I mean this with respect, but... What do you want us (men) to do?

There is evil in the world. It's not a man or a woman thing. It is a good vs evil thing. It is a spiritual thing. It is a repent and call on God thing.

There are things we (men) can do to help...if we're allowed. All too often in this world men are condemned for being men.

We've destroyed the ability for our boys to grow up and become protectors be demonizing all of the male traits that lead to boys becoming men who are protectors.

We took away recess and P.E. and told boys to quite roughhousing.

We told boys to treat girls equally and not open doors for them or give up seats for them.

We implemented zero tolerance policies in schools that equally punish bullies and those who stand up to them.

We put dresses on them and tell them it's acceptable to dominate girls in women's sports.

We gave them access to unlimited porn and wonder why they don't resect women.

We portray men in popular culture as feckless, hopeless, weak, and stupid.

We celebrate effiminate men while denigrating manly men.

We've spent decades preaching that no woman needs a man.

We've eliminated any distinction between the sexes to the point where being a man or a woman is largely a matter of whim decided by how one feels rather than how one is born.

We've demonized and denigrated and reduced the value of being a man so much that most men have no idea how to act like one.

In short, we've done this to ourselves. Women have contributed to this. Mothers no longer teach their sons to stand up for the weak and vulnerable because we refuse to admit that anyone is weak and vulnerable. Fathers have contributed by abandoning their families and failing to show their sons what it means to be a real man.

We've virtue signaled our sons out of manhood and now we wonder why they don't act like men.

Thank you Mia for expressing how we are all feeling- angry, overwhelmed and exhausted. I want my daughter to be safe. This must be seen as a men’s issue.
