Men don't become good when they stop being men. They become good when they stop being bad. We know what that looks like. It's a young man opening the door for a girl on their first date. It's a father working long hours to provide for his family. It's a soldier risking his life to defend his country. The growing problem in today's society isn't that men are too masculine. It's that they're not masculine enough.
Healthy families and strong communities depend on the leadership and bravery of good men. Yet, the current trend is to feminize young men in the hopes of achieving some utopian notion of equality and peace.
When men embrace their masculinity in a way that is healthy and productive, they are leaders, warriors, and heroes. So Let the Boys be Boys.
Unapologetically - Boy.
