The War On Men Is A War On Truth
By Mark Keenan
There is a strange trend in the modern West: telling the truth has become an act of defiance. Truth has not changed—but society’s tolerance for it has. At the core of this decline is the erosion of masculinity, the force that once stood guard over truth.
What once anchored civilization became something that polite society treats as a provocation. Truth confronts feelings, narratives, and institutions that depend on fragile illusions. Yet truth has never survived by accident—it survives only through courage. And historically, that courage fell especially to men. The responsibility to defend truth has never belonged to men alone—but throughout history, masculine courage has often carried that burden when it mattered most.
History is full of men who exposed corruption—not because it was safe, but because it was right. From military officers who reported failures that endangered soldiers, to scientists who challenged the official COVID-19 narrative, to men who resisted communist regimes, truth was defended at personal cost. Their names were rarely honored—but their courage preserved sanity and reality.
Today, speaking truth carries a new kind of risk—not only legal or political, but professional and social. A telling example occurred in 2021, when Coca-Cola held a DEI training instructing employees to “try to be less white.” Questioning the premise risked social or professional consequences. Across corporate America, the pattern is the same: once certain narratives become mandatory, honesty becomes hazardous.
