One of the primary reasons why Donald Trump is in the White House today is because he didn’t act like a typical wimpy politician during the campaign.
The American people were hungry for someone who is strong, someone who is a fighter and someone who will stand up for what he believes. In other words, they wanted a man and not a wimp. Yes, Donald Trump has done and said some things that are very regrettable over the years, but many Americans were willing to overlook those imperfections because at least he was willing to go to battle. Now that he is president, will he inspire millions of other men to finally start acting like men again?
Too many men today would rather go to the spa than pick up a shovel.
Too many men today speak of the need for “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings”.
Too many men today are living in a state of suspended adolescence and are putting off marriage and family indefinitely.
Too many men today are more likely to be called a “snowflake” rather than a “warrior”.
In an absolutely remarkable article that was published earlier this week, author Todd Starnes made some keen observations about modern “men”. The following is a short excerpt…
In today’s reengineered version of manhood, guys no longer have friends – they have bromances and they settle disputes by hugging it out.
Men’s magazines are now filled with articles like, “Should a Man Show Nipple?” and “What Men Know about Wearing Eyeliner.”
In America today, boys generally don’t do as well as girls in school. And young women are far more likely to go to college than young men. In fact, we have almost gotten to the point where 60 percent of the students in our colleges are women.
And when they leave school, young men are far more likely to move back in with their parents than young women are. In a previous article, I noted that the percentage of Americans in the 18 to 34-year-old age bracket that are living with their parents is now the highest that it has been in 75 years. If young men were living independently at the same rate that young women are, this crisis wouldn’t even exist.
And the truth is that young women are looking for young men that are willing to be independent. A few years ago, Todd Starnes “conducted an unscientific poll to determine what the average American woman looks for in a man”, and this is what he discovered…
1. Has a job;
2. Drives a pickup truck;
3. Uses the bathroom standing up;
4. Eats meat;
5. And is willing to carry them out of a burning building.
In other words — they want the kind of man made in God’s image — not the image of some effeminate intellectual stuffed in skinny jeans sipping chai tea with his pinky finger extended.
And a more scientific survey that was conducted a few years ago found that 75 percent of all American women do not have any interest in dating unemployed men.
Women want men that will love them, protect them and provide for them.
Unfortunately, those kinds of men are being systematically demonized in our society today. To the liberal mind, the “traditional man” has come to represent “male oppression” that must be eradicated at all cost.
This may sound strange to you, but this is the kind of philosophy that is being pounded into the minds of impressionable young adults at colleges and universities all across the nation. And some of these impressionable young adults buy into this philosophy to a frightening degree.
For example, one very prominent feminist blogger has actually called for the eradication of all men…
A controversial video blogger has suffered a social media backlash after a video of her suggesting that the male species be wiped out – including babies – re-surfaced.
US vlogger Jenny McDermott, 33, made the bizarre ‘kill all men’ content in July last year and posted it on her YouTube channel.
The 33-year-old, who’s Twitter bio describes her as a secular humanist and trans loving feminist, rants in the short video that she’s ‘sick of being a baby factory that produces more men, that in the future will subjugate me.’
Someone might want to tell her that the human race would cease to exist without men, because apparently she hasn’t thought that far ahead.
But while McDermott may be on the outer fringe, the truth is that she is just a very small part of a very powerful “anti-male” movement in this country.
If you can believe it, at this point even some divinity schools are telling their professors not to use male pronouns for God…
Two prominent divinity schools have instructed their professors to use gender-neutral language when referring to God.
According to National Review, the divinity schools at Duke and Vanderbilt Universities have told their faculty to give “consistent attention to the use of inclusive language, especially in relation to the Divine,” in an effort to be more “inclusive” and to “mitigate sexism.”
Of course if men want to be respected, they need to start acting like gentlemen instead of like deranged animals.
I often quote from two different surveys when I talk about the state of men in our country. One of those surveys found that 64 percent of all Christian men in America watch pornography at least once a month, and another survey found that 68 percent of all Christian men in America look at it “on a regular basis”.
That is not how men are supposed to behave.
A gentleman is self-controlled, patient, strong, temperate and willing to make sacrifices for others.
But how many men could be described that way today?
In the old days, men dedicated themselves to God, family and country, but today many men appear to be self-obsessed narcissists that are constantly chasing whatever they think will make them feel good in the moment.
If we want to make America great again, then men (and women) need to start dedicating themselves to becoming great again on an individual level.
So ultimately the fate of this nation is not going to be determined by any politician.
Rather, the fate of this nation is going to be decided by what goes on inside our own hearts.
A larger problem is the increasing number of men who have given up on trying to form a relationship with feminist indoctrinated women. IF they do hook up and wed, (a wedding is usually not an option taken)they may have only one or possibly two children before they divorce leaving children confused as to whether or not this is the norm and is expected of their adult behavior.
There are few true fathers who play the role in their families that they should. They want to be their kids' friend.
In some cases. But judging by the “men” attending the pile of manure on Saturday, a lot will remain little puffy snowflakes.
Many of American men should be wearing the pussy caps the feminist Nazis are sporting.
Sadly, many of our young men are influenced by television shows and movies, 50% of which depict men as lovers of other men in a society where 2-3% are actually gay. The are normalizing and influencing our youth to be sick perverts.
Yeah, but you better not “normalize” the Trump administration. That would be hitleresque. Or something.
During the halfrican era, MEN didn’t stop acting like men.
When people complaining about men not getting married change the lopsided laws favoring women, and stop trying to shame men for not participating in a crooked system, then maybe more guys will get into relationships.
Until then THEY can get married to this hell spawn.
We can take our rightful place in this country but we’re going to have to marry these women first.
No deal there.
Too many guys are suffering from fake rape accusations, absurd expectations from supposed independent women, have virtually no parental rights, no-fault divorce rape, antique alimony laws, and a crooked family court system.
There are even men being named as dads to kids that they have no genetic connection to because their wives cheated on them and never told them. And that is in supposedly conservative states!
When the right stop kissing female’s rears as hard as the left, then men will come back.
No man ought to just suck it up and get destroyed because of a vague promise that this will change if they do.
Many of us never stopped.
On the positive side, such “men” will quickly die-out in the real world, eliminating or greatly reducing the problem.
You may be a snowflake if ________________________
I’ve been acting that way my whole life, and it’s worked out well for me and my wife.
“In America today, boys generally don’t do as well as girls in school.”
Long rant ahead:
Herein lies the problem. I live in FL. To get into the University of Florida these days one needs a minimum GPA of 4.25, meaning one has taken several honors level classes.
My oldest is a high school freshman. He went to a nice, Christian private middle school and 16 of the kids, 8 boys and 8 girls, went on to the same nice, Christian private high school.
All 8 girls are in honors classes for everything - math, science, English, and history. Not one single boy - out of 8 - was put in one single honors class. They pretty much have no chance to go to our “flagship” state university.
I look at the children of my circle of friends and acquaintances and I see girls by the dozens going off to UF and FSU, while the boys go to second and third tier state schools or, more likely than not, the local community college. I do not know one single boy who has gone off to UF or FSU in the past 5 years out of my friends, acquaintances, or neighbors.
Big Joe was da man! Smart, too.
LOL! Puffy men USE dusters. Careful not to get that manbun caught in the ceiling fan.
I’d look funny wearing that to work. I’d look even funnier if I wore that on the sailboat.
I have been known to crawl under a desk with my suit on if necessary.
I'm an engineer who has worked in managerial roles for more than a decade, and I would take a typical engineering student from a decent state university over a Stanford or MIT grad any day of the week.
I’ve worn it in New York City and have had homeless people walk down a subway platform asking everyone on the platform for money — except me. LOL.
