The War on 'Manly Men'
Front Page Magazine ^ | Thu Dec 17, 2020 | Mark Tapson

Amid all the election mayhem and politicized coronavirus hysteria of the past several months, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the cultural realm, not the political arena, is where the deeper threat to our freedoms and civilization lies, because the culture is where hearts and minds are won or lost. The Left has always known this, but the Right tends to obsess over the political and scorn the cultural as trivial and unserious. If we never grasp how critical it is to engage the Left on that front, we will lose the Long Game. Let’s look at a couple of recent examples of one aspect of the Marxist assault on our culture in which the Left is gaining ground – their agenda to subvert our traditional norms of masculinity.

After what was widely touted in the media as a “history-making” appearance, Vanderbilt University female soccer player-turned-football kicker Sarah Fuller was recently named Special Teams Player of the Week by the Southeastern college football conference (SEC), along with Florida University player Kadarius Toney.

What did Fuller do to earn this honor? She “[t]ook the opening kickoff of the second half against the Tigers, as her perfectly-executed kick sailed 30 yards and was downed at the Missouri 35-yard line,” the SEC crowed in explanation.

That’s it. She was on the field for one play – not for a high-pressure, game-clinching field goal, but for a low, line drive of a kickoff that “sailed” a mere 30 yards. In all fairness, this kick was intended to be short in order to prevent a runback, but apparently, as a soccer goalie, longer kicks aren’t her strong suit: “[The short kickoff] was designed for her because that’s what she’s used to striking,” the head coach...

It’s only on Manly White Men. Blacks can be as manly as they want.

Problem is way too many blacks think that means being incredibly violent.

I saw thousands of manly men at President Trump’s rallies. In fact liberals have underestimated the force that are backing him up.

If the street gangs, every last gang banger of every race actually, suddenly dropped dead one morning the lives of many, many Americans would greatly improve.

Especially if any wanna be replacements also had a habit of just dying with no witnesses....

"In all fairness, this kick was intended to be short"

So the coach told her to go for the uprights, knowing it would only go 30 yards.

Women who’ve lacked healthy relationships with men cannot distinguish between tyranny and competence; they see all strong men as inherently bad/violent.
But weak is not virtue, and there’s no virtue in being a victim. Nor can weak people protect you from violence or danger. We need to raise strong, good men who can harness that inner monster we all have to fight evil and protect us from danger.

Look at older tv shows and movies where the guys are tough. The guys today are soft looking.

Director Howard Hawks: Most of the leading men today, the younger men especially, are a little bit effeminate. There’s no toughness. [Steve McQueen] and [Clint Eastwood] don’t compare with [John Wayne].

Imagine what he would say about today’s actors!!

I don't know if it's a war on manly men as much as it is segments of the population publicly saying they're quitters. They've retreated from reality and lash out at anyone who behaves as a normal human.

It's not just manly men they lash out at, it's also feminine women.

I suppose you believed that your drivel had anything to do with the topic?

It had to do with the comment that too many black men think violence is manly.

Those will ultimately be the ones who dominate the gangs. But it isn’t just black gang members who have such attitudes as it would seem to be common among all gang bangers of any race. Thus I included them in the need to drop dead category too.

So, yeah, it had something to do with what someone had posted.

You may want to appoint yourself some sort of Thread Cop, but I don’t care. It’s not my job too care either.

The war on men and on women and on children, is rooted in a:

- debauched
- degenerate
- depraved
- perverted
- sociopathic

JUDICIARY.

The topic of the thread is traditional manliness.

Nothing whatsoever to do with gang bangers or violence.

I don’t consider myself as a “thread cop”, but I have no problem pointing out a post that is ridiculous and adds nothing to the conversation.

You’re two for two.
