Alison Armstrong | 10 Things Women Don't Understand About Men: Unconscious Emasculation, The Language of Heroes + How To Get The Love You Want
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
I Love Living Well
"I'm committed to being happy. Most people want to be happy and they're chasing happiness," she says. "After Greg died, I didn't think I ever wanted to be in a relationship again." She's planning on being with her husband until he dies when he's 93.
What most human beings are saying is “we want a higher quality of life.” We want more intimacy, love, caring, and empowerment. We want to fulfill, not just survive. We want to thrive, accomplish, and contribute. Emasculation has always worked perfectly well - until we wanted a quality of life that makes it impossible. - Alison Armstrong

Power Quotes From The Show How Women See Men
"We need to change the point of view that men should be like women. You see being. Men see being. So can women and children. It’s the universal language. When women look at men, they see hairy misbehaving women. Women think that men should know the exact right thing to do but they’re doing something else and then women think they should be punished for it." - Alison Armstrong
Emasculation VS Higher Quality Of Life
"What most human beings are saying is “we want a higher quality of life.” We want more intimacy, love, caring, and empowerment. We want to fulfill, not just survive. We want to thrive, accomplish, and contribute. Emasculation has always worked perfectly well - until we wanted a quality of life that makes it impossible." - Alison Armstrong
Sexual Attraction As A Tool To Put Men Off Balance
"Sexual attraction can put a man off balance. When you have a strong physical response to someone, you’re not grounded anymore. And if you’re off balance, you can’t attack." - Alison Armstrong
