The only kind of social “movement” men need is the collective banning of manosphere content. That’s what’s brainwashing these young boys. The rest are symptoms of a failing capitalist economy.
Telling people what not to do is far less effective than giving them positive and aspirational advice. Jordan Peterson literally told boys to clean their room and he became outrageously popular overnight. How sick is our culture when boys are so starved for wholesome masculine guidance that they'll cling to the first man who gives them healthy paternal advice like "clean your room"? Something people on the left in particular do not understand about this issue is that telling boys to be more like girls doesn't work. They need to be told it's normal and healthy to be aggressive and competitive and physical, as long as it's done in a way which doesn't hurt people. Masculinity isn't evil. Anyone who calls it "toxic" should be admonished and derided. We need Aragorn like figures in the real world to show boys what healthy masculinity looks like.
