Gender roles = unhappiness

People who are starved of affection and attention will tend to do very strange things! It's as if they have unfulfilled business relating back to their childhood and adolescence. In actual fact, the very training and conditioning that children undergo in early life in order to make them think in terms of gender roles end up starving the whole personality.

The human personality craves largesse. It wants to be recognised as a whole and not as certain parts of a whole. If a person is only ever rewarded or acknowledged for their feminine traits, the rest of their personality will feel starved, leading to acting out and other strange manifestations of neurosis.

Gender roles do not respect the human being as a whole, leading to hunger and a sense of being unfulfilled. Men who experience this believe that "feminism" is to blame, when traditional gender roles are to blame. They imagine that if they become Caligulas or Cassanovas, they can manage to fill the empty void in their psyches. Women think that they just need male attention -- enough male attention -- and the empty void will be filled. In actual fact, these men and women are only getting themselves deeper into the abyss.
