Is that fair? voice-verified

Why don't you like the term toxic masculinity? voice-verified

So I don't like how the phrase toxic masculinity gets used, but I think it can be a useful phrase because of what it implies, right? voice-verified

It implies that there are vices that maybe are not exclusive to men, but are disproportionately male. voice-verified

Men are more violent than women and so on, right? voice-verified

But then that there are also... voice-verified

virtues that are, again, not unique to men, but are sort of associated with masculinity in certain ways. voice-verified

And I think you were just describing some of them. voice-verified

And in the book, you have the three Ps. voice-verified

To me, it's your description of virtuous masculinity. voice-verified

So tell me what the three Ps are. voice-verified

Not on this show you won't, Scott. voice-verified

Don't worry. voice-verified

The incel movement and everything associated with it is pretty much by definition a movement for men who feel like they're not succeeding generally. voice-verified

For men who are succeeding, right, who are sort of attractive in the dating pool, if you're telling them, go out, have sex, be horny, whatever else, how do you get that to be... voice-verified

connected to protection and providing rather than just being a different P, right? voice-verified

Which is predatory. voice-verified

And I don't mean, to be clear, I don't mean like rape and sexual assault predation. voice-verified

Just being a player that's not failing. voice-verified

Exactly, just treating women badly in a dating market that benefits you because all these other men are failing. voice-verified
