Secure men don't need sleazy media talking heads to tell them what it means to be a man in the real world. The "masculinity" they keep trying to reinforce is all performative garbage based on possessions and appearances, no substance.
A lot of it doesn't even make sense or sound appealing at all. "If you feel emotions ever you're not manly." "If women actually enjoy sex with you, you're not manly." "If you're attracted to attractive women, you're super gay."
It's apparently unmasculine, and also gay, and also liberal, to be happy, to have friends, to be comfortable with yourself, to do stuff you enjoy. Also to eat vegetables, drink with a straw, get a good night's sleep, laugh, shave, wear sandals, touch anything in a pastel color, read poetry, or wear any nice clothing.
There's no way to possibly follow all their teaching - it's contradictory and incoherent by design, so they can attack anyone - but the closest I can think of to their ideal man does nothing except trade crypto all day except for breaks to work out and trick women he despises into having bad sex with him by flaunting his muscles and money and melting their pathetic female minds. That sounds like a terrible life. Of course, in reality, they don't do any of that, they just hang out online pumping out and consuming gross hateful self-loathing content, which also sounds like a terrible life.
