How the Left ruined manliness ft. Michael Knowles

How the Left ruined manliness ft. Michael Knowles

Virtue comes from “vir,” which means “man.” The Left’s attacks on manliness are attacks on virtue itself.

Masculinity has two parts—gentlemanliness and brutishness.

First, the Left came for gentlemanliness, insisting that women should be offended when men pay checks, hold doors, and pull out chairs.

Unsurprisingly, all that remained when men complied was brutishness.

Also unsurprisingly, the Left hates to lie in the bed that they made, now decrying the “toxic masculinity” of the modern man.

So what’s a man to do? It’s time to reclaim virtue and manliness!
