Opinion | Masculinity Is on the Ballot
Briefly

In the current political climate, the election is not merely about traditional issues but revolves around contrasting notions of masculinity with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz representing a progressive model.
Rebecca Traister highlights that progressive men, such as Doug Emhoff, epitomize enlightened masculinity, seamlessly integrating liberal values with traditional roles, showing support for women academically and socially.
The contrasting narrative positions Donald Trump and JD Vance as embodiments of toxic masculinity, promoting a neo-patriarchy that seeks to undermine the advances of feminism under the guise of supporting female agency.
Critics express skepticism about liberalism's ability to promote a modern masculinity that resonates with the masses, suggesting that the political left hasn't fully realized its goals in reshaping gender norms.
