It is the WWE version of masculinity.

And to point out the absurdity of the former.

while offering examples of the latter is really where we need to go, right?

Offering examples about how absurd the performative masculinity is while offering more examples of true masculinity, real masculinity.

And there are tons and tons of real men doing really good shit out in the world, and we need that to be our focus.

But if you spend 10 minutes on social media, you'll see the quote-unquote blueprint of masculinity.

But it's the performative masculinity.

It's the bullshit.

It's the fancy watch.

It's the rented sports car.

It's all the supplements and the guy yelling at you to be a real man while not even remotely being a real man with no kids, no...

wife not living with integrity or value and telling you have to dominate every room and just performing and performing and performing like a WWE version of what a real man, a real genuine masculine man actually lives like.

That's what you're going to see on social because that's what's attractive to the algorithms, the fancy wash, the cars, all this other bullshit.

And so young men, again, are getting attracted to that and seeing, okay, that's what I need to be in order to be a real man.

But that's, again, not true.

Because that is performative bullshit.

That's the secret that you need to understand.

Because once we understand that's the performative bullshit, then we can filter that nonsense out and actually get to the real thing, which is going to actually teach us how to be a great man in the society that can leave this world better than he found it.

And so that's what you need to understand.

That performative bullshit masculinity, it's not about strength.
