Democrats and many in the media, including Hollywood, have made masculinity a negative word.

From movies and television show to advertisements men have been shown to be weak, dumb and in need of female guidance in the past several decades.

But Vice President JD Vance has a message for young men that he sent at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend and that message is to embrace your masculinity.

“You know, I guess my message to young people generally is we’re trying to make your life better, and that is the simple thrust of President Trump’s policy is we want you to be able to buy a home, we want you to be able to work a good job, we want you to be able to raise your kids, like I said, according to the values that you believe in, and we want you to be able to build a nice life in this country that all of us love,” he said to Fox News host Mercedes Schlapp.

“That is what we’re trying to do, and you know, you guys more than anybody, more than me, I’m talking about people under the age of 30 in particular, you guys are going to have to deal with the consequences of good policy or of bad policy for much longer than the rest of us,” the vice president said.

“And I just, I want you guys to think about the future and ask yourself, do you want safe communities? Do you want a prosperous life? Do you want to be able to work a good job? Or do you want that job shipped off to China or somewhere else? We’re fighting for you every single day. We want you to help fight for us because we’ve got to win. Not just the policy battles of the next couple of months, we’ve got to win the midterm elections in a couple of years,” Vance continued.

“We need you, we recognize that we need you, and we’re fighting for you every single day. And I think, you know, you asked me, my message to young men is, I think that our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge, you should try to cast aside your family, you should try to suppress what makes you a young man in the first place, and I think that my message to young men is don’t allow this broken culture to send you a message that you’re a bad person because you’re a man, because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you’re competitive,” he said.
