Tom Golden @trgolden has created a rather amusing video based on one of my Tales from The Patriarchy cartoons.
It was posted there a couple of weeks ago, but I only just got back from Australia now to post it here.

🚨#BREAKING: Two TEEN BROTHERS are being hailed as HEROES after they RESCUED a Florida mom and her little boy who were TRAPPED on their kitchen counter with their 3 dogs as floodwater filled their home...
...the mother called 911 THREE TIMES and no one could come, then two TEEN BROTHERS grabbed a kayak and a paddleboard and went and SAVED THEM!!!
ALL OF THEM made it out, the dogs too!!!! ❤️
The t names are Jonah and Lucas Marshall.
Jonah is 15. Lucas is 17. They live in Palm Bay, Florida.
This week, Palm Bay got slammed by some of the worst flooding the city has ever seen.
Brittany Grant and her son climbed up on their kitchen counter with their three dogs as the water kept rising inside the house.
No way out.
She called 911.
Then she called again.
Then she called a THIRD time... and was told there were no emergency resources available because of the flooding.
So she did the only thing left. She posted on Facebook.
A mother saw that post and her two boys didn’t wait around.
Jonah borrowed a neighbor’s KAYAK and Lucas grabbed his PADDLEBOARD.
Together with another neighbor, they paddled through the floodwater to a house full of strangers.
Jonah says they didn’t even think about it, those people were in danger, so they just went.
Lucas admits it was a little nerve-wracking... but he figured they were strong and able, so why not.
By the time they got there, Brittany and her son had been stuck on that counter for MULTIPLE HOURS.
Lucas got the little boy out FIRST.
And the whole way, he kept him talking so he wouldn’t be scared.
What’s your name? How’s school going?
Then he told him: “This is a weird day, isn’t it?”
A 17-year-old kid, in the middle of a flood, making a scared little boy feel normal. 😭
The brothers got Brittany, her son, and ALL THREE DOGS to dry land.
Brittany says if it weren’t for them, she doesn’t know how they would have gotten out.
And she says neighbors she had NEVER MET restored her faith in humanity.
The next generation isn’t lost, folks.
Some of them are paddling into floodwater when no one else can come.
GOD BLESS Jonah and Lucas Marshall, and GOD BLESS the mama who raised them.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every November, people around the world mark Men's Equality Month, and on November 19, International Men's Day. They celebrate men and boys, and draw attention to 12 areas where men and boys fall behind.
The Future Is Everyone. A future for everyone includes boys and men.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Masculinity Doesn't Need to Be Denigrated and Deconstructed. It Needs to Be Understood...
The fundamental intellectual failure of the masculinity deficit trope is that it mistakes a selective catalogue of masculine dysfunctions for a comprehensive understanding of manhood.
It combines genuinely harmful behaviours with masculine characteristics that are profoundly constructive, then presents the resulting caricature as evidence that traditional masculinity requires transformation.
This framing is historically reductive, conceptually flawed and methodologically questionable. It invalidates the positive meanings that men attach to strength, stoicism, self-reliance, fatherhood, responsibility and service. And it's nothing more than a strawman (a fake argument, that's set up to be easily defeated)...
Traditional masculinity certainly isn't synonymous with the emotionally distant 1950s breadwinner, the domineering patriarch or the aggressive adolescent.
Its inheritance is far far richer than that. Classical philosophy, the great religions and longstanding traditions of fatherhood offer ideals of courage, honour, compassion, self-mastery, protection and sacrifice.
Jesus Christ exemplifies this vision: strong without cruelty, courageous without recklessness, emotionally expressive without surrendering composure, and authoritative without domination.
Boys deserve inspiring ideals of manhood, not an endless catalogue of masculine shortcomings.
Furthermore, the burden of proof rests with proponents seeking to transform masculine identity, especially through programmes delivered to schoolchildren. They must demonstrate that their interventions improve measurable outcomes, respect boys' dignity, avoid unintended harm and outperform less ideological alternatives...
Our task isn't to dismantle masculinity or prescribe an ideologically approved replacement. It's to cultivate the finest expressions of manhood while holding individuals (both male and female) accountable for harmful conduct.

Depending on who we are, we all have a gendered experience of life.
In ways that are both positive and negative, beneficial or harmful, men are often treated in one way, and women in another.
We call these “double standards”, and many flat-out deny men experience them just as often as women.
So today I’d like to fill in that gap, and ask: what are the biggest double standards that men face?
What do you think?

The Patriarchs meet the hippies of the Free Spirit Community. Both groups think they’ve found some like-minded people, until the “special mushrooms” take the Patriarchs on a long and unexpected trip within a trip.

🚨#BREAKING: Two teenager brothers are being hailed as HEROES after they DOVE INTO A RETENTION POND to RESCUE A GRANDMOTHER and a 2 and 5 year old from drowning!!!
...the 2 teens heard the splash, ran over, and pulled ALL THREE of them out ALIVE!!!
The baby was still underwater in that stroller when they found him. He’s ALIVE today! ❤️
Their names are Maddox and Grant Larger.
They’re brothers from Carmel, Indiana.
Maddox is 15. Grant is 14.
On Monday morning, around 11:15, Grant heard a splash.
He looked down at the pond and saw them floating in the water.
A grandmother, struggling, going under.
Her 4-year-old grandbaby was strapped to her back.
The stroller holding her 2-year-old had rolled into the pond and was partially SUBMERGED.
Neither grandma nor the 4-year-old knew how to swim.
Grant got on the phone with 911.
Maddox, who swims for the Carmel Swim Club, jumped STRAIGHT IN.
Together the brothers dragged grandma and the 4-year-old to dry land.
But here’s the part that got me...
Once everyone was out, Maddox realized the baby was STILL IN THE STROLLER.
He unbuckled him, pulled him out, tipped him over to drain the water, and patted his back until the little baby coughed up the pond water... and started BREATHING again.
By the time firefighters and police got there, both little kids were conscious.
Carmel officials say there is no doubt these two boys SAVED THAT 2-YEAR-OLD’S LIFE.
The fire department says they proved you don’t need a uniform or a badge to be a hero.
And Grant? Humble as can be.
“Anybody would’ve done what we did.”
The city is honoring both brothers at the Carmel City Council meeting on November 16.
FIFTEEN and FOURTEEN years old!!!!!!
GOD BLESS Maddox and Grant Larger.

On the way to San Francisco, The Patriarchy spots the Free Spirit Community selling sandwiches and decides to stop for a bite. Little do they know, they’re about to take a very different kind of “trip.”

A man lay convulsing on a 600 volt rail at a Chicago rail station.
Anthony Perry, 20, jumped down to help.
Shocked once, he let go.
Shocked again, he let go.
On his third try, he pulled him free, then gave chest compressions until help came.
The man survived.

COLORADO, STAND UP FOR MEN AND FAMILIES!! 💪 👨👩👧👦
I'm delighted to support my friend Carl Roberts, founder of Colorado Resilience, who is organising the 2nd Annual Men & Families March in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday 21 November 2026.
Taking place just two days after International Men's Day (19 November), this peaceful, family-friendly event is an opportunity to come together, celebrate the positive contributions of men and fathers, and stand up for stronger families and healthier communities.
Following healthy participation at last year's inaugural march, Carl and his team are aiming to make this year's gathering significantly bigger, stronger and more influential...
The march is built around three powerful, positive pillars:
🔴 PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES
Celebrating the responsibilities, sacrifices and contributions of fathers, husbands and men who protect, provide for and nurture their families.
⚪ DEFENDING OUR RIGHTS
Standing up for parental rights, due process, fairness under the law and the fundamental dignity of every individual.
🔵 CELEBRATING MASCULINITY
Recognising the enormous good that men and boys contribute to their families, communities and society.
For too long, public conversations about masculinity have disproportionately focused on what's wrong with men, rather than recognising everything that's right with them.
It's time to change the narrative...
We need more positive recognition of good men, more support for engaged fathers, stronger families, and greater attention to the challenges facing men and boys.
And we need to bring people together rather than drive them apart.
This isn't about men versus women. It's about men AND women, fathers AND mothers, working together to build a better future for our children.
📍 Colorado State Capitol, Denver
📅 Saturday 21 November 2026
🕙 10:00 AM – Gather, connect and organise
🚶 12:00 PM – March
🎤 1:00 PM – Speakers and rally
The event will feature advocates for men, fathers, families and parental rights, including Carl Roberts, Robert Garza, State Senator Teddy Collins, Pearl Davis, and other speakers.
My encouragement to everyone in Colorado and surrounding states: TURN UP!
Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your children. Invite your neighbours, colleagues, churches and community organisations...
Let's demonstrate that celebrating masculinity, supporting fathers and strengthening families are causes worth standing together for.
Congratulations to Carl and the Colorado Resilience team for building this positive movement. I wish you tremendous success on November 21st.

Innocent Until Proven guilty...that is unless a man is falsely accused of a crime by a woman.
Then it's guilty until proven innocent for the man and let's put him in jail until he does prove his innocence
