In his Dec. 27 opinion piece in this newspaper, Don Feder wrote, “Donald Trump’s victory marks a return of masculinity for the United States of America.”
The premise of Mr. Feder’s argument is simple and clear: “The popular mandate of President-elect Donald Trump is an affirmation of traditional masculinity. The war on men, orchestrated by the extreme left, has suffered a serious setback with his election. Mr. Trump was told [time and again] that he’d have to soften his message to appeal to … voters. He didn’t, and it doesn’t seem to have hurt him.”
Mr. Feder is absolutely right. If the 2024 election proved anything, it is this: The American electorate is begging for a few good men to step to the front and lead. In other words, when given a choice between a feminist candidate muttering platitudes of nebulous joy and a man’s man who, after nearly getting killed by a sniper’s bullet, raises his fist and shouts, “Fight, fight, fight,” we will choose conviction, courage and masculinity every time.
