A short excerpt from a Connor Beaton YouTube video advising men on how to support female partners by evoking emotions and occupying a stable masculine presence. It argues that women who lean into masculine behaviors often suppress emotion due to past conditioning, mistrust, or trauma, and that a partner's presence can encourage a return to a more feminine emotional space.
Evoke her emotions. Women who are more in their masculine have a whole slew of unconscious tools and responses that are meant to deflect away from their emotional body. Again, because that's been seen as weak. They've been told that that's dangerous to share with a man. They haven't seen an example of what that looks like growing up. They've been used or abused or betrayed because of those things. They just genuinely don't trust that a man can hear or understand what they're feeling emotionally. So part of what can do as you step out of this battle for the masculine seed as a relationship, is to occupy the masculine territory of presence and the presence to evoke her emotions out. So when you start to evoke emotions and you start to encourage expression within your partner, you are supporting them in moving back into this more feminine oriented space.
