This is a bunch of BS and no one can see it because it's covered in a veneer of traditional conservatism. If whoever was writing this was being honest, they would have replaced "masculine American male" with "slave and societal whipping boy".
...there is no place in society for the man who refuses to shave his chest or wear skinny jeans.
This isn't the first time I've heard "skinny jeans" decried as the bane of masculinity. Apparently, no trad con rant is complete without the mention of skinny jeans because that is obviously at the root of the decline of America but they forgot to mention that Harry Styles wearing a dress isn't masculine because dunking on that is way easier that actually dealing with what's really undermining masculinity.
...you are solely responsible for the safety and well being of your family.
Great, men are responsible for their family, but where's their authority established? It's not, and responsibility without authority is slavery.
How can you be a good husband if you can't defend your wife? How can you be a good father if you can't protect your children?
What about men being able to defend themselves? Apparently the measure of a man doesn't have any metric apart from what he can do for women and children.
Grow a beard, wear your boots, eat your steak, carry a knife, own a gun...
How is any of this essential masculinity? This is glorified larping and I know a lot of people who can check off all these boxes but aren't particularly manly.
protect your woman
Again with the defense of women which leads to a question that will never be answered; "what does the feminine American female" look like? My guess it would pretty much look like the original post and definitely wouldn't include "obedience", "submission", or "helping".
I'll tell you what's missing from this description.
Having a purpose and goals in life that are based off of what you want.
Dominating and enacting your will on yourself, and your surroundings.
Being strong (physically, mentally, and emotionally) for your own sake.
Taking risks and pushing yourself
And did anyone else notice that providing and protecting parents in their old age was conspicuously missing?
