Co-Host Frank Miniter (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/frank) Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. And so the cycle goes. Where we are at this precise moment in history is open to debate, but one thing is for sure: both my returning guest Frank Miniter from America's 1st Freedom and I are all for being a stronger man rather than a weaker one, regardless. A major part of that is actively embracing masculinity rather than passively sitting on the sidelines. One of the first (and best) ways to affirm that mindset is to actively embrace personal freedom rather than surrendering it. Are you an individual, or are you part of a collective? According to Frank, you're the latter, he cannot see why any woman would take you seriously. And indeed, the same men who lapse into a societal 'coma of comfort' tend to be the same ones who get nowhere in their careers, drown in porn, fail to attract women, and then blame everyone else for their frustrations...including the women themselves. But here's the thing. Over the past few years in particular, plenty of us have felt our freedoms get eroded, and that seems perfectly okay to many. Political dogma feels like it has become the new religion for many, and it's a judgmental one with little forgiveness for 'heretics'. The idea of getting one's news from multiple sources even seems quaint in the current zeitgeist. As a result, too many people feel as if they can no longer speak their mind...or defend themselves...or even THINK for ourselves. What happened there? What's the masculine response? And what's at stake when it comes to women, attraction and even being the head of our household?
