Episode 70 -- Heroic masculinity, baby!

Some idiot psychologist (pardon the redundancy) contrived the term "toxic masculinity" back in the '80s. He wasn't so bad, really, since he attributed the term to the truly bad sh*t that men sometimes do. Problem is -- women do a lot of that same sh*t, so it just doesn't work. And, of course, the butt-hurt-arati smelly Lefties ran with the term, especially after creepy Weinstein got outed. So the furry Lefties started saying that all masculinity is basically toxic.
Thing is, men are the heroic gender, by and large. We're strong and we like to protect others, and we do most of the scary, dangerous, productive stuff that keeps society rolling along and safe.
Here's the link to an Atlantic article about heroic masculinity that we mention in this episode of DudeReally: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/heroic-toxic-masculinity-boys/675172/
