The problem is the Western and now global conception of masculinity is broken (for many reasons) with social media acting as an accelerant.

At some point Stoicism got bastardized into being emotionless and that got imbued into Western masculinity also.

We're going to have to go back to actively teaching boys how to be men if we want to course correct (rather than having Rogan or Peterson teach them).
