You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

Invoking WWII (or war in general) as some nostalgic period or activity for young men and masculinity is just idiotic

Men loving their wives: gay
Men feeling any emotion (other than rage): gay
Men obsessing over other men's masculinity and/or lack thereof: FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, I TOLD YOU I'M NOT GAY DAMNIT

It’s because us trans men are pretend; we’re actually women in their eyes, so, not a threat to their masculinity. It’s trans women (ie “men” to them) that vex them because they can’t process someone giving up their perceived masculinity.

SHARP, BLUNT, POINTED:
Nichols points out that working-class white men support Trump though he violates their own standards of "masculinity" because his power targets cultural enemies they resent, insecurities, and anxieties, with Trump functioning as a spectacle and outlet for their frustration.

In a new book, Scott Galloway declares that discontented young men need an “aspirational vision of masculinity” to oppose the misogynist messaging of influencers like Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/wFm9hX
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

It claims, as I've seen so many times, that men have been warned against falling into toxic masculinity but haven't been offered an alternative, healthier form of masculinity
And I'm sorry, but that's bullshit

People are obsessed with uncovering "Down Low" Men but the way men react to these allegations is an interesting case study in the performance of masculinity and compulsive heterosexuality.

GDT's films have consistently featured women (and men!) with interiority, goals, flaws but also have ultimately been harmed by the social mechanisms of men and masculinity and this fits right into that. My god.
*whispers* It is a faithful adaptation of an early 1800s novel by a woman about an arrogant self centered man

I truly believe that older men should mentor younger men in the hierarchy of masculinity. The More time spent in mentoring, the more successful the connection. Older men need to release their DNA into available holes consistently for this to materialize. #Repost if you agree.

afaict the foundation of masculinity is men making shit up that isnt true and then demanding all of society not only panic with them but completely rewrite itself to assuage the unbearable pain and humiliation they feel when the untrue thing they completely made up is inevitably shown to be untrue

With all the talk about the 'masculinity crisis' in young men, the 'solution' is always TOWARDS more masculine behavior.
But the crisis is really that!
Stop forcing masculinity on a 🦋! When you force a whiteboi to 'be a man', that's toxic and creates strife and violence. Let them be who they are!

The meat industry knows its customer base. Across nearly every country, men eat more meat than women. The exception? Gay and bisexual men. Because their masculinity isn’t tangled up in chewing carcasses. That terrifies a system built on power.

Nifty little data point here. Don’t chase the manosphere into hell. Give young men a positive masculinity to aspire to.
Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

I read the New Yorker article about Scot Galloway and the crisis of men.
The two points that occur to me are:
1) “Crisis in Masculinity” is actually evergreen, and has been going on in this incarnation since at least the late 1800s.

So tired of watching men be unable to redefine “masculinity” as a sort of gender neutral “don’t be an awful person” as it just reinforces for me the biological determinism our society has so strongly backswung into

My two boys (men, but my babies) have exclusively female friends and work circles. It happened organically, but I'm grateful they are away from toxic masculinity, which is everywhere. There are few good role models left.

God, I'm so tired of what men need to have so-called self-respect (for which read unstinting praise and endless privilege). Especially the American version of pumped up spoiled jocks and vicious little right-wing whiners. The crisis of masculinity is them. Full stop.

Here's a paywall free version if you want to read some whining about how male loneliness can't be fixed until leftists (female variety) stop using the term toxic masculinity. Because men & the right can't fix the problem unless woman & the left are on board, in this one specific instance only.

Ricky Gervais is one of those douchebag men who, after a certain age, start posturing with "anti woke" stuff to make up for the fact that they see their masculinity waning. See also: Graham Linehan.
