When it comes to iron determination, strength of character, courage, resilience and sheer power and scope, a man manlier than all of us was Fred Rogers.
He was a pretty tough sonuvabitch. He saw a whole generation of children frightened by a bold new world, and did something about it. Could you do this?

Somehow, just about every time elite American men look at virtually any sociological change, they see a crisis of masculinity.
And always a panic about the morals and life skills of the next generation. I’ve always hated “kids these days” arguments
Although, now that I’m getting older and I work in higher education, it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between actual need for educational reform to fit the modern climate and the relaxing of standards and rigor in higher ed. Is the crisis that we need to do a better job teaching students not to cheat, or do we just need to change how we write tests? Etc.
Anyways, get off of my lawn and thanks for coming to my TED talk.
“Manhood” and masculinity are stupid ideologies.
Manhood or masculinity is perfectly fine so long as it’s a personal decision and you don’t judge others to whatever you’ve decided is the “standard”
If you want to wear plaid with an 18 inch beard and chop wood, awesome. Just don’t tell me thats the only standard for “a man”
Elites… teach us??? Hmm, no.
Unless they’re teaching us where not to stick the pitchforks.
This article and every other article they link to in this series is written by a woman. A series discussing manhood and masculinity. I said it the last time an article like this was posted and I’ll say it again. Women writing articles about masculinity should be viewed in much the same way as men writing articles about women. They have no perspective in what it means to be a man or what masculinity is or is not.
Edit: Adjusted wording per another reply.
I agree with some of what you say but "abhorrent trend " is a bit much. If anything I think it’s more of and eye roll.
