Is Liberalism Killing the Manly Man?

Is liberalism killing the real masculine male? It seems that way. Keep in mind here, that when I say “man,” I’m not talking about the clichéd manly man who throws back macro-brews, chases skirts and scratches himself in public.By “real” I don’t mean someone who has to be tough, brawny or even rough around the edges.

I’m speaking about the ideal of manhood that young boys have upheld in their hearts and minds for generations. I’m speaking of course… of Matlock. The man could car chase like it was nobody’s business.

In all seriousness, my father (like most fathers) always taught me that a man is someone who stands by his principles, someone who lives with integrity and puts his family before himself. That last one is important, because as a young boy, it’s your pops who provides you with security.

The financial, emotional, even physical security of the son rests squarely on the shoulders of his father. What could possibly be more manly than providing all of the above for your kin? Maybe bear-wrestling, but legally I’m not allowed to endorse it.

Here’s the problem with the modern liberal man -- he can never fully provide that sense of security for his family, because he doesn’t believe that he can provide it for himself.

The rest of Crowder's analysis is here:

This is a rhetorical question.

Chuck Norris’ tears could cure Liberalism.

Too bad Chuck Norris has never cried.

Killing it?  Hell, modern Liberalism and manliness are polar opposites.

Liberalism has had so much sauces turning the modern female into a whore and the modern male into a whore hopper that they see no problem into unifying the sexes into a single weak sex.

Excellent explanation right there. :hi5:
Liberalism turns the modern male into limp wristed men, if you want to call them men.

These two concepts aren't even in the same universe.

If liberalism can kill it, it wasn't very manly to begin with.
