Men are protectors and defenders.
But guess what?
We're also caregivers.
We're also hairdressers.
We also want to look pretty sometimes.
And sometimes we want to be macho as fuck.
We just need to expand what it means to be a man in the same way that women expanded what it means to be a woman.
We're all all of these things.
We are all full spectrum human beings.
And that's what I tell my kid.
And that's what the message of the book was.
And so when I think about masculinity or toxic masculinity, what I think about is people like, you know, the normal cast of characters, somebody like Andrew Tate, who is just a vile rapist.
Yes.
But is being esteemed as this paradigm of masculinity because he's unabashedly
a racist, a rapist, and probably a racist.
Yeah, because – but it's important to look at the whys and wherefores of how we arrived here because there was a time –
not that long ago, when men's roles and women's roles were more clearly delineated and that worked to the great advantage of men.
That was entirely to men's benefit.
And so what happened is as the women's rights movement gained traction and people recognized that, oh yeah, women actually are human beings.
Women started entering the workforce in greater and greater numbers.
