Men Without Chests

Are you a man without a chest? Maybe you are and you don't even know it. Have you ever thought about honor? Can you define it? If you were in a public place and heard gun shots, whould you run from away from them or would you run towards them? Is self-preservation your primary motivation in life? Can you name anything that you think is worth dying for?

My Problem with Feminism

If the feminists sole concern was equality between men and women I would have no problem with feminism. But feminism has moved beyond the singular issue of equality. Equality is not good enough. Today's feminists, after spending half a century trying to imitate men, have set a new tack. Having failed to shape themselves into the men of their envy, they are now focused on shaping men into their image.

With a constant barrage of brain-washing propaganda from the media and from educational institutions, men are rapidly becoming less then they were. They are becoming more like women. Is this a bad thing? All you have to do is look around and witness the harm that has come from the change. Traditional manly traits are not valued as they used to be. Honor, humility, courage... traits that used to define a man are considered to be without value. They are outdated. Values that once were of little concern to most women are now of little concern to most men.

What We Are Giving Up

Humility. In its place we get fat-headed sports stars who love to blow their own horn as much as their boundless egos allow. We get politicians who try their best to destroy their opponents on a personal level instead of promoting their own ideas. TThese days there is no value placed on an apology. Instead a humbling gesture is viewed as a sign of weakness.

Courage. In its place we have leaders who shun the truth to keep from hurting feelings. We get men who run from a crime instead of running towards it. Gone are the days when men feel it their personal responsibility to protect the weak, to thwart lawlessness and prevent injustices.

Men Are Primarily To Blame

Let's face it, as men we are the ones who have surrendered our manhood to the feminists. We have taken almost everything that are forefathers found sacred and tossed it aside. Our feministic society has convinced us that we don't need those things any longer. And either through lack of courage, or lack of realization we have capitulated. We have stopped teaching our sons what it means to be men, we leave it up to society. Society despises manly characteristics and is doing everything it can to demonize and de-evaluate these characteristics so that our sons are raised to be more like women then men.

Another facet of the problem is that we are handing over roles an responsibilities, that were traditionally managed by men, to women. Leadership in faith is a major issue, but leadership in government is the area that affects our nation in a broad manner. Don't misunderstand me, I think their are women that exist that make good governmental leaders. I just don not think that there are very many of them. The kind of women that typically grab for this type of power are not the type of women who make good leaders. I'm generalizing a bit here, but I challenge anyone reading this to look at the women who hold positions of power in this country. Size up their qualities, both strengths and weaknessess and give an honest evaluation of what you see. Dishonest, hateful, haughty, and unprincipled are the traits that I see in most of these women (all but a very few).

But how are men any different? These days they literally are not different. It is time for men to step up and start acting like men again. By embracing and demonstrating manly values, the bar will be raised. It will be raised too high for all but the most qualified people who seek public office... both men and women. To make this happen we have to start retraining our boys, teaching them what they need to know to become good men.

I decided to revive this website after the 2nd shooting at Virginia Tech... the massacre. I was saddened by the loss of innocent life, just like every other sane person. But I was also saddened and amazed by the total inability of hundreds of young men, who were victimized by the gunman, to stand up and defend themselves. I don't think they were cowards but rather that they were never taught that men are supposed to rise up and face lawlessness. Instead of running to save oneself, good men run to save others.

I am not blaming the men who were there a single bit. I think they are blameless because they have been taught their whole lives to exist as sheep in a pen. They picture themselves as weak and vulnerable (like women have traditionally viewed themselves in the face of danger). Instead of confronting danger they cower and wait for somebody to save them. What we should learn from VA Tech is that there often is no authority figure around to offer us protection. In such instances ordinary men must step up to protect the innocent and to ensure the rule of law. Otherwise evil wins the day which often equates to the death or persecution of innocent people. It is time for us to start teaching our boys how they should act in the face of evil. This is how we can eventually prevent another disaster like what happened at VA Tech.
