For centuries, men built and defended Western civilization -- from its farms and cities to its laws, its art, and its moral order. But in just a few generations, that foundation has been shaken. Masculinity, once honored as the engine of strength, protection, and leadership, is now treated as a social problem. The very qualities that sustained families, communities, and nations are being redefined as “toxic.” Today, masculinity itself is treated as something to be “reformed” or “re-educated.”
What happened? How did the very qualities that built the modern world become objects of suspicion and ridicule?
The truth is simpler: Western civilization depends on men and masculinity -- and it cannot survive without them.
The Quiet War on Manhood
Since the mid-20th century, Western culture has undergone an ideological shift that redefined traditional masculinity as something outdated, even dangerous. The cultural shifts of the 1960s promised liberation but gradually replaced personal responsibility and family order with self-gratification and state dependence. Where strong families once formed the backbone of the West, an alliance of ideological radicalism and excessive consumerism has turned both men and women into disconnected individuals -- easier to manipulate, easier to control.
This erosion of masculine identity didn’t happen by accident. It was shaped through decades of social conditioning that cast male authority as oppressive, fatherhood as optional, and discipline as cruelty. In recent years, even government agencies have launched programs to ‘redefine’ masculinity, echoing language once confined to activist circles. The result is a culture where men are encouraged to suppress their natural instincts -- their drive to lead, protect, and provide -- in favor of emotional conformity. The modern man is expected to apologize for being male.

In cultural marxism white men are the oppressors. The left repeats it so much that they begin to believe it. In reality it is the marxists who are manipulative, violent and oppressive.
Repeal the 19th ...
Camille Paglia had a great column in Time a while back along the same lines: https://ideas.time.com/2013/12/16/its-a-mans-world-and-it-always-will-be/
A quote from the article: “History must be seen clearly and fairly: obstructive traditions arose not from men’s hatred or enslavement of women but from the natural division of labor that had developed over thousands of years during the agrarian period and that once immensely benefited and protected women, permitting them to remain at the hearth to care for helpless infants and children. Over the past century, it was labor-saving devices invented by men and spread by capitalism, that liberated women from daily drudgery.”
Because Western civilization is threatened by civilizations powered by masculine men, who are stronger and more aggressive than women.
Civilization depends on civilized individuals.
Wait....What????
Is this saying that the great, wonderful, highly-intelligent AWFULs (Affluent, White, Female, Urban Leftists (lunatics, for short) are not gonna save century-old civilizations from the cruel, dumb, abusive neanderthals???? Say it ain’t so!!!! /s
Evidently they fear white men.
”Not you, Dougie.”
If women truly want to be equal, make them sign up for the draft. If they want to forego that, they lose their right to vote.
Equal is equal, right?
I guess they are preparing for war.
The only ones who define masculinity as toxic are liberals and unhappy women. I have never defined it as toxic. Always be ready with a quick retort when you hear someone use that word. “That’s your word, not mine.”

Quiet? Has the writer been living under a rock?
So more and more women are taking charge of the jobs used to be reserved for men. Many have even abandoned showing off their boobs and butts by wearing men’s suits. I wonder if another World War breaks out if they will flock down to the recruiting centers like the young men did at the outbreak of
WWII and volunteer to lay down their lives to protect America?
Very thankfully, no!
