Men and women are not the enemies towards each other. We're complimentary, and it ought to be that way. We're different.

The American Psychological Association. And they said that the characteristics that we generally consider to be manly or masculine are inherently toxic, such as dominance, competitiveness, thoughicism, aggression, etc.

It's not the characteristic that makes it inherently toxic, it's the way that you use it.

Men, it's no secret that we live in an overly feminized culture. Somewhere along the way, we lost the thread. We decided that we weren't worthy. We decided that we as men and our inherent traits and

characteristics and abilities were somehow inherently toxic and that we were the problem.

Collectively, I don't think any man listening to this believes it, but I think collectively

it's safe to assume that we have abdicated our responsibility

as men and we have given it over to the women in our lives. Now, one thing I will be certain

about saying is I do not believe that women are incapable of all things. I don't believe that

they are inferior. I don't believe that they are incapable of

helping us lead in their own ways. But when we transfer our responsibility to women exclusively,

we create all sorts of problems. And we're running that in society today. We're dealing with all sorts of issues and we're running that in society today we're dealing with all

And I'm not here to say that we are or should be adversarial towards women. I think there's obviously, I hope it's obvious, that there's a point in women and men

bonding together, pairing together, working together, because we as men inherently possess some

characteristics that women don't. That's the reality. I know that isn't a safe thing to say in today's environment, but it's the reality.

We are better at some things than women. And conversely, women are better at some things than us.

But we've been conditioned to believe that we, in order to be better, need to act more like women.

I would say the opposite is actually true, that you need to act more like a man in order to

fulfill your duties, your responsibilities, your obligations in what it means to lead, to protect, to provide, and preside.

So today I'm going to break down five things that we need to embrace,

five rules, five mantras, five ideas, ideologies,
