The New Crisis of Masculinity

[Webster]

Listen Notes: The new crisis of masculinity

What does masculinity mean these days? Sean Illing speaks with Christine Emba, a columnist at The Washington Post who wrote the piece “Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness.” Together they discuss the confusing state of manhood, why figures like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate hold appeal, and how masculinity could be redefined.

How is this new?

This has been going on for at least twenty years.

When boys "act like boys" the school systems want them to be medicated.

When men act like men, you're told to go to sensitivity training.

When liberal women get on TV and start talking about "toxic masculinity" they'll show clips of The Rat Pack and John Wayne to make their point.

How is this new?

Its' new in the sense that if young boys don't have positive male role models in their lives, they're going to - just like high-pressure seeks low-pressure to move into - seek out other male role models and unfortunately the Andrew Tates' of the world are right there to fill those roles. The thing is, we're both old enough, Doc, to know the difference between boys acting like boys and men acting like men and being rude, insensitive and misogynistic towards women.
