    Wow the only sane comment I found in this thread so far.

    The issue isn’t masculinity or how it can be toxic (to even suggest it is insulting imo).

    The issue is:

    Society does not value men!!!

    That’s it, it’s not complicated at all. It’s not this weird problem with masculinity.

    Society does not value men inherently like women (as in for just existing), it values the benefit they can provide.

    This has been the case in all of human history. The difference now is that we no longer prepare most/all men to be able to provide the most value they can.

    I always thought the solution was to value men inherently too. But that means saying a “you go bro” to incels and other “low value” men.
