Two masculinities are on display among the VP candidates: J. D. Vance’s, rooted in reactionary domination, and Tim Walz’s, embracing kindness and warmth. If the latter is used to challenge the status quo, it could effectively push back on MAGA-style manhood.
it’s not really related but when I think about being a “man” this quote from Pip (South Park) comes to mind
“Well, I’ve certainly learned a lot. That being a gentleman doesn’t mean learning to dance, or proper table manners. It means being a gentle man. Gentle to everyone.”
Those two sure know how to inject some wisdom in the complete randomness of that show sometimes.
