When former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made the announcement in September 2015 that he was resigning, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) didn't seek to replace him. He didn't ask to be House Speaker. At least not at first. Paul Ryan had to be convinced to accept the nomination for Speaker of the House. His fellow Republicans asked him to run for House Speaker, and he finally agreed. And now he's the unifying leader of the Republican Party. Ryan didn’t seek his position as leader of the House Republicans, but he stepped up into his role like a real man. That statement is bold, but it's true.

(This article was originally published on February 13, 2018)  In our present day, it is important that young men and women be more confident in themselves. Now more than ever, we need to live the way we're supposed to be living—active and meaningful ones to the fullest. And since St. Valentine's Day is here, I think now is a good time to talk about real masculinity and real femininity. An example of this real masculinity portrayed in film is Simba from "The Lion King (1994)." Now, Disney and director Jon Favreau are already producing a new live-action remake of “The Lion King,” which will be released next year. I think they run the risk of ruining the original “Lion King” in the way they portray Simba. In today’s society, men are often portrayed as timid weaklings or elitist barbarians who abuse women and other men. We see this in film and television.
