The Democrats are not just at the mercy of their socialist wing. They are in a state of bewilderment as to why all their attacks on men\u2014\u201ctoxic\u201d is such an alienating prognosis\u2014has disenfranchised their once-was base of blue-collar, unionized men.<\/p>

Nevertheless, a recent opinion piece in that central pillar of leftist thought, The New York Times<\/em>, titled \u201cAmerica Has a Masculinity Crisis,\u201d has all the answers they cannot see\u2014albeit between the lines.<\/p>\n

In it,\u00a0the Times<\/em>\u2019s culture editor, Nadja Spiegelman, speaks with Frederick Joseph, whose books include The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person<\/em>\u00a0and Patriarchy Blues: Reflections on Manhood<\/em>, and Ruth Whippman, a British-American opinion writer and the author BoyMom<\/em>, to have a \u201cmuch-needed, nuanced conversation about masculinity and feminism today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the setup, the opinion piece says, \u201cYoung men are in crisis. While the left tells men to stay in their lane, members of the manosphere and the far right are welcoming them with open arms.\u201d The opening paragraph then claims these handpicked authors will explain \u201cwhat a healthier version of manhood could look like\u2014and how we can get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph begins with \u201cI think the reality is that we\u2019ve always had patriarchy at the intersection of capitalism and white supremacy\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I would agree,\u201d says Whippman. She then uses the phrase \u201ccaricatured masculinity\u201d to describe what she calls \u201cthis tough guy, bulletproof man,\u201d though doesn\u2019t seem to realize this stereotyped simplicity is her bias on display.<\/p>\n

Still, Whippman does then say something honest by noting that the left tells the men who complain about the treatment to \u201cshut up,\u201d which is not helpful to anyone.<\/p>\n

After that snort of honesty, however, they continue on aggressively agreeing about the toxicity of the patriarchy. The discussion soon settles into a lot of wondering about how they can formulate a reductionist doctrine that boys and men will willingly ingest so they can be re-indoctrinated as voters for a Democrat party that loathes them.<\/p>\n

It is almost a productive endeavor, but the social constructs these three leftist intellectuals have been so dutifully taught in college and by the Times<\/em> continually obstruct them from the fact that actual manliness\u2014self-reliance, a can-do gumption, a willingness to problem solve out of a natural disaster or home-maintenance issue, a real-world understanding of the need to shake off a skinned knee or bruised ego to get something done (and to tell their sons and daughters to do the same)\u2014are beyond the scope of the academic constructs these leftists are captured by.<\/p>\n

And therein lies the chasm they cannot see to cross.<\/p>\n

Joseph tries to articulate what the next steps must be for Democrats to win male voters back, but derails himself with the claim that masculine men \u201cdon\u2019t teach you how to cry. They don\u2019t teach you how to laugh. They don\u2019t want you laughing. They don\u2019t want you crying because they actually do, in capitalism, want to monetize that rage of yours. That\u2019s how you get the manosphere.\u201d<\/p>

Uh, what?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Joseph somehow combines a sexist stereotype from the left (yes, against men) with a criticism of private property and earned wealth (capitalism) and then says it adds up to the manosphere.<\/p>\n

Okay, if your narrow worldview is that men who run the patriarchy must be defeated\u2014and not just defeated, but belittled, bled dry, and their wealth redistributed\u2014then this will be your cartoonish political analysis to explain why Democrats have lost so many male voters.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, this analysis from Joseph descends into,<\/p>\n

\n

And I think there is so much toxic masculinity, and I hear boys all the time say, \u2018I literally do not know what it means to be a good boy or man.\u2019 Because I think, on the one hand, all you see is these terrible role models who aren\u2019t role models at all. On the other hand, you have people saying what isn\u2019t good, but you have to tell people what can be good, right?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Instead of now articulating the left\u2019s manly heroes\u2014granted even Hollywood\u2019s best struggle with this feat\u2014Joseph shifts to argue that being a good white person is different from being a good person of color. It is lost on Joseph that we all have the same rights. With Joseph, equality is not the goal. He wants revenge against a strawman. He has over-simplified the problem, as the left\u2019s reductionist theory has taught him to do, into a power struggle between the oppressed and oppressors.<\/p>\n

As with Whippman, who derailed her beginning of a point upon feminist theory, he derailed his on race.<\/p>\n

The thing is, Joseph is right that young men, and men in general, need role models or heroes. This is why I wrote Cool Heroes for Boys\u201420 True Tales of Adventure<\/em> to tell the truth about men who did and stood for big things that boys and men today can learn a lot from\u2014but, tellingly, that the left has cancelled.<\/p>\n

If only these leftist thinkers for the Times<\/em>, and for the rest of the Democrat party, could break away from their self-empowering academic theories on men, they might come to a real reformation in the Democrat party. That could be beneficial for all of us.<\/p>\n

Frank Miniter is, ironically, a New York Times best-selling author. His latest book is Cool Heroes for Boys\u201420 True Tales of Adventure.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>
