The War on Men is a War on Truth Itself! By Mrs Vera West

Mark Keenan (link below) just wrote the quietest declaration of war you'll read all year, and it is aimed squarely at the soft totalitarian spirit of our age. His thesis is simple, brutal, and correct: the campaign to "re-educate," "detoxify," and "redefine" masculinity is not about making men kinder or the world gentler. It is about making truth itself socially impossible. When you finish castrating the one demographic most biologically wired and culturally trained to say "No, that's rubbish" out loud, you have removed the last organic brake on collective delusion.

History agrees with him, and history is unforgiving on this point.

Every society that decided truth was negotiable first went after the men who refused to negotiate it.

The Soviets sent the ones who spoke up to the Gulag.

The Maoists made them carry dunce caps and confess crimes against feelings.

The East Germans turned neighbour against neighbour so that no man could trust another man to hold the line.

The methods change; the target never does. A civilisation that needs its founding myths to stay alive cannot tolerate a critical mass of adult men who still possess the testosterone-driven reflex to blurt out "The emperor has no clothes" the moment they see his naked ideology.

That reflex is not toxic. It is the immune system of reality.

The Modern Battlefield Looks Like This:

2021: Coca-Cola tells its employees to "be less white" in an official training seminar.

2022: A Canadian college professor is investigated for saying, on his private YouTube channel, that there are only two sexes.

2023: A British teacher is fired for refusing to call a girl "he" and another for saying "good afternoon, girls" to a class that contained exactly that.

2024–2025: Corporate HR departments now openly advertise "masculinity de-biasing" workshops with the same casual tone once reserved for "diversity and inclusion."

Notice the pattern. The offenses are not violence, not harassment, not even rudeness. The offense is accurate speech delivered by a man who has not yet been trained to fear the mob more than he fears lying.

The Weapon Is Not Force — It's Shame

They don't drag these men to prison (yet). They simply make continued employment, social belonging, and sometimes custody of their own children contingent on public self-castration. The ritual is always the same: grovel, confess your "toxic" commitment to objective reality, promise to do better, and maybe, just maybe, you get to keep your job and your friends.

Most men cave. They have mortgages, kids in school, wives who don't want to become pariahs. One by one the resistors fall silent, and the Overton window slides another inch toward madness.

This is how a culture commits suicide without firing a shot: it convinces half its population that courage is hate and clarity is violence.

The Real Toxic Masculinity

If you want to see authentic toxic masculinity, look at the men who will cheerfully repeat any approved lie if it buys them another day of comfort. The father who nods along while his daughter's swim coach with a five-o'clock shadow, changes in the girls' locker room. The manager who signs off on hiring quotas he knows will lower standards because HR is watching. The professor who gives an A to the paper insisting men can get pregnant because the alternative is a Title IX complaint.

That is toxicity: the willingness to sacrifice truth, safety, and merit on the altar of social approval. It is cowardice wearing the mask of virtue.

Real masculinity, the kind that built ships, stormed beaches, and fought the good fight, never needed "re-education." It needed only a cause worth the cost. Give men something true to defend and they will defend it with their lives. Remove every true thing and replace it with approved feelings, and you get what we have now: a generation of soft, anxious, porn-addicted, apology-spewing males who can deadlift 500 pounds but won't risk a single raised eyebrow to say "This is insane."

The Way Back Is Not Complicated

Refuse to lie. Start with the smallest things. Say the obvious out loud. Every time you do, you make it safer for the next man.

Accept the cost. There will be one. Jesus, Solzhenitsyn, and every whistleblower who ever lived paid it. You are not special.

Protect the women and children who are paying the highest price for the lies (girls losing sports, privacy, and safety; boys growing up believing they are defective by design).

Build parallel structures: businesses, schools, communities, and families that run on reality instead of feelings. Starve the beast of your compliance.

The war on men is not a side issue. It is the main front in the war on truth. When the last man who is willing to stand up and say "No" has been shamed, fired, or medicated into silence, the game is over. Reality will not save itself.

So, speak. Stand. Endure the discomfort. Your grandfathers did it with bullets whistling overhead; the least you can do is withstand a dirty look from a blue-haired diversity officer.

Truth is still the sharpest blade ever forged, and it is still looking for a steady masculine hand to wield it.
