We used to venerate men like the entire shift of 15 firefighters from Midtown’s Engine 54/Ladder 4/Battalion 9, whose fading photographs still face the heedless crowds on Eighth Avenue.
Men with families to live for, who rushed to their deaths on 9/11, because they believed in a system of honor and duty, in which they were destined to be guardians of the community; men like Battalion Chief Edward Geraghty, 45, firefighters Alan Feinberg, 48, Jose Guadalupe, 37, Leonard Ragaglia, 36, Michael Lynch, 30, Christopher Santora, 23, and fellow heroes.
Now their inheritors show up at emergencies and the public throws bottles of urine at them. Social-justice warriors and their eager media accomplices smear cops every day as racists and murderers. #ACAB (“All cops are bastards”) is their favorite hashtag.
We pathologize manly virtues and bow to the tyranny of identity politics that seeks power by overthrowing a make-believe patriarchy. We raise boys in a soup of reproach and negativity that tells them their intrinsic nature is diseased.
“Traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful,” the American Psychological Association declared in 2019. These were the masculine attributes it listed as diseased: “stoicism, competitiveness, dominance, aggression, anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk and violence.”
The only acceptable man now is a man who wants to be a woman.

The trouble is that no-one wants to stick his or her head above the parapet, because knowing that he or she will be immediately labelled as a fellow traveller of the ones accused and cancelled first.
I believe that is what is called cowardice, a predominate trait in Canadian men these days. It is time that we men, cancelled the evil people who are destroying our country, society and freedom.
“I believe that is what is called cowardice, a predominate trait in Canadian men these days”
Bingo! THAT is the problem.
It’s easier to give in…
Zero Balls…
You either standup for your convictions…
Or not…
My entire family is pissed with me right now because I refuse to wear a mask and go to my daughters university graduation ceremony
This is the same university that mandated my child to forced death injections and the health killing of trying to breathe while wearing a mask that does no good…
I hate them all who forced this evil shit on everyone..
I will not be going…
I am not a slave…
I want to see them all hang…
YES.
That’s why I thank God for the truckers.
And your really a hunk of meat in a walking suit to the predatory animals in water and on land.
I guess it could be worse…
We could adopt and ownership society based on imaginary money that deflates in purchasing power.
And have politicians creating laws and policies that handcuffs its citizens.
Oh crap…we have…
I like this world. Those of us who are still men have an unlimited supply of ladies who while saying all the right things, still want a real man for themselves, and we are in short supply.
I know a lot who’d rather have a Prinz Dummkopf than, say, a John Wayne or Chuck Norris.
There are plenty of *women* who fit that description, but far fewer genuine Ladies…
The difference is important. One of the distinguishing characteristics is that they do *not* repeat politically correct lies to fit in.
Both of my kids:
2 Gorgeous Daughters 29 – 31, Both living with good Real MEN….
One a 4th yr Plumber and the other Sales Mgr for a Hyundai Dealership. Both put in 10 hrs + a day.
Their Dad was over the years: Welder/Fitter, Pipe Fitter, Sales Rep for ESAB Automation, Level II Welding Inspector – QA Inspector in the Oil Sands. Renovated 2 houses, Self Mechanic’d more than my share of vehicles..There’s never been an ounce of man bunned soi boy, queer or gender indecision in me throughout my entire life. That entire lot simply disgusts me.
A Pussy hound till I found my Bride with whom I am still Proudly married to 32 yrs.
As for the utter Bullshit of “Toxic Masculinity”…? Pure Garbage used to justify the above weirdos existance.
And I don’t give a rats ass if ANY of that offends ANYONE.
Good Morning Steakman
I agree whole heartedly with you here. This “Toxic Masculinity ” is utter nonsense.
It is also true that there are few genuine Ladies out there….as per 26 year old son.
Gutless cowards is about right…..
“The only acceptable man now is a man who wants to be a woman.”
That is right. When they plaintively ask, “what is a woman”, the answer is, “a man that hasn’t become one yet.” Anything a woman can do, a man can do better, especially at being a woman.
Thank goodness that I am old.
“Traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful,” the American Psychological Association declared in 2019.

Most of these deemed unacceptable traits are the traits of natural born leaders, or alpha males.
I guess when your goal is to produce sheep, having rams in the flock is undesirable.
We are reserving our right to act for our families and close friends. I have no interest in engaging otherwise and neither the resources nor willingness to solve other’s issues. Not very charitable but my experience has taught me it is the wiser path at the moment.
Watch an Ottawa TV News “man on the street” interview. About 4 chances out of 5 that it’ll be some squeaky geek with a eurofag scarf around his pencil neck. My wife just shakes her head and says “You can laugh, but where would a young woman go to find a man? Seriously? “
My daughter went on vacation to Chile and met a great man- an engineer, good looking, wears black leather and drove a motor-cycle. When his company relocated them to Canada, he sold his motorcycle and gave the money to his parents to put an addition (which he designed) onto their house.
Just a great guy who adores my daughter (she adores him!) He had great friends in Chile, so I would recommend to young women to take a vacation in Santiago.
Slaw has it pegged.
We are pulled right back from “Society” preferring the company of sane persons.
For it is no skin off my nose if you want to castrate yourself.
What amuses me,is the empty headed insistence that “I must agree,with the latest new thing” coming from the State Propagandists..
Just because some fool says “This is so” does not make it so.
Ignoring such idiots is claimed,by them,as agreement.
The chaos is very hard on pre-adults,especially those without solid parents,however “men” are not gone,no matter what parasitic organizations such as the American Psychological Association may proclaim.
Thomas Sasz described what was to come from those idiots back in the 1980s..They want to define everything as an illness,so that they might be seen as mighty..Instead of the bedwetting fools they had become.
Survival trumps all.
We win by existing.
And these frightened children hate us for that.
All the words and Feelz in the universe mean nought if you fail to feed the future.
Lumping cops in with firefighters is disingenuous, as the Texas shooting demonstrated.
Just so, NBC claims Biden’s lies and gaffes are a strength. Nonetheless, American’s are coming to realize they elected a moron.

We didn’t elect him.
emotionalism, a female characteristic, too often see in so called men today
“Toxic masculinity” has given these wastrels the lives they have today. Real men built countries from the infrastructure up, defied global bullies and allowed others live as they would. This includes the weaklings who would have starved to death had it not been for “toxic” males.
Ingratitude is also a sign of societal decay.
“The only acceptable man now is a man who wants to be a woman.”
And the only acceptable woman now is a woman who makes way for a man (who says he’s a woman).
