Explain what you see in them that you wish to have. I will see if it is what I think it is.

You’re just a creepy fetishist

they have aesthetic qualities that are nowhere to be seen in real life, they can show their vulnerabilities and feminity and take advantage of that. As a man, i can't do that.

Then it is what I think it is. I understand that these things are seen as good in these times of unrestrained sentimentalism, but why would you wish to ever show yourself as vulnerable, prone to harm, feminine? It is unseemly. It means that you need someone to take care of you, that you are not sufficient to yourself, that you lack strength. You would lower yourself in that way. So snap out of it.

the thing is that i'm the opposite of it. I'm the person that takes care of others, sometimes too much.

Then you already have the greater good; why would you sacrifice it for a deficiency?
You say that you lack the good of being able to express vulnerabilities. Do you think that being able to, expected to show vulnerability (for this is what femininity is - if the feminine is that which must be taken care of, it is that which has to, by virtue of its place, be vulnerable - and, insofar, it must be lowered below human dignity) is good? You would be mistaken. As a man, I suppose you are attracted to vulnerability. I know that I am. Because this is the way that the masculine relates to the feminine. This relation lowers them both, but it lowers the feminine much more, forcing it to be lacking in all respects. I know that you see it as gentle, fragile and beautiful, because you feel that you must take care of something precious. But it is unclear to me why you would wish to become it. It is further from the truth, worse, than that which you already have, even though you see it as beautiful.

Look at this cat. Is it not adorable? But it is such for us because it is deficient, because it lacks strength, because it must be taken care of and, in that taking care of, we feel our own worth, our own strength. But, for this relation to be such, we must lack worth in ourselves, and the cat must lack strength. Both must be lowered, the passive part more than the active part because, even if the active part lacks worth in itself (that is, the feeling of worth and beauty), the passive part is always at the mercy of the other. The active part can change itself, the passive part lacks that option.

yes, read schopenhauer

sorry but i'm too philosophically educated to take Schopenhauer seriously.

i'm not sure if it's a joke but if it isn't what chapters do you recommend because my issue is a little too specific.

If you're serious, don't bother with any psyche authorities. They'll encourage you to cut your dick off and wear stockings. Do anything that prevents such thoughts from emerging. I would encourage you to lift weights, but I doubt you own any and I'm sure the gyms are closed. You can always start by doing pushups or just about any form of physical training. Books probably won't help you.

>>15523091
i do lift.

You should read the complete works of Ray Blanchard

>>15523103
Try, perhaps, Passions of the Soul of Descartes.
Or, if you can muster the effort (for the rewards are truly substantial), read Ethics of Spinoza.
