Here’s a surprise. Wedged in between the many special days honoring sexual deviants, today is dedicated to an identity group liberals disfavor. Happy International Men’s Day. Less surprising is that it is presented as an excuse to denigrate and demasculinize:

International Men’s Day theme for 2024, “Positive Male Role Models,” emphasizes the need to promote open discussions about men’s mental health and create supportive spaces where men can flourish.

Men flourish not where they are mollycoddled in “supportive spaces” like elite college students with their crayons and Legos, but where they are free to overcome challenges.

The day also addresses issues like toxic masculinity, gender stereotypes and the pressures men face in society.

Pressures like being expected to act like men rather than moonbats.

Men are often less likely to be diagnosed with mental health disorders than women, mainly due to societal pressures. These pressures lead men to avoid asking for help, making it harder for them to acknowledge their struggles. As a result, many men go without treatment and mental health issues remain undiagnosed.

Fortunately, this is nothing a little sniveling to the Experts can’t fix.

On a tip from Mike B.

Trump’s decisive victory has caused weeping and gnashing of teeth among media moonbats all the way across the Atlantic. The Guardian has offered its staff counseling to deal with the trauma; it is unclear whether crayons and Legos are involved as at elite American universities. Now it complains that Trump has caused boys to act like boys again.

A Hudson Valley, New York high school girl relates her terror on the day after the election:

When we walked into school on the morning of 6 November, we exchanged quick glances with the other girls in our social circle – looks filled with uncertainty and dread about the future. …

[W]e noticed a very different attitude among our male peers. Subtle high-fives were exchanged and remarks about the impending success of the next four years were whispered around.

Boys are accused of “increased interest in pursuing the ideal masculine appearance by going to the gym,” engaging in “male-dominated social activities,” and in general failing to adopt the preferred cringing soy boy persona. Trump is blamed for this toxic masculinity.

As an older [actually only 3 years older], frail individual, Biden was an easy target for Trump’s aggression. While Trump’s comments seemed like an attack on Biden’s age and mental competence, they also incorporated indirect attacks on his masculinity that influenced this impressionable demographic of young men. And when contrasted with Trump’s pumping fist after the assassination attempt in July, Biden was appearing weaker and weaker while Trump was solidifying his representation of traditional male heroism.

Courage under fire is a classic male virtue and therefore an affront to wokeness.

Similarly, when Kamala Harris replaced Biden as Trump’s opponent, his goal of making his adversary seem “weak” was much more straightforward, exacerbated further by Harris’s prioritization of women’s rights in her campaign.

By “women’s rights,” the author means abortion, a key issue for advocates of moral degeneracy.

While these are just observations within our own high school, we believe that this is happening across the country. Young, well-off white boys from liberal families are being tempted by conservatism simply to protect an archaic idea of masculinity that guarantees them inherent power. It is not as if they are against abortion, or care much about the economy or immigration, or even feel remotely attracted to the rest of conservative dogma. But clearly, a shift back toward traditional gender roles is resonating with them now as progression toward female empowerment threatens their already delicate self esteem.

Despite the liberal establishment’s best efforts, the campaign to demasculinize men and instill self-hatred in boys is floundering. No wonder moonbats have succumbed to panic.

We don’t need the Second Amendment to defend ourselves from the violent vermin who own the streets under liberal anarchotyranny. We can just use towels. Germans reduced to sitzpinklers by the same moonbat establishment that is allowing them to be colonized out of existence show us the way:

At first, I thought Dylan Mulvaney’s repulsive female impersonator shtick was a particularly vicious parody of transsexuals and/or real women. Turns out he was only pushing moonbattery to the next level. This has so endeared him to the liberal establishment that honors continue to rain down upon him:

Forbes Magazine recently placed controversial trans woman and LGBTQ social media activist Dylan Mulvaney on its “30 Under 30 Social Media” list for being one of the most influential young social media influencers in the world. …

This isn’t the first recognition that Mulvaney has received from Forbes. Earlier this year, the influencer was invited to speak at the 2023 Forbes CMO Summit in Miami. During the address, the former Bud Light spokesperson urged companies to get more serious about promoting “diversity in the boardroom and on their consulting staff,” and not just do so in a “performative” way.

Also, Forbes chose this guy to speak at the 2022 Forbes Power Women’s Summit.

Via Political Insider:

Universities pay Mulvaney up to $26,250 for a lecture, presumably on how we should be more politically correct. He has called on people who refuse to pretend he is a woman to be arrested. Biden has of course invited him to the White House.

Mulvaney cost Budweiser $400 million in sales through his association with Bud Light. Why would a business magazine honor him? Because Forbes is not primarily about business. It is part of the liberal establishment, so its main objective is social engineering. To make us into a nation of Dylan Mulvaneys is what progressives are progressing toward.

The vomit-inducing J&B ad is only the tip of the iceberg. Cultural Marxists champion gay and transsexual deviants above all other faux victims because demasculinization is a major objective of leftist social engineers:

Part of the motive appears to be sheer malice. It is never enough for moonbats to destroy; first they have to desecrate and humiliate.

But there is also a strategic purpose. Effeminate, infantilized soy boys are the easiest people on earth to rule over — easier even than the needy, uneducated dregs of the Third World that Biden has been importing illegally by the millions per year.

Moonbats can render anything nauseating by demasculinizing it — even whiskey and potentially even the US Marines.

Regarding Whiskey:

For those unable to sit through the video above:

The three-minute spot follows an older man in rural Spain as he secretly teaches himself how to apply makeup, but viewers don’t know why until the end. The man sneaks into the bathroom multiple times to perfect the practice of putting on lipstick, blush and mascara. …

When the man’s family arrives at his home for Christmas dinner, he takes his transgender grand[son] into the bathroom and puts his makeup skills to good use. The grand[son] emerges with a full face of makeup, and [his] family hugs [him] in a tear-jerking moment of love and acceptance.

…as the audience rushes toward the bathroom, hands clamped over mouths, vomit spurting from between fingers.

Regarding the Marines:

A new academic report on efforts to integrate Marine Corps boot camp recommends dropping gender-specific salutations for drill instructors, but service leaders are not convinced they want to take that step.

The service leaders are right to put up resistance. Unfortunately, those at the very top, like Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley, owe their position to being aggressive advocates of the leftist agenda.

The study’s authors suggest that dispensing with “sir” and “ma’am” in favor of the neutral “drill instructor” would help to counteract [traditional views of gender].

As the name suggests, progressivism works by increments. We didn’t get from The Waltons to people grooming their grandchildren and theatrically presenting them as transvestites at Christmas dinner in whiskey commercials overnight. Step by step, they will do to the Marines what they did to the poor kid in the J&B commercial.

Everything will be corrupted and defiled until we agree with liberals that our entire civilization deserves to be flushed down the toilet.

Sports are mostly mindless entertainment. Displays of unusual skill are the main redeeming quality. Rodeo is different. It combines skill with physical courage and an inspiring display of the triumph of mankind over wild nature through sheer toughness and will power. Rodeo represents the spirit of the American West. Liberals want to ban it:

In California, there is a growing movement to ban — or seriously curtail — these kinds of performances. …

In Los Angeles, the City Council is poised to vote on legislation that would curtail, if not eliminate, rodeo events within the city.

Alameda County (home of leftist strongholds Oakland and Berkeley) has already banned wild cow milking and mutton busting. The latter is a great way for kids to take part in rodeo without getting hurt.

The restrictions have spread throughout California and beyond:

San Francisco, San Juan Capistrano and Pasadena already have restrictions on rodeos, as do Pittsburgh, Leesburg, Va., and Fort Wayne, Ind.

Other states, towns, counties and countries have bans on specific events, such as the county of Baltimore, which prohibits calf roping…

This attack on a disfavored aspect of American culture is justified by pious concern for the welfare of animals. But as chief executive and commissioner of the Professional Bull Riders Sean Gleason observes,

“[I]f animal rights activists were successful in shutting down bull riding — through this argument that there’s some kind of torture that doesn’t exist — I assure you these animals have zero purpose and they’d be turned into hamburger within a week.”

This isn’t about cattle, but about reducing us to cattle as part of the Culture War. As California Political Review notes,

The Western lifestyle is also about self reliance, freedom and private actions, without government interference.

Only when toughness, independence, and masculinity have been abolished can progressives achieve their conception of utopia. In the meantime, whatever is worth having, they will take away from you with ostentatious self-righteousness, despising you for wanting to keep it.

Demasculinization is a major plank of the liberal platform. In place of entertainment personalities like John Wayne, they present us with Harry Styles. Even the Gingerbread Man has been neutered:

The traditional biscuit has been renamed a ‘gingerbread person’ by [British supermarket chain Morrisons] in the name of ‘inclusivity’ after getting complaints from shoppers.

When it comes to moonbattery, the squeaky wheel always gets grease, even if it is only one angry activist demanding that everyone else’s traditions be repealed.

Background on the Gingerbread Man:

The first documented instance of human-shaped gingerbread biscuits was at the court of Elizabeth I. He became a fairytale character in 1875, with the story of a childless old woman who bakes one, but he then comes to life and runs away.

Later versions had him taunting his creator with the line: ‘Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Man!’

One Morrisons shopper quipped: ‘Maybe now it will have to be rewritten as ‘Run, run with maximum exertion! You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Person!’

Again we see that “inclusivity” means exclusion of anything associated with the majority and its culture.

Good thing moonbats are immune to irony. Otherwise, they would choke themselves with it. Tinseltown leftist Sean Penn notices that American men have become “quite feminized.” He scandalizes his fellow libs by holding forth on the topic:

“There are a lot of, I think, cowardly genes that lead to people surrendering their jeans and putting on a skirt.”

Here’s an alternate theory. Maybe men have been feminized by the leftist social engineers infesting Hollyweird.

Penn should give this some thought, considering that he played the starring role in Milk, which glorifies a guy who sexually preyed upon at least one teenage boy.

With heroes like Harvey Milk for role models, don’t expect boys to grow up to be Leonidas. Odds are better they will become effete degenerate moonbats.

The ChiComs now have the world’s largest navy. But that isn’t the main reason they are likely to win the war America’s self-inflicted weakness is making inevitable. They have more potent weapons, like TikTok.

As Paul Joseph Watson illustrates, our society and culture are…

…controlled by a pathological, parasitic, progressive oligarchy, a cult of evil that brazenly floods the consciousness of young men with a steady diet of emasculating degeneracy — a process that demoralizes, atomizes, and crumbles from beneath them the traditional pillars of masculinity: family, faith, patriotism, self-respect, and stoicism. While heterophobic, anti-male, anti-white wokism is being enthroned and sanctified as the official state ideology of the West, China’s taking a different path.

Joe Biden and Xi Jinping are both tyrants. The main difference is that Xi means his country well.

Social engineers in the West use authoritarianism to corrupt with moonbattery. Social engineers behind the Bamboo Curtain use authoritarianism to crush that debilitating cancer out of existence.

As a rule, the culture wins that deserves to win. That principle used to work in America’s favor. But this didn’t used to be the sort of society that would turn over power to people like Biden.

Actress Megan Fox has been milking the media for free publicity by complaining that her 8-year-old son showing up for school wearing a dress has not been received by the other kids with the politically required enthusiastic approval.

Weeps CNN:

Fox, who stars in the new movie “Till Death,” said in a recent interview that her eldest child, whom she shares with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, has been criticized by “mean, awful and cruel people.”

Barks Fox:

“I send him to a really liberal, hippy school, but even there here in California he still has little boys going, ‘Boys don’t wear dresses,’ or ‘Boys don’t wear pink.’”

It will take more than a few decades of woke social engineering to eradicate every boy’s innate sense of what behavior is acceptable. If Ms Fox doesn’t want her son teased at school, she should stop sending him there in a dress. She is the one making his life miserable, not his schoolmates.

Insane as the “mainstream” culture presented by the liberal establishment is now, it will get crazier still. To see what’s coming next, look to the incubator of all things woke, academia. At Penn State, social engineers are moving forward with the abolition of gender:

The Pennsylvania State University’s faculty senate approved a new proposition that will remove “gendered” and “binary” language from the school’s program and course descriptions.

The campaign against gender is grounded in the effete intelligentsia’s fear and loathing of all things masculine.

“The University, as with most all academic institutions world-wide, has grown out of a typically male-centered world,” read a University Faculty Senate document explaining the proposed change. “As such, many terms in our lexicon carry a strong, male-centric, binary character to them. Terms such as ‘freshmen’ are decidedly male-specific, while terms such as ‘upperclassmen’ can be interpreted as both sexist and classist. Terms such as ‘junior’ and ‘senior’ are parallel to western male father-son naming conventions, and much of our written documentation uses he/she pronouns.”

The move will allegedly help students figure out their own gender identity. That way, they will now how to fill out the side of their cereal boxes.

The concept of gender cannot be eradicated completely, because it is still required for the gender studies courses that taxpayers subsidize.

“The committee recognizes that there may be places where these terms, especially gender terms, may need to remain intact, for example in the case of courses or degrees that delve into gender studies,” the document continued. “In such cases, efforts shall be made to clearly delineate between the ‘academic’ study of these gendered terms, and the newly established nomenclature as it would apply to faculty, staff, students, and guests.”

After this, they plan to push the envelope still further.

William Kenyon, a member of the Senate Committee on Curricular Affairs, hailed the move, saying that it was a good “first step” to make the university more inclusive.

Imagine what the last step would be. But there will be no last step. Moonbattery always begets further moonbattery.
