In fact, people who believe in traditional roles and male leadership should talk more about men’s dating and relationship habits.
Generally, it is men who initiate romantic relationships and propose marriage. We have the responsibility to protect and provide for our families. This is not an arbitrary role invented by misogynists who want to keep women in their place. It is an obligation given to us by God, who created us and defined marriage.
Unfortunately, too many men believe the “diabolical lies” that Mr. Butker talked about in his commencement speech. These types of men only use the words “masculinity” and “patriarchy” in negative connotations, as if there is something inherently flawed about being a man.
These men argue that unless they are publicly promoting abortion, other men should not express their opinions about abortion.
