Manosphere, One-Way Monogamy and the Exploding Concept of Relationship

It is a new Moon week. Energy is forward leading after March 20th and the spring equinox... 

Evolutionary change begins with looking around at our new landscape that includes the Israel-Iran-US war new developments, including the "r" word being spoken. 

The "Men of the Manosphere" doc by Justin Theroux requires a fuller conversation. See a snippet on Istagram. I watched it so you do not need to!

Women's equality is at the heart of the manosphere. It is also at the heart of Christian nationalism, and TPUSA, sweeping the American right.

There is one thing people are missing.

There's Casey May, whom H. S. Tiki Toki introduces to the documentarian as his dishwasher and cleaner. There's Angie, girlfriend of Myron Gaines, and Kristen, girlfriend of Justin Waller, both of whom claim they are accepting of their respective partners' belief in one-way monogamy. End quote. Hey there, it's a new moon week this week, the moment where eclipse season wraps up and humans step into the path of the new era beginning in earnest in April. Energy is forward-leaning after March 20th in the spring equinox, but we will not feel the full force until April 17th's new moon. Evolutionary change begins with looking around at the new landscape we face today. You don't have to do anything because you have, if you're on the evolutionary path, you have let go of things that cannot come with you in the new era. Hey there, I'm Taylor Marsh. Welcome to Blue My Mind. Humans are geared to search for spiritual connection to explain life. Organized religion in all its forms is how humans understand our existence. I am still moved by the rituals of my church, but experience shifted life beyond my Episcopalian teachings. The stars, planets, and universe are not for pleasure and research alone. Experience taught me there is a mysterious synchronicity between human life and the universe, and God energy plays an integral role. Cannot go further into the manosphere conversation that I want to have until we talk about the Iran-Israel-US war. Over 2,000 U.S. Marines are now in the theater on the ground. Still no authorization from Congress, but that is not the worst of it, in my opinion. From Politico Today. Quote, we clearly just kicked Iran's ass in the field, but to a largest extent, they hold the cards now, said one person close to the White House, who, like others in this story, was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the war. They decide how long we're involved, and they decide if we put boots on the ground. And it doesn't seem to me that there's a way around that if we want to save face. Another person, the tur quote, the terms have changed, and a sec said a second person familiar with the U.S. operation in Iran. The off-ramps don't work anymore because Iran is driving the asymmetric action, end quote. This is what happens when an ally, Israel, becomes the driver of American foreign policy. Now, this is not anti-Semitism, me saying this. There are reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu was going to hit Iran, and Trump wanted to go along with him. That is the truth of what the reports have said, because Netanyahu's focus has always been striking Iran. We can go back and forth on the political reasons in Israel, but that's not the topic today. The other thing that happened today, excuse me, is that Trump's counter-terrorism official, Joe Kent, has resigned. Now, regardless of his uh thoughts on many different things, this is what he said about Iran, that it that the country posed no imminent threat to the United States. That's what is important in this particular conversation, because he was a counter-terrorism person. And it matters regardless of if he has other ideas that I don't agree with, you don't agree with, uh, on political matters. The important part is that he couldn't stay in his position because he was diametrically opposed to why President Trump went in. Now, in energy terms, this is what happens when you make unilateral decisions amid evolutionary windows like the eclipse season. It is synchronicity, the ominous kind. It's not cause and effect, it's synchronicity. Now, because of the war, there is talk of a recession in America due to the impact of the war. Financial experts speculate it will land around the time of the election in November. Now, one of the energies coming this year is Venus retrograde, which lands October 3rd through November 13th. Mythologically speaking, when the planet of love, beauty, and finance retrogrades, we can expect a shakeup. Especially if if life is on unsteady grounds, like if you go into a war that upsets the financial underpinnings of our country, things can get bad. Again, this is not cause and effect. Synchronicity is human events and the universe coupling in a moment of time. Humans often play into these evolutionary moments. For instance, Netanyahu was going to target Iran, keep targeting Iran, and Trump decided to go along for the ride. No good can come from unilateral action in which our traditional allies want no part. Francis Macron made a uh a statement today that France has no plans on helping America get out of this mess in the Strait of Hormuz and uh denying oil tankers passage. It is a mess. This is the backdrop for our lives at this moment. America First, a Trumpism, has become America alone. Now we're going to turn to an entirely different subject. The Manosphere, which resonates with the times. It seems fitting with people like Pete Hegsith, top the Defense Department, aka the Department of War. The MAGA world, however, is quite different from what a recent documentary explores. The Manosphere documentary on Netflix, Men of the Manosphere by Justin Thoreau, is interesting because it reveals a cultural, ethical, and moral chasm between America and what's happening in the world of boys and men. What is important about the documentary is the confirmation of the worldwide anxiety of men. So far, the answer seems to be, I mean, the answer for them seems to be controlling their lives by finding women too stupid to understand they will be left penniless and without a way to financial security if they do not have a contract with their male partner. Contracts can be many things. It can be marriage or it can be a legal document, but you better have one. TPUSA does not have an answer for this modern dilemma either, and neither does the manosphere. The foreshadowing of these events happened a long time ago. It was the 1970s, and women began our ascent to institutionalize our equality. There are a lot of people, mostly men, talking about the horrors of men and boys today. Where were they in the 90s? When it became clear that feminism was a challenge traditionalists would not be able to stop. Back in those days, I was relationship consultant to the second largest alternative newsweekly in the country, the LA Weekly, talking to women and men about how to attain a lasting partnership back when online dating apps did not exist. I have I used to have boxes of thank you notes from people who had found a partner with a little help from me. Women's equality had roiled the dating world, but there was no manosphere standing against the equality of men and women in relationships, work, and life. The Newsweek's man crunch story and the quote that resonated until the start of the 21st century comes to my mind. And here it is, quote. End quote. Author Susan Filudi in Backlash reminds everyone of how the quote heard round the world manifested, quote. Today the entire world is grappling with the reality that evolution comes for us all. Women's equality just happens to be the biggest event in human history. Yes, human history. Feminism stands alone in an era where religiosity has spiked as the answer to the issues for and facing boys and men. Women's equality is at the heart of the manosphere around the world. It is at the heart of Christian nationalism sweeping the right, and what is the foundation of TPUSA. And Charlie Kirk, that's Charlie Kirk's group. The Justin Thoreau Manosphere documentary provides a lens outside the United States, although some of it takes place in Florida. From The Guardian, quote James, 22-year-old criminology graduate, found comfort in the red pill ideology after a breakup. Red pilling means rejecting societal conventions, especially those around treating women with respect. Master manipulators is a favorite refrain of red pill promulgators and concentrating on yourself instead, especially your muscle mass and earning potential. If you don't get too invested in women, you can avoid all the heartbreaking stuff. Another quote from Yahoo UK Today, quote. Dating and relationships have been further blown to smithereens. But I gotta ask you, is there any such thing as one-way monogamy? In the manosphere, it is foundational to the relationships the women have with the men of the manosphere in Europe. Unlike TPUSA's marriage boot camp and adherence to the new nationalist Christianity sweeping political right-wing circles in America, the worldwide manosphere believe in misogyny without a code. Although putting sexism and code together is kind of discordant. Now, uh UK glamour has also weighed in. When Lewis, the documentarian, presses her on Myron's belief in one-way monogamy, she explains that she doesn't mind as long as their relationship remains his most important. Quote, the women that he sleeps with, he's just going to be with him for like, you know, a night, end quote, she said. When one of the Manosphere influencers talks about multiple wives, however, his girlfriend visibly balks. Quote. I don't know how that would work, she says with a grimace, before her boyfriend, clearly feeling awkward and embarrassed, tries to backpedal on his comments. I might find, you know, two women too much, he admits, and then sends Angie away to um clear the room. At the end of Lewis Thoreau's Netflix documentary, we learn Angie has left her Manosphere influencer because she wants a family. Interesting, yes. We meet Kristen Waller, a former X-ray technician whose partner is influencer Justin Waller. Kristen and Justin have two children with another on the way, and they are unmarried. Quote. My lane is changing diapers, cooking and cleaning, and his lane is working. We don't cross into each other's lane. It works for us, end quote. In the end, UK Glamour finishes the article with one of the moms of the influencers of the manifest of the manosphere saying, quote, the way women are stereotyped if they have multiple partners. I find it extraordinary. But it's been like that since the beginning of time. End quote. Oh boy. Another quote from UK Yahoo is quote, I don't give an F. I I do what I want to do. She's loyal to me. It's monogamous on her end, open on my end. She packs my effing condoms when I travel. That's how real it is, end quote. Yeah, it's real, all right. So I thought I'd um uh also include a uh long clip from a psychology today article, and um it begins, quote, the preoccupation with self and its pitfalls is evident in Lewis Thoreau's Inside the Manosphere, a next Netflix documentary about status-driven heterosexual and hypersexual men in their twenties. They find themselves competing with apparitions that purported beta men whom they're apparently superior to, yet chronically feel threatened by. Arguably, for them, there is no sense of self outside status. Repeatedly, their ideologies betray contradictions. For example, they may view pornography with disdain while profiting from it. And there's no sense of how or why clout makes them respect themselves in any meaningful way, especially when considering that their perpetual rage makes the opposite seem true. The incoherent narratives about what's worth pursuing reveal unstable identities. The men in the documentary act erratically, in large part it seems, because there are no stable guiding principles, because they are chronically adapting to internet trends. The underlying feeling across the board seems to be confusion. But I have to stop on the on the whole word of principles. That's it. Principles. What are your principles as a man? One of the things in the 21st century, we are in 2026 after all. Men have got to make peace, even if they don't like it, with women's equality. It is non-negotiable. You cannot argue with evolution, you can you can push it back, but it is inevitable. The partnership that a man and a woman has together must come with a contract. A contract. Now TPS uh TP USA pushes the marriage contract, but understanding in that is so many other things. In the documentary, um, Lewis Thoreau talks to these men and they talk about things like the number of men a woman has slept with matters. But the answer is wild. The reason it matters is because every time a man pleasures a woman, the semen that enters his bot enters her body, contaminates her brain and and her cells. I kid you not. This is what this one influencer from the Manosphere said about the numbers of women. They need to know those numbers before they couple because they can't have the out the outcome of their relationship if it if it is a child, it might be someone's someone else's kid. And he rationalizes this by saying, you know, when you see a baby, it doesn't look like you or your part, it doesn't look like you, it means that she's had too many partners. This is some crazy, crazy stuff. And the women are going along with it. Both TPUSA and the World Manosphere stand together in denying women equality, but there's a catch. There is a catch today. Both of these organizations, TPUSA and the manosphere, wherever it lives, claim it is still a man's world, and a woman is better off in it when the man leads. However, they cannot take away the reality that women have choices today, we have legal rights today, and we have actions that we can take for ourselves. This is the clincher that none of these men understand. It is up to us how we live with the men in our lives. It's simple, right? It's choice. Okay, I'm Taylor Marsh.
