Last night, I got alerted to the news that Allie Beth Stuckey, a former colleague of mine, was being attacked by a great many people for something she had said about men.
I saw the responses before I even saw the clip. So many people jumping on what she said as being "feminist" and attacking men, holding them to standards, while women like her refuse to hold other women accountable and set standards for them in the same way.
Then I watched the bit Allie was being attacked for, and I got angry.... but not at Allie. In fact, I was angry at conservatism.
Allie wasn't saying anything that demeaned men; she was attacking pornography and the effects it has on men. She noted that there are women who suffer from the grip of pornography as well, but that it predominantly hooks men, and porn makes men weak.

Allie is 100 percent right. Porn is a weakening force in the lives of men. I've spent a great deal of time on this very website talking about it. In fact, I talked about it on Wednesday when addressing the idea that "sex work is real work" and how destructive it is on both the worker and the consumer.
You don't have to take my word for it either. One of the most revealing insider looks into the destructiveness of the porn industry comes from a former porn star turned pastor, Joshua Broome. During an interview with Michael Knowles, Broome discussed just how mentally damaging the porn industry is, noting that more than a few colleagues he'd known committed suicide at some point. Depression and isolation are features of the industry, not a bug.
And this isolation issue actually hits the consumer. Pornography, especially for men, encourages emotional and physical withdrawal.
Porn actually reduces gray matter in those who consume it, making reward and motivation less active, and leading to less self-control, much like an addict. Things that should excite people become less so due to desensitization, but urges become harder to resist. This can lead to feeling ambivalent about real-life sex, putting a hurdle between you and a substantial relationship. This, in itself, creates emotional isolation that can lead to anxiety and depression, as well as difficulty becoming aroused in real life with a partner.
So Allie is actually correct. Porn does make you weaker. It makes men weaker. Moreover, as I've stated consistently, men are in an uphill battle that will only worsen as AI companions become more and more advanced. AI porn and sexual bots are already a billion-dollar business that is becoming more and more advanced every day and threatens to make the porn problem even worse, specifically for men.
But what really struck me was the misinterpretation of what Allie was saying. People framed it as an attack against men.
Watching the clip, that's not how I saw it at all. In fact, what I saw was one of the most honest bits of cheerleading for men I've seen out of a woman in some time.
Allie was cheering us on. She was encouraging us to fight one of our toughest modern-day opponents and win. She was telling us men that women need us, society needs us, and that we need to overcome these demons to lead society with the boldness and strength God gave us. This was a woman who was telling men that we are wanted and needed after decades of mainstream sources carrying the modern feminist message that men are inherently problematic and ultimately unnecessary.
If men are fighting pornography in the ring, Allie was leading other women in cheering us on to fight against it and win, which is exactly what a loving, caring woman would do for the men in her life.
I'm not sure how this could be interpreted any other way. To make this an attack on men is a stretch. Are we supposed to not fight back against the porn industry? Are we supposed to consider it harmless?
It's not. Never mind the problems it creates in both the participant and the consumer, the sex trafficking issues that come with it are enough to want it to collapse alone. Porn is not worth defending on a moral level at the very least, and Allie is right to call it out like she did. Men are sacrificing their time, love, and future to porn, and it's not an issue we talk about enough, partly because I don't think many men in this day and age want to.
I get it. Many modernized women are too often walking, talking problems in and of themselves. They see men as means to a selfish end and use and abuse us. They seek our attention while demeaning our natural roles and denouncing our masculinity. Modern dating sucks because modernity has created a host of women who aren't relationship material, never mind marriage material.

But when we run into women who think like Allie, we automatically attribute their cheering us on to the lecturing we too often receive from modern feminism. That's not the case at all.
Allie is defending us and acknowledging what feminism doesn't. She is telling us that men have value, that masculinity is desired and necessary, and that she considers us greater than our weaknesses.
Women like Allie are the ones men have been asking for. When they show up to empower you, don't mistake their pointing out your opponents as pointing out your weaknesses. They're trying to help you get stronger, not criticizing you to make themselves feel more empowered.
These are the women you've been wanting to fight for.
