Get the Flover mug.The Macho Paradigm© is the overall system of conditioning of masculine or male dominated culture, esp. here in the U.S. This is the system by which parents and society raise children, primarily boys by emphasizing macho stereotypes, expectations, behaviors, standards of emotional repression through the shaming of boys in particular that if they don't live up to these standards they are considered weak and inadequate. This is often done by a comparison to and , the condescension of femininity/female stereotypical behavior such as emotional, gentle, sensitive as the epitome of weakness. Anyone can be negatively affected by The Macho Paradigm© but most of all males are harmed by it's constant pressure it puts on them to live up to a stereotype of what a man is even if it causes pain on him or those around him. Things like chauvinism and misogyny as well as peer pressure could theoretically be traced back to The Macho Paradigm© as a root source of that programming that causes people to not only repress themselves to appear tough and cool but then to shame others into the same macho conformity. ©2014/DM
Examples of Peer Pressure Quips in the Macho Paradigm©:
'Man-Up' . 'Don't be a pussy' . 'He hits/throws like a girl'
Noun-The Macho Paradigm is the system we live in at the root of everything.
'The Macho Paradigm is one of the main causes in culture that drives men to put each other down when they are not tough or macho enough and sometimes even bully them'.
'Many boys feel like they can never measure up living in a culture influenced by The Macho Paradigm©'.

Get the Macho Paradigm mug.Instead of ‘Middle Age’ for folks 45-65 who are still viable and foxy…it can be ‘Middle Hot.’
In age terms, there are many ages to describe younger people: newborn, infant, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teenager, adolescent, juvenile, young adult (early 20’s) then jumps into adult for a little bit and nothing else for awhile until you are over 45. Then it jumps from adult to middle age to old without recognizing the minute changes and steps for people in this age bracket of which there are many.
There are so many hot & viable people in this age range who don’t feel the least bit old, just look at the actors and musicians in this age group? Still rocking! Yet the name ‘middle age’ makes one think of the ‘middle ages’, a dark time in European history or someone who is getting old and past their prime. Many ‘middle hot’ folks are just hitting their real prime if they’re healthy and living true to themselves! Middle hot also recognizes when someone is still hot, healthy and vibrant, living a vivacious life and yet is not young.

So we’re ‘middle hot’ now if it fits, not middle aged.

Robin Wright is a middle hot women married to a man who is also middle hot from France.
I no longer refer to myself as middle age, but middle hot. A nicer way to put that age bracket!
I’d rather be (or be with)a middle hot woman who knows herself than a young person still easily influenced by society!

Surthrival is moving past just surviving into thriving but not fully thriving yet and recognizes the baseline need to survive in an empowered way and yet embark on the process of thriving in the process.
I’m moving into a phase of Surthrival now and just signed up for an art class even though I’m still super busy working.
Allowing oneself to enjoy life even in the midst of a storm and under stress is part of being in a Surthrival state. It’s moving beyond just survival into thriving.

Just like with counter-culture, which is COUNTER to the mainstream, COUNTER to traditional most popular culture, COUNTER-SEXUAL becomes a similar word to describe anyone from that population when referring in GENERAL. When speaking in specifics then someone can still say, gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex etc....otherwise in general reference, it could be COUNTER-SEXUAL which is much more simple and to the point, more literal and less complicated, less controversial or uncomfortable, more neutral while still honoring the differences while trying to include all the different types of sexualities-which could end up using the entire alphabet!
Studies show that there are more counter-sexual characters in mainstream television shows since 2014.
The counter-sexual movement includes all types of sexualities that are not heterosexual.
