Masculinity


The left is trying to “redefine masculinity” as a way of eliminating it from our society. They believe that traditional masculinity is harmful, and they admit it by calling it, “toxic masculinity”. And when they redefine it, the traditional masculinity as we know it disappears, and it is replaced by something unrecognizable. That is one of the reasons why the people on the left are so obsessed with gender and gender transitions, and are trying to foist their obsession on the rest of the country. That’s why they promote drag queen story hour to first graders, encourage secret gender transitions in middle schools, allow biological males to play on women’s sports teams, and invite transsexuals to run around topless on the White House lawn. They are trying to redefine what masculinity is by calling into question the entire concept of gender. They believe that if they can eliminate gender, then they will be able to eliminate masculinity with it. They are trying to remove the traditional man who was vital to the creation of all human societies and the building our country, from modern western culture. In their eyes, that traditional male is no longer needed, so he must be discarded to the scrap heap of history.  

 

On Friday, Democratic strategist Aisha Mills admitted to this when she stated that “this entire presidential campaign is a tale of two types of masculinity generally… this toxic masculinity” versus “tenderness”. She is claiming that “tenderness” is the new defining characteristic of masculinity which means femininity is the new masculinity. And they are trying to sell this warped idea through the men they are promoting in this election cycle. But they are clearly missing the target. Masculinity is not second gentleman Doug Emhoff, who claims to be a feminist and defers to his wife but smacked his ex-girlfriend in the face and forced his children’s nanny whom he impregnated to get an abortion; masculinity is not Tim Walz who put tampons in boys restrooms but hid under his desk when his state was being burned to the ground by violent rioters in 2020. Those are not examples of masculinity, they are examples of deluded cowards.  

 

Masculinity is deceased firefighter Corey Comperatore who threw his body over his wife and daughter as bullets came hailing down during the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Mr. Comperatore willingly took the fatal bullets which would have killed his wife and daughter without a thought or hesitation. That’s masculinity. That’s what being a man is. But that is what he did for a living – he ran into the burning buildings while everyone was fleeing. Masculinity is being willing to lay down your life for another. Donald Trump does that every day of his life. The left’s overblown rhetoric toward Trump, calling him Hitler and a fascist, have led to two assassination attempts on his life, but Trump refuses to stop fighting for Americans. Trump is out on the campaign trail every day. Standing in front of massive crowds, risking his life with every rally and every speech, willing to take a bullet for his country while his opponent is too scared to field challenging questions. 

 

A little over a week ago, Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the first attempt on his life, and told the massive crowd that he will “never yield, not even in the face of death itself.” More than anything, that is why they hate Trump so much. They hate his strength; they hate his courage; they hate his willingness to fight; they hate his resiliency; they hate his masculinity.

 

Contrary to what the left will tell you, there is nothing toxic about traditional masculinity. There is nothing toxic about having the courage to lay down your life for another. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)  That is an act of love. The word love is rarely equated with masculinity, but love is embedded in true traditional masculinity. Love is the driving force behind all that they do. It is the reason why certain men run into the fire, storm the beaches at Normandy, refuse to quit or be intimidated, and continue to sacrifice for others. The traditional masculine man does what he does out of love – love for country, love for friends, love for family, and love for God. That is what Jesus did. Out of love for all of us, he laid down his life so we could live. He didn’t bring salvation into the world from tenderness; he brought salvation because he was willing to take up his cross, he was willing to take a beating and still go, he was willing to lay down his life for those he loved. There is nothing toxic about that.

JG - Perfect!

Trump is proving every day that he is as brave as any man (and/or woman)

that ever lived. And he is doing it not just with words but with every one

of his PATRIOTIC actions.

PRAY FOR TRUMP! PRAY FOR MASCULINITY.

GOD BLESS MASCULINITY..

AND WHATEVER IS THE FEMALE EQUIVALENT!
