“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

I think I’m fairly masculine, big dude who enjoys being strong, I like outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, hiking. I really like working with my hands.

I’m left as fuck.

Most dudes I run into I would consider weak and the ones who are “masculine” pretty much just watch a ton of sports but are otherwise effete.

The problem is, masculinity has been turned into a performative art these days. To the culture obsessed with masculinity, you have to fall in line, wear the clothes, support the right people…. What they don’t get is that this is the least masculine behavior possible.

Seriously, look at the “masculine” types, they all are groomed, their trucks are all spotless, they go to work and sit in the same chairs as the rest of us; but think their fascist adjacent clothing makes them look tough. I see nothing but insecure manchildren.
