Inventing a New Paradigm: How Understanding Male Psychology can Foster Peace
I’ve been fervently engaged in refining and bringing to light my scholarly investigations centered around novel theories I’ve termed psychosocial racism, sexism, and misogyny, along with a framework I’ve devised known as the radicalization pipeline model. Over the past year, I’ve dedicated my efforts to ethnographic research in the Dominican Republic, exploring the ways in which male psychology evolves to perpetuate Modern Slavery and sustain oppressive cycles.
Being a woman, it is abundantly clear to me that patriarchal systems are maintained by men across all races, forming the bedrock of global human oppression. The query I aimed to unravel was, “What motivates men to steadfastly uphold patriarchy, even when it inflicts harm upon them?” Furthermore, I reflected on why men continue to endorse and partake in detrimental power structures, even in instances where they gain nothing from it.
I began to postulate that the roots of this phenomenon could be traced back to male insecurity, the desire for acceptance, and bonds formed in homosocial contexts. Yet, this didn’t fully answer the question of how men so readily become indoctrinated and manipulated into accepting harmful and maladaptive evolutionary biases that provide them with no tangible benefits in today’s world and how some women despite feeling the shackles of oppression support patriarchy.
My initial intrigue with male psychology stemmed from my time in the Marine Corps. When I enlisted in 2007, the Corps was overwhelmingly male-dominated, with a composition of 96% men and a mere 4% women. Considering the United States operates around 800 military and intelligence bases globally, female Marines constitute an exceedingly tiny fraction at most Marine Corps bases where they serve.
My personal journey, which has been marked by adversity and trauma during my tenure in the Marine Corps, has deeply shaped my perspectives and motivations. As a victim of child exploitation and brutal treatment, I was faced with the stark and disheartening reality of egregious acts committed by individuals who seemingly shared similar cultural and religious values to my own. This experience, coupled with the fact that these aggressors were predominantly men from southern states, led me to grapple with questions that penetrated the core of my beliefs.
Confronted by such inhumanity within my own ranks on American soil, I found myself in a war that no child should ever have to endure. The profound harm inflicted upon me resulted in long-lasting nerve and genetic damage, the effects of which have only intensified over the past two decades. This unfortunate reality prompted me to delve into understanding male psychology.
In seeking answers, I found myself drawn to investigating the potential correlation between the high concentration of males in the Marine Corps and the severity of the issue at hand. This led me to formulate hypotheses about male psychology, radicalization, and homosocial bonds. My central conjecture revolved around the idea that male-dominated environments engender a culture of violence, utilized to establish and maintain power within a hierarchical structure. Essentially, I was unknowingly defining patriarchy, a concept that would later become clear to me as my understanding evolved.
A decade later, I spearheaded the Military Sexual Trauma Movement (MSTM), in which I closely monitored online communities of male Marines. During this time, I documented their behaviors and started to uncover a troubling and disturbing pattern. I discovered that young, vulnerable, and insecure men and boys within the military were being systematically drawn into white supremacist groups. Interestingly, these groups started off as collectives that illicitly gathered and distributed explicit photos of female Marines — a disturbing reality that echoed my own experiences as a 17-year-old in the military.
I commenced a comprehensive documentation of these groups and their main actors. Throughout this exploration, I formulated the Radicalization Pipeline Model. This model, grounded in my early observations and experiences, served as the analytical framework I would use to put my theories to the test.
Roughly a year ago I left the United States out of deep frustration with the federal government over their denial to give me nerve treatments for the damage they caused and made worse. I decided to file complaints with the United Nations that entailed the human rights abuses I endured — as well as my findings on how the human rights abuses I endured — were tied to white supremacist circles in the Military. I decided to raise my findings of a systemic genocide happening to Latin and Caribbean American women and LGBTQIA service members. When I arrived in Punta Cana, I was horrified by American tourists purchasing Dominican, Haitian and Venezuelan teen girls for sex. This enraged me, and at that moment, I realized I had to document their suffering. That’s what mobilized me to begin researching my theories and using my model as a framework for my analysis.
Ironically, Punta Cana is founded on modern slavery that was reintroduced by none other than the U.S. Marine Corps in the early 1900s. The USMC left a legacy that lasts today and contributed to the destabilization of Haiti. As I began conducting research, it became evident to me that the Marine Corps organizational psychology was directly linked to male psychology and the radicalization pipeline.
In my newly published book, “The Pathway Toward Peace: U.S. Human Rights Manifesto” I deep dive in to how male insecurity and desire for bonding evolves into domestic terrorism, modern slavery, gender violence, gun violence, mass violence and hate crimes. I also discuss tangible solutions that can prevent the radicalization pipeline from existing. Leading us to a safer society. American society often ignores the fact that women have historically been the best peacekeepers. Our voices matter because we hold the biggest stake and have the most to gain from peacekeeping.
According to research when women create policies to reduce harm and conflict our policies last on average of fifteen to twenty years before the policies need modification whereas when men formulate peace treaties they last only two years before breaking down into conflict. By listening to women and providing men with therapeutic resources that fit into a “masculine identity” we can dismantle white supremacy patriarchy and finally move towards peace.
Upon finalizing my research and publishing it, I began inventing financial technologies to help propel America towards peace much faster. I am currently fundraising to develop my advanced financial technologies so I can bring them to market to end human suffering and create the pathway towards peace. I hope you join me on this journey!
