Hearts of Men: How Should Progressives React to Masculinity Influencers like Andrew Tate?
Online masculinity is getting weirder and weirder. We\u2019re way past mere misogyny and sexual predation (though, that\u2019s still certainly there). Now, we\u2019ve also got bro science, ball tanning, ball eatin,\u2019 piss drinkin,\u2019 and who knows what's next.\nHowever, perhaps these mockable male influencers are onto something, in a roundabout way. There is just something broken in the hearts of men, as Barbara Ehrenreich once\xa0put it. If there wasn't, male influencers wouldn't be as popular as they are. This new mansophere offers a simple for whatever ails: yearning for old gendered hierarchies, obsessing over self-improvement and dieting, and ceaselessly grinding under capitalism. In response, we ask: what's really wrong with men, and how might we fix it?\n\nSUPPORT THE SHOW\nYou can support the show for free by following or subscribing on\xa0Spotify,\xa0Apple Podcasts, or whichever app you use.
