About

The purpose of this blog is to publish the new ideas and ways of thinking that are needed to achieve gender liberation for everyone. In order to achieve this goal we need to realize the following:

  • Men and women have been constricted by their respective gender roles. While feminism has taught us about the horrors and trauma of being a woman, men’s authentic experience has yet to be voiced.
  • Feminism as a movement, needs to be replaced by a gender liberation movement that cares about women and men alike.
  • We need to stop blaming men for structures and gender roles that arose as a functional fit to historical circumstances, and instead get busy with creating healthier, freer and more integrated ways of being.
  • High quality science is a good thing. We are not at liberty to ignore findings about innate sex differences, simply because we also acknowledge and understand what research teaches us about cultural influences on gender roles.

This site welcomes men and women alike. All you need is a willingness to think outside the box, and an interest in exploring the future of gender dynamics.

Bio

Pelle is an M.D. and a professional teacher of Argentine tango, who writes and lectures about men’s issues and gender liberation beyond feminism. He believes that while equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for men and women is a good thing - we need a much broader approach to gender issues than feminism has brought us.

By looking at the pros and cons of both gender roles, instead of only focusing on the negatives of the female gender role, we get a fuller picture of gender issues - a picture that goes beyond feminism. We also need to acknowledge that gender roles are shaped by innate sex differences and cultural conditioning alike, so no amount of cultural reforms are likely to convince men and women to start behaving in the same way or live identical lives.

Since women’s issues have been explored extensively for the last few decades, society needs to turn the spotlight to men’s issues, in order to get the full picture. By having a more inclusive definition of gender equality, and by rejecting the onesidedness of feminism, men and women alike will be more able to grow into their authentic selves - and contribute in meaningful ways to society.
