This will allow a much wider set of issues to be addressed. An impending discussion of the myths and expectations created in modern societies about what is male and masculine. It includes a critique of the problems faced by men in emulating the ideal and efforts to fake the masculine persona. This discussion forms the basis for analysing the way males are being channelled into new identities in modern societies that incorporate feminist prescriptions, social necessities, social chaos and male personal development in the context of existing cultural forms. In a number of societies there is periodically a discussion for the creation of a new model of male ideal.
Every society has male and female ideals.
Usually there are a number of ideals which are created through the actions of the media, parents and peer group pressure. This discussion considers the political and social imperatives that might be incorporated in male identity. Essentially it is an effort to include an intellectual basis for the progressive change of male identity. According to feminism women were oppressed and yet are making great strides toward liberation and social equality. As argued here, men have never been the overlord sex and so using the male as benchmark for normality is highly flawed.
