| America's men are in crisis and it's rooted in one big lie | |
| 2023-05-17 | |
| By Sen. Josh Hawley [FoxNews] Of all the things this country needs—stronger borders, better-paying jobs, some basic safety on our streets—above all, America needs stronger men. The left has spent decades running men down, blaming them for everything from climate change to "the patriarchy." They’re wrong. Strong men aren’t the problem. For America, stronger, better men are the solution. All is not well with men in this country. The numbers tell the tale. Men are lonelier than ever before. They’re dropping out of the labor force in greater numbers than ever before. They’re struggling more with drug abuse and alcohol. They increasingly forego a college education, even as they delay getting married and having kids. If any other demographic group was struggling to this extent, we’d call it a national crisis. And it is. But the left doesn’t see it that way. They blame boys and men for the sins of the world. They say all masculinity is "toxic," that simply to be a man is to make the world a worse place. They propose to do away with "traditional masculinity" altogether. The left’s campaign to re-educate men begins as early as preschool, where too many boys are punished for aggressive play and, if they don’t comply, medicated out of their boyishness. As young men, they’re denied the manufacturing jobs that allowed their fathers to earn good wages—the governing class having long ago shipped those jobs overseas—and set adrift on college campuses filled with activists who despise them. And popular culture relentlessly bangs this same drum: when men aren’t morons, they’re actively evil. At bottom, this critique of men is rooted in a lie: that men shouldn’t be leaders, creators, and heroes, but just consumers looking out for themselves. The truth is just the opposite. We need men to step up.

| #5 I blame secondary effects of deodorant. A man should smell like a man, not flowers. Aluminized...no wait...maybe that's dementia. Beer, in aluminum cans. Poisoning the next generation! |

| #4 How many of those males in that chemical abuse category were raised by women? Sex and the City was probably the single most anti-woman piece of propaganda released. |

| #3 But if your goal is to destroy America so it can be rebuilt as a socialist police state, everything is going according to plan. |

| #2 Until women decide and proclaim loudly that they desire strong men, this will never happen. Currently, women are still caught up in the lie that they need to be better versions of men. Voila! Men competing in women's sports and dominating. |

| #1 All is not well with men in this country. As was stated so succinctly here by someone...to paraphrase: "Born a male, made a man." |
