'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.
