Traditional masculinity is a shield against State power
by Jason Newman, TCW:
“We must redefine masculinity”. This is now the war cry from the gender feminists and those on the regressive left. Of course, this is postmodernist newspeak for, “make men act like women.” Unlike the useful idiots who awarded Bruce Jenner woman of the year, I (like many) think women do a damn good job of acting like women themselves.
Not content with redefining the nation, the family and the truth they have now moved onto another sacred cow in their sordid quest to destroy a culture and society that they quite openly and obviously despise. They have realised that by sweeping away masculinity and the characteristics most often associated with men – stoicism, self-reliance and duty – they can hasten the fall of all they hate and bring about their utopia. (I am not by the way asserting that women cannot have these traits either, but merely stating that utilising these characteristics often manifests itself differently in men and women).
Stoicism is not, as many claim, the absence of emotion, but rather the practice of dealing with any one emotion good or bad and not letting it overwhelm oneself or lead to any knee-jerk reactions. It is an intrinsically conservative trait and the enemy of those who wish us to hear a phrase like “rape culture” and react with a hysterical mea culpa. It is rationally and critically to evaluate what you are being told and stops one spending every waking hour “self-reflecting” and turning into a whining narcissist. To deal with emotion is to realise that bad things happen, that perfection and utopia are unattainable and that most importantly this is alright – a dangerous idea to those that seek absolute parity and are hell bent on egalitarianism.
