How the War on Masculinity and Motherhood Is Tearing America Apart

There have been many great wars that have been fought throughout the history of the world. Some of those have been for religion. Some of those to establish the freedom endowed by the Creator. Some have been for land while others have been to secure resources and trade routes. The greatest atrocities committed between humans have been those to establish dominance over another race or ethnicity of people. Nazi Germany exterminated 6 million Jews during World War 2, and the Civil War in America tallied an estimated 620,000 deaths among its own to eliminate the practice of slavery. After 161 years, the practice of plantation slavery has been replaced by its updated name of human trafficking. In total there have been 1,303,854 American deaths attributed to 11 wars throughout the young history of this great nation. But the longest, most deadly, most calculated and evil war continues to rage on in America. The cultural war against the family, with the woman locked in the crosshairs of the sniper.

 While we as a country were distracted by the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, there was a domestic conflict that arose funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, and the Ford Foundation. This covert operation was executed to take out the heartbeat of the family. Its sole purpose was to weaken a nation and fracture the core of what God had established from the beginning of time. Every minister of war knows that if you neutralize the enemy’s logistics and support infrastructure, you can cripple their ability to sustain combat operations. To advance a front, one would focus on isolating and eliminating key combat formations that are critical to the enemy’s fighting strength, and by doing so you can impact their will to fight causing them to retreat, surrender, or be neutralized at a lower cost.

Phase 1: Neutralize the enemy’s logistics and support infrastructure. These wealthy endowments began to introduce women’s studies, women empowerment initiatives, and research related to gender equality. Organizations like the Global Fund for Women provide funding directly to grassroots feminist movements to combat oppression and promote gender justice. The plan was a slow burn to “empower” women to be free thinkers, self-supportive, and independent of men. What came from this was a 2-household income that became an additional payroll taxable revenue stream for the federal government, our children were placed with strangers and outside the values and structure a family unit gives, while building a trap door that doesn’t truly challenge the existing power structure that exists. The key battle of this culture war took place on January 22, 1973, when the Supreme Court sided with Jane Roe. The decision has cost an estimated 63 million innocent lives via abortion and countless hours of legal briefs, prayers, and enough tears to flood the earth.

Phase 2: Focus on isolating and eliminating key combat formations that are critical to the enemy’s fighting strength. By indoctrinating women with the false sense of true independence, institutions of higher education with the assistance of media, women are lulled to believe they do not need men anymore. Just look at television, music, movies, and social media and you will see the near extinction of the role men play in society, more importantly to women and children. These mediums challenge patriarchal norms and showcase women’s empowerment, independence, and capabilities. These efforts have only commodified feminism, offering only fake empowerment resulting in superficial progress without genuine systemic change. We have isolated men and, in a way, given them a “get out of jail free” card when it comes to the responsibilities and impact their presence brings. This has resulted in higher poverty rates for women and children, an over-crowded prison system, and a failing education system that has led to rising illiteracy rates and a lower number of college and career ready students throughout our country. We have replaced providers and protectors with young social media influencers who send a message of my body my choice. Family time, including meals, prayer, church have been reduced to single mothers working two/three jobs while the children are being entertained by Tik Tok, Instagram, and YouTube. There is no empowerment in any of those things. Many single parent households are being held captive by social welfare programs, fatigue, and mental health crisis. What kind of liberation is that? This kind of liberation is causing women to “choose” a life that leads to exploitation, dependence, and other detrimental choices like aborting a child, drug and alcohol abuse, and human trafficking.

Phase 3: Impact their will to fight causing them to retreat, surrender, or be neutralized at a lower cost. The enemy attacked the very fiber of being a woman. They took away a woman’s dignity in the bathroom by allowing men to start using it with them. They took away locker rooms, gym spaces, public bathrooms, and community showers by allowing men to occupy them. They took away women’s sports, allowing men who were inferior in their own sports of swimming, boxing, basketball, volleyball, and track to dominate and hurt them. This is a culture war like none other. First using sheer force to enter and compete, daring anyone to challenge them. They used Hollywood, media, then the court system to pervert Title IX. They mocked, taunted, then cancelled anyone who spoke up. Women began to surrender, even forfeiting games, giving up awards and medals, and having to watch a man win Time Magazine “Woman of the Year.” In just a few short years, millions of people in the United States could not even tell you what a woman is. 

In our society, a woman’s worth is attributed to what she does for a living or how much money she makes. I have even heard women say, “I am only a stay-at-home mom.”   Somehow being a “boss lady” elevates her to a higher social stature. Being a true “boss lady” is one that puts her children first, even to the sacrifice of personal achievement.

There is no greater crown worn than the crown worn by a woman and mother who is selfless for the good of her family. Solomon spoke in Proverbs about a virtuous woman whose value is beyond rubies. The rise and fall of civilization lays at the feet of those that esteem and support mothers. In 1910 Teddy Roosevelt said, “The mother is the one supreme asset of National Life; she is more important by far than the successful statesman, or businessman, or artist, or scientist.” In less than a century, society moved to the farthest corner of the room from those words. We surrendered the “glue that binds the family” in fear of being labeled as non-progressive and misogynistic. We allowed modernism to capture our flag of traditional values, moving the mother from the center of the home and the father completely out the door.

We cannot get lost in how valuable a woman is as a giver and sustainer of life. Without a man assuming his responsibility as a protector of life, we continue to lose in the culture war we are all fighting. I am asking for our men to step up, speak up, and protect the gift God gave us in the Garden of Eden. I am asking for men to take back the family, take back our communities, and regain the initiative perpetrated against our women and children.
