Why American Men Are Failing
The Trumpet ^ | June 2018 | Stephen Flurry

Posted on 08/04/2019 4:27:47 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

“American men are failing in body, in mind and in spirit. This is a crisis..." ~ Tucker Carlson

Young women are surpassing men in virtually every area of life. Girls avoid drugs more than boys, play less video games, get better grades, perform better on iq tests, and attend prestigious colleges at a higher rate than boys. The average American woman is likely to live five years longer than the average American man. Men are twice as likely to die of drug overdoses and more than twice as likely to be addicted to alcohol. More than 90 percent of people in jail are men.

Men account for more than three quarters of all suicides in the U.S., and the frequency is increasing. Suicides among middle-aged American men rose 43 percent between 1997 and 2014.

Today, one in every five American children is raised by a single mother—double the rate in 1970. Millions of American children are growing up without fathers.

Chronic, widespread fatherlessnessis leading to huge societal problems. Out of the 27 deadliest mass shooters in U.S. history, 26—including Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz—share one thing in common: They all grew up in households without their biological fathers!

Systemic lawlessness, crime, immorality, dangerous leaders and young men who grow up to be school shooters result from the lack of true biblical masculinity.

And the “progressives” demand more. Men are not just irrelevant, they say, men are toxic. Down with patriarchy! Down with traditional family! Down with men! It’s time for women to rise!

This is exactly the dangerous, upside-down condition that the Bible prophesied...

This is a crisis! Pretending it is not a crisis won’t make it go away. Pretending that it is progress won’t make it go away.

Without strong male leadership, our society cannot survive.

Feminism and ‘no fault’ divorce have changed the male/female dynamic, maybe to the destruction of western cultures.
Why work yourself to death devoted to a family that can be taken from you at a whim?
Feminists have stolen the motivation for men to excel, why bother.
Women have motivated men to be indifferent...

...and bury themselves in student loan debt for degrees that qualify them to be baristas at a higher rate than boys.

We started disposing of the extended family in favor of the smaller and more mobile mom-dad-kids model after the war. We promptly ended up with the 1960’s. Coincidence? I dont think so.

” There’s no shame in being masculine, strong, dependable, honorable, and protective.”
There is also very little upside to those things in our current society.

LOL!

We’re also larger, and less risk averse.
I’m 6’2” 220, but I exercise often. How many chicks are my size? I know plenty dudes.

And what’s wrong with video games?
It’s also a multi-billion dollar industry.

"We do have a frontier, but for some reason we completely lost interest in it 45 years ago."

The "some reason" was because the left figured out about that time that as long as America had a "frontier" that it would always be unassailable in leadership of the world, and started a propaganda campaign to destroy the space program...and almost succeeded. Fortunately, private parties (SpaceX and others) have resurrected it, and in process are forcing NASA to live up to some of their original mission. Will it be enough.............???

For a socialist or communist government to gain full control of it’s people they have to eradicate or suppress two things, the church and the traditional family. Socialism can only work when people look to the government first, last, and always for all their needs. An independent free thinking people will never allow a government the degree of control of their lives that socialism requires. Notice the suppression of religion in China and the former soviet union, the state can’t have it’s people have an allegiance to a higher authority than itself. Look also at the church in europe, it’s rapidly disappearing and churches are more museums than actual places of worship now. The traditional family is the next thing that has to be suppressed, men that have traditional families will fight for them and work to ensure their well being which is at odds with the goals of a socialist regime. They can’t have people standing up to the state so they encourage unwed motherhood and easy divorce with generous welfare benefits to support single mothers, they don’t want women with children reliant upon husbands, they want them reliant upon the state. Someone reliant upon the state for their survival is compliant, they’re not going to bite the hand that feeds them and their children. The marginalization of responsible men is how socialists do that. They don’t want strong men, strong men are a threat to the socialist order. Traditional families are a threat to it, organized religion is a threat. Anything that subverts the masses loyalty to the state is a threat.

God, Family, Country are our three great loyalties in that order, at least they should be in a moral society. To impose socialism you have to move country from third place to first by undermining the other two. The marginalization of men in a society is how you undermine the loyalty to family that is required for socialism.

Sons are emasculated by single mothers who regard them as little more than a nuisance and a ticket to a welfare check.

Boyfriends are ok but husbands are to be avoided, because men are nothing more than meat dildos or sperm donors to be discarded after they’ve served their purpose.

Any expressed desire to stick around and provide for their children is regarded as toxic masculinity.

Yes sir!
It’s easier to find a woman that hates your guts.
Buy her a house.
Give her half your pay for the next 20 years.
Think of all the lawyer fees you’re goña save.

Intact families including a Dad who is present have an advantage they dont even realize.

When taking sons camping or fishing, if they’d only invite that lonely boy in class without a dad to come along & share the fun, it could change that kid’s whole life.

I was a fatherless kid with a troubled mom myself, always inviting myself over to other kids’ houses.
The fact that their parents never kicked me out is what saved me.
