By STARRS
Brad Johnson is a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Leadership, Ethics and Law at the United States Naval Academy and appears to be fluent in the Cultural Marxist CRT/DEI agenda. Do male midshipmen really need someone like this to male-shame them?
Recently he wrote an article in Fast Company with this title and intro:
Men: It’s time to disrupt bro code and shut down misogyny
A leadership professor at the U.S. Naval Academy says confronting misogyny demands that we overcome self-doubt, marshal courage, and vanquish anxiety about having our masculinity called into question.
His third paragraph reveals Cultural Marxist keywords he uses in a Maoist shaming of men and being a male Karen scolding men into compliance:
Confrontation of other men for misogynistic, harassing, and sexist behavior may be the hardest part of allyship. Going against your gender’s long-standing bro code to promote an equitable and inclusive workplace is where the cost of allyship quickly gets real. David Smith and I call this putting some skin in the game when it comes to showing up as an ally. And we’re not letting you off the hook for not shutting this nonsense down hard when you hear it or see it….
The words Ally/Allyship are a CRT/DEI “anti-racist” word according to Harvard University’s Anti-Racism Resources:
1. Ally – Someone who makes the commitment and effort to recognize their privilege (based on gender, class, race, sexual identity, etc.) and work in solidarity with oppressed groups in the struggle for justice. Allies understand that it is in their own interest to end all forms of oppression, even those from which they may benefit in concrete ways.
Here’s a screenshot in case they take the page down:

A previous article he wrote also in Fast Company in 2023 talked about this:
How to tell if someone is deliberately ‘sandbagging’ diversity efforts
Feigning incompetence is a common strategy some men use to resist DEI efforts. Here’s how to recognize it—and hold them accountable.
Here’s this choice CRT/DEI agenda paragraph calling out men who don’t go along with the DEI agenda:
“Although sandbagging comes across as clever when an endearing character like Columbo uses it to catch criminals, it becomes problematic when deployed as a strategy used by men resisting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. These men underperform as leaders in this area, and minimize their awareness and competence as a means to evade accountability. (To be clear, this is not limited to men. Women sandbag, too; however predominantly this manipulation is put into play by people in power attempting to protect their privilege and to undermine equity.) . . . “
“. . . In our work on inclusive leadership and male allyship for gender equity, we have called attention to the way in which bad actors are too often protected by the old boys network, which minimizes, excuses, or deflects the perpetrator’s bad behavior . . . .
Here’s an article he wrote in 2020 in Harvard Business Review:
How Men Can Confront Other Men About Sexist Behavior
Globally, most men support gender equality and believe they are contributing in meaningful ways. While some men may be doing their part in interpersonal allyship — mentorships and other professional relationships and support to push women forward — few are helping with public allyship — becoming courageous watchdogs for equity, dignity, respect, and fairness in the workplace. Perhaps this explains evidence showing that 77% of men believe they are doing all they can to support gender equality, while only 41% of women agree. That means men must do more to speak up and speak out when they see bad behavior.
Active confrontation of other men for sexism, bias, harassment, and all manner of inappropriate behavior may be the toughest part of male allyship. It is also utterly essential. For many men, challenging masculine workplace norms is where the cost of allyship gets real in a hurry. We define confrontation this way: Bringing sexism and exclusion of women to the attention of men who knowingly or unknowingly instigate and perpetuate these attitudes and outcomes in their words and actions. . . .
Professor Johnson’s website shows he runs “Workplace Allies” for his book and public speaking:
Gender-in-the-workplace experts David G. Smith, PhD and W. Brad Johnson, PhD show why and how men have a crucial role to play in promoting gender equality at work. A sociologist and a clinical psychologist, they are professors and former naval officers with a mission to help men become more effective allies, accomplices, mentors, and collaborators with women to create a more inclusive workplace.
The American election results show men (and women) are really getting tired of walking on eggshells and being told what to do by liberals scolding and shaming people’s behaviors, accusing them of bad behavior–especially using an overt Cultural Marxism CRT/DEI agenda. It would seem American midshipmen becoming warfighters and Officers and Gentlemen would find this tiring and insulting too.
Scott Jennings Offers Telling Points on Democrats’ Losses With Young Men (Town Hall)
. . . . “I think the Democrats in this election made men feel like that ‘the patriarchy is over, boys, and we’re going to put you in the back seat for a while, and you’re just going to have to accept it,’ without any thought to the ramifications of telling people who are out honestly trying to make a living, provide for their families, be good husbands, be good fathers.
When you tell people who are doing their level best that either, A, it’s not good enough, or, B, you’re part of the problem, what do you expect?” Jennings offered. . . .

. . . .Later during the show, when Jennings and other panelists were talking about the appeal that Trump has with young men, Phillip raised the point of how “people would say Donald Trump speaks to, you know, the lesser angels of everyone, not the higher angels,” also offering that “part of it too, it almost feels like men–there’s a backlash to men being accused of being too misogynistic in the sort of MeToo era and all of that.”
Jennings asked the fitting question of “who gets to decide whose angels are right and wrong?”
He then spoke further of how men have felt about the Democratic Party in this regard. “I mean, I think one of the issues that you’re articulating, and I agree with you, is that men feel like Democrats and the sort of the society that is built up around this viewpoint is constantly looking over their shoulder, the sort of the professional, oh, fainting society waiting to hear what thing offends them next and is it coming out of your mouth and what am I going to do to you when I hear it come out of your mouth.”
With Trump, though, there’s a contrast. “And, you know, the way men talk to each other, the way men interact with each other, you know, I think in Trump, they see somebody who is sort of immune from the cancelation society or immune from the group of people who would try to police at all,” Jennings continued, with Phillip and other panelists pointing out that Trump himself has survived plenty of accusations. . . .
A little more on the @cnn discussion of how Democrats have pushed away men. Dudes are sick of the professional fainting society members constantly looking over their shoulder, and in Trump they see a bulwark against the cancel culture of the Left. pic.twitter.com/KnhQuD37ns
