Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why Leftists Hate Masculinity By Salvatore DeGennaro

An ongoing mantra of the left is that everyone is a victim, with a singular carve-out for white men. A large group of the female population has embraced this chant.

While there may be a number of grievances put forth by this movement, there also comes a theme that is particularly dangerous: the feminist attack on masculinity. This is derived not only from feminists; it comes from the left in general.

There has emerged a war on masculinity. Why? Because masculine men are harder to control under tyrannical socialism. The modern beta male, on the other hand, craves socialism. This is why the left has branded masculinity as toxic: it stands as a roadblock to their endgame.

Leftists blame, of all things, masculinity for the recent spate of sexual harassment scandals. For eons, masculinity has been considered a natural and even required trait of being male, but it is now apparently the reason for deviancy. Who knew?

The glaring problem with this argument is that the men who are typically being accused of such transgressions are anything but masculine. Sexual harassment is bipartisan; both liberal and conservative men in positions of power seem to harass women with aplomb. But where is this referenced masculinity? Harvey Weinstein? Al Franken? Louis CK? I posit that a consistent theme among most accused harassers is a complete lack of masculinity. I would go so far as to suggest that the lack of masculinity is a contributing factor to this problem.

Most of these accused public figures are modern men – perhaps not quite beta males, but certainly closer to Obama's now infamous Pajama Boy than they are to John Wayne. Are men who display a lack of masculinity less likely to victimize women? Obviously not. But the left does not let reason or rationality interfere with an opportunity to degrade social decency or further its collectivist agenda.

The feminist hatred for masculinity is only another tool in the toolbox of communism. Masculinity tends to make a man individualistic. Individualistic men are capitalists, not communists. They are men who cherish individual liberty, and they rely on themselves rather than on government. Self-reliance is a four-letter word for leftists, and masculine men are generally self-reliant. Beta males like Pajama Boy rely on government, and such modern men, devoid of any semblance of masculinity, are ideal for leftist indoctrination.

Were the frontiersmen communists or capitalists? How about the cowboys? How about the Navy SEALs or Army Rangers? Sure, the press may find in the military a few Che Guevara t-shirt-wearing idiots and parade them all over the place, but I am willing to bet that the majority of SEAL Team 6 comprises masculine capitalists.

What games do young boys play? They pretend to be cowboys. They pretend to be soldiers. They don't pretend to be soviet textile workers slaving under Stalin's system. They don't pretend to be entitled Millennial brats who congregate at Starbucks and talk about the wonders of socialism, either. Most boys hit the ground embracing masculinity. Some maintain it, but many have it berated out of them by the weak society they walk in or by their leftist parents.

Masculinity leads a man to seek to better himself in many regards, while collectivism thrives on mediocrity. Collectivism in this country is sought by the lazy who don't want to work but feel entitled to free handouts of all kinds. Unfortunately, collectivism is also touted by many who are successful, such as middle-class suburbanites who feel guilty for what they have achieved through hard work while others have not been so fortunate. Yet, when suggesting that the redistribution effort begins with their own 401(k)s, seldom will you find volunteers. Collectivism is also cheered on by certain billionaire hypocrites who made their wealth through capitalism yet now tout the wonders of socialist systems. The irony.

While these social groups appear quite different, there is a common trait among the men in all of them: no masculinity to be found. Be it the lanky hipster in skinny jeans or the billionaire hypocrite, imposing is not one of their descriptions. The billionaire may travel everywhere with a fleet of personal security, but he has no strength of body and apparently little strength of character. Are there plenty of physically weak men who are capitalists? Absolutely. Capitalism is not dependent on machismo or charisma. However, few alphas are socialist, and self-reliance is a collectivism-killer. That is why the left finds masculinity toxic.

The denigration of masculinity is high on the leftist agenda. The pushing of acceptance of the "transgender" movement is the latest machination in this crusade. This fosters further blurring of male masculinity and female femininity, and the plight of a small group of people who wrestle with this issue has become a politically polarizing topic – a tool maximized by the left. Masculinity is maligned as a trait of the bigot, not as a desirable trait among men, as it once was. The goal is to foster an entirely androgynous society that makes no distinction between male and female. This breeds a culture more easily shaped by the almighty state.

The left's war on masculinity should come as no surprise. The cultures in history that have resisted oppressive regimes in the past have celebrated masculinity rather than demeaned it.

There is an often quoted poem that sums up a society's life cycle: "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times." The abundance of weak men in our society is ushering in those hard times, and it is celebrated by the left every step of the way.

The eradication of masculinity from our society will ultimately result in the elimination of all resistance to tyranny. Freedom-loving males know this, and women who believe in individual capability rather than dependence on the government also know it. Remember: subjugation of all to a collectivist regime is the ultimate goal, and branding masculinity as toxic is one of many pieces in the game.

true

"The abundance of weak men in our society is ushering in those hard times, and it is celebrated by the left every step of the way."........... Oh; but it's the "New Normal", don't cha know?

Big ole +1 , look at many of todays young lads raised without a strong father figure . Still lots of strong young lads but it's easy to see the growing numbers of metro/x-box/liberal/smart phone males .

I have met many who have never did anything outdoors - rarely left the sidewalk .

Like I mentioned the other day many of them are open minded to getting to go shooting and other outdoor things - they just don't know where to start .
I took two early 20's lads who work in a doughnut shop shooting a while back , then to my hunting lease and filled the feeders etc. - they loved it and want to go again . I'm injured right now but will take them again , and one of their friends wants to go now . Reminded them my truck can only haul 3 - they said they would drive and help pay for ammo .

I pointed out some things that President Trump is doing that will make their lives better [get rid of O'care/no muslim leaches etc .] - they seemed to like what they were hearing .
I go in for a coffee/doughnut they come out of the woodwork to talk to me because no one has EVER did anything for them like this.

It's up to us to turn them around - nobody else is going to do it . Take the time to strike up a conversation with some of the lads that might look like a punk - remember that quite possibly he's never had any guidance in life other than a liberal mom and the tv/web .

Thanks Shootinurse and Salvatore DeGennaro not anything I didn't already know but it's nice to see it in print . ..............................

With each gain the leftist make, the US becomes "California" in the eyes of the rest of the world.

It's the lack of morality the left harbors. We should all fight to end abortion and go from there.

It's time the US depart from being the baby-killers we've become.

Ok, how do we fight this? This fight is not every 4 years for president, it is for EVERY election. It is at school board meetings, it is instilled in your kids. Teach your boys to: never hit a woman, make sure you can make enough money to take care of you and your future family, work hard, learn all you can, shoot straight, catch fish, make your own things, be faithful to your mate, don't do drugs or get drunk, go to church (I prefer an evangelical protestant church), that capitalism is the best system bar none, the least government is the best government.

Consider the left has the media behind them, which means it will take more than just talk, seeing how the media will just shout people down, in the rare case they entertain opposing views, which is not often.

I question whether there are enough men and women in the country today able to stomach what it will take to make meaningful change to the lieberal perspective.

We just have to chip away at them like they're doing to us , steal the youth away from them one at a time or in big groups if you can .

Too many people only worry about their kids , I know a bunch of folks like that around here . As long as their kids get lots of stuff and get to do any and everything they figure they have did a good job . There's big numbers of lads like I spoke of , who can be turned into gun liking outdoorsmen if the opportunity came along .

Boy the author really connected the dots.

I'm reminded that if what you're seeing doesn't make any sense to you, you're not looking at it from the right perspective. It makes sense to someone, somewhere, the trick is rooting it out.

Leftists need to be dick slapped.

Look for even more pajama boy social programming.

ol Sam Keen from the great white north (who?) wrote about all of this years ago. it's been simmering for a spell. Fire in the Belly comes to mind. but, society is no longer set up to recognize, appreciate, and encourage fire in the belly. just the opposite now, just be lemmings.. go to work, pay taxes, and follow orders. i'll stop at that.

I'm going with Occam's razor as far as why many "feminists" think the way they do. They're not down on masculinity, they just hate men in general.

10,000 years ago or so when the climate changed, (look it up), the world of humans switched from being a matriarchy system to a patriarchy system. the sahara desert formed from beautiful pristine forests, no? things became more difficult in general for humans to survive. so, the system shifted to a patriarchy. it's all in the records, just do a bit of research if you doubt.

the Urth is shifting, and the dinosaurs couldn't compete. the humans are organizing perpetually in order to adapt.

fly up to about 50,000 feet or at least to 30,000 feet and look around. everybody wants to survive, men & women & children, and the livestock & the wildlife.

but how best to organize in order to best assure the survival of the human species? does anyone know for sure?

You know a male puppy squats to piss like a girl dog until he figures out he's a boy dog then begins to hike his leg to piss, aint you glad we were taught to hike our legs to piss? ;]

They hate us and I saw one at a quick trip store last Thanksgiving a year ago, an old woman with a cane and what appeared to be a near paralyzed left arm, she was walking really bent too, I held open the door for her on my way out, she sneered, changed the cane to her bad arm and yanked the other door open and went inside.

Blew my skirt tail up for sure, Damn!

Things started going to hell when they started putting diaper changing tables in public men's rooms!

its a stupid strategy to to gain more political grounds, a lot of women for many years don't get involved in Politics, many do not even vote or consider themselves socially influential but what if they do ? and can into politic? and vote for someone that shares common interested ? i believe that's the idea but a friends of mine think its part of some kinda illuminatti feminine worship thing. Lols

men from mars and women from venus are trying to adapt to life as humans on the urth. the universal energy is trying to find the best way forward. first there was the matriarch in charge, then the climate changed. the sahara became a desert, a big one. then the world became harder to live & survive in. the patriarchy overthrew the matriarch as a way to adapt and adjust to a harsher climate (left the garden of eden?).

anyways, here we are 10,000 years later, and the matriarchy is once again lobbying for a good chair at the table.

and why not? we all know where we are, but few know what best to do next.

what a pile of [bleep] storm, men are not from mars and women are not from Venus...the feminism [bleep] is all political.
