The Testosterone Problem [One Minute Feature]

With all the line-blurring between society’s definition of male and female, and the constant message that masculinity is “toxic,” what are our sons supposed to do? It seems that some discussions desperately need to be had between parents and sons to encourage them in who God made them to be.

Society’s Agenda Against Masculinity

Our society increasingly attempts to remove lines between what’s male and female. So why, then, is there such a push to protect females, while making our males feel ashamed for having so-called toxic masculinity? All this while touting a boundaries-free environment that expects, and even urges, our sons to be sexual pigs.

Today’s boys don’t need to be ashamed of their God-given testosterone, and they certainly don’t need society encouraging females to toy with it. Our sons, instead, need to be taught to harness and embrace it. Discuss these cultural hypocrisies with your sons, because, properly harnessed, testosterone is also the hormone that protects, cherishes, and rescues women.
