“Rape, murder, war – all have one thing in common: Men.”
Allie Stuckey takes on the myth of “toxic masculinity” … and whether masculinity is ACTUALLY the “problem.”
Spoiler alert: it’s not.
So as she said, attacking masculinity as “toxic” isn’t just wrong, it’s dangerous.
Why?
When you try to make men more like women, you don’t get less “toxic masculinity,” you get more.
YES! Bingo. We are RUINING everything that’s innately GOOD about men. LET MEN BE MEN.
Why? Because bad men don’t become good when they stop being men; they become good when they stop being bad. Aggression, violence, and unbridled ambition can’t be eliminated from the male psyche; they can only be harnessed. And when they are harnessed, they are tools for good, not for harm.
The same masculine traits that bring destruction also defeat tyranny. The traits that foster greed also build economies. The traits that drive men to take foolish risks also drive men to take heroic risks.
The answer to toxic masculinity isn’t less masculinity; it’s better masculinity.
She explains what “better” masculinity looks like – and I’m ALL about it. It’s strong men who work to provide and protect. THAT’s what our country needs.
We need fewer pajama boys… and more men who are willing to put their big-boy boots on and Make America Great Again.
