What was remarkable to me about what looks like a very seriously, professionally made video, is not named anywhere in the comment section. A little extra analysis might broaden the grin a bit further. First, notice the video is made solely by men, according to the bylines. This is important, as the video seems to criticize many "men-only" ventures of the past and stresses cooperation and creating wonderful things together with women. But not this video then. We'll start tomorrow! I think it's a missed chance to prove the apology was sincere.
When looking beyond the glowing talk of worship and equality, agree with it or not, laugh about it or not, it became clear one of the core ideas repeated here is that of
destructive actions or forces of some unconscious masculine psyche. It interests me not only because the video doesn't make any effort to explain what this masculine unconsciousness would be exactly, but more the notion that these words might indicate as red flags,
actual unconscious drives of the movie makers. Could it be, that these men, just don't realize what is being demonstrated so obviously by them?
Don't they realize that a bunch of men making an over-pretentious video, claiming to speak for half of the world, past and present, addressing a being generalized as "woman", representing the other how many billions, is really an example of what they would call the "masculine psyche"? This dumb generalization, this hubris approaching ambition, the perfect production values, with the intense drive to get the message through, that these all are
masculine energies with hardly any evidence of whatever it is they think is the feminine counterpart? Perhaps they would call it something like common sense, modesty and cooperation but the video shows nothing of it. In some ways there are verbally and mentally overpowering women
yet again with their giant phallus like apology!
What an amazing disregard for the essence of their own message, which I'm not sure if one should call it masculine stupidity or feminine self-deception. The video has become an amazing feat of displaying a certain depth of ignorance by
pretending the masculine 'idiocy', starting with the idiocy of the makers, as something that needs to be cured by some" feminine" influence which by the sound of it are the usual
projected qualities men so commonly attribute to the 'other' gender (compassion, community, sensitive to environment and body, more present, less goal orientated) while they are nothing but higher qualities of any conscious man in history.
Geesh, can't these people just
quit screwing around?
