What a year to be a father!
Not only did the number one beer and chocolate bar you’re most likely to use for a s’mores cookout with your kids both decide to run with an endorser that mocked women on their campaigns this year, but he also mocked Dads too.
Honest to goodness, until this very moment, it hadn’t crossed my mind. But somehow, this minute, some man, somewhere, is Dylan Mulvaney’s dad. The humiliation that he experiences—if he actually cares about his son has to be grossly painful.
And it’s not just because his biological boy models bras, panties, leggings, and swimsuits. But because he likely hasn’t engaged his son on the most important rationale he can—his purpose for being part of this life!
At some point, Dylan threw a tantrum, put on women’s clothes, donned make-up, became anorexic, and made that stupid video for TikTok where he paraded around his room pretending to get his period.
Even if he had been estranged from him long before that point, a true man, a true father, would be mortified at the mockery Dylan was making of his intended purpose in this life and every woman on planet Earth.
Speaking for almost every father I personally know, this would have been a crushing thing to experience — yet for the good of his own son — every father I know would have intervened interrupted the nonsense, and aimed at doing the hard work to re-constitute the relationship.
Despite the fact that society has pushed men to the far corners of the culture, we still desperately need them—as fathers—to step in and provide a course correction.
We don’t need embarrassing fathers like Joe Biden. A man, according to his daughter’s own words (in her own private journal,) would take naked showers with his daughter. Or, according to his son’s own laptop would enable his son’s worst habits and do nothing but praise his son publicly when hookers, incest, addiction, and crime had become his defining attributes.
Would a good father continually exploit his son’s horribly premature death by campaigning in his stump speech that his oldest son perished in the war when it was not true?
On the other hand, our culture — while ignoring Biden’s abusive fathering style — holds nothing but contempt for the children of his rival. The media frequently want to point out the imperfections of the Trump children when most are in lasting marriages, and not one of them has wandered anywhere near the heinous history of Hunter Biden.
The culture praises actress Megan Fox for raising her sons in dresses. The administration is blackmailing schools into forcing compliance with gender confusion. And last week—at the White House—women bared their bare chests to brag about their breasts being removed, while a male who had been given breast implants shook his ta-tas for whatever camera he could get in front of.
Fox’s sons, confused kids in schools, and even the bare-chested girls on the White House lawn—all have fathers.
Where are they?
The loss of strong men in a culture always leads to that society’s downfall.
It is close to impossible to argue that we are reaching very near the tipping point in America.
Fathers will never be perfect.
But our society can not function without them. The Marxists who are trying so hard to rearrange all aspects of American life would have us believe we can. They, like the elites in Stalin’s time, believe that your wife and children belong first to them (via the state.) God-fearing men understand their role as protectors/providers.
Ultimately the attack, no matter how subtle, on fathers is indeed an attack on the ultimate Father. He made us. He breathed life into us. And he created us for a unique mission.
As we flourish in that purpose, we will encounter these opposing forces that attempt to neutralize us. It’s our job to grow our roots deep so that they are incapable of moving us.
Be a GREAT father today!
And even if you’ve made mistakes or have regrets about past actions or words—do the best you can today to make the best strides you can to re-engage, re-constitute and reconcile.
You’ve been given the gift of Fatherhood for a reason, and the best life you’ll ever know is living that purpose to the best of your ability!
Time to do it!
