Brown student calls for 'revolution' against 'toxic masculinity’
Campus Reform ^ | March 5, 2018 | Toni Airaksinen

A Brown University student has called for a “men’s revolution” to “liberate not only men, but all of society, from the constraints of toxic masculinity.”

In a recent op-ed for The Brown Daily Herald, student Quentin Thomas argues that such a revolution is necessary because “toxic masculinity” causes men to “perpetrate harm against another individual and himself.”

Money quote:

embody stoicism through extreme emotional suppression and never show any signs of weakness.

Seneca and Marcus Aurelius might disagree.

Be easier to have a “revolution” against toxic homosexuality.

No kidding. The Muslim “bad boys” are waiting in the wings to bring a correction to Western effeminacy (though they are as screwed up sexually as anyone on the planet)!

But Jesus, who wept and was openly sympathetic to the woes of the dissolute (much less so, Pharisees) would say hey look here, even the world is sensing there is something better.

They may find the hard way that the money-quote definition of “toxic masculinity” is exactly why they’ll get creamed in a “revolution” against it.

Opening of the op-ed: "The idea of masculinity has been on my mind for some time now. I was first introduced to the concept in an English class my junior year of high school."

You should have been introduced as a youngster, by a father - then you wouldn't have turned out such a sniveler.

They are a trap, a temptation to become as them to a generation which has forgotten the power of the Cross.

C.S. Lewis — ‘We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.’

The self centeredness is where the toxicity lies.

Chests are made for hearts, rather than pounding upon. That’s the point.

No it didn’t. You too are self centered, forgetting the wholeness of Christ who knew when to suffer for the sake of redeeming.

How dare this person imply there are differences between genders. The correct term is something like
“toxic he/she/it/they-ness” /sarc

Oh, rly?

It’s long past time for “Masculine Christianity,” not the lame, feminized butterflies and unicorns Christianity that prevails in empty churches around the world today.

Islam and Marxism have thrown down the gauntlet. Fight or die.
