Wrestler

'Moth Man' has been reported at wrestling events. This is a strange association compared to his spontaneous appearances in public seem to hold a purpose.The wrestlers who have encountered him are from Garage Pro Wrestling and Future Shock Wrestling, both in the UK. They have each reported similar.It was assumed he was a wrestler. Like the others. Someone with an alter ego, a character created for the purpose of their profession as a wrestler. To imbue either the hero or the villain. They believed 'his' appearance was a costume. Some wrestler even commenting on 'how realistic!'It was not until several bouts had transpired that the wrestlers became aware something was not natural about this 'wrestler'. At the culmination of the wrestling match, the half moth and half man, flapped his wings and then raised from the ground. The creature flew around his opponent and uttered repeatedly: "Fly to the light! Fly to the light!” The wrestlers mutually expressed everyone was stupefied with shock at this unexpected occurrence. The opponent was thrashed to the ground as this entity flew into them.

I am trying to understand the association of the wrestling purpose. Why does he turn up to such? It seems there is a demonstration of the male aggression of this 'creature' to prove dominance, not dissimilar to the origins of sports, such as wrestling, etc..This creature seems to embody something as in a reclamation of the male status to the iconic of the institutionalised in terms of gender politics. Men are commonly perceived as the strong and dominating gender while women tend to be viewed in terms of generations of discrimination and the ensuing need for special measures and positive actions. This perspective has been fundamental to the achievement of women’s liberation. At the same time it reflects a certain failure to understand men as a gender.

Men do not comprise a uniform group, nor is it possible to speak of a single male role. Masculinity is not always equivalent to power. Men lead many different types of lives and have many different interests. However, over the past decades there has been socio-economic deconstruction of the labour force, role reversal, where the male was the perceived bread winner, and where equality has brought forward positive changes, the role of the male is still in a condition of flux. There seems to be sense of the re-establishing of the masculine in this bizarre creature through its inexplicable manifestations.
