or taking we weren't even trying to do!!! (the meat and potatoes of what we'll be exploring at this site)  

       Thus the work we are doing here -- and our first selection is a GREAT introduction to the missing self inside us we've never had the older male support to develop -- is similar to what Robert Bly presented in his groundbreaking work (Iron John: A Book About Men) [cited and examined in The MALE Solution to the CMD*... ] and all the men's groups who tried to understand the problems we were starting to notice more and more as women united world wide for their own values and dared to call US a "danger" (the Patriarchy) and themselves all victims as they did.

     Radical feminist leaders' agenda towards equality (for them, not us), is STILL being touted, while our men's groups slowly deteriorate into disparate and desperate groups... never able to get very far in fathoming the ESSENTIAL reasons why our societally crafted selves were suffering so much and just being told to "man up" or "continue accepting" to ignore what feminists would NEVER ignore for themselves... all while females complained about even the slightest problem and received worldwide acclaim, as we sat patiently by waiting for her to signal we could enter her if we did what she wanted... afraid that what life gave us for free as its own directive would not only be extorted into giving our entire life to committing to one woman, even then or not have any societally validated place to "get any such feelings" at all!       

         The situation we find our Male emotions in today...

                      [note that the point made below is a short example of "Opinion Development" or                                                                       "Observation" writing, which you may like to try your hand at too... see bottom, below ]

         ... reminds me of a pirate movie from the 50s in which an English Royal Nobleman was ordering his 10 captured slave men to be whipped more so they would push turnstile spokes faster for more power;  men who felt alienated, were muddy, sweaty, bloody, exhausted, suffering, in pain, and even injured -- while the untouchable royalty sat there in his spotless silken robes, sipping a cool drink, and over indulging himself in choice meats on a silver tray, then crying out about how bad his indigestion "discomforted" him (yelling at the men as if they caused his "discomfort" all while they weren't allowed enough of any food to even satisfy their stomach in the first place,) as the Royalty lamented further... couldn't they see how Painful his gout (big toe) felt?, as he raised it ever so carefully onto a silken pillow before them,  while the men weren't even allowed to complain about the whips' lacerations or how they were being mistreated, caused them to feel.  Still, the "nobleman" continued complaining, threatening that if the slaves before him didn't push faster they would be whipped harder... as if their feelings were like horses' to be broken from, and his "discomforts" all that mattered.  Sound familiar?...  Indeed.. .by analogy...  with the women ruling our    emotional lives, by legislating theirs as if we don't have a MALE instinct and feelings of                                                                                                                                         our own, today!

      (Not all females, for sure, but the group many males have come to call "Feminazis" and our first author tones down to as RF (Radical Feminists) are so concerned with their feminine instinct control over us  that they only see us as a servant of their instinct, while totally disregarding that our male instinct is different than hers and needs to be regarded fully, not emotionally "whipped into subservience" to hers with one-sided innuendo, character defamation, gossip, alienation and insultingly disregarding silence).           

        Yet, even they are just the most recent group in this historical perspective, to take advantage of this misperception of our male identity; a misperception that started nearly two millennia ago, for a combination of reasons we can more intelligently consider in the books to come here, and discuss on our blog site to come, helping you make the individual decision to work on a writing of your own to share here, crafted with time and effort to be a memorable experience that will help us understand the lengths to which this ruse has been inflicted on us, and what we can do to help the rest of our society make the critical distinctions called for to finally regain our own MALE feelings, and have them given humane regard, as they always should have been!

Thus prepared a bit, my friends... OMVP welcomes you to think about the next page (below) in terms of what kind of writing you would like to produce, then navigate examining our current selection to get a good handle on all the issues involved... it's a GREAT overview of our male problems, and, by the way ... don't let the title fool you... solving the problems we experience as older males requires us to see where they STARTED in our boyhood. OMVP is dedicated to the understanding that solving the Dilemma our boys are in today, recognized by a growing number of caring guys as the Boy Crisis, will not only free them to be their better MALE selves, but us as well, by extension, in that very process, together!
