He Called for Adam: Masculinity, the Gender Psyop, and the Return to Truth

“Sean is not your son, James.”

James dropped to his knees right where he stood and began to sob. Some would say he wailed. The words had come from his mother, but the truth had already been living inside him — he just hadn’t been ready to face it.

Sean Richard. The baby boy James thought was his. The strangest part? James didn’t even argue. No pushback, no denial, no demand for proof. Just a sick, quiet surrender. Somewhere deep down, he already knew.

He had been committed to Sean’s mother, Christine, for five years. Through the fights, the fake reconciliations, and the lingering mistrust. He had been there for every OB appointment. He built the baby registry. He chose Sean’s middle name and gave him his last name. He cut the cord on the day he was born. And yet… trust had always been absent because it wasn’t consciously cultivated. That’s why the lie unraveled so quickly. James wasn’t just grieving the loss of a son. He was grieving the years he gave to a woman who never really gave herself to him.

In the aftermath, his view of women became twisted. Love felt like a trap. Women looked like vultures. Liars. Cheaters. Opportunists. His heartbreak hardened into bitterness mainly due to a lack of healthy coping mechanisms and/or a dependable brotherhood. And somewhere between mourning and madness, James became the kind of man our culture now blames without understanding: cold, detached, uninterested in commitment.

But maybe the problem started long before Christine, or James for that matter. Perhaps they were both victims of a movement that is almost untouchable in terms of thoughtful, rational criticism…

Dawn of Feminism

The feminist movement of the 1960s wasn’t just a cultural shift — it was a coordinated takedown of the traditional, nuclear family.

Many call it progress. But from a spiritual and societal perspective, it looks more like a strategic psyop. The goal? Indirectly undermine women by undermining men, fracture families, and turn the State into everyone’s new “Daddy.” A dependent population is a controlled population. When masculinity is shamed, testosterone drops. When testosterone drops, so does critical thinking, independence, and courage.

Let’s be clear: women did deserve equal treatment under the law. But somewhere along the line, the momentum of “equal opportunity” morphed into “female supremacy.” It wasn’t about fairness anymore — it was about flipping the power structure. And men? We became the villains of a story we didn’t write. With each passing year, society didn’t just make manhood feel “wrong” — it pumped out plastics, fake food, and passive habits that have literally drained testosterone from the modern male.

And somehow, it’s all become normal. Remember when Viagra first came out? The ads showed gray-haired men trying to reignite the spark with their wives. Today, most ED commercials show guys in their 20s-30s — trying to hook up with women their age. That’s not normal. You’re young — your body should still work. You shouldn’t need a pill for ED in your 20s. Arguably, a man should never need one if he stays fit, does not drink alcohol, eats well, manages stress, and keeps his blood circulating properly. There’s more to the story than a guy throwing up his hands at 28 and saying, “I guess I have ED.”¹

This movement didn’t just redefine gender roles — it redefined trust. It pitted men and women against each other instead of beside each other. It deepened the “us vs. them” mindset already infecting America through racial division and anti-war protests. And what better time to launch a psyop like this... than when the country was already weakened and divided? Divide the home, and you divide the nation. And once men lost the home, they lost the will to fight for it.

The result? Two broken generations, both angry for different reasons, and both finding it difficult to build anything lasting with the opposite sex.

We are now living in the ruins left behind by two broken generations. Gen X was the first to fully absorb the impact of second-wave feminism: raised during the collapse of the nuclear family, many grew up in homes without fathers or with mothers who were taught to “need no man.” They became latchkey kids — emotionally neglected, disconnected from legacy, and often silently disillusioned. Then came the Millennials, who inherited the fallout: higher divorce rates, rampant fatherlessness, blurred gender roles, and the rise of hookup culture. This generation was told to “man up” without being shown what manhood actually is. They were shamed for masculine instincts while being handed a script that celebrates empowerment without accountability. As a man born in 1986, please note that this article is written from a millennial perspective.

Masculinism Rising

History has a rhythm. When one extreme rises, another eventually answers it.

Just as second-wave feminism surged during the Vietnam War — a time when men were being drafted and dying while society debated their worth — a new wave is rising now. Post-COVID, post-lockdown, post-collapse of the traditional work model, masculinism is awakening.

But this isn’t about domination. It’s about definition. Men are no longer asking permission to be men. They’re questioning the scripts they were handed — the ones that told them masculinity was toxic, ambition was selfish, strength was oppressive, and fatherhood was optional. We’re seeing the pendulum swing. Upon learning about the cultural psyop that weakened men, many men are reacting with anger. Some feel played and are making women the scapegoat (most likely part of the psyop all along). That’s part of why I’m writing this. Grace must be given — both to the men who are reacting in bitterness and to the women who unknowingly benefited from feminism.

Because the real enemy isn’t each other. It’s Satan. The spiritual forces at work² in this world want men and women at each other’s throats. They want families fractured, fathers removed, and trust destroyed — because they know that strong, Christ-centered families carry the Gospel further. And more people hearing the Gospel means more people in heaven. And Satan? He blew his spot in heaven — and he knows it. So his mission on Earth is to drag as many souls into the fire with him as he can. Misery loves company.

Men are lifting again. Reading again. Forming tribes, sharpening one another, searching for identity, legacy, and truth. They’re stepping out of passive consumerism and reengaging with purpose. Not just to feel better — but to be better. For their future wives, their future kids, and their own souls. This isn’t about ego. It’s about restoration.

Where I Borrowed Image From

Just as feminism once emerged in response to real pain and inequality, today’s wave of masculinism is rising out of betrayal, confusion, cultural erasure — and, most deeply, a lack of faith in a Higher Power. But unlike feminism, this movement isn’t backed by government grants, institutional support, catchy slogans, or the deep state — because the government doesn’t want a nation of strong men. The Founding Fathers built a country that needed strong men. The United States is no longer a country, however. It is a business. The sycophants currently in power want something different: A strong government that can easily control a population of weak men, which trickles down to women and children. This resurgence of masculinity isn’t polished. It isn’t subsidized. It’s powered by suffering. And by men who finally got tired of pretending.

The Elephant in the Room

Here it is — the part most people avoid: We cannot heal what we refuse to name.

And the truth is, many women benefited from the cultural decline of men. Not all — but many. As men were broken down, women were lifted. They were encouraged to pursue independence, empowerment, and self-love. Men were told to “get in touch with their feelings,” but only if those feelings aligned with cultural narratives. Struggling boys and men were sent to female therapists when in reality, they needed a strong man guiding them through “the great outdoors.” If a man spoke with clarity, conviction, or pain that made others uncomfortable, he was dismissed, mocked, or labeled a misogynist. So, men went silent. Or angry. Or numb. And now? The cost of this imbalance is everywhere. In the dating market. In schools. In churches. In mental health stats. In the prisons. In the streets. In homes with no fathers and kids with no compass.

📊 Fatherlessness in America:

• Approximately 18 million children in the U.S. — nearly 1 in 4 — live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home.

• Fatherless families are four times more likely to live in poverty compared to married-couple families.

• 60% of youth suicides occur in fatherless homes.

🧠 Men's Mental Health:

• Men die by suicide at a rate approximately four times higher than women, accounting for nearly 80% of all suicides.

• Young American men (ages 15 to 34) report higher levels of loneliness than both young American women and their counterparts in other wealthy countries. Specifically, 25% of young U.S. men said they felt lonely for much of the prior day

🚨 Incarceration Rates:

• Men constitute 93.5% of the federal prison population in the United States.

The elephant in the room is this:

You cannot shame a generation of men into silence and then act surprised when they stop showing up. You cannot mock their instincts, ignore their cries, and erase their purpose — then wonder why they retreat into apathy, porn, video games, or nihilism. You can’t kill the king spirit in men and still expect a kingdom. All in the name of “YAS QUEEN.” And now, in the wreckage, we’re seeing something even more confusing: the burden of past choices being pushed onto men who didn’t make them. Men who grew up fatherless are being asked to fix fatherlessness. Men who didn’t abandon their families are being pressured to redeem the ones who did. And most notably — men who are trying to build families of their own are being shamed for not wanting to step into ones that already exist. Let’s be honest: not every man wants to raise someone else’s child. And that doesn’t make him immature. Or misogynistic. Or “less Godly.” It makes him honest. And honestly, that boundary deserves respect.

We should absolutely uplift single mothers — support them, honor their effort, and create space for healing and grace. Listen to me, fellas: If you know deep down that you do not want to be a stepfather — that is okay. That boundary does not make you selfish. But here’s the catch: If that’s where you stand, then steer your dating decisions accordingly. Do not lead a single mother on if you have no intention of building with her and being a dependable role model for her kids³. Let’s stop demonizing men for having standards rooted in conviction, desire, and calling. Restoration isn’t built through guilt. It’s built through truth. And grace. And both men and women need room for both.

If we want healed families, healthy marriages, and whole communities — it starts with restoring men. It has always started and ended with men. Even in the Garden, when sin entered the world, God didn’t call out for Eve. He called for Adam. If that stirs something in you as a woman, hear this in love: men are no longer interested in being both savior and scapegoat. Humility and grace are needed — not just from men, but from women too. If your God-given spirit still longs for protection, provision, and guidance, but the world keeps telling you that you can do everything a man can do, then you’ve got a choice to make. A real man won’t bend to both your spiritual and worldly expectations all the time. Not only is that impossible, but his peace is sacred. And part of protecting that peace is telling the truth: about what happened, who it hurt, and what we now must rebuild.

Not in bitterness. Not in blame. But in clarity — and in Christ.

1. Your body was designed to work — and to recover. Erectile dysfunction at that age isn’t normal, and it shouldn’t be treated like some quirky personality trait or a random misfortune. If you stay active, manage your stress, cut back on alcohol, get quality sleep, eat real food, and take care of your circulation, chances are you’ll perform just fine. The bigger issue? We’ve normalized dysfunction and labeled it “manhood” — when in reality, it’s just a warning sign.

2. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. - Ephesians 6:12 KJV

3. 🚨Let me be honest: I’m not writing this from a pedestal — I’m writing it from experience.

There was a time I dated a single mother who could no longer have children. Deep down, I knew I wasn’t called to be a stepfather only. But I tried to override that conviction — even though I wanted a child of my own. I told myself I could make it work.

She would say things like, “You do have what it takes to be a husband and father.”
And the truth is, I already knew that — long before she said it.
But hearing it from her felt less like affirmation and more like manipulation.
Words meant to keep me in a role I was never meant to fill.

Fellas, if that’s not your assignment — don’t fake the application. It doesn’t make you selfish to say no. It makes you honest. And both she — and her kids — deserve a man who’s fully in, not halfway there out of guilt or pressure.
