Men's Aggressive Energies: To Build or Destroy
Men's willingness to provide by paying for dinner is tied to their masculine characteristic of demonstrating a willingness to provide. When men are stripped of their traditional roles and responsibilities, they can become toxic by misdirecting their aggressive energies. The book 'Men in Marriage' by George Gilder explores this concept, suggesting that men, when not actively contributing to building a family, can either create or destroy. If men are not guided towards protecting and providing for their families, their aggressive instincts might lead them down destructive paths, becoming the wrong kind of men. The choice then lies in whether men will channel their energies positively towards constructive endeavors or destructively into negative behaviors like superficial masculinity and criminal activities.
