At the DNC, Gov. Tim Walz showcased a modern masculinity emphasizing emotional intelligence, stating, “surround yourself with smart women and listen to them, and you'll do just fine.” This reflects a shift from traditional roles toward a more inclusive approach to male identity.
Gender equity researcher Amy Diehl highlighted the contrasting masculinities at play, noting that figures like Walz and Doug Emhoff represent 'tonic masculinity,' which serves as an antidote to 'toxic masculinity' and embraces emotional openness and support for women's leadership.
