The men of today, both young and old,
have been poisoned, it seems. Poisoned by the feminist doctrine that has
been mixed into every social expression, event, and philosophy.
Poisoned by the erasing of distinctions between the sexes. Poisoned by
the need to be nonthreatening and never, ever overtly masculine. Poisoned by the need to be liked by their own children and grandchildren – liked like schoolyard chums, I mean.
The males of today have a horror of many
things; the horror of not being a man does not seem to be listed in the
catalog of fears.
When we left the restaurant, I felt that
odd combination of bewilderment and determination that always
accompanies epiphany. Now that I have named and described this behavior
in my own mind, I will be keenly aware of it. And I will also be
vigilant to see if any men alive today know how to talk properly to a
boy. I want to know if men today realize that the lads under their gaze
are future men, men who (God willing) will one day have their own lads
to tend.
The comments are worth the time to read them, too.
