In the past, boys were taught how to become men, and girls were taught how to become wives.
Tribal societies understood something important: people can't succeed at roles they were never taught. Training and guidance were essential parts of growing up.
Today, that structure is gone.
Modern society expects women to know how to be wives without ever being shown how. Men are expected to act like men even if they grew up without a father or strong male role model. As a result, many people are lost and confused about their roles in relationships and life.
Some men today have lost touch with traditional masculinity.
They no longer take pride in being providers or protectors. Instead, some rely on women for financial support, emotional comfort, and even basic needs. They don’t want partners — they want mothers. They want to be cared for, driven around, and emotionally nurtured like children.
This shift is creating an imbalance.
While many men are becoming more passive and dependent, more women are stepping into traditionally masculine roles — becoming independent, career-focused, and taking charge. The traditional roles are reversing.
As this continues, we may see a larger cultural shift.
Men may continue to lose their sense of purpose and self-reliance, while women take on more responsibility. Some men may begin to resent this, feeling neglected or left behind. But the core issue remains: people are not being taught how to thrive in the roles they’re expected to fill
