I'm constantly being told by corporate media, political activists, and entertainment creators that masculinity is evil, dangerous, and needs to be lessened, even feminized. I'm told that masculinity is toxic and that we need to teach boys early on that their more boyish mannerisms should be curbed and tamped down in order to be better and help make a more equal society.

Meanwhile, as my fellow men and I are villainized for merely existing as we are, we're given examples to emulate. We're shown men who are less aggressive, more caring, softer, empathetic, and focused on equality. This is the enlightened male. He's gentle and supportive. He listens and makes is open about his emotions.

He is the male feminist, and according to the mainstream left, he should be the ultimate goal for every man to be. //

The fact is, we're often told masculinity is a form of evil that has to be checked, but it's pretty obvious that a lack of masculinity causes a real issue, not just for society in general, which needs masculinity to function properly, but it causes an issue within men. When it's not present, something goes wrong, like a loose gear or a burnt out wire. These men suddenly become unmanly. They abuse women and display both emotional and physical cruelty to them.

The lack of masculinity is the issue, not the presence of it.

As usual, the proof is right in front of us, but it's highly unlikely that mainstream leftism will ever admit to it, which is par for the course. //

As you can see, there is a well-established pattern here. Make people believe you are a caring, empathetic man who understands the plight of women and will stand up for them. You will use your masculinity, not for the toxicity you see men often accused of, but to advance the cause of "equality." Then the facade drops and it's discovered that you're actually a massive piece of garbage.
