Since I was born in 1971, it’s my view that I grew up in a world in which traditional masculinity was increasingly becoming unfashionable. But it wasn’t until I was in college that this view started to spread more rapidly. And recently, a backlash has developed in the form of “red pill” masculinity, the MGTOW movement, and other related phenomena. Looking back on it all at the age of 53, I’ve often reflected on this privately. Your piece has very important points. In the meantime, here I am, navigating in an increasingly antagonistic era of strained male-female relations that isn’t good for anyone.

Agree totally. Men are likely to be happier when they engage in active pursuits. And women instinctively prefer masculine males, so there's that.

Processed soy seed.

Reduces T and makes everyone more feminine.

It starts in the SOY baby formula

And goes on to ALL of our oil based foods

Salad dressings cooking oil. Just try to

Find an affordable sauce or dressing

Without highly processed SOY oil

(Big t is TESTOSTEONE)

There is also the

“no account sex lives young men lead”

Many do not even know

If they have fathered any children

Moms are “happy” being single with children

But that environment seldom gives

Boys the toughness that

comes from a man in the house.

With your permission I took time to extend your article in a slightly different direction. I’ll cite your work of course as inspiration.
