Happy Hoosier

16. I hard disagree that he's a misogynist

I do think he's drunk the "masculinity crisis" kool-aid a bit much, but I heard him speak on the subject recently and he made it clear that some of the issue is that men, for the first time, are having to deal with some issue that women have had to deal with for thousands of years. His position is not that feminism has to dialed back, but that out work on sexual and gender politics has to recognize that constructions of masculinity are collapsing and it's becoming a broader social issue. He's not wrong about that. I do disagree with him on some proposed approaches, but he's not wrong about that.
