Integrity first

When they say "we're going back to when men were men" ask them to give specific examples of what they mean and watch as it all falls apart.

American men want to force themselves on women and kids because that gives them the illusion of having power. Disgusting deterioration and decomposition of the American male character. They lifted a chlLd rapl$t to the highest seat in the land.

bsky.app/profile/lafa... You have been lied to. Slave elector collage thinks your too dumb to have a voice on laws that affect your life and keep you in a state of amnesia and domestic servitude. DON'T YOU DESERVE A SLICE OF THIS PIE? You know I'm right! Blessings #Adam-Kinzinger You a good dude

bsky.app/profile/lafa... Please right in solidarity with me in the spirit of the Marque! Je Suis de La Fayette!

This would be a good start. Jackson Katz, too maybe.

other shit is called Muskulinity, and Incellinity..

Watched episode 5 of the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and the creed of a knight was the theme: BE HONOURABLE, KIND and PROTECT vulnerable people of society. Should chivalry not be revived? Thank you Mr Kinzinger.

Yeah, no more Neanderthal masculinity. It's stupid and it's a real turnoff.

Masculinity and the flag. They’ve twisted both

True. Bumptious bully boys don’t define it either.

Violence *

For 10 years, everything masculine was labeled as “toxic”. So, we abandoned masculinity… and the idiotic Republican’ts gladly stepped in! Now we need to TAKE IT BACK… cuz it ain’t working for them! 🤘💙💛💀💛💙🤘

Don't forget competence. Competence is manly.

So you saw Kash Patel and the men’s US Hockey team celebration in the locker room then….

Absolutely! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Real masculinity is protecting those that are weaker than you. Trump masculinity is exploiting everyone that’s weaker than you and bowing down to Putin, wearing lifts and make up and being scared of animals 😂

Boom!💥 this is what real men do.👏👏👏🙏

Damn right it is.

And accountability!!

You are so right. Bless you.

👍👍

Absolutely, that is a man. You are wonderful. 👏👏

No “fighting” no “punching up”. Just stepping in and doing what is needed when it’s needed. THAT is masculinity. Blessings to you sir. Sorry for your loss.

That is being a man.

Good man..for better for worse..in sickness and in health...Bless you!

That is such a kind story. This isn’t just you, but it does confuse me when people define masculinity. It feels like people lump every good action a man can do into masculinity and every bad one into toxic masculinity. It feels like these words don’t mean much when used for half of the population.

PLEASE do this. People like DJT, Hegseth, Patel etc. hurt young men.

Thank you for your integrity Adam. Gives me hope in dark times…

The women accomplished the same thing as the men by winning gold. Yet, the man-boys on the Men’s US Hockey Team didn’t stand up for the women when Trump insulted them. Instead, they party with the Trump Administration. It’s disgusting!

It's not necessary to drag your knuckles along the ground to prove you're masculine. Being upright is sign enough.

Please get on it.

So. Are you still a Republican, Adam?

Love Thy Neighbor 💙 Strength is Standing in Integrity and Acting from that Core Principle

AGREED!! MAGA toxic masculinity is real! It’s like being cool. If you have to tell people you’re cool, then you are NOT cool.

True and we have also let the wrong people define patriotism.

Nothing is more masculine to me than a man, young or old, who tenderly takes the hand of a toddler to protect, nurture, or settle and calm them in the midst of unrest.

Or maybe just talk about being a good person. So much emphasis on re/defining “masculinity” really hasn’t gotten us to a better place. It’s all a road to reinforcing the patriarchy… which we definitely don’t need.

When I think of a man, I think of Pir Zia Khan, head of the Inayati Order of Sufis, his line of teachers, and of all spiritual guides through time

I agree, completely.

Amen👆

The problem is that most stupid people put the cart before the horse. I would focus first on becoming human, then pick a gender if being a man doesn’t come naturally to you.

…as is real femininity (rather than how many kids can you pop out and at what age can you begin doing so.)

Real masculinity would be the men on the men's hockey team supporting their fellow female hockey team by also refusing the WH invite to the State of the Union address.

Humanity trumps masculinity.

It reminds me of Aragorn.

Agree.

Agreed.

In ancient times, the alpha male was the guy that took care of his tribe or village. Protected everybody and made sure nobody is left behind. Not the drunk village idiot that yells or burps the loudest.

Defending the weak, not mocking them.

Real masculinity isn't the chest beating, beer downing steriod gym bunny laddish behaviour that is exemplified by Frat Bro's and the current US regime. It's being there for family, doing your share of house chores, not being emotionally absent. You can still do sports, chill but consider others.

Toxic masculinity, namely the idea that a man can somehow stop being a man if he doesn't behave in a certain way, is literally deadly to men. It's the main reason why young men do stupid things and die from them. It's also why so many men commit suicide. It's bad for men as well as everyone else.

#PresidentKinzinger

And loving others. Jesus was the wokest guy I know. I’ll stack up His macho cred against anyone else’s.

👏👏👏

Those expectations are not gender specific.

So Kash Patel partying like a frat bro with idiot hockey misogynists isn’t masculine enough for ya?

Rudeness is the weak person’s imitation of strength

What I hear you saying is bullies are actually wimps but they are in charge at the moment. I learned about real strength from my mother, the kindergarten teacher. Protecting others. Kindness. Helping. That's strength.

Amen.

It's so easy to laugh It's so easy to hate It takes strength to be gentle and kind

real men don't dance to YMCA. hell, gay men don't even do it.

When will you announce you’re running in 2028? Pleeeeeaaassse 🙏🏻

This is the way.

Yep THIS We need more of 👇these men

Totally agree

Spoken like someone without kids 🤣🤣 … thanks for the laugh

I am saying that *YOUR* take makes men irrelevant. We don’t need an ‘other’ to provide particular societal functions. Example: gay parents.

My son is an Eagle Scout and he is one of the finest men you will ever meet.

An "alpha" doesn't eat first; it makes sure every member of the pack eats. It doesn't push around the smaller members; it makes sure they don't get pushed around. The pack doesn't follow it out of fear; they follow it out of trust.

Kindness and compassion in a man are way sexier, too.

RIGHT ON

We’ve let those same POS people define patriotism for far too long, as well. Snatch that shit right back.

I totally agree Adam. What are we anyway, a bunch of Neanderthals?

Yes! As a kid I assumed all adults built themselves on the foundation of basic humanity.

All the traits I'm seeing here are not specifically masculine. It's hard enough trying to be all those things like courageous and compassionate with a selfless endurance, etc., why worry about whether that's masculine enough? Those that are these things surely don't.

REPUBLICANS ARE F@CKING PANSIIES. LET'S TAKE BACK BOTH BRANCHES AND IMPEACH AND GET RID OF THIS P.O.S.

Thank you, Adam👏 The patriarchy is bad for men, too.

👍👍

Real men wear pink, do dishes and laundry, respect women, love and support their spouse/partner. Real men are not emasculated by successful women. Real men are amazing. I have one and I raised one. ❤️

Kindness, empathy and compassion when you have confidence in your masculinity

YES ♥️♥️♥️

I actually agree for once

you can Make a BIG Difference!!! , now is also the actual time to get involved and volunteer for the mid-term elections, Stand up, speak up, no one will do it for YOU!!!! Otherwise, you may have 2 more years of trump's and the spineless republicans chaos

Strength, insight, intellect, and ability have a tendency to make man more empathetic and less narcissistic. Any time I see a bellicose, belligerent, or supercilious man belittle others, I know I’m dealing with a weak man.

Thank you. You're so right.

MAGA always confuse machismo with masculinity. If you can only feel like a man if you're oppressing or denigrating others, you might be hung like a cashew.

Are you sure? I thought is was getting butt naked and drinking milk in a hot tub with kid rock.🤔🤔🤔

It’s also due to a distorted perception of SUCCESS. It should be based on integrity, generosity, kindness but success is all about greed and abuse of power.

Real men are not toxic.

And yet you spent the majority of your career in politics letting the GOP define what was right. Really? You played a role in bringing the country this nightmare and have yet to come to terms with that.

Yes!! THIS!!

👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely. Every magat, including trump, are far too cowardly and obnoxious to have any shred of masculinity.

Adam K was a tremendous loss to our Congress. As was Liz Cheney and Al Franken.

This is so true. Punk ass rightwing podcasters have brainwashed men, especially young men, into believing being an obnoxious bully who denigrates and tries to control women/minorities is being a man. No, it’s being a punk ass bitch. Get a clue.

Yes!!!!! 🫶🫶🫶

Adam Kinzinger and Scott Galloway…if we do that, We’ll be fine

Dude-you have a TERRIBLE record of voting for the rights of women!

So very true!

Yes, this is just insecure bully bullshit.

WELL SAID, SIR! I’ve been blessed enough to have a truly kind, masculine man 🥰

Real Masculinity is a true Gentleman/ Woman/ You have Respect,Dignity ,Class and empathy and compassion for all people 🇺🇸💪🏼

Amen

I don’t understand how Trump first of all and his cabinet of bozos represent masculinity. If this is true this is sad.

Yep. Principles first, not pedophiles first.

Somebody needs to tell Hauling Ass Hawley. He wrote a book on masculinity after running away on J6.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Masculinity that hides behind other men and believes it is strong.

Kindness doesn't hurt anyone 🙂
