In a world drowning in mind parasites, it’s refreshing when UFC boss Dana White stepped into the ring and landed a verbal KO against one such lie.
The “toxic masculinity” lie.
During a sit-down with 60 Minutes reporter Jon Wertheim, White tackled a loaded question “When you hear toxic masculinity?”, with a simple follow-up question:
“What does that mean?”
Wertheim had lobbed “toxic masculinity” as a bad thing, expecting the usual defensive scramble or fiery rant. Instead, White grinned and flipped the script.
“Toxic masculinity” isn’t a thoughtful critique or a real thing—it’s a rhetorical smoke bomb, meant to guilt-trip and silence dissent.
This isn’t an isolated slip-up. Today’s progressive playbook thrives on feel-good phrases that masquerade as deep wisdom, dodging real debate by leaning on emotional shorthand. It’s less about solving problems and more about projecting an aura of superiority, all while skipping the details or failing to define a problem.
This is not new. Similar viral moments of questioning has challenged other progressive verbatim:
“Your body your choice” — Comedian Andrew Schulz argued that, it’s ‘your body your choice’ until you get 3 abortions. More than that, the same people will crucify you.
“What is a woman?” — Matt Walsh’s documentary proves that not a single person seem to be able to answer this simple question.
“Defund the police” — Sounds catchy until you’re a victim of crime
“Threat to democracy” — People who say this, are themselves a threat. Remember Kamala Harris?
Don’t fall for the trap of infectious ideas that are presented catchy. In fact when something sounds so amazing, be skeptical, because it is likely carrying mind parasites.
Instead, ask the simple question Dana White asked Jon Wertheim.
“What does that mean?”
Follow it up with;
“What exactly do you mean by that?”
“How would you describe it in plain English?”
“Got a real-world case to back it up?”
If you fear that you might offend someone, or be accused of something else, take that as a red flag as well. And continue to ask the questions.
Because eventually the answer will be “a blank stare of embarrassment.”
