Two conflicting strains of contemporary obsession collided fatally in Parkland, Florida, two weeks ago, when an unstable teenage boy brought a rifle to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students. The first is guns and what, if anything, should be done about them in a country whose constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. The second is the concept of “toxic masculinity,” the current bugbear of the female social-justice warriors whose brand of “feminism” is essentially misandry writ large. It’s an appalling combination of fear, ignorance, misapplied compassion, prescription drugs, and social mores—and a clear and present danger to American society that we must sort out, fast.
Don’t kid yourselves: by “toxic masculinity,” the latter-day incarnations of the Greek Furies and the Thracian women mean simply, “maleness.” Like all cultural Marxists, the modern feminists have applied the tenets of Critical Theory to the War Between the (Two) Sexes, and have found the male sex wanting in every particular, the force behind every social ill they perceive. Men are responsible for all that afflicts them: their workplace environment, their chances in the dating pool, their economic fortunes; thanks to their uncontrollable concupiscence, men even burden them with children. Every masculine trait, therefore, must be ameliorated by medication or surgery, such as rambunctiousness in young boys; every sign of virility, including strength, courage, and the martial spirit must be stamped out in order to “protect” women. That such a social policy would also mean the end of inventions, infrastructure, heavy lifting, rockets to the moon, and the Golden Gate Bridge never seems to occur to them: men
And what is more masculine than a firearm?

Feminism is cancer.
How can they talk about masculinism when they believe there is no binary male/female? The liberal “mind” can believe that there is no sex, but millions of genders along a continuum. It then talks about males as the enemy. Can’t have it both ways. Binary or continuum. Pick one.
Writing in the introduction to her seminal work, Sexual Personae, Camille Paglia famously observed: “If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts.”
Given most of the millennial men I see on the street, the word masculine doesn’t come to mind.
Best laugh line ever.
We are certainly in the era where sons are against fathers, wives against husbands, women against men, etc. There is a clear warning of this condition. Oh, it’s in Sacred Scripture.
“Real men not only don’t eat quiche...”
The hell you say. Quiche often has bacon, and everyone knows real men love bacon and bacon-accessories.
I hear thundering hooves off in the distance, prepare to tangle with the resident FReminists, lol.
I agree, and it has done a disservice to both genders. And all the genders in between. (/s)
I don’t eat quiche, but I enjoy this impossible egg pie with bacon...

That’s basically a crustless quiche, dude. I guess “egg pie” makes it easier to market to Americans.
As Foghorn Leghorn would say, “It’s a joke, son.”
Yes, it is.
You uppity women I don’t understand
Why you gotta go and try to act like a man,
But before you make your weekly visit to the shrink
You’d better occupy the kitchen, liberate the sink...

Great article.
These may be non-sequiturs, but I have to comment before reading thoroughly.
a) Has anyone noted how screwy this Cruz’ eyes are? He apparently has some kind of defect indicated by eye placement. It’s borderline retardation but not quite that.
b) The problem we have is CHARACTER. We have thrown out all morals so have poor character, which leads to all this amoral viciousness. Yet NO ONE will discuss this. Can’t stop having all the hedonism we want!
