Excellent essay. I feel sorry for the latest generation; males and females both struggling to find their place in a toxic world that hates them for their nature. My grandson stayed in trouble in middle school because he acted like a boy; not a bad boy, but full of energy, piss and vinegar. My daughter moved him to a Christian private school, and he hasn't been expelled once! Public schools are full of control freaks that have no understanding of human nature, and certainly not the nature of normal boys. Twelve year old boys have trouble sitting still for seven hours. (I guess that's why they ended recess.). And the sexulation of young girls, and I do mean young, is equally disturbing. It's no small wonder that some of them want to change their gender. And people think this is progress?

Thank you for reading the essay. I am honored by all who do. I couldn't imagine having my kid in a public school today. Years ago when my son was in 4th grade they had a 'sharing circle' where they would pass a stick. They were to share 'when they had been bullied.' I thought it was so strange as many of the kids were hardly bullied. When I look back, I realized the teachers were priming them for victim ideology. I pulled my kid and put him into a Catholic school. The teaching was mediocre and I had to bring in a tutor. He questioned my choice as the public school had a stellar academic reputation. I told him, I could fix the inadequate teaching with tutors but I couldn't fix the lack of character with tutors.

My daughter finally relented to his insisting (for two years) on going to public high school next year on the condition he would do early college and take only one class at the school. Miracles never cease; he chose to do the early college but remain at the Christian school. He said he didn't need all the drama of the high school.

A fantastic piece, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing. First time reader here.

The culture war is a Hydra.

So many heads, each spitting acid. All animated from the same black heart.

Nothing is safe. Little that is good, or was good, can escape it.

It became easier to understand when I framed it for myself as a war. A multi-generational war. Acid pouring down, decade on decade. Corroding every pillar. A slow-time takedown by timeless evil.

They have been busy. And as with the Plandemonium, the majority are acting as Stormtroopers for the Black Hats. Or perhaps flying monkeys.

How long will it take for the cultural psychosis to lift? We've pretty much been at MK Ultra levels of psyops for years or decades. You don't just walk away from that without damage, without disability. Our children may not walk away from that, healthy, particularly if the WHO gets its way with them.

A generation, written off, quite possibly.

After the rampaging Monster is put down and smoke has cleared, we'll see where we stand. Who still stands. And what we can build together.

Until then this is one tragedy amid many.

For now, we need to make the psychopaths conducting this democide feel unsafe.

The Hydra isn't going to kill itself.

Peace.

Thank you for reading. The ugly benefit of the lockdowns is that we have better clarity on how bad it is.

The entire toxic male mantra is hyped by too few voices getting too much press. Young men need to be taught that life isn't some onerous bill to begrudgingly pay each month, but an amazing journey. They have an adventure just waiting for them and the creator has set a path before them if they will but follow it..

God is male, He has made them as they are, and did a fine job of it too.

The unknown future rolls towards us.. I face it with a new sense of hope, for if we can teach a terminator respect for human life maybe we all can.

Thank you for reading; I am truly honored. I went to an event last night in support of teachers still fighting vax mandates. Many quoted God or passages from the bible. I used to flinch when people did this. I now know that many who were the bravest in this fight relied upon their religious convictions. Respect for humanity seems to emanate from religious beliefs. I am not there yet, but I am certainly a willing admirer.

Strongly held principles are to be treasured, and are benchmarks of freedom. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by so much hypocrisy and corruption, as your essay points out. Those "toxic" males are often the ones willing to die for the propaganda they have heard all their lives. It breaks my heart to think that tomorrow Americans will celebrate a holiday that remembers their sacrifices for the military industrial complex.

And now the medical industrial complex. I highly recommend Dr. Yoho's substack. He has great interviews and when he does essays, he often reads them and he has an excellent voice. It is like an air traffic controller guiding you through turbulent skies.

I read Dr. Yoho. Another reason I lose so many hours a day! So many brilliant people on Substack, and many are only commenting. Helps me stay relatively sane.

I, too, entered my twenties in the early 80s. It turns out we who came of age in that era understand what equality and responsibility mean in a way young Women now apparently don’t. And, frankly, their preoccupation with their feelings reveals they’re not very bright at the same time.

Honestly, many Girls today are the biggest narcissists and weaklings I’ve ever seen. They’re straight up societal saboteurs who pretend their neurotic hysteria is for the greater good. They’re manipulative Bullies, when it comes right down to it.

There’s an art to making your way in life. The world’s always a hard place but focusing on the truly good and noble things beyond the self helps you forge a path ahead. Yet these safe-space demanding Girls can’t grasp life’s filled with endless opportunities for Improv, so they choose to create chaos as their one note response to the world instead.

They’re decidedly anti art and anti life.

Amen sister. I feel bad for both the young men and women. But there’s a woman I know who’s in her fifties and she parrots this stuff too. As a friend asked “she doesn’t have a man does she?” She doesn’t but does have cats
