Why do Democrats have a masculinity problem?
Article here. Excerpt:
'Aside from all the ways that men play the role of American culture’s scapegoat (“toxic masculinity”), mainstream American life is deeply feminine (as is much of modern American evangelicalism). The feminine gaze is the operating assumption of modern life. To partake in polite society requires adopting a feminine instinct to operate in today’s mainstream. One must cater virtually every message to the whims of the most important demographic: suburban women.
Adding to the feminization of modern American life is the effeminacy, forced and unforced, of the dominant models of modern masculinity. By effeminate, I’m not referring merely to men who adopt feminine affectations in their dress or speech. I mean all the ways that elite American culture simultaneously mocks men who are unapologetic in their masculinity as simpletons and cavemen while upholding the gender-sensitive metrosexual or finely draped homosexual as the epitome of masculinity. If you want courageous masculinity profiled, you must go outside of the mainstream media to see it.'
