American journalists and other human folderol are claiming that Democrat men are “redefining masculinity.” And no, I’m not making that quote up. Jen Psaki psaid pso on her psucky pshow on MPSNBC. And there have been similar headlines in USA Today and other trusted news outlets or at least outlets trusted by the same sort of people who think, “Okay, this time I’m sure I know which card is the queen. I’ll bet another twenty dollars.”
So let’s take a look at the Democrat men these journalists are talking about.
One example is Doug Emhoff, who’ll be first gentleman if Kamala Harris wins the election. Which definitely does redefine masculinity if by that you mean eliminates it completely. I mean, holy crap, it’s bad enough to be married to Kamala Harris but now you have to go to parties and people say &#8220;What do you do?&#8221; and you’re like, &#8220;I’m the first gentleman,&#8221; and they sort of simper and say &#8220;Oh, how wonderful, you’re redefining masculinity,&#8221; but what they’re really thinking is: this poor guy must have a package the size of a mustard seed. So now you’re lying awake at night in the Lincoln bedroom or wherever, staring at the ceiling and wondering how you got to a place where technically you’re still a man I guess, but not only are you the king cuck of the universe, but you also have to listen to that laugh Kamala has until you start thinking, “Hey, she’s guarded by the same Secret Service that guarded Donald Trump, so basically she&#8217;s got no protection. I could still get out of this.”
Okay, I kind of went off on a tangent there and I’m not sure what point I was trying to make. But let’s remember that Mr. Doug Redefining Masculinity actually cheated on his last wife with the nanny until she got pregnant and had an abortion, which sounds to me like the same old Democrat definition of masculinity as always. And now he’s also been accused of slapping his former girlfriend after she flirted with another man at a party.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-andrew-klavan-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show on DailyWire+</a></h3>
That raises some interesting questions, right? For instance, you might ask: “Well, is it always wrong to smack your girlfriend?” And yes, of course it is! And you might ask, “But what if she’s, like, really, really annoying — like Kamala Harris level annoying with that laugh and everything?” And I would say: Still, you don’t just slap her. It’s not like she’s your wife where the occasional swat on the backside is probably cheaper than a divorce. She’s your girlfriend, you can dump her if she’s that much trouble. And you might say, “Well, okay, what if she’s a journalist, and not just any journalist, but like one of those two dames who moderated the Vice Presidential debate and sat there all night with those prissy little smiles on their faces while skewing all the questions in a leftist direction and then cutting off JD Vance’s microphone when he tried to correct their so-called fact check which was against the rules in the first place?”
And okay, look, there are always gray areas. But if you’re dating a girl who’s a journalist, you might want to take a good look in the mirror before you just get handsy with her. The problem could be you, my friend.
Anyway, the question is: are Democrat men really redefining masculinity or are they just a bunch of sleaze-balls? Because not only do you have Doug Emhoff banging the nanny then playing ping-pong-face with a flirty girlfriend. But you’ve also got Tim Walz and, oh my God, right? Talk about a guy who’s redefining masculinity to the point where it could become a capital offense. I mean, is there something creepy about that dude or what? I don’t want to go too far here. If it turned out Walz had, like, an oubliette in his basement with his next victim already down there praying to God Clarice Starling can find her before it’s too late, I would be surprised. But only maybe thirty percent surprised. Maybe twenty. If that.
So in conclusion, Democrat men are redefining masculinity. Yeah, either that or Democrat women are cucking them nutless to keep from getting smacked in the kisser.

Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles sat down with social media influencer Justin Waller to discuss life while enjoying high-quality cigars. Over the course of their conversation, they discussed the issue of how men can reclaim their place in society and the phenomenon of women initiating divorce more often than men.
Waller said one way husbands can avoid being left by their wives is to make themselves men of substance. After discussing the crisis of a lack of male role models, the influencer talked about how to overcome this problem.
He offered this advice to the men out there, “Become a man that&#8217;s so hard to replace that she never wants to be the hero. Which is the beautiful thing about love, by the way. I love nothing more than winning. And then calling her and being like, ‘Hey, babe.’”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/feminism-is-wrecking-women-michael-the-alpha-mentor-justin-waller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH THE FULL &#8216;MICHAEL &amp; THE APLPHA MENTOR&#8217; INTERVIEW</a>
While society focuses on issues like “toxic masculinity,” men are continually falling behind by every single metric, including academically, socially, and professionally. The number of men enrolling in college has dropped. And it’s no secret that a lack of strong male role models has contributed heavily to societal decline. 
The one place men are overrepresented is not a good one. In 2021, men <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/traditional-masculinity-is-the-solution-to-the-male-loneliness-epidemic-not-the-cause">accounted for</a> roughly 80% of suicides.
Waller told Knowles that he believes family doesn’t always mean being related by blood. 
“[The] thing about love, and I have plenty of that in my life, so I have really deep understanding of what it&#8217;s supposed to be like. And that has nothing to do with my childhood. You build your family in life, you know, and I don&#8217;t particularly believe that family is the blood that was given to you. I think it&#8217;s the family that you build.”
The influencer said of his wife, “We become one flesh. And now we get to have kids who are of the same blood [as] both of us.” 
Waller added, “Sometimes people say, my friends, they&#8217;re really my family, and I&#8217;ve got very close friends.”
The conversation moved to the general negative attitudes toward traditional masculinity in our culture. “A woman is never going to stay attracted to you if she feels like she&#8217;s the dominant force in the relationship anyway,” Waller told Knowles.
He also said it’s not possible to have “society without religion.”
“The nuclear family was a real thing, and I truly believe the only reason we really lost it is because when we went off the gold standard and started inflating money, we went from a man that could go to work 40 hours a week, take care of his family, take care of the people that he loves, and be the head of the household to this situation where they started to become peers.”
“And when you lose respect, you lose love. And that&#8217;s when the family broke,” Waller said.

Spotify superstar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-rogan">Joe Rogan</a> is a man’s man in the classic sense of the phrase.
The comedian loves hunting, eating red meat, and combat sports. He’s been part of the UFC revolution for more than 20 years, providing color commentary for some of the sport’s biggest matches.
He looks as wide as he is tall, and it’s all muscle, not fat. So why does he attract so many female listeners?
<div id="attachment_693389" style="width: 826px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-693389" class="size-large wp-image-693389" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/GettyImages-1440840074-816x576.jpg" alt="NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 11: Joe Rogan is seen on stage during the UFC 281 ceremonial weigh-in at Radio City Music Hall on November 11, 2022 in New York City.

A <a href="https://business.yougov.com/content/47483-whos-listening-to-the-joe-rogan-experience-men-mostly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 YouGov poll</a> found that Rogan’s podcast fan base leans younger and male.
No surprise there given the show’s content, Rogan’s personal interests, and the crush of male guests. He also curses like the proverbial sailor sans apology.
Yet <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/joe-rogan-renews-spotify-deal-not-exclusive-1235895424/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety’s announcement</a> of Rogan’s Spotify contract extension included this nugget:
<blockquote>Per Edison Research’s Q3 2023 survey of most listened-to podcasts, “The Joe Rogan Experience” ranked No. 1 for the period. In addition, “JRE” was the No. 2 most listened-to podcast for women 13 and older in the U.S., according to Edison.</blockquote>
Number two. And it’s not for lack of female-centric podcasts or alternatives across the pop culture landscape. And that includes true crime podcasts, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/13/why-are-women-falling-asleep-to-true-crime-podcasts-and-tv-shows.html#:~:text=%22My%20research%20shows%20that%20women,what%20to%20do%20if%20kidnapped." target="_blank" rel="noopener">audio catnip for many women</a>.
Turns out women love Rogan, too. But why?
<div id="attachment_693165" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-693165" class="size-large wp-image-693165" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-1024x576.jpg" alt="Joe Rogan Aaron Rodgers" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/JRAR-2048x1152.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Screenshot: Joe Rogan Experience</div>
Rogan is unapologetically male at a time when pop culture suggests that’s off limits. So-called “toxic masculinity” must be called out and avoided at all costs.
That message got through to Rogan.
“It’s become a disparaged term, to be a man,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoE_VJ0UopM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rogan said in an undated clip</a> from his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
“We are now around soft men and hard times. We’re in a time of ‘<a href="https://www.thedailystar.net/opinion/views/news/peterson-rogan-tate-the-cult-toxic-masculinity-3129491" target="_blank" rel="noopener">toxic masculinity’</a> where you can be toxically male,” he said <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5Za3RPE9uc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in another talk</a> on the subject. “And if you’re suppressing masculinity, you’re going to bring on hard times.”
He dug deeper into the phrase last year with <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/joe-rogan-goes-after-critics-who-believe-toxic-masculinity-is-an-indictment-of-all-men-thats-crazy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“The Punisher” star Jon Bernthal</a>.
<blockquote>There’s no term toxic femininity, right? But there’s toxic human beings, and some of them happen to be male and some of them happen to be female … but it’s not an indictment on male, you know, the male gender of the species. That’s crazy.</blockquote>
Rogan’s unabashedly male persona connects with his female flock.
It’s not unlike how women swoon over the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce courtship. The couple represents an old-school romance, the prettiest girl at the prom and the gridiron hero scoring touchdowns for his sweetie.
Podcaster Karol Markowicz noticed a recent viral moment when Kelce moved past a security guard to open a car door for his squeeze during a Big Apple date. The video swiftly got shared far and wide, with Markowicz noting how women swooned over his old-fashioned manners.
They’re playing out their gender roles to a T, sans apology. And so, too, is Rogan. Women reacted to Kelce’s Alpha Male move, much like they long for Rogan’s podcast brand.
<div id="attachment_646243" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-646243" class="size-large wp-image-646243" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-1024x574.png" alt="Elon Musk" width="1024" height="574" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-1024x574.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-300x168.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-768x431.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-1536x861.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-01-at-4.20.43-AM-2048x1148.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" />Screenshot: Joe Rogan Experience</div>
When Cancel Culture came calling Rogan stood his ground. He apologized for using the N-word in the past, although never against a person of color in a derogatory way and carried on his show and career. The press piled on, too, shaping everything Rogan did or said as “controversial” or “problematic.” 
He ignored the attacks, understanding his fans didn’t believe the false narratives against him. Plus, he kept on challenging authority, promoting his professional and personal interests as if the woke mob never knocked on his door.
That’s courage in 21st-century America, and Rogan’s alpha male instincts served him well. Thus the new Spotify deal, reportedly worth up to $250 million.
Men appreciate Rogan as much for his content as his attitude toward their gender. He preaches discipline, much like Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, connecting with disaffected young males hungry for a father figure.
Alpha Males don’t wait for opportunities to knock on their door. They break the door down and make it happen.

Schwartz/Getty Images</div>
Rogan is a mixed martial artist as well as a stand-up comic. That requires patience, discipline, and a dedication to one’s health that goes beyond what most people embrace.
<blockquote><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL16129Qayg">F*** your motivation</a>. You need discipline. Because motivation’s not there every day. I’m missing motivation most days … once I get going, I feel great … but it’s that beginning part that’s hard because your body wants to stay comfortable.</blockquote>
Young men in particular won’t find many Alpha Male role models in pop culture. James Bond had to ride behind his female partner on a motorcycle in the most recent 007 affair, “No Time to Die.” Iconic male figures like Mad Max and He-Man now play second fiddle to strong, empowered female characters.
Male politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau hardly radiate Alpha Male energy. That leaves many men without a sense of purpose or identity. How many times must they see “the future is female” messages before they feel less than useful?
Rogan welcomes them with humor and tough love. That’s the Alpha Male approach, and it means the Spotify superstar will keep attracting both men and women to his signature showcase.

Romance novel cover star Fabio told the next generation of men that they should be themselves and &#8220;don&#8217;t drink Soy milk&#8221; as he explained why the world needs masculine men following the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas</a> terrorist attacks in October in Israel that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 people.
During an interview with Fox Business&#8217; Neil Cavuto on &#8220;<a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/legendary-cover-model-fabio-criticizes-state-masculinity-world-upside-down?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-39228772&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cavuto: Coast To Coast</a>,&#8221; the 64-year-old model/actor, born Fabio Lanzoni, expanded on comments he made earlier in the year when he slammed the &#8220;woke movement&#8221; of making male characters &#8220;too soft&#8221; in new romance books.
&#8220;Today, it&#8217;s almost like they don&#8217;t like men [to have] testosterone…&#8221; Lanzoni told the host. &#8220;Of course, in times of war, who are you going to rely to [sic]? Soldiers, they have to have testosterone.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

&#8220;It&#8217;s just a trend,&#8221; the actor added of making male characters in romance stories soft. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to be in and out. That&#8217;s the reality.&#8221;
The &#8220;Bubble Boy&#8221; star then gave his advice to the next generation of men.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a>
&#8220;Be yourself and don&#8217;t drink soy milk,&#8221; Fabio told Cavuto. &#8220;Men and women, they&#8217;re different. Men have to have testosterone.&#8221;
&#8220;And especially, in cases of war &#8230; who do you think is going to save you?&#8221; he added. &#8220;The metrosexual guy in the city or somebody who has testosterone, who is in the army? I&#8217;m telling you, it&#8217;s like the world right now is upside down.&#8221;
Cavuto also showed a picture of the Italian-American star years earlier donning a military uniform as a soldier.
The comments were similiar to ones the actor made earlier this year when he told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/17/romance-novels-ditch-hunks-for-squishy-centered-men-but-fabio-calls-it-hogwash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a> that the &#8220;woke movement&#8221; of &#8220;soft masculinity&#8221; portrayed in new romance books is &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;
&#8220;I talk to many people, I talk to many women and the women say, &#8216;We can&#8217;t find real men anymore,&#8217; and they say, &#8216;We want a real man, not a metrosexual,&#8217; so what they say is happening in the new romance novels is detached from reality,&#8221; the actor told the Post. &#8220;It&#8217;s La-La Land.&#8221;
Fabio&#8217;s career took off in the 80s and 90s when he was the face of dozens and dozens of romance novels before making his move to the big screen, the Post noted.

Asked to name the most pressing problem confronting the American family, many conservatives would say its breakdown since the advent of the welfare state. That’s a valid answer, but a larger problem is looming today: a lack of family formation. Fewer Americans are getting married and having children.
Birth rates began to plummet with the generational shift from Gen X (born 1965-1979) to Millennials (born 1980-1994), according to professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge’s Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, and Silents—and What They Mean for America’s Future. Fertility had been rising prior to the Great Recession of 2008, <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pewtrusts.org%2Fen%2Fresearch-and-analysis%2Fissue-briefs%2F2022%2F12%2Fthe-long-term-decline-in-fertility-and-what-it-means-for-state-budgets&amp;data=05%7C01%7CEvan.Myers%40heritage.org%7Cef3d8f9425b54ea0118608db9d9f888f%7Ccbd93b4867ea46759ee84178b273204a%7C0%7C0%7C638277080765269129%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=4LXPnmtQjXnYrzqXlRijEk9VUa%2F35p7dtoPYPit3dso%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a recent Pew report notes</a>, but it fell off sharply after that, and has yet to recover.
In the <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.birthgap.org%2Ffeed&amp;data=05%7C01%7CEvan.Myers%40heritage.org%7Cef3d8f9425b54ea0118608db9d9f888f%7Ccbd93b4867ea46759ee84178b273204a%7C0%7C0%7C638277080765581656%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=M0gvJrxtPJ4GHCn6AuskM1v3sEtIowCC1bOoi89Vqag%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent documentary</a>, “Birthgap,” data scientist Stephen J. Shaw notes that the primary driver behind falling birthrates is not that mothers are having fewer children, but that the number of women who have no children has risen sharply. Most of these women, about 80%, wanted children but either never found a partner or did not do so in time to have children. They were caught unawares, had been poorly educated about female fertility, and thought they had more time.
Part of this outlook towards biology could have to do with the general perception that, through technology, modern society has conquered nature. The contemporary world is a customizable one, and the individual expects his every preference and desire — from his Uber Eats orders to his online dating options — to be met, and promptly. It is difficult to confront the reality that even science is limited by nature, as was exemplified by some of the reactions during the pandemic.

Wallerstein and San Francisco State University professor Julia M. Lewis suggest that the impact divorce has on children extends into adulthood, affecting relationships and marriages:
<blockquote>“The central finding of this study is that parental divorce impacts detrimentally the capacity to love and be loved within a lasting, committed relationship…In addition to overcoming their fear of failure, they have a great deal to learn about the give and take of living with another person, about how to deal with differences, and about how to resolve conflicts.”</blockquote>
Children of divorce can be pessimistic about marriage and dismissive of its importance for human happiness. More fundamentally, they are missing a mapped example of a healthy relationship, of what to look for in a spouse and how to communicate well.
Individuals are putting off marriage and children, not only because of shifts in attitudes towards marriage, but because many who want to get married are struggling to find partners. Contributing to this are the effects of what has come to be known as the “boy crisis.” Like falling birth rates, the boy crisis is not just an American phenomenon, but is manifesting itself in many developed countries around the world.
More women are going to college than men, but women still would like partners as educated or more educated than them; for example, women are <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fphys.org%2Fnews%2F2019-08-women-tinder-highly-men.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7CEvan.Myers%40heritage.org%7Cef3d8f9425b54ea0118608db9d9f888f%7Ccbd93b4867ea46759ee84178b273204a%7C0%7C0%7C638277080766831793%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=fMK2GiMWdf96jN%2BuQI7lvD8oNsnomviyRoQEOx1e9Pg%3D&amp;reserved=0">91% more likely to “swipe right” on Tinder</a> when a man has a master’s versus a bachelor’s degree. According to Twenge, Millennials are making more money than previous generations, but “Every single penny of the rise in younger adults’ incomes is due to women’s incomes.”
This has been some time in the making. In ”The War Against Boys: How Misguided Policies Are Harming Our Young Men,” Christina Hoff Sommers drew attention to the academic gaps between girls and boys and how such gaps would hinder boys’ future earnings in a knowledge economy. Her book was published over 20 years ago. The boys of 2000 are the men of today.
The boy crisis, as devastatingly detailed in political scientist Warren Farrell’s and counselor John Gray’s “The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It,” can be primarily traced to the absence of fathers, with 40% of children now born out of wedlock. Not only have boys been lagging academically, their lifespans and IQs are decreasing, and young men are turning to drugs, alcohol, and suicide in despair.
The boy crisis, primarily precipitated by the absence of fathers, and a lack of family formation, constitutes a vicious cycle. The effects of dad-deprivation are more severe for boys than for girls, and, according to Farrell and Gray, “This is true not only of boys’ economic future, but also of boys’ emotional intelligence and marital potential — all of which are inextricably connected.” Women desire mature spouses and tend to be hypergamous; they marry those who are equal or above them in terms of education or socioeconomic status. When men are doing poorly, women are without suitable life partners.
Under such circumstances, a hook-up culture, made more possible by the invention of the birth control pill (and, in the case of Millennials and Zoomers, online dating) and encouraged by the tenets of the Sexual Revolution, tends to prevail. This vicious cycle leads men and women to put off marriage. And when women are educated and economically independent, many make the choice of pursuing other opportunities rather than settling with a partner with whom they lack confidence.
Adaptive thinking is called for when it comes to strengthening American families (and indeed, families around the world). Responding to declining birth rates will not simply, nor perhaps primarily, be a matter of adjusting policies that obviously pertain to the family, like parental leave, but addressing phenomena like the boy crisis.
Family policies cater to families that have already been formed, but a major driver of falling birth rates is that people are not getting married in the first place. If we hope to save the American family, we have to recognize this shift — and respond accordingly.

The Real Crisis Affecting The American Family

If for some reason you&#8217;re still holding out hope that some of the &#8220;public health experts&#8221; you see all the time in the national news media actually care about the public, or health, consider the story that did not dominate the news cycle this week. Here&#8217;s the headline: “49,449 Americans killed themselves last year.” The data just came in a few days ago. That&#8217;s the highest number of suicides ever recorded in this country&#8217;s history.
If you viewed that as a problem worth solving as quickly as possible — as any decent person would — then you&#8217;d dive much deeper into that data. You&#8217;d want to know who exactly is committing all these suicides. You&#8217;d want to know their age, sex, race, occupation, and so on. And then you&#8217;d present your findings honestly, as a starting point to address the problem.
But no one from any major media outlet or public health institution is doing that. They&#8217;re not even trying. Instead, we&#8217;re getting quick-hit reports like this one, from Good Morning America:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="US suicides hit all-time high in 2022, CDC says" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Ws64bvm7yM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
What the doctor tells us is that &#8220;veterans, physicians, and LGBTQ youth&#8221; are particularly at risk. She doesn&#8217;t delve more deeply into the numbers, though, and neither does anyone else in that segment, which lasts less than two minutes.
You have to wonder if that&#8217;s deliberate, because there&#8217;s a certain demographic group that&#8217;s somehow missing from the ones the doctor mentioned there. It&#8217;s a demographic group that commits suicide at a far higher rate than any other — and has for many years: men. Last year, men accounted for roughly 80% of suicides. Let me say that again: 80%. Men living in rural areas were particularly vulnerable. As of the latest data, men working in the professions of &#8220;mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction&#8221; have the single highest per capita suicide rate in the country, at more than 54 deaths per 100,000 men. Construction is the next-highest category. Ask yourself why Good Morning America made special mention of “LGBT youth” and “physicians” but forgot to mention that nearly all of the suicides are men, and blue-collar men in particular are at the highest risk.
You&#8217;d hate to think that media producers in New York don&#8217;t want you to hear about the fact that men are killing themselves. You&#8217;d like to believe they care about miners, or oil and gas workers, and not just physicians. But that doesn&#8217;t appear to be the case. Most outlets are doing exactly what Good Morning America did. In their writeup on the data, for example, Reuters didn&#8217;t mention the difference between male and female suicide rates at all. Instead, they implied — in the second paragraph of their article — that the problem is not enough gun control. The real problem, according to Reuters, is that you haven&#8217;t given the Democratic Party more power. This is a very dumb conclusion to draw, first because it’s an assault on our constitutional rights. But also because getting rid of guns would simply eliminate one of the dozens of possible ways for a suicidal person to commit suicide. It would not do anything to address the fact that he is suicidal in the first place.
This is a longstanding trend in the media. Scour through the last year of coverage on suicide rates in this country, and you&#8217;d be hard-pressed to find anyone talking about how many men are killing themselves. To the extent you do find any reports on men committing suicide, it&#8217;s always filtered through some forced lens of racial equity and BLM. Here are just a few examples from recent months:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="New CDC data shows elevated suicide rates for Black and Hispanic men | ABCNL" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Xm4r0TOpY4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There&#8217;s an epidemic of suicides by black men, the media insists. Is that true? Here are the numbers from the CDC, to the extent you can trust them. Last year white Americans accounted for more than 37,000 suicides, while black Americans accounted for a little over 3,800 suicides. Accounting for population differences, that means white people are killing themselves at roughly twice the rate of black people. That&#8217;s in keeping with data we have going back the past few years — data that&#8217;s widely known. In 2017, the New York Times ran a whole story about how black people were about one-third as likely to kill themselves as white people. Of course, the Times suggested there was some unknown flaw in the data that explained the disparity. They hand-waved it away.
What&#8217;s going on here? Why are so many media outlets unwilling to talk, honestly and directly, about the suicide rate afflicting men in this country?  
Whatever the reason, they&#8217;re not just hiding data on suicide rates. They also rarely talk about all the other obvious, verifiable signs that men are suffering in this country, in ways they never have before. Approximately 70% of homeless people are men. And the total number of homeless people in this country has more than doubled in the last three decades. Meanwhile, men are far more likely than women to use — and overdose on — virtually every illicit drug that exists. The number of these overdoses has increased dramatically in just the past 20 years.

Look at this chart. Fewer than 20,000 people overdosed in 1999. In 2021, the number was over 100,000. Men account for the vast majority of these deaths. Women are nowhere close. Along the same lines, young men report that they&#8217;re single at more than twice the rate of young women. Statistics concerning unhappiness and depression are similar. We all know that men are far more likely to end up in prison, to drop out of school, to fall victim to violent crime, etc.
What&#8217;s causing this? Is it random statistical noise? Is it some combination of globalization, feminism, #MeToo and modern monetary theory? No one seems to care, which tells you a lot. To find anyone talking honestly about these problems, and what&#8217;s causing them, you have to turn to YouTube personalities. For example, here&#8217;s one YouTube channel&#8217;s attempt to address what&#8217;s happening to men in this country. This person begins by talking about social media, the rise of dating apps, and the decline of the economy, among other factors. Here&#8217;s her conclusion:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The Male Loneliness Epidemic" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rQv8VuLpKN4?start=1211&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

There&#8217;s a lot of truth to what she&#8217;s saying, obviously. And that video has 1.5 million views in just the last week. You can tell that people are desperate to find answers to this problem, but they can’t look to the corporate media to provide it — or even to acknowledge that the problem exists. What this YouTuber, who goes by the name ShoeOnHead, talks about would go a long way towards explaining the rise of despair, loneliness, and listlessness among men. But she ends her video without offering any solution. So what is the solution, exactly?
That’s where this conversation really starts to break down. To show you what I mean, here’s one corporate media outlet that is willing to acknowledge some of the struggles men face, but the prescription they offer is downright terrible. It would be hilarious if the issue wasn’t so dire. The article from the Washington Post — written by a woman, of course — is impressive in one sense, which is that it manages to reach exactly the wrong diagnosis on every single aspect of the problem. The article is called, &#8220;Men’s groups are embracing an alternative conception of American masculinity.&#8221;
The whole thing reads like parody, so if you&#8217;re able to, check it out immediately. I can&#8217;t recommend it highly enough. The Washington Post wants to give us the real story about why men are lonely and how best to combat the epidemic. What&#8217;s their suggestion? They say dudes should lie around doing breathing exercises and smelling incense while some guy named Rua gropes them and whispers stuff like this:
<blockquote>“I invite you to maybe bring up an intention. How you want to live in this world. How you want to love in this world. How you want to be in this world.”</blockquote>
That&#8217;s not an exaggeration. It&#8217;s a direct quote from the article. The men’s groups that the article profiles are not Bible studies or flag football leagues. They are new age, touchy-feely group hugs, where men learn how to get in touch with their feminine side. Later in the session, the men start screaming and sobbing and letting their emotions &#8220;flow freely&#8221; as they are &#8220;released into the darkness.” The article goes on to quote a bunch of experts who all say the familiar things about how men are lonely and lost because of toxic masculinity that encourages us to be too stoic and reserved, and so forth. It laments the &#8220;cowboy mentality&#8221; that has allegedly contributed to the problem. The masculinity “expert” who coined that phrase is a woman named Niobe Way. 
She of course quickly identifies the real victims in the story of male loneliness: women. She says: 
<blockquote>“Women end up being the therapist for their husband, and more are getting sick of it.” </blockquote>
Yes, God forbid wives have to listen to their husbands and offer them solace and comfort. They’re “sick of it,” says masculinity expert Niobe. This is not a conflicting message at all, is it? On one hand, men need to open up more, but on the other hand, if they do open up then they are putting an unfair burden on their wives, who are being asked to do too much emotional labor. Okay then. By the way, women, if you feel like you’re sick of hearing about your husband’s troubles, just keep in mind that he hears about your’s about a thousand times more often.
Meanwhile, a consultant named Mark Green says this:
<blockquote>&#8220;If a boy expresses too much emotion or too much need for connection, is too giddy, is too joyful, what we say to that boy is, ‘What are you, a sissy? What are you, a girl? What are you, gay?’ It’s your job to dominate those around you, or you will lose status, and that will increase the number of individuals above you who can dish out dominance to you. And what we find is that in that system, in that structure, men are constantly in competition with each other and constantly driven by this sense of anxiety.&#8221;</blockquote>
The problem with this theory is obvious. If a &#8220;cowboy mentality&#8221; and too much macho stoicism is what is driving the epidemic of lost and lonely men, then why is the problem getting worse over time? Everyone agrees it&#8217;s worse now than ever before. I just went through some of the many statistics that prove this. There is a major problem. Men are in bad shape.
But if that is all getting worse, then how can we blame traditional notions of masculinity? There&#8217;s no doubt that it is far less common for boys to be called &#8220;sissies&#8221; these days, or labeled &#8220;gay&#8221; as a pejorative, than it was 50 years ago or at any other time in human history. Indeed historically, the push for a man to be strong, dominant, and unemotional was much more pronounced than it is today. In fact, if a man didn&#8217;t exhibit those traits, then he would die and his whole family would die. It&#8217;s only in recent times that it&#8217;s even been a feasible option for men to be feminine, soft, and in touch with their feelings. And it&#8217;s also in recent times that men have lost all sense of themselves and their purpose and place in the world. 
Speaking of the cowboy mentality, why didn&#8217;t actual cowboys have these problems? If a cowboy mentality leads to despair and suicide, then we should find a whole hell of a lot of it if we look back at the latter half of the 19th century, which was the era of the cowboy. But we find no such thing. The Post’s overall thesis can probably best be summarized in this sentence from the article: 
<blockquote>“American men’s isolation stems in large part from a pervasive cultural belief, experts say: that men should be self-reliant and hide their emotions, especially from other men.”</blockquote>
The absurdity of the premise could not be any clearer. Would anyone argue that the cultural belief that men should be self-reliant and hide their emotions is more pervasive today than it was half a century ago? Of course not. So, again: if that is the cause of the problem, why is the problem worse today? The trends are clearly going the other way. The correlation works entirely in the other direction. As society loses traditional notions of masculinity, suicides increase. This is undeniable. You can try to explain that correlation away all you want, but if you deny it or pretend it doesn’t exist, you lose all credibility in this discussion.
Now, these &#8220;experts&#8221; are correct that men need fellowship, and men are missing it these days. But they even miss the point on that end too, because they encourage men to fellowship in the way that women fellowship. They tell men to sit around and talk about their feelings and so on — do some yoga, listen to soft music, and hold each other and cry. This is not the kind of fellowship men need or want. We can’t expect corporate media’s masculinity experts to understand this, because their masculinity experts are all effeminate. But any normal man can attest that men tend to bond while engaging in a shared activity — usually one that doesn&#8217;t require a lot of talking. Sitting and watching the game. Fishing. Golfing. Playing pickup basketball, and so on.
I went out fishing with my brother-in-law a few weeks ago. When we came back my wife asked me what we talked about. I said we really didn’t talk about much of anything. Mostly we talked about fishing. She was shocked and confused, because women don’t operate this way. But men and women are not the same. And you cannot hope to help men, or offer them any road map out of despair, if you don’t start by acknowledging that basic fact.
When it comes to true male fellowship, the problem is that society has closed off many of the opportunities for this kind of fellowship. There are no men&#8217;s lodges anymore, few bowling leagues and that sort of thing. Most men&#8217;s spaces have either been shut down or feminized. It has been decided that men should socialize like women, and with women, or not at all. This is the message across the board. Society beckons to men and tells them that their salvation is to be women. And then we wonder why so many are killing themselves. We live ultimately in a matriarchal society with institutions either run by women or by effeminate men, who in their arrogance simply cannot accept the fact that men are different from women, and have different needs and desires.
So this is the real problem. It&#8217;s not that men are too focused on masculinity. It&#8217;s that masculinity has been neutered, castrated, driven out of society, leaving men feeling lost and without purpose. Our notions of masculinity aren’t too traditional. On the contrary, they aren’t nearly traditional enough. The solution isn&#8217;t that we sit around and talk about our feelings. It&#8217;s that we do a whole lot less of that sort of thing, and get back to being men again. And if we can be men in a society that embraces and values our masculinity, suddenly this tide of male loneliness and despair will start to ebb. That is the solution. There is no other.

“When you have weak and faulty worldviews and then seductive language, and then you have leaders with unclear voices, you end up in the mess we’re in,” Baucham told Shapiro, pointing out that many Christians did not use critical thinking when discussing terms such as “social justice.” 
As Baucham explained, Christians believe in God’s justice, which is “the righteous and equal application of God’s law, but not equal outcomes.” In 2021, Baucham wrote a book dealing with the subject called “Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism&#8217;s Looming Catastrophe.”
Baucham was raised by a single Buddhist mother in South Central Los Angeles and had tendencies toward black nationalism before he converted to Christianity, which he said completely changed his worldview. He said he was converted after coming to realize that he was a sinner and needed redemption after a man came up to him and shared the gospel. 
Shapiro and Baucham also discussed the crisis of masculinity across the United States, with many young men seeming to struggle to find purpose. 
“We have to call men back to this understanding of manhood that is outside of themselves. And you being a man is not just about who you think you are or even who you want to be. It’s about you pointing back to the one who made you. It’s about you pointing back to the purpose for which [God] made you,” Baucham said. 
He added that the result of the war on marriage and traditional roles left women unprotected because it left men unchecked. 
Baucham explained that young men need mentors to help point them to the “God who made them, and to point them to Christ who wants to redeem that manhood. Christ who is the ultimate picture of manhood.”

After visiting Zambia for many years, Baucham moved there in 2015 to help form African Christian University, which focuses on training students with a Christian worldview and the humanities.
Shapiro asked Baucham about how he responded to people who object to belief in the Bible and God on an intellectual level. Baucham said he would challenge their presuppositions, saying they also needed faith to get where they were.
Their &#8220;presuppositions have been tried before and they’ve led to catastrophe. My [worldview] is based on presuppositions as well, but my presuppositions have led to Western civilization,” Baucham said.

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> sat down with controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate for an explosive interview released Friday.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/owens-x-tate-the-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three-hour sit-down</a>, Owens challenges Tate to answer for some of his most objectionable moments, including his part in filming a pornographic video and running an adult webcam business. The two also discuss topics such as abortion, pornography, transgenderism, and therapy culture.
Owens pushed Tate to explain his past mistakes, and while he expressed embarrassment and regret, he never offered an apology for the adult webcam business or the pornographic video.
“I’m not the kind of person that’s going to sit and apologize for his past. I believe all is well that ends well,” Tate told Owens. “I believe we’re humans, and we grow and we learn. I’d be a fool and I’d be disingenuous to sit here and say I was sorry for something I did in the past, and I’m not going to do that.”
At one point in the interview, Tate emphasized that he doesn’t view himself as a conservative.
“I would never consider myself a conservative from that standpoint. … I don’t wake up and stand there as a conservative figure,” he said.
The former kickboxer also talked about his views on masculinity during the interview and gave his thoughts on why so many young men and boys are drawn to his brazen personality. During the interview, Owens asked Tate about how he handles the popularity and power he has gained.
“Power and responsibility go hand-in-hand, and I do believe that I now have a huge platform, and with young boys, they’re exceptionally interested in my case,” Tate said. “I do believe to a degree I’m an anti-hero. I do believe that the more I’m attacked, the more credibility is given to me in the eyes of my fans.”
Tate, 36, is an American-British viral internet personality with the nickname “Top G,” who is known for his luxurious lifestyle and boasts over seven million followers on Twitter. He became well-known after being removed from Britain’s “Big Brother,” a reality TV show, as reported by the BBC. Since then, he’s grown in popularity and has been criticized by many on both the Left and Right for holding to a brash form of manliness that neglects the traditional definitions of masculine virtue.
In June, Tate made international headlines when he and his brother Tristan were indicted by a Romanian court on charges of rape, forming an organized crime ring to sexually exploit women, and human trafficking. Prosecutors allege Andrew and Tristan began operating a human trafficking ring in 2021, luring seven alleged victims into Romania.
They claim the accused used the “loverboy method,” which means they misled the women into thinking they were in an actual romantic relationship, NBC News reported. Prosecutors also allege Tate and the others coerced the women into taking part in pornography that was later shared on social media, the BBC notes.
The two were initially arrested — along with two alleged co-conspirators — in December and detained in jail until March, when they were placed under house arrest. Tate, his brother, and the two alleged co-conspirators deny all the allegations.

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> dropped an explosive new trailer teasing an interview with the controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate.
The trailer shows a sneak peek of the in-depth conversation between the pair, with topics including Tate’s past controversies and career endeavors, as well as social issues like pornography, abortion, transgenderism, and therapy culture. In the trailer, Owens pushes Tate to answer for some of his most objectionable moments, including his part in filming a pornographic video where he spanked a woman with a belt. At one point in the interview, Owens asks the former kickboxer what his life will look like in the next five years.
“Tomorrow,” Owens posted on Twitter on Thursday with the trailer. “Me x [Andrew Tate]”

Tate, 36, is an American-British viral internet personality with the nickname “Top G” who is known for his luxurious lifestyle and boasts over 7 million followers on Twitter. He became well-known after being removed from Britain’s “Big Brother,” a reality TV show, according to the BBC. Since then, he’s grown in popularity and has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-hosts-dissect-the-good-bad-and-ugly-of-controversial-internet-star-andrew-tate">criticized</a> by many on both the Left and Right for holding to a brash form of manliness that neglects the traditional definitions of masculine virtue.
A topic likely to be discussed during the interview is Tate’s views on masculinity and the role of a man. As alluded to in the trailer, Tate refers to the hindrance that pornography is to men, something Tate took part in during his past through an adult webcam business.
“Pornography as a whole is simply just a tool which is used to ensure that the male populace stays as docile as possible,” Tate tells Owens during the interview. “Pornography is everywhere, and men are struggling with it, but to me, what’s even more upsetting is that these men don’t have enough fortitude and enough mental strength to wake up and say, ‘I’m better than that.’”
Another topic to be discussed during the interview is Tate’s current legal troubles.
In June, Tate made international headlines when he and his brother Tristan were indicted by a Romanian court on charges of rape, forming an organized crime ring to sexually exploit women, and human trafficking. Prosecutors allege Andrew and Tristan began operating a human trafficking ring in 2021, luring seven alleged victims into Romania.

The following is an excerpt from U.S. Senator Josh Hawley&#8217;s new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/168451357X/?tag=regnerywebsite-20">Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs</a>, from Regnery Publishing.
<h2>Love and Hope</h2>
The man who makes war on the evil in his life and sacrifices his own pride opens his life, in the end, to something far more powerful. He opens it to love. Love is the burning center of the warrior’s existence and the secret of all true courage. The warrior loves something dearly and passionately more than himself. He loves his wife and children. He loves his nation. He loves God. And that love makes him strong.
Self-regard, by contrast, is a weak affection. It will consume your life, to be sure, as in the story of Narcissus, who loved his image so completely he wasted his life away staring at it. But it cannot inspire. If your life is relentlessly about you, you will never run toward danger. You will never confront the giants that threaten, whether your finances or your boss or an addiction. You won’t risk incurring the wrath of the powers that be by speaking the truth. You will always try to keep yourself safe, undamaged. And you will always have everything to lose. That way ends in despair and self-contempt.
A man’s conscience is a powerful thing. It will condemn the man who constantly avoids struggle and pain as a coward. But if you will abandon your focus on self, you will find the love that gives courage. And love, in turn, gives birth to hope.
Sometimes courage is portrayed these days as the refuge of the hopeless. J. R. R. Tolkien puts something that sounds like this sentiment into the mouth of Gandalf in his Lord of the Rings saga. “There never was much hope,” Gandalf says, as Sauron’s darkness grows and the quest to destroy the Ring seems to falter. “Just a fool’s hope.” Many have interpreted this passage to mean courage is most noble, most true, when the warrior believes he is doomed to fail. But that is not quite Tolkien’s point, and not the Bible’s either. Tolkien’s heroes soldier on not because they are fatalists, content to be mere pawns of chance. Nor because they are nihilists, believing all to be meaningless. They soldier on because they believe right will prevail. And they believe their lives can make a difference in making it so.
I have known men like this, and seen with my own eyes the power of their hope. In the fall of 2019, the Chinese Communist government in Beijing orchestrated a crackdown on the hitherto independent city of Hong Kong. Displeased with Hong Kong’s autonomy, and Hong Kongers’ (as they call themselves) criticism of the Beijing government, Communist leaders threatened to suspend self-government in the city, contrary to China’s own treaty obligations that guaranteed the city’s special status. In response, protestors took to the streets, only to be met in return by violent police repression. The protestors refused to back down, and the clashes turned bloody.
I was in my first year in the Senate at the time, watching these events unfold from afar. I learned from sources in Hong Kong that the protests were being informally led — it was in many ways truly a spontaneous uprising — by a group of young, very young, men and women. When I heard the accounts of their courage and listened to their pleas for help, I knew I had to go.
I traveled to Hong Kong in October of 2019 to meet with them and see the protests firsthand. The U.S. consulate in the city was less than delighted with my visit. Consulate staff advised beforehand against the trip. Once there, they strongly urged me to keep to my hotel. I politely ignored this advice. I wanted to see the protestors myself, see their courage and their stand, and lend whatever support I could.
One member of my staff had extensive contacts with the protestors. As soon as night fell, we left the hotel and headed toward where we believed, based on his information, the latest clashes between the government and the Hong Kongers were underway. We hailed a cab, but the driver refused to take us more than a few blocks. Eventually we walked, finding our way to the Mong Kok district, usually a bustling shopping and commercial hub, but on that night a battleground. The clashes between pro-Beijing police and the protestors had already turned violent by the time we arrived. A car burned in the street. Protestors were spray-painting “Free Hong Kong” on boarded-up windows. There were people running in every which direction. As we watched, a large group of Hong Kongers began to assemble in the middle of the road, peacefully, carrying signs decrying the crackdown. Suddenly a phalanx of pro-Beijing police in riot gear appeared opposite them, heavily armed. They took to loudspeakers and ordered the crowd to disperse. They threatened to disperse them by force if they did not.
The U.S. government often sends military liaisons with members of Congress when they travel abroad. In this case, at this moment, my military liaison leaned into my ear and said, “Sir, we should back away. If they begin firing into the crowd and we are caught up in it, it could cause an international incident.” He was right. But the protestors did not back away. We stayed too. I wanted to see with my own eyes what would happen. The protestors held their ground, and eventually it was the riot police who turned and moved back. All night long the protests continued, with explosions and violent exchanges in many parts of the city.
I met with the leaders of the protest the next morning. It was an honor. They were startlingly young — only in their early twenties, most of them. Several were veterans of earlier protest movements. A few had already spent time in prison. I promised to report what they were doing to people back in the United States, to explain what they were fighting for.
Why are you willing to face prison? I asked them — and though I did not name it, we all knew what else they faced, the other, ever distinct possibility: death. We love Hong Kong, they said, and we want to see it free. We believe we can be a beacon for the world. They had hope.
They were realistic at the same time. They knew the odds were long. They knew the Beijing government could destroy Hong Kong’s freedoms in a moment, if it chose. But they believed their stand was worth making, even if they did not live to see their cause succeed, because they believed their actions would echo and build and — in time — whether in their lifetimes or another’s, prevail.
That is the courage of hope. And even now, they go on hoping. After the events I witnessed, the Beijing authorities intensified the repression. They forcibly put down the protests. Many of the young people I met that October were later imprisoned or exiled. Yet their hope endures. And the light of that hope — in the right, in God — cannot be extinguished.
God made the world with a plan, to be something — an Eden. And even now that plan is advancing. Every man can play a part. We are born to play a part. That is a hope that pain and death cannot destroy. And a man who gives his life to that hope, and to its Author, will not be disappointed.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> man allegedly killed his own mother because she never &#8220;pushed&#8221; him to &#8220;be a man.&#8221;
The Osceola County, Florida, Sheriff&#8217;s Department responded to a report of a possible stabbing in the city of Kissimmee just after 4 p.m. local time on Tuesday. Upon arriving at the residence, police found a woman dead, and another woman with severe lacerations on her hands. Police later arrested the suspect, who confessed to stabbing his mother to death.
<div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xdj266r x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">
&#8220;On November 29, 2022, at approximately 4:13 PM, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a possible stabbing at a residence in Kissimmee,&#8221; the sheriff&#8217;s office wrote in a statement on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/osceolasheriff/posts/pfbid0zWmoyvuqzHXMHv3wqW1ZYauy1mw6rKue7sDPygs7MKBtipNEkPYnDG3cNeCvKoUhl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facebook</a>. &#8220;Upon arrival, it was determined that one female was deceased, and another female had severe lacerations to her hands.&#8221;
A motion for pre-trial detention from Florida&#8217;s Ninth Judicial Circuit Court, obtained by <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-man-confesses-killing-mom-never-pushed-man-authorities-say-rcna59820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, revealed that the suspect&#8217;s sister was the one who was injured.
“The victim heard their mother screaming for her life,&#8221; the documents stated. &#8220;When the victim came out of her room, she observed the defendant stabbing their mother multiple times with a kitchen knife,” the motion said. “The victim attempted to intervene and sustained multiple deep lacerations to her hands from the defendant cutting her.”
Shortly after police arrived on the scene, they located the suspect, identified as Matthew Stewart Sisley, a short distance away from the home. The suspect was taken to the Sheriff&#8217;s Office, where he confessed to intentionally stabbing his mother and accidentally stabbing his sister.
The sheriff&#8217;s office released a partial transcript of the interview:
<blockquote>Detective: “Do you think your mom deserved to get stabbed?”
Suspect: “Yes.”
Detective: “Why?”
Suspect: “Because she never pushed me to be a man.”
Detective: “Do you regret doing it?”
Suspect: “No. I would do it again.”</blockquote>
Police went on to state that the suspect had been booked into the Osceola County Jail on the charge of domestic aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Additional charges would follow.
NBC News reported that as of Friday, the suspect was still in jail; an additional charge of premeditated murder had been added to his record. The suspect&#8217;s bond was set at $0; prosecutors in the motion for pre-trial detention had asked the court to hold the suspect without bail, NBC News added.
Elsewhere in Florida, a Jacksonville Sheriff&#8217;s Officer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-release-footage-of-florida-cop-who-cant-swim-saving-infant-from-drowning" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saved the life</a> of an infant drowning in a retention pond in June. Video posted by the JSO on Facebook showed Officer Me’Atia Sanderson rushing to help the child, pulling him out of the water, then performing CPR until paramedics arrived.
“As a patrol officer in Zone 4 (Westside), Ofc. Sanderson was working on June 9th of this year when JSO and the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department were dispatched to an infant drowning in a retention pond,&#8221; the office captioned the video. &#8220;Sanderson was the first to arrive on scene and was alerted that the infant was still in the water. Ofc. Sanderson, who does not know how to swim herself, without a second’s hesitation, entered the pond to retrieve the child and performed CPR until she was relieved by other responding officers. Her actions, while putting her own life at risk, undoubtedly saved the child’s life.”

There’s no shortage today of articles on “toxic masculinity.” In fact, a full-length CBS documentary titled &#8220;Speaking Frankly: Raising Boys&#8221; asks if there is “a better way to raise boys to avoid toxic masculinity?”
The documentary details the trials and tribulations of parents who want to protect their sons from the horrors of traditional masculinity. The main thrust is that boys in our culture are broken, and it’s our outdated and “disturbing” notions of masculinity that broke them.
This is all wrong.
The people interviewed for these articles and documentary are perpetuating the very problem they say they want to solve. The real toxic thing is the attitude and approach they embody. Traditional masculinity is not at fault here. What’s at fault is the confused and contradictory attempt to dismantle it.
A few points. First, you’re starting on the wrong foot if you’re using a phrase like “toxic masculinity.” In practice, it seems that toxic masculinity can either refer to traditionally masculine traits that are now wrongly regarded as harmful, or actually harmful traits that are often associated with men. If it’s used in the first sense, it’s obviously degrading and damaging because it tells men that their natural masculine dispositions are somehow disordered. I’ll get back to that in a moment.
In the second sense, it unfairly blames masculinity for bullying or narcissistic behavior that has no gender. If you don’t understand why men might take issue with this approach, just imagine how almost any woman would react if I said that gossipy, materialistic bimbos have “toxic femininity.” That would be, at the very least, an unnecessarily inflammatory way of addressing the problem of materialistic bimbos. But worse than that, it would suggest that femininity, taken to a toxic extreme, results in dumb bimbos who spend their husbands’ money on shoes and purses. It seems to say: “It’s okay to be a woman, but don’t be too womanly.” Of course, nobody ever does talk about toxic femininity. And the reason we don’t talk about it is because we recognize how insulting and demeaning the concept is. We have simply decided that it’s okay to be insulting and demeaning toward men.
Second, there is nothing wrong with telling boys that men “behave a certain way.” There’s nothing wrong with telling them to be strong or encouraging them to exercise control over their emotions. Obviously these messages can be delivered the wrong way, but the fundamental point is good and important. The problem in our culture isn’t that boys are being thrown in a “box” or forced to conform to some strict notion of masculinity. In fact, our problem is exactly the opposite.
Too many boys are given no instructions on how to be men, no example to follow, no guidance on how to grow and mature in their masculinity. Some folks seem to think we’re living in the 1940s. They haven’t noticed that the era of the Strong and Stoic Man ended a long time ago. We’re living now in the era of drag queens and feminism, of gender fluidity and fatherless homes. Most boys these days have no clue how to be men, no idea about what to do with their masculine energy, because nobody has ever told them or shown them.
The fact of the matter is this: most boys are born with a propensity to “behave a certain way.” There’s a reason why nearly every civilization throughout history and across the world has come to remarkably similar conclusions about what men are supposed to do and what role they are supposed to fill. They didn’t all arbitrarily and coincidentally invent the same “social construct.” No, they noticed that men are naturally aggressive, and so they said that men should be warriors. They noticed that men are naturally stronger than woman, and so they said that men should be protectors. They noticed that men have a greater propensity and desire to leave their homes and go out into the wild, and so they said that men should be hunters and providers. They noticed that boys have lots of physical energy, and so they came up with sports for the boys to play. The point is that societies, until recently, have not invented masculinity but harnessed it. They said to boys: “This is how you naturally are, and that’s good. Now here is how you can best put those tendencies and abilities to use for yourselves, your families, and your communities.”
Now we insist, despite all evidence to the contrary, that boys are not naturally inclined to act in any particular way. Or worse, we say that their natural inclinations are toxic. This results, in the best case scenario, with boys who are given no road map to follow into adulthood; no direction for becoming well adjusted and contributing men. In the worst case scenario, it results in parents, teachers, politicians, etc., who set out to directly and intentionally break a boy’s spirit and destroy his masculinity like it’s some kind of cancer. This is done with psychiatric drugs, hormone pills, brainwashing sessions with drag queens at the library, or any number of equally insidious ways.
If boys are disproportionately struggling in the school system — and they are — is it because the school system is forcing them into a box of rigid masculinity? Obviously not. If boys in school are put in any box, it’s a box for girls. The school system requires students to sit still for long periods of time, remain calm, memorize information, etc. These are all things that girls naturally do well. The problem for boys is not that they are forced to be masculine, but that they are not allowed to be masculine.
Consider also how boys are apt to punch each other when they get angry, whereas girls are more inclined to cut each other down verbally. The verbal attacks often have a psychological impact that vastly outweighs and outlasts the momentary pain of a bloody lip, yet boys who cause bloody lips can get expelled while girls who give each other emotional complexes that last into adulthood are let off with a stern warning — if there is even any punishment at all. Once again, the system comes down like a ton of bricks on masculine expression while making all the room in the world for feminine expression. A similar dynamic can be found throughout our society. If there’s any rigid gender construct being forced on boys and men, it’s a feminine one. After all, we are the first civilization in human history that has attempted to literally turn boys into girls. And yet we’re told that traditional masculinity is the problem? Madness.
As I have argued in the past, if we really want to help boys, we need to accept them for who they are, as boys, and help them to grow in that identity. Our message to boys should be this: “You are a boy. That is good. That is what you are meant to be. And one day you will be a man. We will tell you how. We will show you the way.” Direction and guidance. That is what our boys need. Not confusion, ambiguity, and self-loathing. Which is all they seem to get from our society these days.
