It is so fucking easy to talk about the struggles of men without repeating right-wing myths and shitting on your own electoral base — and yet!
He also worried that men feel alienated from the political left-wing, in part, because the left has developed a culture that is "increasingly scolding and finger-wagging" and (in a post #MeToo context) often only discusses masculinity in terms of being "toxic" rather than providing alternatives of positive masculinity. "Nobody wants to feel like they've got to look over their shoulder all the time. I grew up in a time when as a man, you were looking over your shoulder to make sure that you were being masculine enough. And of course, that's 10 times more if you happen to be gay. Then you go one turning of the wheel or one generation forward, and I think a lot of young men felt like they were looking over their shoulder for fear of being censured for somehow being toxic or being too masculine or doing or saying something wrong. This is part of what happened with cancel culture." "The key is for people to understand that positive change is not at your expense," he said. "I have a very personal version of this that I've lived out, obviously, which is marriage equality, right? No straight married couple is worse off because we've had marriage equality for the last 10 years. It's only made the institution of marriage stronger. When we get this right, this is not at anybody's expense. But it can feel that way, and my side bears some of the blame for making it feel that way." "Because, again, if we can't separate the word masculinity from the word toxic, or if we make it seem like anybody who's got any discomfort around changes in society, gender roles, you name it, must be some kind of dinosaur or retrograde a**hole — if that's the message we're putting out, then of course people are going to feel like it's hostile to them versus feel like they're being recruited into that new future," he added.

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.
