Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren. Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action Picture Quote #1

The welfare culture tells the man he is not a necessary part of the family; he feels dispensable, his wife knows he is dispensable, his children sense it Picture Quote #1

The first priority of any serious program against poverty is to strengthen the male role in poor families Picture Quote #1
