During the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), U.S. Vice President James David Vance criticized modern culture, stating that it suppresses traditional notions of masculinity and imposes "androgynous idiots" on society. Forbes published a video of his speech.

Vance emphasized that contemporary culture "sends young men the message that they must suppress their masculinity."

"Don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person because you're a man because you like to tell a joke, because you like to have a beer with your friends, or because you're competitive," he said.

According to James Vance, modern American society seeks to erase gender differences, molding young people into uniform thinking and behavior. "We actually think God made male and female for a purpose," he added. "We want you guys to thrive as young men and as young women and we're going to help with our public."

As previously reported by the UOJ, U.S. Vice President James David Vance stated during the CPAC conference that he is more concerned about whether he is doing the right thing before Almighty God than about earthly rewards.
