This is such an insightful way to articulate the issue. The conversation mostly revolves around individuals ("men are bad"). This is one of the few times that men are talked about in a way that acknowledges the system at play, that they are a product of an environment and society that has shaped them a certain way.

I've lost the podcast source that talked about "there is no good way to be a man currently". Even for someone who wants to be a better man, there aren't role models or celebrations of " good manliness". There's no positive road map, only a list of "don'ts" and stereotypes to avoid.

The best example of good manliness in media I can think of is Bandit from Bluey.

The options are pretty slim if a cartoon dog from a children’s show is humanity’s best example of being a good man.

Tim Walz seems to do it right.
