Snippets from a post by Ruben Navarrette, Jr., a 30-year pro-choice male who is starting to realize, with prompting from his wife, of a major responsibility of being a man (reformatted, emphasis mine):
…As I’ve only realized lately, to be a man, and to declare yourself pro-choice, is to proclaim your neutrality. And, as I’ve only recently been willing to admit, even to myself, that’s another name for “wimping out.” At least that’s how my wife sees it. She’s pro-life, and so she’s been tearing into me every time a new video is released. She’s not buying my argument that, as a man, I have to defer to women and trust them to make their own choices about what to do with their bodies. To her, that’s ridiculous—and cowardly.
“You can’t stand on the sidelines, especially now that you’ve seen these videos,” she told me recently. “That’s b******t! These are babies that are being killed. Millions of them. And you need to use your voice to protect them. That’s what a man does. He protects children—his own children, and other children. That’s what it means to be a man.”
Indeed – regardless of what the feminization of America has tried to do with a man’s role of and in society and what the gender-bender Social Justice Warriors that are trying to transform society to make believe that male and female don’t exist – nothing more than applied nihilism where NOTHING matters. The result is that when everyone finally believes that nonsense, as in Hillary’s “What difference does it make?” and the Politically Correct answer “it doesn’t”, trust me, those that wish to you to believe that will absolutely have something else for you to believe and you will. Why? You will have been trained to believe whatever that Next Big Thing is.
And trust me – it will not be the Hope or Change you once believed in. Nor will it turn out well.
But Navarrette’s wife is wise – it IS the man’s job, any man’s job, not to be “leading from behind“; as stupid as a phrase can be. Why? It really translates as “fearful to be in front“. To be a protector of ANYTHING means to be IN FRONT. And you are IN FRONT not just for one thing or person, it means leading all the time. No sitting on the sidelines, no more saying “this is not my fight” – yes, it is. You helped to created that baby; it IS your baby too. No more falling for the nonsense that it is only a woman’s body – it is a new life, an independent life, and you should not be cut out from it.
Or, as Navarrette says, “wimping out”.
You men out there – time to man up and ignore the SJWs who say that’s just retrograde sexism. No more being neutral – time to “march to the sounds of the guns“.
“That’s what it means to be a man“.
