In the era of Sports Illustrated’s serious publication days, vital discussions on national issues were commonplace. One such instance occurred in December 1960 when an article by then President-elect John F. Kennedy titled “The Soft American” was published. This piece brought to light the waning masculinity seen in the postwar period as men began taking office jobs and transitioning to suburban life.

Kennedy put emphasis on men maintaining physical and mental fitness, noting that a nation’s prosperity is dependent on its citizens’ well-being. His sentiment echoed an age-old belief rooted in Western civilization that robust citizenry served as an essential bedrock for a country’s overall vibrancy. Such ideas, presented with such eloquence and thoughtfulness, are rather uncommon today.

Indeed, Kennedy spoke often about this topic, which helped endear him to his electorate. For Democrats in the 1960s, upholding masculine values was crucial. The idea of going “soft,” as Kennedy framed it, was something many found enticing but believed would bring downfall upon the nation.

Fast-forward six decades later, we find ourselves facing another masculine crisis – from plummeting sperm counts to arising debates over gender identity and declining marriage rates. However, modern Democrats are not heeding Kennedy’s advice; instead of combating it, they seem intent on exacerbating the situation under the pretense that emasculated men are more manageable.

We see evidence of this agenda in their newly introduced plan to revamp and update masculinity for modern times—that is what they’re trying to achieve with Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff serving as principal figures.

Gone are notions of assertiveness and self-asserted challenge; instead, we have Emhoff and Walz embodying male figures who happily subordinate themselves without opposition—particularly towards females. It might sound like conspiracy theory chatter until we take into account major media outlets like CNN openly admitting that Democrats are intentionally targeting non-“testosterone laden” men.

Corporate media’s endorsement of this narrative doesn’t stop at CNN; outlets like The New York Times have followed suit. In a modern redefinition, Democrats now deem masculinity based on adherence to the party line regardless of physical attributes or character traits. This ideology seems engrained into every corner of Democrat philosophy, even lampooning white men for shallow characteristics like their skin color—something Tim Walz willingly accepts.

Furthermore, any denial or dismissals arising from Democrats are mere smokescreen attempts to divert attention away from their thinly veiled masculinization campaign. Media outlets and politicians alike strive to portray figures like Tim Walz as the epitome of manhood—preapproved as part of their broader political agenda.

In summary, there is a stark shift in how Democrats perceive masculinity compared to 60 years ago—going from deeming “softness” detrimental to seeking its widespread adoption. Society ought not be swayed by such notions but rather understand that they serve partisan objectives rather than genuine societal betterment.
