maturation = развитие

It is starting to seem as though understanding Woman is a kind of baked in starting point for facing some pretty difficult existential questions for Man. It’s a narrow path that few take. It’s MGTOWish. But it’s more than that. Letting go of women, at least as a source of dependency, as a result of *seeing* them for what they are, makes men face up to the empty void of purposelessness. It’s scary. One wants to run back to the safety of the slavery we knew. But it does resemble the beginning of a path, a kind of spiritual awakening. Or, at the very least, a kind of maturation.
