There is a hardwired instinct in all men that drives them to give their lives and use their strength in projects and ambitions beyond themselves.  This drive is built into them by their creator, because he made them in his image, and it exists around the world, across all religions, nations, and generations. It is part of masculinity.  All men have this instinctive drive, it is only a matter of how they use it.

For a few hundred years, Christianity held influence over American masculinity.  Men used their strength and ambition to build, bless, provide for, and protect the weak.  This is not the only kind of masculinity there is, but it is the kind that develops from a worldview centered around Christ, who used his power to serve and not to be served, and who gave up his life for the sake of others, knowing his eternity was secure.  Men who follow Christ will use their strength the way he did for the same reasons he did.

Christian masculinity built the United States from its infancy, starting over a century before it became a nation.  Christian masculinity fought wars for independence, not wars for dominance. This is a unique trait found nowhere else in history.  Christian masculinity shed its own blood to set others free, and built businesses to serve their neighbors and provide jobs and wealth to their communities. After several centuries of unprecedented wealth, freedom, and security, Christian masculinity died of a thousand cuts, many of them self-inflicted by a lukewarm and passive church.

This leaves a masculinity vacuum to be filled.  Christian masculinity will either be replaced by non-Christian masculinity, or it will resurrect, but something will fill the void.  It is only a matter of what.

Woke Feminism

Feminism will not fill the masculinity gap.  If feminism could do this, it would have.  Feminism is a false religion that attacks Christian masculinity and Christian femininity but builds nothing in its place.  Feminism has nothing to offer.  It is an empty worldview.  Women cannot be men. They can be bad women or good women, but they cannot be men.  The harder they try the stupider all of it gets.

China

China has a surplus of about 30 million men.  These are men who have no chance of marriage and family, because the previous generation “aborted” murdered all the girls.  When the Chinese government ordered a one-child policy for an entire generation, the parents chose to have boys, and if they were pregnant with a girl, they killed her.

The Chinese government removed the existence of God from their minds, and became futile and evil in their thoughts.  God said “It is not good for the man to be alone,” and China raised up a generation of 30 million men to be alone.  The results will not be good. China did not raise these men to use their strength for building, providing, and protecting. China raised them as atheists who fear and obey the state instead of God.

What will these surplus and godless men do with their strength?  They will do what all men do who have no direction, no eternal worldview, and no domesticating influence in the home.  They will kill and die in wars or be enslaved.  The ones who survive these evils will become the enslavers and destroyers themselves over whatever is left.  It is not because they are Chinese, but because they are statists with no fear of God.  The only reason they are alive is because their parents sacrificed their sisters in their place, and these men live every day in that worldview.
