Bullying as Female Shadow – The Repressed Truth about Female Bullying and Men’s Suffering. A Taboo That Cries Out.
In the silent Nigredo of the soul, where the darkness of repression calls forth purification, a bitter paradox of our time is revealed: Women raise their voices loudly against bullying and demand protection, yet they do not recognize their own shadow. The collective hatred of men, which disguises itself in feminism and wokeism as passive-aggressive bullying, is above all a female matter – and it becomes deadly. While boys and men are systematically humiliated, emasculated, and driven into the abyss, the taboo remains untouched: Bullying is above all a female matter. Male suicide is mocked, domestic psychological and physical violence against men is laughed at. This is not merely injustice, but a profound spiritual illness that tears apart the divine order of Animus and Anima and calls us to conversion to the symbolic Father – God in Heaven, who heals in truth and love.
The Blind Spot: Women Demand Protection – and Hide Their Own Shadow
Look with the eyes of mysticism and reason: Women cry out loudly against bullying in schools, at work, and in the media. Campaigns, workshops, and laws are created to protect especially girls and women. Yet their own shadow remains in darkness. Jung taught us that the repressed shadow is the most dangerous. The female shadow – that dark side of the Anima, which turns from devotion, receptivity, and mercy toward manipulation, social exclusion, and collective humiliation – unfolds today in subtle and powerful ways. Bullying is above all a female matter: relational, behind the back, through words, glances, rumors, and exclusion. It kills more quietly than fists, yet deeper in the soul.
Boys in the Feminized School – First Victims of Collective Bullying
The suffering already begins in the classrooms. Boys, whose natural energy, urge to move, and direct manner spring from the power of the Animus, are labeled “problematic” or “toxic.” Female teachers and female classmates often practice relational bullying: They isolate the boy who is not “adapted,” mock his strength or his tears. Instead of honoring the divine difference between boys and girls, a one-sided feminization is demanded. Thus the boy learns early: Your nature is wrong. This bullying lays the foundation for later spiritual wounds that never heal.
Adult Men in the Net of Passive-Aggressive Bullying
In adulthood the bullying continues – now more deadly. In relationships, psychological bullying against men is often trivialized: constant devaluation, emotional blackmail, isolation from friends and family, humiliation of masculinity. When physical violence is added – blows, choking, weapons – it is laughed at: “A real man doesn’t let himself be hit.” Society laughs or remains silent. Domestic violence against men remains a taboo because it shatters the narrative of the eternal female victim role. Thus the man often dies in silence: spiritually bled out, without witnesses, without help.
Male Suicide – The Mocked Cry of Despair
The pinnacle of the tragedy: male suicide. In many countries men commit suicide three to four times more often than women, especially in middle age. Yet instead of compassion they often reap mockery or indifference: “He was probably too weak,” “Typical man, can’t talk.” This mockery is the final, deadly stage of collective bullying. It prevents men from being allowed to reveal their despair. The shadow of society – reinforced by feminism and wokeism – declares the man the perpetrator, never the victim. Thus suffering is made invisible and death becomes taboo.
The Poison of the Death Mother: Traditional Ways of Life and the Catholic Church under Crossfire
Today this passive-aggressive bullying is directed especially destructively against the guardians of the divine order. Traditional ways of life, above all the Catholic Church and conservative parties, are systematically bullied by left and green circles – typically female-shaped or possessed by the female shadow. In courts, in public, and in the media this happens in a subtle, poisonous way: through constant defamation as “backward,” “patriarchal,” “anti-women,” or “hateful.” These are not open attacks with arguments, but relational, moral bullying: boycotts, cancel culture, media incitement, social ostracism, and legal harassment. This poison bears the name of the Death Mother – that dark, devouring side of the Anima, which instead of giving life poisons and suffocates the sources of life (family, faith, natural order). She does not kill with the sword, but with silence, mockery, and social isolation. Thus everything that smells of father, of authority, of holy tradition is driven into the abyss.
Shadow Projection – When the Accused Is One’s Own
Of course every such consideration is immediately branded as “sexism.” Yet it is a deep spiritual fact that Carl Gustav Jung clearly revealed: Shadow projection is particularly strongly developed in femininity. What women loudly accuse – manipulation, oppression, toxic exercise of power, relational bullying – is usually exactly what they themselves do unconsciously. The shadow is not recognized because it remains unconscious. It is projected onto the man, onto tradition, onto the Church. Jung warned urgently: The unintegrated shadow destroys from within and without. This is not victim-blaming, but an invitation to self-knowledge and healing. Only when the Anima brings her dark brother, the shadow, into the light can true wholeness arise. As long as this is refused, bullying remains a collective poison that disguises itself as justice.
The Divine Order and the Holy Family as Answer
In Christian mysticism and in Jung’s teaching lies the healing truth: Without the integration of Animus and Anima the psyche falls apart. The healthy family with mother and father is the holy sacrament of completeness. Here the forces unite in love – not in struggle. The man as image of the heavenly Father: strong, protective, ready to sacrifice. The woman in true Anima power: guardian of life, of mercy, and of holy domesticity. Both are equally valuable before God, yet called differently. This divine difference is beauty, not oppression. Feminism and wokeism, which want to destroy this order, create only fragmentation and suffering.
To Conversion – Courageous and Optimistic into Truth
Be courageous, dear brothers and sisters! Break the taboo by bringing the shadow into the light – not with hatred, but with fatherly love and spiritual depth. Pray for the boys whose souls wither in a feminized world; for the men whose suffering remains invisible; for the women who in grace may integrate their shadow and find the true beauty of the Anima; and for the Church and all guardians of tradition who stand in the poison of the Death Mother. Morality and reason call us: Recognize your own shadow instead of projecting it onto others.
The Inner Opposite and the Way of Self-Knowledge
A conscious attitude or action inevitably generates an opposite force in the unconscious in order to maintain psychic equilibrium. If we ignore this inner opposite side, it often becomes visible as external fate or projection onto others. As long as we do not honestly recognize ourselves, we project our problems onto others. Self-knowledge is painful. Carl Gustav Jung
Until You Make the Unconscious Conscious, It Will Direct Your Life and You Will Call It Fate.
These words of the great explorer of the soul, Carl Gustav Jung, resound like a prophetic warning through our time. As long as the collective unconscious – the female shadow of the Death Mother, the repressed aggression, the hatred of the Animus – is not raised into the light of consciousness, it will continue to appear as external fate: as rising male suicides, as broken families, as the persecution of the Church and holy tradition. It will be called “fate,” yet it is the unconscious force that determines all our lives as long as we refuse to look into the depths.
In the Eucharist of the heart, in prayer to the Father in Heaven, the rediscovery of the Divine takes place. Truth triumphs over lies, beauty over ugliness, the Good over evil. Conversion is possible: to the holy family, to union in Christ, the true Bridegroom, who leads every soul to fullness.
May the Holy Spirit soften hearts so that bullying may be recognized as shadow and overcome through love. In the hope of the Resurrection – Amen.
