Join the contestThe funny thing is when they talked about the straight white male privilege and how the capitalist society helps the patriarchy. The white males at the top are few and far between. Most white males in America work blue collar jobs and aren't making millions or trillions of $$$ a year.
These men work their asses off only to be told that they are not good enough. That's why there are drug overdoses and alcoholism.

YethSerious question though… is gen z masculinity measured by the strongest lisp?
High society might feel that way. Urban society might as well.There is a "kernel" of truth in the article. What has really destroyed masculinity (and their was a good article, I just can't remember where) is the destruction of "community" specifically the Masculine Male Community. Men no longer associate and are isolated. Our activities are looked down upon and discouraged by society.
Go to the bar? You're a Drunk (It England, I hear its what people do)
Mechanic/Cars? Too macho
Guns? AYFKM?
Boxing? Gay
UFC? Too violent
Football? Flag for looking angrily at the quarterback.
Lol yeah, and ice fishing is mainly that too.Hahahaha. "Deer Camp" is just a bunch of guys sitting in a cabin, talking, eating barbecue, and drinking beer (or whiskey).
One problem:High society might feel that way. Urban society might as well.
American society doesn’t care.
The author lives in a Greenwich Village NYC university vacuum. That’s not America. Not even close.
Conversations I commonly have at work:
I’m far from living in some misogynistic bubble. This is just what normal people talk about in a normal American community.
- Kids’ performance at the latest football game or wrestling match or rodeo.
- Hunting, shooting, fishing, LR rifles, suppressors, NV, thermal, etc
- Ongoing DIY remodeling with concrete pours and home expansions on top of just flooring or painting.
- Vehicle maintenance and improvements including engine swaps, transmission rebuilding, axle regearing, etc.
- Cattle and other livestock raising
- Gardens measured in acres.
- Pro sports, sure, but they know I give zero fucks about it.

I fixed all that by getting involved in USPSA.@DocRDS I feel the isolation too, but not how you put it.
I’m experiencing this isolation as I age. Some of my old friends are gone (moved) but many are so fixated by family life that the very thought a week-long hunting or ski trip with just us guys is alien to them. Like I asked them to dye their hair orange or something.
They are hyper-scheduled out to 2040 and slaves to their wife, aka “the boss”.
That last bit is important. I feel that a bit too. Unfortunate, it is.
Does anyone else feel this way? Is this just a Minnesotan thing? Or a white-collar thing? Or a Minnesotan white-collar thing? Or a Minnesotan white-collar guy married to a Minnesotan white-collar woman thing?
I hear echos of groups of guys who retreat to deer camp or the ice fishing shacks for a week-plus, and not just once a year. I just don’t run in those circles, unfortunately, and in Minnesota at least, making a new friend is a decade-long endeavor (at least)
That's probably why I never made friends with any of the other dads in my daughter's high school which is 15 miles south of where I live and definitely urban.One problem:
80% of the US is Urban (population) so what you have may be "normal" but its definitely not "average"
I'd venture to say your experience doesn't represent what happens on average.

I was able to get a lot of the male bonding while serving in the Army. To be honest now I crave the isolation. I don't have shared experiences with those around me, the is no brotherhood. The older I get the more I want to get away from people.@DocRDS I feel the isolation too, but not how you put it.
Realize that yes, I have graduated from a four-year college (gasp!). For dudes who use their hands for a living (props to you, btw), I’m not sure what your experiences are. See below for my take.
Straight men become friends through a “shared adventure”. Not by talking.
Pretty obvious.
The problem is that outside of high school/college/early 20’s it becomes quite difficult to have these adventures with new fellows. Women, who become friendly via talking, do not have this limit.
My wife can go on a girl’s weekend four or five times a year, in which five chicks just sit in a damn cabin, talk, eat gourmet food (one is a chef), and drink red wine.
I say WTF???

Yeah, understand. Myself, I am bored and want to occasionally do something with other guys. Like 2-4 times a year.I was able to get a lot of the male bonding while serving in the Army. To be honest now I crave the isolation. I don't have shared experiences with those around me, the is no brotherhood. The older I get the more I want to get away from people.

Rising morbidity and mortality in midlife among white non-Hispanic Americans in the 21st century

Significance
Midlife increases in suicides and drug poisonings have been previously noted. However, that these upward trends were persistent and large enough to drive up all-cause midlife mortality has, to our knowledge, been overlooked. If the white mortality rate for ages 45−54 had held at their 1998 value, 96,000 deaths would have been avoided from 1999–2013, 7,000 in 2013 alone. If it had continued to decline at its previous (1979‒1998) rate, half a million deaths would have been avoided in the period 1999‒2013, comparable to lives lost in the US AIDS epidemic through mid-2015. Concurrent declines in self-reported health, mental health, and ability to work, increased reports of pain, and deteriorating measures of liver function all point to increasing midlife distress.
Abstract
This paper documents a marked increase in the all-cause mortality of middle-aged white non-Hispanic men and women in the United States between 1999 and 2013. This change reversed decades of progress in mortality and was unique to the United States; no other rich country saw a similar turnaround. The midlife mortality reversal was confined to white non-Hispanics; black non-Hispanics and Hispanics at midlife, and those aged 65 and above in every racial and ethnic group, continued to see mortality rates fall. This increase for whites was largely accounted for by increasing death rates from drug and alcohol poisonings, suicide, and chronic liver diseases and cirrhosis. Although all education groups saw increases in mortality from suicide and poisonings, and an overall increase in external cause mortality, those with less education saw the most marked increases. Rising midlife mortality rates of white non-Hispanics were paralleled by increases in midlife morbidity. Self-reported declines in health, mental health, and ability to conduct activities of daily living, and increases in chronic pain and inability to work, as well as clinically measured deteriorations in liver function, all point to growing distress in this population. We comment on potential economic causes and consequences of this deterioration.

No. No it's not.Worth a read
That's just a cultural reflection of the state's nordic origins. Do some digging on expat experiences moving to any of the Scandinavian countries and you'll see the same exact thing.Yeah, understand. Myself, I am bored and want to occasionally do something with other guys. Like 2-4 times a year.
Around my friends/relations (including my brother), that’s like asking for the moon or something. Brother’s wife locks him down quite a bit, but he also would rather slavishly go to his son’s YEAR-ROUND soccer games, which happen out of state too.
I don’t get it. I used to do stuff with these guys and we had fun. We talk on the phone every 2-4 weeks at length. But their schedules are chock full of family stuff, which is very Minnesotan.
See the pdf of a recent story in the Star Tribune titled, “Why is it that Minnesotans will 'give you directions to anywhere but their home'?”
Here’s a link too. Not sure if it’s behind a paywall. Comments are golden. This crap happens between Minnesotans too, not just newcomers/Minnesotans.

What no men give a shit about:
- What journalists think.
Even more that I don't care what they have to say. Magazines about cars, guns, whatever is nothing more than a glossy paged, industry funded advertisement that you pay to be fed their puff-piece bullshit lies. It has been years that I've bought or had a subscription to any magazine that didn't have at least a 15 round capacity.Unless it’s a car magazine.
They worked their asses off so their factories could be sent overseas and their coal mines and energy sector jobs could be shut down in the name of a hoax. Then that same system that did that to them recruits their children to be fodder for wars they never had a hand in starting. Then the pharmaceutical industry dumps pain killers on them that they know are addictive. To top it all off the ones that saved their whole lives to send their kids to the university system either don’t get to go because they are white or when they get there they have their heads pumped full of bullshit that, most of the time, has no real world use or makes them a degenerate. And finally when they have had enough and vote for someone who hears their voice and understands their woes, that very system spends the next four years trying to undo their vote.The funny thing is when they talked about the straight white male privilege and how the capitalist society helps the patriarchy. The white males at the top are few and far between. Most white males in America work blue collar jobs and aren't making millions or trillions of $$$ a year.
These men work their asses off only to be told that they are not good enough. That's why there are drug overdoses and alcoholism.
