The War On Masculinity

Blue Booties, Pink Hats and the War on Masculinity

In the never-ending battle for America's soul, the newly endangered institution of common sense, the problem isn't toxic masculinity. The problem is toxic insecurities; that insufferable transference of implied guilt born from a weak victimization mentality. The innate differences between men and women are not a sexist conspiracy intended to define or limit our aspirations, abilities, for what we ultimately become is of our own volition. Our biological distinctions are evolutionary attributes designed to instinctively protect and proliferate our species. And while it is true each sex possesses unique strengths or generally unequal capacities, these delineations serve as symbiotic reminders we are "stronger together" when we reject Hillary Clinton's quest to dissect humanity through the social justice cross-hairs of gender warfare.

If boyish lesbians are celebrated for their adopted masculinity - "feminists" typically obsessed with seeking the physical appearance of their gender identity to, ironically, "balance" their sexual relationships - why are men now negatively stereotyped for exercising their natural inclination for contact sports, action movies, fast cars, shooting a gun or passionately defending their political convictions; whose freedom of expression, by the way, is now negatively stigmatized as "mansplaining". Apparently your father or brother's opinions are entirely contingent upon whether or not their genitals tip the weighted scales of acceptable "conservative" baggage. As long as millennial women are fatally triggered because a majority of people instinctively use a masculine reference to describe God, despite the biblical account man was theoretically fathered in his image, then please express equal offense at the countless instances "her" is used to describe one's car, America or Bruce Jenner's androgynous hypnotherapist named Billy LeDisco. After all, dressing and acting like a man no more turns Paris Hilton, a natural born female, into J.J. Watt than wearing a dress and lipstick magically transforms Charles Manson into Mother Teresa; no matter how many hormone injections or plastic surgeries someone receives.

Honestly, how does the mere utterance of a pronoun - the sex of an author, a cook or your dog - hinder or change your life for the better? Does crying over God's "assumed" appendage alter "science" or the eternal blessings of love, forgiveness or faith? Fair treatment begins by realizing "equality" is oblivious to your political desire to reject or redefine the real world according to your prejudices; a veiled attempt to compensate for your own inadequacies. Likewise, reducing God's relevance to a genetic marker, a chromosomal precursor of a baby's sex that more and more "educated" progressives believe no longer exists, is as inane as claiming criminal intent is incumbent upon one's gender. If Americans spent more time embracing the universal wisdom of the Scriptures in lieu of perverting the Bible to fit their morally skewed beliefs, chivalry would not require a permit to wake Sleeping Beauty from her cursed slumber without her consent. Yes, believe it or not, many of the most overtly, masculine archetypes are also some of the most respectful and protective gentlemen due to their strong, demanding upbringing. 

When your own hyper-sensitive insecurities cannot escape the cultural black hole known as political correctness and therefore fail to process the harmless nuances of human interaction, you literally live every minute of every day being offended by the truth; that inedible garnish touching your imaginary vegan steak. It also means you probably lack the ability to discern mischief from malice. How does the immature act of a Navy Pilot leaving a penis plume in the sky draw more outrage than naked activists publicly threatening the President and screaming profanities in front of children; many times their own, no less? Dare I even mention the thousands of "empowered" female sex workers and nude models using social media to willingly objectify themselves for a buck and forever warp the mental health and sexual behavior of young kids? And to think we're still talking about tyranny of God's 'kibbles and bits', marginalizing our savior and his 7.6 billion distinct, sovereign children to the non-descript pacifier of "it".

America would be a far more inviting if political pundits and triggered feminists spent more time focusing on their own lives and personal "transgressions" in place of policing the sociological intricacies of individual discretion. "Equality" is not achieved by attempting to coerce "respect" or by forcing others to acquiesce to your subjective whims and perceived slights. It is as much an imperfect manifestation of choice as it has become a politician's crutch to distract society - those lost souls conditioned by academia/media and whose lives are defined by perpetual misery - from the fact we are our greatest oppressors and liberators because life's most daunting obstacles overwhelmingly reside within ourselves.  Both women and men play integral parts in our society's development, survival, and neither should be discounted or diminished for their invaluable contributions.

The sooner political antagonists accept responsibility for waging nonsensical campaigns that provide no foreseeable benefit, the quicker common sense forever puts feminist fervor over mere technicality to rest. Instead of arguing the perceived anatomy of God solely to coddle gender militants seeking our unconditional surrender to an agenda that equates smooth arm pits to patriarchal subjugation and promotes non-binary identification as a bonafide biological sex, why not simply embody the timeless virtues of prudence and temperance over the hostile paranoia of manufactured misappropriation? The rapid attrition of strong male role models and rise in apathetic parenting has provided a fertile breeding ground for a millennial generation content rejecting any sense of societal obligation and necessity of reciprocal respect for a trite existence seduced by entitlement, envy and the limitless perversion of moral restraint.     

To be a "she" or a "he" was never a rhetorical question, but an accepted formality of birth for masculine and feminine traits are both native and conditioned behaviors. Purposely interjecting gender into every conversation, decision or life event is not only the most petty form of discrimination, it's no different than unsolicited religious indoctrination because such convictions also represent an imposed ideological set of personal beliefs; or more profoundly, the voracious desire to dispute/corrupt someone's gender or inherent sexuality to validate one's twisted assertions. Unless separation of "Church and State" is no longer the sacred bell cow of progressive secularism, excuse me while I abstain from joining the cross-dressing cult of gender sadists attempting to shame Barbie for shaving her legs but not for emasculating Ken with  bedazzled pajamas, a crocheted pink hat and electoral shock collar. I have far too much respect for those secure, self-respecting women and men who are neither threatened by the opposite sex - the natural connection and biological gifts of each gender - or feel the need to acknowledge those hypocrites attempting to neuter unapologetic Alpha males just so they can more successfully impostor one.
