In this short monologue from The Dennis Prager Show, the host outlines his traditional view of masculinity. He identifies three core characteristics: first, a masculine man acts as a protector—physically, financially, and emotionally; second, he is not easily intimidated by women, including his partner, while still treating them with love, respect, and kindness; third, a masculine man actively fights for what is right and refuses to be driven by fear. The segment ends with a promotional plug directing listeners to the full episode on Pragertopia.

One of the first things we associate with masculinity is protection in all sorts of ways— physical, financial, and emotional. One of the definitions of masculine is a protector. I have another characteristic. I believe that one aspect of masculinity, and one that women find attractive, is a man who is not easily intimidated by a woman. So not to be intimidated by women in general and not to be intimidated by one's woman. That doesn't mean you don't love her, respect her, treat her decently, kindly. That has nothing to do with whether or not you're easily intimidated. Third, a masculine man fights for what is right. He is not afraid. An afraid man is not a masculine man.
