Elvis Presley's work is being given new life through a London-based immersive AI hologram performance that will continue to ignore the damage he did to masculinity.

Baby boomers, nostalgic for the “innocence” of yesteryear, held him up as their version of a “man among men” without understanding that he was the beginning of the end of traditional masculinity in pop culture. ing. His sexual attraction came at the expense of a healthy society.

At the height of his stardom, Presley's parents objected to his sexually provocative hip swaying. She was worried that Presley's move would become a scandal for an entire generation of women. They weren't wrong about Presley, but it was their sons who should have been protected.
Presley was the first major entertainment icon to successfully feminize masculinity, creating the toxic and weak form of masculinity that is prevalent today. He took advantage of a society weakened by the rise of feminism, and his most important contribution to our downfall went largely unrecognized.
At the height of Presley's fame, Boomer teenagers were being raised by older parents, exhausted by the effects of two world wars and unable to compete with the spread of free love. was. When you combine his celebrity status with the rise of feminism and sexual freedom, it's clear that our nation's youth didn't stand a chance.
On a day like today in 1935, a star was born: Elvis Presley.
All tributes are few and far between when honoring the memory of an artist who changed everything forever.

As abortions and the pill became more readily available and parents watched their children start having casual sex, they naturally became obsessed with the swaying of men's hips that made their daughters scream.
Certainly, that's a valid concern. Yet what they forgot in their concern for their daughter's purity was the reality that men want women to find them attractive mates.
The attack on masculinity was successful because parents focused on the crowd of anime girls vying for the chance to touch Presley's dazzling panties, unaware that their sons were also watching. Naturally, without better guidance, he wanted women to look at him and react to him, just as Presley's female fans do every time he takes the stage. Young men have become desensitized to Presley's lack of masculinity. (ROOKE: If conservatives want to win, they need parent PR reform)
As Presley's popularity grew thanks to his cult female following, so did his penchant for feminine hairstyles and flashy clothing. His feminized persona is ignored, as his hip swivels served to distract his parents, and men in pop culture are seen as real men even though they portray traditional male characteristics. The need is gone.

Presley's entire public persona functioned as a Trojan horse, aiding and abetting the destruction of true masculinity and protecting us from contemporary threats such as transgenderism and the destruction of the nuclear family. Suddenly, it became OK for men to look like women, look like women, and dance like women while claiming to be men. (ROOKE: Worrying about January 6th is a luxury only the rich can afford)
Feminism was quick to take advantage of the weaker sex, leaving our society without built-in protectors.
Before his shiny onesie and bushy hair became the norm, men like Dean Martin, Marty Robbins, and James Stewart performed on stages across the country without losing their natural masculinity. They sang ballads about love, war, and purpose in a way that honorable men could relate to. In Stewart's case, the characters he brought to life glorified the traditional family and encouraged men to be loyal and strong in the face of overwhelming odds.

The influence of the sexual revolution is felt today when men like Harry Styles blur the lines of sexuality in sequined outfits. Yet it was Presley who opened the floodgates to gender fluidity that weakened society's grasp on true masculinity.
