An ongoing mantra of the left is that everyone is a victim, with a singular carve-out for white men. A large group of the female population has embraced this chant.

While there may be a number of grievances put forth by this movement, there also comes a theme that is particularly dangerous: the feminist attack on masculinity. This is derived not only from feminists; it comes from the left in general.

There has emerged a war on masculinity. Why? Because masculine men are harder to control under tyrannical socialism. The modern beta male, on the other hand, craves socialism. This is why the left has branded masculinity as toxic: it stands as a roadblock to their endgame.

Leftists blame, of all things, masculinity for the recent spate of sexual harassment scandals. For eons, masculinity has been considered a natural and even required trait of being male, but it is now apparently the reason for deviancy. Who knew?

The glaring problem with this argument is that the men who are typically being accused of such transgressions are anything but masculine. Sexual harassment is bipartisan; both liberal and conservative men in positions of power seem to harass women with aplomb. But where is this referenced masculinity? Harvey Weinstein? Al Franken? Louis CK? I posit that a consistent theme among most accused harassers is a complete lack of masculinity. I would go so far as to suggest that the lack of masculinity is a contributing factor to this problem.

Most of these accused public figures are modern men – perhaps not quite beta males, but certainly closer to Obama's now infamous Pajama Boy than they are to John Wayne. Are men who display a lack of masculinity less likely to victimize women? Obviously not. But the left does not let reason or rationality interfere with an opportunity to degrade social decency or further its collectivist agenda.

The feminist hatred for masculinity is only another tool in the toolbox of communism. Masculinity tends to make a man individualistic. Individualistic men are capitalists, not communists. They are men who cherish individual liberty, and they rely on themselves rather than on government. Self-reliance is a four-letter word for leftists, and masculine men are generally self-reliant. Beta males like Pajama Boy rely on government, and such modern men, devoid of any semblance of masculinity, are ideal for leftist indoctrination.

Were the frontiersmen communists or capitalists? How about the cowboys? How about the Navy SEALs or Army Rangers? Sure, the press may find in the military a few Che Guevara t-shirt-wearing idiots and parade them all over the place, but I am willing to bet that the majority of SEAL Team 6 comprises masculine capitalists.

What games do young boys play? They pretend to be cowboys. They pretend to be soldiers. They don't pretend to be soviet textile workers slaving under Stalin's system. They don't pretend to be entitled Millennial brats who congregate at Starbucks and talk about the wonders of socialism, either. Most boys hit the ground embracing masculinity. Some maintain it, but many have it berated out of them by the weak society they walk in or by their leftist parents.

Masculinity leads a man to seek to better himself in many regards, while collectivism thrives on mediocrity. Collectivism in this country is sought by the lazy who don't want to work but feel entitled to free handouts of all kinds. Unfortunately, collectivism is also touted by many who are successful, such as middle-class suburbanites who feel guilty for what they have achieved through hard work while others have not been so fortunate. Yet, when suggesting that the redistribution effort begins with their own 401(k)s, seldom will you find volunteers. Collectivism is also cheered on by certain billionaire hypocrites who made their wealth through capitalism yet now tout the wonders of socialist systems. The irony.

While these social groups appear quite different, there is a common trait among the men in all of them: no masculinity to be found. Be it the lanky hipster in skinny jeans or the billionaire hypocrite, imposing is not one of their descriptions. The billionaire may travel everywhere with a fleet of personal security, but he has no strength of body and apparently little strength of character. Are there plenty of physically weak men who are capitalists? Absolutely. Capitalism is not dependent on machismo or charisma. However, few alphas are socialist, and self-reliance is a collectivism-killer. That is why the left finds masculinity toxic.

The denigration of masculinity is high on the leftist agenda. The pushing of acceptance of the "transgender" movement is the latest machination in this crusade. This fosters further blurring of male masculinity and female femininity, and the plight of a small group of people who wrestle with this issue has become a politically polarizing topic – a tool maximized by the left. Masculinity is maligned as a trait of the bigot, not as a desirable trait among men, as it once was. The goal is to foster an entirely androgynous society that makes no distinction between male and female. This breeds a culture more easily shaped by the almighty state.

The left's war on masculinity should come as no surprise. The cultures in history that have resisted oppressive regimes in the past have celebrated masculinity rather than demeaned it.

There is an often quoted poem that sums up a society's life cycle: "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times." The abundance of weak men in our society is ushering in those hard times, and it is celebrated by the left every step of the way.

The eradication of masculinity from our society will ultimately result in the elimination of all resistance to tyranny. Freedom-loving males know this, and women who believe in individual capability rather than dependence on the government also know it. Remember: subjugation of all to a collectivist regime is the ultimate goal, and branding masculinity as toxic is one of many pieces in the game.

For years I have been telling people it is the castration of the American Male.

Today's society is trying to take/strip away anything that screams masculinity.

Lets look at the military:
Every person I know/knew wanted to go into Combat Arms whether it be infantry, Scouts, Engineers etc..

I know I did. I wanted to go to an all male unit and be around type A personalities.

As I look back (even thought it has only been four years) I consider myself lucky that I was able to go to AFG and be in a 12 man detachment with all males.

I cannot imagine the American West being tamed if the men of that time acted like the beta males of today.

This is SPARTA!

I relish being a member of the most hated group in the universe... successful white male.

Trigger time for the flakes!!!!

You cannot have my rifle, or my gun.

I say this every time I watch TV. The commercials make men out to be "soft".

What games do young boys play? They pretend to be cowboys. They pretend to be soldiers. They don't pretend to be soviet textile workers slaving under Stalin's system. They don't pretend to be entitled Millennial brats who congregate at Starbucks and talk about the wonders of socialism, either. Most boys hit the ground embracing masculinity.

Those are just ED commercials.

As I told my wife while watching some TV one evening, men are portrayed one of three ways in commercials....

1 - Black man living with or married to a white woman.
2 - Weak and worthless, cowering to the woman.
3 - Not even in the picture with woman and children.

And before anyone gets their panties in a wad over (1) above, I have no issue whatsoever with that relationship. I simply point it out as being far from the majority of male/female relationships, and is likely advertisers bending to the demands of the race nazis.

I guess I'm public enemy # 1 with these people given I drive a truck, own a real dog, own guns, wear jeans most days, and listen to country music. Yeah, I'm good with it.

Leftists hate masculinity because real men will resist captivity. We cannot be contained. Even worse is a real freedom lover armed to the teeth. They hate that!

And don't forget simpleton or buffoon. He doesn't buy stuff on sale, he has a year old phone, and also don't forget that his preteen kids have to straighten him out for his poor life skills.

Its pretty evident that men are portrayed in a less masculine (read that as normal) on TV and in other media. The TV commercials are especially bad.
Examples:
The Sprint (Formerly Verizon) "man".
The Pet Smart "man"
Hipster pussies.
You really want to be devalued as a male? Just go through a divorce with underage kids.
Its been going on for a while now.

Think about this one:
How much of the WORLD would be conquered if the past had the beta males & fucking hipsters that we have today?

We'd probably still be living in fucking caves, gluten-free vegans but drinking sweet ass frappa-lappa-dappa-chinos and wearing knit hats worried about wild animals eating us because we're unable to run in our skinny jeans.


The whole "Lead, follow or get the fuck out of the way" thing? We've allowed them to get in the fucking way for far too long.

This will make your blood boil.
