[@Pakorengo]

How would this be controversial! You are exactly right. This man deletes completely the duty, thoughts and responsibility of 50% of the marriage, which is the woman (if hetero couple). It’s a team effort and he is happy saying out loud that half of the couple, just because is a man, needs to make all the decisions , specially the tough ones… “even if your wife is mad at you”. So he thinks only Man can rule the world… come on! Life is more complex than that, thank ‘God’ Come on, some

[@mr.mensch1557]

True, although he was answering the question, which was on the role of fatherhood specifically.

[@Micmoves]

You are absolutely right. The controversial part is that the man is absolutely the head of the home, so the responsibility and burden of the family's success ends with him. That is why the man is more to blame.

[@marqueskates5873]

Not true at all. Single fathers raise kids just as well as a 2 parent home. But a single mother does not. So whenever a man is around kids are better.

[@addressingtheelephant]

He's mostly right. Unfortunately if a man puts his foot down, he's called an abusive narcissist, she divorces him, takes the kids, half his wealth, etc. The authority of the man has been subverted by poppa government. So if the law stays like it is, it's going to be up to women to find appreciation for such a man. I knew someone who put his foot down (as he describe) and his woman left him for an emasculated man, and threatened him to never see their child every again. The leverage is now in the hands of women.

Yeah problem with taking everything elders say at face value is that in reality, things change. In today’s world you can be a great husband or a terrible husband and get taken down all the same. A lot of women (especially western ones) are very self destructive when it comes to relationships. Especially because social media has inflated so many peoples egos into thinking they are better than they really are, and that goes for guys and girls. That’s what happens when relationships are less about actually caring for one another and more about feeling good in the short term.

Claiming the marriage is solely dependant on the ‘worth’ of the man absolves women of responsibility to marriage. You can put your foot down all you want, but she can just walk away and is in some cases highly incentivized to.

Not to mention she could say he "hurt" her to get him dealt with, if she took the notion.

[@Photakk]

We live in a country where parents are having their children forcefully taken from them because they won't "gender affirm" their kids. CPS shows up, and the kids are gone. This guy would pull out a pistol, and either end up in prison or dead if he was to carry out the words he speaks in that scenario... If we're in a country that allows that, I'm sorry... Fathers and husbands haven't failed... They've lost. Against whom? The ones we were supposed to lead, provide for, set examples for, and discipline... They cried out saying Men are the victimizers, and people started to LISTEN IN MASS. Men have lost their hold on this country... I just pray we can get it back one day.

[@newme1589]

In the Christian faith, the man is the leader, but this doesn't mean the woman is "a useless object", this means the leader NEEDS a follower, and the follower NEEDS a leader. Is it commonly said that the woman is a representation of the quality of man, because at a s*xual level, the woman chooses the best man. So a good marriage is represented by a good man, but that's because he is the leader. If the woman is bad, then the marriage is bad, which means the man is bad (and vice versa). It's all connected, in marriage, the man and woman become one.

[@Photakk]

@@newme1589 Hm... Based off of modern American society, how well do you suppose that idea is working out? "woman only bad because man bad"... I'm sure there are many amazing fathers that lost custody of their kids that would severely disagree with you... But don't worry. Your bible has nothing to say about no-fault divorce, feminism, birth control, or abortion either... We are not one nation under god anymore... And applying blanket Christian principles to a society that is falling away from Christianity is a bit out of touch with the reality we face today.

[@timothy8142]

I get what he's saying. But the blame isn't on fathers or husbands. The blame is on a lack of morals and ethics across the board. I heard someone once say, "The business of business, and the business of life are the same". And that is very true. If you carry yourself with morals and ethics inside the home, it will carry into all other aspects of your life including your job, business, or career. If you lack morals and ethics inside the home, it will have a negative impact.

[@urhunn7778]

The blame is with the Feminist system that disempowers men and sets them up to fail in all capacities, including as fathers and husbands. The real question is: why are men allowing this?

[@eduardoguzman-lw4ct]

And who establishes “morals and ethics”? A toddler in the home maybe? The woman? The pet dog? If you’re a God fearing man which it sounds like you might not be this is plain and simple. Foundation is God. And as he said in this video God gave dominion to the Man and the woman was made to help man.

[@danielquintieri]

Yea and fathers are suppose to teach their kids morals and ethics, and theyre not

Yes but you've not heard him all the way. Those morals and ethics are supposed to be established by the father and everyone held responsible by the father. This is a man who is taking complete responsibility for his family. That should be commended

Ethics and morals don't exist in a vacuum. They are created, carried and upheld by people, men and women alike.

[@biasedknowledge]

Dwayne, what a commanding and unapologetic defense of fatherhood you've presented here. It’s rare to hear such clarity on the role of men as the backbone of family and society. You speak of responsibility not as a burden but as a privilege-a duty to be carried out with strength and resolve. One thought strikes me: beyond discipline and protection, a father’s role as a builder deserves more recognition. A good father doesn’t just shield his children from harm; he builds their character by showing them how to live with honor, purpose, and grit. A man’s ability to create a foundation of principles-integrity, respect, and resilience-is just as crucial as his ability to enforce them. It's not just about saying, "No, you can't," but also about showing, "Yes, this is how you thrive." Your methods may ruffle feathers in this soft-hearted age, but the proof lies in the strength of the men and women your children become. Bravo for holding the line, my friend. Society needs more men unafraid to lead with courage.

[@frontdeskstaff9359]

You are right but he touched on this. Being an example and being a leader both require a father to be involved and be a teacher/ "builder"

[@daphnesuarez5924]

My husband left when I was 4 months pregnant & we already had a baby girl that was 10 months old. I had to become the bad guy for my 2 girls because it what was I had to do because the man of the family ran off with another woman. I love this man, he is EXACTLY like my Dad in so many ways. I come to find out years later that when guys would come to my house looking for me my Dad would first take them into our basement & show them his gun collection. He would say, this is my friend Remington & Winchester...if you hurt my daughter, they will hurt you. Now I know that it is wrong now today but back in the late 70's in Canada it was happening. To be a protector of your family isn't easy, it's tough I know, I had no choice but to be that for my daughters. When guys came to the house for my daughters I didn't show them my gun collection but I did tell them at the door that I have 2 friends that would help me if you ever hurt my daughter. I also spanked my daughters & whatever cloth this man was cut from, I as a woman have some of that same cloth cut in me too because I will do whatever I have to do to protect my daughters, that's my responsibility & I take it seriously. A lot my daughters friends got pregnant & the common denominator was that there was Father in the house that didn't care what his daughter did or an absent Father in the house where the Mother wasn't able to do the right thing for her daughter. I am happy to say that both my daughters are still virgins today & they thank me for protecting them from the "boys" because they don't want to marry a boy, they want to marry a man! Bless this man, I agree with him 100%! I'm still a single Mom living in Toronto & holding down the fort as they say. God Bless everyone!

Women too. I choose to serve in place of my ex-husband. My daughter and son are likely to join to start their own lives, because it’s how I paid for college and gained experience for the teaching career I have now. I ended up leaving him after I realized how foolish I was for choosing someone who didn’t choose me-in the form of porn addiction, Ashley Maddison, etc., it still took me seven years, as I fight for our marriage in therapy. I would have left service if I felt we could have survived on his income. He’s remarried to another sugar momma, and I don’t time or energy. I’d rather spend it on my kids, especially my sons. I wish my dad had protected me, but he took my ex’s side at first due to his own trauma dealing with divorce, and I remember how bad it was for him. He remarried my mom 6 years later, after a brief failed marriage to an alcoholic crazy woman, with sons I loved as brothers. I’ve learned I can only count on myself, and be there for my kids.

[@0num4]

I do not agree with everything Dewayne says. But I do see value in his words in most cases, regardless of my personal opinion. He's spot on when it comes to the plight of families. Without the bedrock of a stable mom & dad, kids are very likely to go down terrible paths, with no one to guide them through their trials. Everyone makes mistakes, but too few have a repository of wisdom from which they can draw in times of need.

My follow-up question would be, do you blame the men that marry someone who divorces them over "Not being Happy", takes half the man's stuff, and takes his children for not raising his own kids right, or do you blame the fathers of these women for not raising their women right?

[@IkeCreed]

They will blame the fathers for not raising their daughters right. It’s a shame; it's not even worth arguing with these people; they already know everything in their minds. My sister divorced my “ex” brother-in-law because they changed as “they grew up, and he wasn’t funny or into sports.” These were literally her exact words.

[@walterp1028]

[@BIGGELATO]

A LOT of fathers that have daughters just let them raise themselves, without guidance. My mother's partner for over two decades is exactly like this. And because of this, it ruined them mentally, it wasted years of their lives, it caused them to make incredibly vast amounts of bad decisions through life, and he isn't doing anything but suffer the consequences, all together. And these people all believe that they are doing just great, and they are above others. Their lack of ego development, they don't even know what it is. Ignorance is bliss to ignorant people. So many DO NOT deserve to build families because they build families over unfinished foundations, and this causes nothing but hard ache in the long run.

[@jeff5721]

Imagine facing your new father-in-law on your wedding day and being met, not with encouragement, but with a death threat. And that's AFTER he concluded that you were a "good man" and had grown up. If someone told me "If you hurt her, they will never find your body," I'd be thinking "I haven't earned his trust, because he still has doubts." I'd be thinking, maybe I need to prove myself a little bit more so he doesn't have to say something like that.

[@astroborne]

Kids need guidance and boundaries set, but most importantly they need freedom and responsibility as the get older. Parents neglect teaching their kids how to become active problem solvers. How can you expect a kid to navigate the world on their own when they're older if they have never been taught to become their own guide?

Men can Learn A lot about Themselves, by Hearing another man Older and More Respected

[@brob-zy8zi]

I agree with this.... if it was 60 years ago. We live in a different environment today where if you try to hold a woman accountable she'll have 4 other men in your bed by the end of the week and a court system and society standing behind her for it. It shouldn't stop you from doing so but the feeling that "The battle has been lost" runs high among men today. You cannot expect to take a young woman who has never been held accountable by family or society or even to the same extent as men by the law and expect them to all of a sudden fall in line just because you're a good leader and father.... That's not going to happen. They've been taught to take advantage of that by society, not respect and support it. 50 or 60 years ago a marriage could exist like this. But except for a few fleeting examples, that's just not going to happen today. I got incredibly lucky in finding my wife who was raised like this but it took me from the age of 17 all the way to 34 years old to find a woman who wanted to have a partnership and marriage based on morals, values, and commitment to one another. It's a very real struggle for young men today and good character and morals are considered a weak point by most women, not a strong point.

[@brworthington_]

I was raised under a similar parenting style, but from my dad. My mother was a different story. For the most part I didn’t have to worry about my dad spanking me because I wasn’t inclined to lie to people who I cohabitate with, nor was I inclined to physically abuse people smaller than me. It never happened. Doesn’t mean I never got beat, but those beatings were done by my mother later on and were not justified, nor were they meted out fairly. I know the difference now. So for Dewayne running his household, not as a tyrant but as a responsible father, I’m far more inclined to be supportive than I am critical. I’ve seen how much of a difference it makes to have a level-headed father being the disciplinarian, versus an unhinged mother. I’ll say this: By and large, if you’re a good kid, you don’t have to worry about being disciplined if your dad is this kind of father. Where you need to be worried is when they’re a true, power-hungry, unhinged tyrant.

[@LuckyKtube]

I enjoy this guy and his message. It's feel-good and comforting. I don't think this is viable advice in 2024, sadly. Wholesale blaming men for the state of the world is exactly what society has been doing for the past 15 years. This guy unfortunately doesn't understand the type of evil and tech we are dealing with in 2024. This is understandable, as that evil has been healing and rebuilding itself for his entire life. It's here now though, and telling men to buck up and grit through it isn't going to cut it anymore.

If people aren’t willing to recognize the problem, there will never be a solution. Simply blaming men and telling them to man up is an easy, feel good, pithy response from people who want to seem grounded, but have no real understanding of the world that we live in today, and the forces at play working to deconstruct everything that came before.

The fact of the matter is: we have a maturity crisis. And it affects both men and women. For women, it manifests as "oh, since it's socially acceptable, I will be highly promiscuous because it gives me status, money, attention, etc." with no regard to the issues that causes. For men, it's "why should I even try, nobody values me so I'll just let my body deteriorate and over-indulge in video games and drugs/alcohol". Sure, it'd be great if men were "men" but we're not giving men a future with a good wife, so why should they "grow up"?

One key ingredient that made this all work. He maintained a fully intact family and marriage with their mother. Tryng to be this effective of a father outside the home of your daughter is not likely to produce this result. You guide your daughter, but unfortunately she is influenced by the mother she lives with more than you who leads her against your advice and ruins her decision making in your absence. Plus the hole in your daughter's heart over the break-up and the fact that you're not there all the time anymore has a negative impact that in many cases drives he into the arms of the wrong guy. Keep it in your pants and don't EVER create children with a woman who is not your wife and never will be.
