The Patriarch's Oath












"We're a Generation of Men Raised by Women - I'm wondering if another women is really The Answer We Need."

Tyler Durden,
CEO of The Paper Street Paper Co.  
1999



" Textbook Joseph Campbell.

The way Campbell explained it, young men need a Secondary Father to finish raising them.

Beyond their Biological Father, they need a surrogate, traditionally a minister or a coach or a military officer.

The floatsam and jetsam of a generation washed up on the beach of last resort.

That's why street gangs are so appealing. They send you men out, like Knights on Quests to hone their skills and improve themselves.

And all the TRADITIONAL Mentors -- forget it.

Men are presumptive predators. They're leaving Teaching in droves.

Religious Leaders are pariahs.

Sports Coaches are stigmatized as odds-on pedophiles.

Even The Military is sketchy with sexual goings-on.




A Generation of Apprentices Without Masters.
