5 Reasons Masculinity Is Increasingly Coming Under Attack in America
PJ Media ^ | 20 Jan 2019 | JohnHawkins

Posted on 01/20/2019 12:22:20 PM PST by Rummyfan

Masculinity is increasingly coming under attack in America. The American Psychological Association has practically declared it a mental illness: “Traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.”

Of course, UT-Austin did a "MasculinUT" campaign that essentially did the same thing with ads like this:

These sorts of attacks on men and attempts to redefine masculinity as something more feminine have gotten so ever-present that even a razor company like Gillette is crapping on men, noting that only “some” of them are good and warning us about toxic masculinity.

Have you ever asked yourself why this is happening? Well…

The feminisaton of American boys began just after Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian immigrant back in 1968.
An overt attempt to make them less prone to the “glorification of violence”.
Toy guns disappeared,
Movies on TV were butchered to remove “violence”.
Adult oriented TV shows (but safe enough for kids) were dumbed down to kiddie shows.

Pulp fiction replaced their lurid sex and violent covers with “milder” ones.

Only movies got a pass with a joke of a ratings system. So the movie industry began to add scenes of sex and violence to get the coveted “R” rating.

Homosexuality was promoted to make boys more “feminine.

I’ve seen obese “XY” people with feminized faces like that, but I’m still going with “fat dyke”.

Masculinity is not toxic... Feminism is.

They want the guns, they want women to DENEGRATE AND ISOLATE men, they want new mothers to emasculate their boys, they want us all to smoke pot that’s why the push for legalizing all because if they can accomplish this in some degree WE WILL LOSE THE URGE TO FIGHT. A DOSILE MASS IS A CONTROLLABLE ONE, THEY WIN YOU LOSE!

No, you cannot say women are aggressive. They are “assertive”.

Also it will produce a lower birth rate among the white population while the rat politicians siphon our tax dollars to support the out of control birth rates of illegal invaders including the Muslims

One of the most amazing things that I have seen is how marginalized boys and men are in the presses, every new fiction book that I have read, was about women, even if written by men,and all the women had female children.

Many films and tv shows there are no boys.

If there is a boy or man, he is usually a token or a dummy, unless he is rescuing the woman.

How about the real number one reason, which is that men refuse to defend themselves or their sons?

Men, making up half the population, are either complicit in promoting this in order to score points with the ladies (either politically or, you know), or are just plain capitulating. Whatever the reason, most men are no shows in this battle, and have thus made themselves and their sons easy targets for whomever wants to attack them.

We haven’t needed real men in a long time.

Think about what most politicians are: the kids in high school who were smart, but not smart enough to become doctors. Think about who runs media. Again, not exactly Gary Cooper.

These people live in a bubble. The rest of the world are out there working, and paying attention to life.

NYC, LA, and SF are NOT normal America. Don’t fall for these stories. If you haven’t been out with the millennial and gen X crews, I can tell you they still like real men in the world.

“Traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, and aggression ...”

People speak of the physical aspects of certain male dominated jobs but the above traits are the things which create the distinctly male environment that undergirds the operators by constantly refining their skills and abilities. THOSE things were the FIRST thing that went when women entered traditionally male fields. Our cops, militry are now totally feminized. I don’t see how we get it all back...

That's exactly why they're doing it.

"Toxic Masculinity" saved Judeo Christian Western Civilization from the islamic invasion, the nazis and japanese and the commies.

Without real men our civilization falls.

“Whatever the reason”

No different than how whites are reacting to promises of white genocide.

That person was not born male. Clearly obvious. Except to UT.

These people try to fight against nature and it just won’t work.

If little kids see a man and women kiss in public, they will think “love.” If they see two men kiss, they will react with disgust. This is without any training or indoctrination in gender of any kind. It is just a natural reaction.

As much as some people want to be able to change that, they never will be able to.

Socialism is feminine, it is threatened by masculinity, and many media institutions and groups want free stuff and the ability to control others.

I don’t think Kennedy engaged in sexual interludes with unwilling women like Clinton.

Was JFK accused of rape and Jackie discredited those accusers?

What is your evidence JFK didn’t have ‘respect for women’?

All that is necessary to defeat this crap is for men to completely ignore it. If we do not pay any attention to these weirdos, they will go quiet.

K ignored his baseless prosecuters, too, in Kafka’s “The Trial.”
It didn’t end well.

Men will stop buying their razors. The big think now is women not shaving, too. They won't be buying their razors either.

Good move, Gillette!

5 reasons ... missed the most important.

The most important is that jobs requiring physical strength are disappearing. Machines do those jobs or help with them.

Another reason is that the media is entertaining us with “The Story of How Women Can Do Everything”.
