Feminists Decry “Toxic” Masculinity

It’s no secret that men are under attack by feminists on liberal college campuses. Radical feminists have been saying for years that women don’t need men. They say that the two genders are exactly the same in every way, but now they are going even further than that. The feminists at Claremont College in Claremont, California hosted an event to tell men that masculinity is “extremely toxic to our mental health.” The forum featured a number of speakers who recounted the many ways that masculinity had supposedly wronged them. Their ultimate goal was to tell men that acting like men is harmful to themselves and others.


This is just another lie of the Left. They choose to ignore the simple truth that men and women play different but equally important roles in society. Both are needed to build a strong family, community, and nation. Study after study has shown that men play an important part in their children’s lives. According to a document released by the Department of Health and Senior Services, “children who have an involved father are more likely to be emotionally secure, be confident to explore their surroundings, and, as they grow older, have better social connections with peers. These children also are less likely to get in trouble at home, school, or in the neighborhood.” There is no doubt that it is important for men to step up and be the fathers and husbands that their families need them to be.

This group of feminist Claremont College students need to understand that masculinity is not “extremely toxic” to anyone’s mental health. We need men and women to fulfill the roles of father and mother in their children’s lives. The traditional family unit with a present and active mother and father creates the ideal environment to train children in how to be kind people and responsible citizens. Traditional families are the building blocks that have made America the powerful nation that it is today. It’s time for us to teach our children by example that both genders are unique and important. They need to see that masculinity is not toxic – it is wanted and needed.
