No Apologies

anthonyesolen.substack.com
A generation of young men and boys are being raised in self-loathing, taught that the core of their identity as men is not only abhorrent, but is responsible for most, if not all,  of humanity's ills.

In No Apologies, veteran author and professor, Anthony Esolen, issues a powerful defense of the virtues of masculine strength. From the thankless brute force of the nameless men who erected buildings, paved roads, and cleared the ground upon which human society stands, to the boundless energy of youth that compelled centuries of global exploration, to the father's embodied authority as protector, director, and exemplar of law and justice, Esolen shows how civilization has rested upon the strength of men.

With his customary wisdom and wit, Esolen draws on two millennia of historical thought, introducing his readers to giants such as Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, Solzhenitsyn, and even Mark Twain to present a vigorous and timely defense of the masculine ethos.

I can't recommend this book enough. I read large portions of this book out loud to my wife, who appreciated each one.
