Michael Tsarion is an author, researcher and public speaker. He is the author of Dragon Mother: A New Look at the Female Psyche. I interviewed Michael to discuss his research on psychoanalysis of the female psyche and the roots of feminism.
Michael Tsarion Interview ┃ On Female Psychology
Tsarion contradicts himself throughout the entire interview. He starts with his theory that a problem w/ today’s women is that they blindly honor their parents and they do not acknowledge/address the dysfunction/abuse inflicted upon them by their parents during childhood. He goes on to say that if a woman does not have a good relationship with their mother it should be viewed as a major red flag and that he would discourage men from pursuing a relationship w/ a woman who doesn’t have a good relationship with their mother... one would assume someone who views toxic/codependent mothers as the root of the issues plaguing adult women, that he would expect adult women to come to this realization and to distance and/or sever ties with her toxic mother…
He doesn’t clearly define what specific issues are problematic with female r psychology- therefore he is unable to provide solutions and he fails to offer any valuable advice for men of dating age as to how best navigate the complexities of modern dating/relationships.
I recognize that as women we have lost our way and society as suffered tremendously as a result. I agree with almost all of the mainstream grievances regarding “modern women”/feminism, and I always enjoy hearing new takes/analysis on this topic as it is beneficial in my own self reflection. With that said, Tsarion misses the mark, his “psychoanalysis” of women as a whole is just off.. when reading/listening to discussions on this subject I can usually identify with some of the personality flaws/shortcomings discussed- and if it doesn’t apply to me directly, I can usually think of friends/coworkers who it applies to; that was not the case at all with this interview. I have heard far more profound/insightful takes from the likes of Andrew Tate than what was presented by Michael Tsarion in this interview.
Great Podcast ! Thanks for the informative interview
