"A pillar of manliness has always been “not female” — read weak and subservient. As women’s identity has come to include independence and strength, the definition of manliness becomes more uncertain, causing many men and some traditional women anger and frustration. Leaders of the Republican Party have sensed that discontent and cultivated it to their political advantage.
Don’t be fooled by Republican proclamations to protect our children. The real message is to protect their manhood, something many in the Republicans’ political base feel is slipping away. Something the leaders of the Republican Party are counting on for political advantage."
Political advantage. And the insecure right is eating it up.
