Well stated. One of the key reasons that the Democrats lost so muchground this election, was because they pushed the notion of Toxic Masculinity over the last decade. And Trump was one of their biggest examples. Well, some men feared this stereotype and capitulated. But over time, the manly, and yes humble, men decided they were sick to high Heaven i’m taking that wrap. I believe lots of women also resented this more and more. The shifting voting demographics across sex and race certainly go along with his theory.

Each word of yours is so true and powerful and those who can embrace the concept of 'servant-leadership' with humbleness and humility in abundance are empowered to change the dynamics in any and every walk of life. Loved it, Alexander.

Current culture in the USA at least is pushing toxic masculinity as an issue. Where if a man wants to be a husband and create a family then he is toxic for wanting to create actually what God created the family unit. They push and many have accepted that a man is irresponsible by impregnating a woman and he has no responsibility because women have that so called right to abortion. That lets the man off the hook when it comes to responsibility for his action. The movement is really to destroy the nuclear family and accept things as normal that are not Godly.

Perhaps it’s time for women to articulate their thoughts on what is manly and for men to articulate their definition of a woman and then update those few

who are ignorant of both views!

Respectfully of course!

Humility is powerful because it helps us grow and be strong without needing to show off. As mentioned in your essay, real strength isn’t about ego; it’s about kindness, respect, and staying grounded. Thanks Alexander.

Well said, my friend. Humbleness is the first step to self-forgetfulness and self-transcendence, wherein God and Christ can truly shine through us. There's a reason why pride is listed among the seven deadly sins....
