West Point Tackles 'Toxic Masculinity': “I’m being taught how not to be a man.”

 

This country has gone to the dogs. 
“I’m going to quit West Point. It’s no longer teaching me to be a leader of men. It’s teaching me how to be a victim,” said one cadet. “I’m being taught how not to be a man,” another added. “The real bias we need to talk about [is] why it’s scandalous to be conservative in a professional environment but ‘brave’ to follow the crowd and be liberal,” yet another cadet wrote. A fourth reported that “The guest speaker had us all make a black power sign and yell, ‘Fight the power!'”  
If you are a good, committed cultural Marxist and your mission is to help dismantle the cultural, economic, and power structures in the capitalist West from within, how do you undertake such a grand task? How do you subvert an entire civilization? You undermine its foundations, and the most basic building block of all is the nuclear family. To deconstruct the family successfully, you must subvert masculinity, because masculinity is the warrior spirit of that nuclear family. To emasculate a civilization, you indoctrinate its youth to believe that the natural traits typically associated with masculinity – such as aggression, competitiveness, and emotional self-control – are poisonous to society and even to boys and men themselves. You convince men – especially society’s warriors – to reject their very nature altogether.

  1. Hi Brock,

    Just read thru the article.... Noted the first entry in the discussion/comments by "No Bread or Circuses"... 'Hit the nail square on the head!!!

    One thing about being "OLD!!!," I can say,"I remember when!!".....
    "When".. "MEN were Men and WOMEN were PROUD OF IT!!!"(I'm 74 now!!) Our Mothers, Grandmothers and Aunts guided us young boys to be MEN!! Men like the Men they Praised, Admired, Married and bore Children with!!! Men the likes of Marion Morrison, George S. Patton, Robert Mitchum and on!!!! OH yes, also Robert Rouark and his 2 Grandfather's that he wrote of in "Tales of the Old Man and the Boy!!" I can go on, but we know the drill!!!

    Meanwhile, back at the ranch, it's obvious that there needs to be some serious "house cleanin'" to do at "West Point" and beyond!!!
    BTW "IT'S OK TO BE A MAN!!!" "IT'S OK TO BE A WHITE MAN!!!!" And I'm not standing down from my attitude!!!!!!!

    I look to the right side of the page here and there's Don William's .. asking the quintessential question!!!! Is there an answer?? And people wonder why I drink???
