JD Vance Defends Masculinity at CPAC, Critiques Left's Narrative

At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Vice President JD Vance emphasized the importance of traditional masculinity, declaring that men should not suppress their masculine urges and should embrace their identities. He expressed admiration for Donald Trump as a role model for men, urging them not to feel ashamed of their nature in a culture that often demonizes male behavior. Vance reiterated his views presented in a recent Munich speech, criticizing European mass migration policies and the suppression of free speech, while claiming these issues represent threats to Western civilization. His remarks resonated with the audience, reflecting a broader conservative narrative that positions masculinity as under attack by leftist ideologies. Supporters argue that young men are increasingly shifting towards conservative views as they feel marginalized by contemporary cultural movements. Vance's stance signals a commitment to reestablishing what he views as a positive framework for masculinity in America.
