“We like to see a man calling himself a feminist, but we’re kinda scared when women do. We like to hear white people talk about racism, but we find black activists a bit too aggressive. Or we like to hear business leaders telling us that climate change is crucial and that we need to give up fossil fuels when environmental activists have been saying the exact same thing for years and years. Well, AOC is trying to do the same thing here. She wants billionaires to say TTR because when working-class people do, nobody cares. AOC wanted to use that system to her advantage. She wanted to gain power within that system and the dichotomy between fighting against the system, but using the means of that very system is at the origin of all the criticism she got.”

“The homophobic, racist, misogynistic or fatphobic homosocial discussions I witnessed and grew up with are now happening online. The political correctness that these men tend to adopt as they step out of those homosocial circles has completely disappeared. The language of the manosphere has become mainstream. Hate speech is raw now.”

“However, the researcher Francis Dupuis-Déri has shown there isn’t anything new about the crisis of masculinity. A quick search on the internet made him realise that it already existed in Ancient Rome, in the English and French kingdoms at the end of the Middle Ages, again in England in the eighteenth century, during the French revolution, in Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century and towards the end of the twentieth century, in France, the US and British colonies towards the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth, between the two World Wars, in the 1950s and 1960s in the US, Germany and USSR, and has spread since the 1990s in the West, in Maghreb, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Kenya, Tanzania, Darfur, in Latin America, and also in Japan, China, Bangladesh, Mongolia, Palestine, Iran and Israel.13 So, are men interminably in crisis?14”
