CALIFORNIA HEROES TEACH US THE VALUE OF MEN

  In our dysfunctional postmodernist culture, it's become fashionable to bash men and masculinity in general. Swabs like Colin Kaepernick and Stephen Colbert are held up by the effete Corporate Media as role models. Feminists depreciate men regularly; and the cretinous Red Pills in the Manosphere encourage men to live down to all of those negative stereotypes. 

   But often the measure of a real man is not what he says, but what he does. The time of crisis---which put his values to the test---is what separates the men from the boys, so to speak. In Northern California recently, four young men (ages 15 and 16) pulled off a daring rescue of two inexperienced swimmers caught in an undertow in frigid waters. 

   Most readers unfamiliar with the California Coast assume that all of the beaches are like those depicted on reruns of Baywatch. However, once one starts north of Santa Barbara, the ocean becomes a little tougher. Trinity State Beach---where this rescue happened---is only a few miles from the Oregon Border; and the climate and character of the beach is much closer to Oregon's beaches than what one thinks of California's. 

    Trinity is a very rocky and windy inlet. It's known for its curious rock formations and also a popular spot for catching sea anemone and starfish. A lot of locals also hunt sand crabs there.

  Needless to say, guys who actually get out in the water for sports like surfing have to be a fairly robust lot. The heroes of our story: Adrian York, Spenser Stratton, Taj O. Beck, and Narayan Weibel are all surfers---and tough ones at that. 

   The waters were a horrible 51 degrees with an unusually dense fog cover that November afternoon. But these guys go surfing every afternoon after High School practice. On this particular day, they'd been surfing for two hours when they decided to take a break. They heard shouting and saw two other men floundering in the fog. These two were caught in a dangerous undertow, and dressed only in a shirt and shorts they were not protected from the cold waters. Likewise, they were blinded by the fog cover; and their family on the beach had lost sight of them. 

  Now York, at age 16, is already a certified lifeguard, while Stratton and Weibel had studied lifeguarding at a Summer program. York went back to the beach to alert authorities while the other three went for the stranded men. It wasn't easy. One of the drowning men was morbidly obese and both were panicking. 

   Stratton and Weibel managed to take the heavier one; their experience as surfers helped considerably, as they had to take turns with him. Beck pulled the younger and smaller man on to his surfboard. York returned and assisted him by that time. 

   The young men were already taking emergency measures when the EMTs, led by Ranger Dillon Cleavenger arrived and took over. “There’s no doubt in my mind those guys would have drowned without their quick intervention,” Cleavenger told the MSM, “When we get a call like this one, it's usually too late by the time we get there. People can get hypothermia and drown out here in seconds. I can't say enough about what these boys did. They were willing and prepared to risk their lives."

   It would seem that the efforts of Liberal Academia and Media to end our culture of toxic masculinity and replace men with Snowflakes haven't been entirely successful. Good men are still doing good things. And there's no report that they needed the Red Pills to teach them how to be men either. 

   Nope. These guys were the products of good old-fashioned parenting. As Jacqueline Stratton---Spenser Stratton's mom said:  "All of the boys’ parents are proud of their sons. We have all raised our sons to be respectful and mindful of the ocean and are glad that they were at the right place at the right time."
