“The people who tend to fight wars are typically very patriotic, very male people. Now. I’m sorry to break it to you, but this has been the truth about military warfare for literally all of human history.
“And the institution of traditional masculinity has been core to that idea. But we’re a society that doesn’t believe in traditional masculinity. Traditional masculinity is an opponent. Because traditional masculinity requires roles.
“It says that men are supposed to protect, men are supposed to defend and are supposed to be strong. Men are supposed to be fathers and husbands.
“These are apparently very bad things now. You’re not supposed to say these things.” – Butch icon Ben Shapiro, squeaking on his Daily Wire podcast.
Aside from not having a clue what he’s talking about, there’s a lot going on here, especially while the super-masculine, un-woke Russian military is getting its ass kicked. https://t.co/F79O9jCPTR

Perhaps this seems logically intuitive but it doesn’t say much about the military performance of ultra-macho Russian society. Technology is all that matters and it’s gradually making many of the functions of traditional masculinity redundant — anyone can operate a Predator drone. https://t.co/O4FxDUNQJf

Hey @benshapiro, our women warriors are among our best and bravest. How dare someone who’s never served talk like this. https://t.co/ZY0OOBq3ux

If ANY MAN is going to @benshapiro or @TuckerCarlson for what’s “manly,” you know, not being able to get your wife wet and tanning your balls. Then you probably believe JFK JR. Is coming back from the dead… https://t.co/bdmXKxmVyw
