In today’s rapidly evolving twisted society, the definitions of masculinity, fatherhood, and identity are subjects of intense debate. Two prominent figures, actor Anthony Mackie and former NBA star Dwyane Wade, embody contrasting approaches to these themes. Mackie emphasizes traditional values in raising his sons, while Wade supports his child’s gender transition journey. Let’s delve into their perspectives, the historical context of gender-affirming processes, and the discourse surrounding traditional manhood in contemporary society.
Anthony Mackie: Upholding Traditional Masculinity
Anthony Mackie, renowned for his role as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is a father to four sons. He has been vocal about his commitment to instilling traditional values in his children. Expressing concern over what he perceives as the “death of the American male,” Mackie emphasizes raising his boys to become respectful and responsible men. He advocates for humility, respect towards others, and the importance of family. Mackie believes that these values are essential for a cohesive and moral society.
Dwyane Wade: Embracing Gender-Affirming Parenting
In contrast, Dwyane Wade has publicly supported his child, Zaya, who came out as transgender at the age of 12. Wade and his wife, Gabrielle Union, have been open about their journey, emphasizing love, acceptance, and the importance of allowing their child to live authentically. They have actively advocated for LGBTQ+ rights, using their platform to raise awareness and support for the community which from my perspective is where all of the toxicity lives.
Historical Context of Gender-Affirming Processes
The concept of gender transition is not new in the same vein as mental illness has been with us seemingly forever; historical records indicate instances of individuals living as a gender different from their assigned sex. However, medical interventions for gender transition, such as hormone therapy and surgeries, became more prominent in the 20th century. The first documented gender-affirming surgery in the United States occurred in 1966. Since then, advancements in medical science and a growing understanding of gender dysphoria have led to more accessible and accepted gender-affirming procedures. The bottom line is you are what you were born ass and no amount of surgery and playing pretend will change that.
Traditional Manhood and the ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Debate
The term “toxic masculinity” refers to cultural norms that can be harmful to society and men themselves, such as suppressing emotions, maintaining an appearance of hardness, and using violence as an indicator of power. Critics argue that these traits contribute to societal issues like aggression and the devaluation of women. However, proponents of traditional masculinity, like Mackie, argue that qualities such as responsibility, protectiveness, and assertiveness are essential and should not be discarded. They believe that these traits, when guided by moral principles, contribute positively to society. I feel that someone out there is threatened by true manhood and must refer to it in a negative fashion in order to carve a space for their psychosis in society.
The Necessity of Manhood in Modern Society
In contemporary discourse, there’s a growing sentiment that traditional manhood is obsolete or inherently problematic. However, many argue that the core aspects of traditional masculinity—such as strength, leadership, and provision—are vital for societal stability. The challenge lies in differentiating between positive masculine traits and behaviors that are genuinely harmful. Encouraging men to express emotions, practice empathy, and reject violence does not necessitate the abandonment of all traditional masculine qualities.
The contrasting approaches of Anthony Mackie and Dwyane Wade to fatherhood and masculinity reflect broader societal debates. Mackie’s emphasis on traditional values underscores a desire to preserve certain aspects of manhood that he believes are foundational to a healthy society. Conversely, Wade’s support for his child’s gender transition highlights the what many feel is an importance of acceptance and evolving understandings of identity which are backed by what I feel is a Satanic agenda. These differing perspectives some will say invite a deeper conversation about the roles of masculinity, identity, and parenting which are things that need to remain untouched as they worked for us since the beginning of time and recorded history whether you like it or not. Encouraging your young son to cut his dick off is in no way accptable no matter how much the virus controlled media deems it acceptable!
I would love to have a conversation with ANYONE who believes otherwise!
