‘A Gentleman’s Guide’ To Fighting For Masculinity Amid Toxic Feminism

It is a bogus book. The final sentence from the review:

"Yes, men are struggling to adapt to more a feminized world, and they could certainly use a little more sympathy and support, but they also have the power to assert themselves and be the leaders, fathers, and husbands they were meant to be."

Yeah, that is total bullshit. "... they also have the power to assert themselves ..." No, they don't. What we have is that the powers of the government, including law enforcement and the law courts are taken over and controlled by the feminist power group. Men don't have a flying chance against the power of the government. Men are discriminated against and are second class citizens with most of their human rights, such as the right to due process, to the presumption of innocence and the to an impartial jury taken away from them.

"They have to power to assert themselves." My ass. Both the book and the reviewer are totally disconnected from reality. What a fake.

What a joke The Federalist is pretending to be pro male after backing anti male laws like male only conscription and making articles dismissing the men's rights movement

Even the article is written in a way that blames men for any pastimes they have that don't involve relationships with women and criticizes the author of the (still traditionalist) book for making generalized statements about women (but of course no objection to when the author does the same for men)

So what is the underlying principle of masculinity? According to Baskerville, it’s leadership: “Being a man has always meant being a leader, and it always will mean that.… Leadership is not an option but an imperative; it, too, comes with the Y chromosome.” All the other manly virtues like strength, courage, and industry all stem from the idea that a man must lead and assume responsibility. Moreover, becoming a leader is all the more important at a time when true masculinity is deemed toxic and men are told to step aside.
...

Nevertheless, despite the attempt to remain constructive, Baskerville can’t seem to hold back his resentment and paranoia towards feminist indoctrination: “It is women, especially politically radicalized women … who will get the upper hand, many of whom do not like men like you.” Whether one agrees with this claim or not, it’s difficult to see how this does anything constructive. If Baskerville means to encourage caution, he could just say so instead of giving the impression that the majority of women today hate gentlemen. Rather, this claim mainly serves as a moral escape hatch for men who have fallen short.In truth, and Baskerville conveniently omits this detail. All too many men have suffered through their own mistakes, not because of some feminist boogeywoman. Nowhere in his book does he address the common addictions (pornography, alcohol, drugs, video games) that hold the majority of modern men down, especially young men. Although one might argue that ending these habits and assuming the role of masculine leadership is implied, more must be said in the interest of relevance and practicality.

Only too late does Baskerville seems to take up the problem of mediocre masculinity, as he urges men in his conclusion to take charge and “stop adopting the stance the world is unfair and that it is your job to take every opportunity to tell the world why it is so unfair.” Thus, after a promising beginning, and a well developed middle, the conclusion of Baskerville’s argument about masculinity falls somewhat flat.

Is that man holding a cancer stick? Is that how we fight for men? By encouraging them to do something as stupid as smoking?

Nice points about education and leadership.

Though, I laughed at "liberal education". This guy almost flawlessly repeats millenia-old nobleman education plethora. And calls it "liberal education", while it should be called "common sence education of a whole person".

About leadership.I may be down voted to hell, but recent month I was feeling sneaky suspicion,that atleast part of people, concerned with men's rights, in reality just want to have same position as feminists, but with dick, mimicking to seem like MRA.
