Patriarchal Panic: Reactionary Machismo, Zero-Sum Politics, and Radicalisation
This essay contends that the current wave of reactionary machismo is less a show of strength and more a planetary man-tantrum. And there’s still hope. Hope that men might come to see that lifting others up doesn’t mean getting bench-pressed into oblivion. That empathy is not emasculating. That maybe, just maybe, sharing the world doesn’t mean losing it.
