Feminism's War On Masculinity
With an admitted male-feminist Prime Minister, Canada became the battlefront of the campaign to turn the Western world's men into docile submissives women can dominate.
In the latest news from the feverish feminist march to social supremacy, the entire board of Hockey Canada–the national body that rules and regulates all organized hockey in the country below the professional level–resigned last week.
Succumbing to relentless political, media, activist, social media, corporate and sports community pressure, they followed interim CEO Andrea Skinner over the cliff in lemming-like fashion.
Skinner herself resigned just prior to the whole board after being appointed to take over from Michael Brind'Amour just this past August.
Brind'Amour resigned when speciously detailed allegations of a sensationalized sexual assault from 2018 made it to the news, allegedly committed by eight members of a junior hockey team against one woman.
The woman made her complaint not to law enforcement, but to Hockey Canada, which then passed on the complaint to the local police where the incident allegedly occurred. Once police opened an investigation, the woman refused to speak with them. The police completed the investigation without her cooperation and found no evidence for criminal charges.
When that fell through, a second allegation suddenly surfaced, going all the way back to 2003. Hockey Canada and local police from that incident opened an investigation, but to date, no news of any results has been forthcoming. (“The Hockey Canada scandal: what we know, and don’t know, about the two sexual assault incidents,” Omar Mosleh, TheStar.com, July 22, 2022.)
“The departures are the latest development in a saga that has seen reopened investigations, reports of a secret fund to settle abuse claims and the release of an action plan meant to 'eliminate toxic behavior.' The Canadian government froze Hockey Canada's federal funding in June, and sponsors began to cut ties with the organization that month.” (“Hockey Canada leadership steps down amid ongoing sexual assault scandal,” Glynn A. Hill, WashingtonPost.com, Oct. 11, 2022.)
A number of provincial governments have also withdrawn all financial support from Hockey Canada. The list of major corporate sponsors pulling financial and corporate community support from the organization keeps growing: Bauer Canada–a major hockey equipment supplier–joining ranks with Nike, Canadian Tire and Tim Horton's in detaching themselves from Hockey Canada with righteously indignant condemnation.
If you want an idea of what kind of a social bludgeoning this is to Canada, Canadian culture, tradition, custom and community, it helps to understand that hockey and the hockey culture to Canada is like baseball and baseball culture is to the USA.
Most Canadian boys, and starting recently (no problem with that), increasingly, girls, learn to skate soon after they learn to walk, and are playing house-league or rep hockey before their baby teeth fall out. For example, I got my first pair of skates and a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey for Christmas when I was four. By eight, I was playing house-league. By eleven, I was in the municipal region rep league and played until I was eighteen.
In Canada, hockey’s the stuff most young boys' (and usually, their dads' and some moms') dreams are made of.
So this assault on not just a sport, but a cultural and national character-defining institution, is a life-threatening blow to a tradition that's been in the Canadian blood for about as long as there's been a Canada.
And the dismaying and disturbing part of it all is that these latest developments are symptomatic of a general condition that's developed as the result of the social and cultural campaign being waged in Canada (along with the rest of the Western world), in which carefully orchestrated events are being exploited by powerful, influential and politically, economically, socially and culturally dominant forces in Western society, who are dedicated to an agenda that includes–for purposes ultimately only they really know while the rest of us can only guess at–the forced emasculation of boys and men through social and cultural manipulation, coercion, seduction and intimidation.
The Dynamics of Cultural Re-Engineering
Along with all the public pearl clutching and righteously indignant histrionics over the need to completely overhaul the flagship of what is arguably one of Canada's most significant (and, by the way, once nationally unifying) cultural institutions, an almost unanimous chorus of calls has been issuing for months now, decrying like a nuclear-meltdown claxon the desperate urgency to institute a Great Reset-like “culture change” in Canada's national pastime:
“Hockey Canada’s culture must change in wake of ‘extremely horrific’ sexual assault allegations, Sport Minister says.” (Joy Spearchief-Morris, GlobeAndMail.com, July 6, 2022.)
“Hockey Canada has apologized amidst its sexual misconduct scandal. But will the 'culture of secrecy' really change?” (Kieran Leavitt and Joshua Clipperton, TheStar.com, July 14, 2022.)
“What needs to change in Canada's hockey culture?” (Cross Country Checkup, CBC.com/radio, July 29, 2022.)
“'There’s a culture to change': Hockey Canada resignations just 'first step', Trudeau says.” (Joshua Clipperton, NationalPost.com, October 11, 2022.)
And one online outlet even went so far as to suggest that far from being just a specific scandal in a particular organization, it's the national pastime of hockey itself that's in large part responsible for “...so much of what is wrong in this country, from the top down...”; suggesting that hockey itself is the source of the injustices and inequalities with which Canadian society is apparently plagued. (Nora Loreto, ReadPassage.com, October 12, 2022.)
With the subtly of a two-hander to the head, the message being air-horned across the country for the past few months has been that hockey has traditionally been under “the control” of “toxic masculinity” since, like, forever, which is an “existential threat” not just to women and girls but to the country and its society; that the controlling body of hockey in Canada, even under the leadership of a woman, hasn't been responsive enough to this “existential threat,” and; that only a wholesale “culture change” from top-to-bottom (not just in hockey, but in the nation as a whole), will succeed in ensuring hockey doesn't destroy the country.
And, since its the contention of those concerned that the national pastime has been under “the control” of “toxic masculinity” (which is simply misandrist-supremacist code for “mature men who refuse to submit to the domination and control of feminists in every aspect of existence”), the only viable “culture change” that can be acceptable is for feminists (supported by feminist-approved allies) to take over the rule and regulation of Canada's national pastime and remake hockey, Canada–and Canada's men and boys by implied extension disingenuously disguised–into a manifestation no longer “toxic” to Canada's well-being.
Which is just another avenue of approach the feminist emasculation brigadeers have employed to disguise their campaign to remake the West's men into the compliant submissives they can direct, dominate and control from a position of the universal power they're in the process of seizing; and Hockey Canada is just the latest high-value target to fall into their cross-hairs for the accomplishment of their dominionist goals.
Is there really any need for any kind of “culture change?”
I'd say there is.
But not because of what the feminist-sociopolitical-corporate complex is telling us; but because of what they've been doing to the men and boys of the Western world for the last few decades that's resulted in the problems that need to be solved in the first place.
Mythical “Toxic Masculinity” Isn’t The Problem
The problem isn't with “masculinity” which is “toxic.” The problem lies in the socially and culturally reinforced deterioration of the influence of mature, responsible, good men on the upbringing of the boys for whom they serve as an example to which to aspire.
When I was playing hockey, there was no such thing as “toxic masculinity,” because we as boys were under the direction and influence of men who were mature, responsible, and although certainly not flawless, for the most part mindful, respectful and displaying most of the good qualities to which boys always need to be exposed in order to grow into the same kind of good men a good society, good women and good children (especially boys), need.
Sure, there were bad apples. There are in every bunch. Among women as well. But they were an insignificant minority overwhelmed by the majority of men who were just good men, contrary to the hundred-years of belligerently feminist pop culture propaganda trying to convince society otherwise.
It wasn't until after a few decades of promoting perpetual adolescence as an aspiration for boys and young men, that the ranks of mature, good men began thinning from the levels of social and cultural influence necessary to keep promoting good, responsible, mature masculinity and manhood to growing boys and young men. When grown men who aren't much more than juveniles (and for the most part, delinquent, too) occupy all the social and cultural positions from which boys and young men take their examples, of course we're going to just keep getting more of the same; and of course a “culture” reflecting that adolescent incorrigibility is going to develop, without any real men around to guide their younger counterparts into responsible maturity.
The answer, however, can't be, “Well, since it's been men in 'in control' of it all for so long, and since it's been under men that this 'culture' has developed, the only solution has to be for women to take over and reshape it (and us) all.”
The only thing to which that proposition is a solution, is to the problem of how feminists can completely take over the running of a society so they can remake it in their own, supremacist image, without incurring the rightful wrath of a society made up of people who, for the most part, have been getting along just fine–and were in the last couple of decades starting to learn how to get along just great–before the agenda of the feminist-supremacists became the hysterical mania of the day that threw it all into the higgledy-piggledy mess it's in now.
Women aren't men. They can't be men and they can't be like men. Why any of them want to, I'll never understand; and it only becomes clear in the context of the desire to seize social control and exercise dominion and power over everybody and everything.
Boys don't grow into men by women telling them how to. Boys grow into men by taking example from good, mature, responsible, mindful men that teach them how to. The best a woman can do in that respect is to turn a boy into her own idea of what a man should be, which more often than not, isn't what a real man is, and never was.
And the worst?
Turning boys into women; or at the best of that, effeminate men; or, barring that, in a cultivated environment of permissiveness and promiscuity, letting them stagnate at the level of the very wild adolescents with no discipline, no sense of right and wrong, no morality, no maturity and no responsibility, that have become the problematic products of the very culture that's developed as a result of the feminist social re-engineering agenda.
Evil Triumphs When Good Men Are Erased and Replaced by Bad Boys
The answer to “toxic masculinity”–which is really just the immature, unguided, undisciplined, corrupted and never-fully-developed, perpetual-adolescence that it isn't a far cry to suggest the feminist-supremacist agenda has deliberately steered into developing, to give it the excuse it needs to claim entitlement to power as the “antidote”–is to let the many mature, fully developed men of whom there are still plenty among us, take back the bringing up of our boys to guide them into manhood the way only mature, responsible men can do.
But it's precisely those men, in addition to the psychologically-stunted, perpetually juvenile delinquent, feminist-supremacist corruptions of them, who are also lumped with the latter under the rubric of “toxic masculinity.”
All because they refuse to simply give up and give in to a movement of female-supremacist women who are really just psychologically-stunted little girls who want to be the men they think they need to be to control it all so they can make boys, men, society and the world into the “safe space” they need it to be to acquiesce to their dominionist aspirations and whimsies.
The problem isn’t the myth of “toxic masculinity.” It’s the reality of boys and young men being encouraged by a popular culture dominated in large part by misandrist supremacism, to remain the juvenile idiots (and now upgraded to criminal juvenile idiots) they see themselves portrayed as in movies and on TV, for their whole lives; while having nothing but either effete, effeminate men, or full-grown juvenile idiots to look up to as examples, who themselves can do nothing but watch the younger versions of themselves be nothing but the same juvenile idiots they themselves were unwittingly duped into being.
Unless real men–and the real women out there who are still with us–make a significant social comeback, scandals like the staged soap-operatic Hockey Canada debacle and the social instability and rancor accompanying it, are only going to continue to be the nonsensical, nincompoopish, nihilistic norm of the New Normal we’re watching with helpless dismay unfolding all around us. Canada will be the staging-ground from which the assault spreads, and our good neighbor to the south of us–where the same groundwork is already being laid–will be its first target.
And in case you wanted to say, “But Gene, this sounds like politics, and you keep saying you don’t do politics.” That’s right. I don’t, and this isn’t. We have to understand everything we see going on around us is a reflection of the spiritual conflict taking place in the higher realms, of which God’s kingdom is the highest. All these processes and manifestations were witnessing in the world are symptomatic representations of that conflict in earthly terms, and so is what I’ve been talking about here. All the chaos, injustice, malice and destruction running rampant right now are part of the spiritual disturbance that’s setting the stage for the final conflict the Book of Revelation promises us will come.
Lord help us all.

Calumny is the feminist approach these days; affirmative action has moved in the direction of criminals and perverts and is now taking women for granted.

And add to that the historical reality that all great "empires"...the Persians, the Trojans, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and in later years the British...all rose and perished within 240 years. Each "rotted from within". America has now passed that 240 year mark and the "rot" is visible all around us and now accelerating quickly. We are past the Mercedes and Land Rover Years and the camels are in our yards. And 75 million Americans demonstrated last November by voting for Biden that they know nothing of history and/ or think we should all be riding camels!"
