The conversation about men and masculinity is getting complicated. Some people think feminism is taking over this talk. But what's really going on?
Two men, Josh Hawley and Adam Lane Smith, have different views. Hawley wrote a book about being a man, especially a Christian man. Smith helps people build strong relationships. They both think feminism is changing how we talk about men.
Smith says modern feminism thinks men don't care about their families. He also thinks extreme groups on both sides are making the conversation worse. He doesn't believe in "toxic masculinity. " Hawley disagrees with the idea that masculinity is bad. He thinks we need to rebuild it, not change it.
Smith believes feminism is connected to Marxism. He thinks feminism is hurting families. He says modern feminism thinks families are bad and that anyone can raise children. He also says feminism doesn't see a difference between men and women.
In 2022, a doctor said men can get pregnant. Hawley questioned this at a hearing. He thinks "wokeism" is making the conversation about masculinity negative. He says men should use their strength to protect and build.
Hawley thinks men are important for families, communities, and the country. He says houses of worship and mentorship can help young men. Smith agrees that men should provide safety and build a strong future.
