Manhood The Masculine Virtues America Needs

Josh Holley's book was canceled

This is what my book on manhood is substantively about. It's saying to men out there, listen, don't believe the left when they tell you that it's terrible to be a man and that just by being a man, you're somehow contributing to the destruction of the world.

Be a good man.

And let's talk about some role models about what it looks like to be a good man, to be a father, to be a husband, to be a builder, to be a warrior, somebody who contributes to society, who provides and protects for the people that he loves.

It's good to be a woman. It's good to be a man.

You're a boy. That is awesome. You're a woman. That is awesome.

We discuss his new book, Manhood, Exploring the Structural Significance of Biblical Tradition Within People's Lives.

So one of the things I've been seeing in this as I've been walking through the same process is that the biblical corpus which is a library aggregates a set of illustrative stories and then uses those stories to describe a character to be emulated and then makes the proposition that that character to be emulated is the manifestation of a single spirit.

Then you could imagine that there's something behind that that makes it possible for all of that to become manifest, and that's the monotheistic spirit that the biblical corpus is attempting to characterize.

Well, I was motivated to write it because I've got two little boys at home. I'm a father of three and my two older are boys, and then I've got a baby girl who's two years old, but really Jordan, it was thinking about them. They're 10 and 8, my boys and my oldest is Elijah and my second is Blaze.

So you begin to, though I don't draw this out on the book, I don't say it explicitly. If you read the book, you begin to get a sense of why my boys are named the way they're named and why these ideas that I write about are so significant to me. They show up even in my kids' names and lives.

men have been told this nonsense for decades now by the press and the politicians. The nonsense is apparently equality and equal rights for women.

In these circumstances, under the influence of this creed, the creed is the Equal Protection Clause, is it any wonder that so many men now feel adrift, bereft, and yes, ashamed to be men?

the mission of manhood is bound up with fathering

marriage is where quote, a man learns to open his life to another and bind his fate to hers.

it is good for a man to exercise authority good for him and good for those around him

There's Josh Hawley, who's written a whole book called Manhood.

Hawley's book titled Manhood will hit shelves next May, a few weeks after he is slated to speak at the, quote, Stronger Men's Conference, where men go to relearn how to be masculine, complete with bull riding and monster trucks.

I'm surprised at the left's message to men, which is that manhood is inherently toxic.

if you listen closely to what the leftists believe they think all manhood is toxic.

There's one social scientist who said talking about healthy masculinity is like talking about healthy cancer.

the book is really about holding out role models. I talk a lot about American history talk a lot about the Bible role models of what to look like to be a strong man and to be a good man

we need strong men. We need you to stand up and provide and protect and sacrifice and you can change your family. You can change your neighborhood. You can change your country.
