America is waking up. 

After years of being told that gender is fluid, that chromosomes are incidental, and that masculinity is toxic or obsolete, America is rediscovering a truth our culture worked hard to bury: The Y matters. 

The crisis began the moment the “Y” was dismissed. Influential voices turned identity into a DIY project, erased the Y chromosome as a marker of manhood, blurred essential boundaries, and loosened every anchor that once helped boys grow. Time-tested anchors of family, faith, community, mentors, and clear expectations were discarded. 

In the name of compassion, boys were told that male and female were interchangeable, that fathers were optional, and that masculinity was either threatening or foolish. We’re now living with the consequences: Boys are faltering, and a generation is stalling on the road to manhood. 

What we’ve offered boys is not freedom, but confusion. Confusion is crippling. It produces faltering boys instead of faithful men. A nervous system without clarity is a nervous system in distress. That’s not ideology.........
