Episode #46: Manufacturing Male Grievance (Part One) - The "Toxic Masculinity" Trap
Exploring the Propaganda of Masculinity
In this episode of 'Propaganda Loves You,' Kodie, Arthur, and Joe delve into the concept of toxic masculinity and its use as propaganda. The discussion includes a reading from the Anxiety Depression Association of America to define toxic masculinity and its core tenets: toughness, anti-femininity, and power. The hosts explore how these traits become harmful when enforced as the only acceptable model of masculinity. They also touch on personal anecdotes, the impact of societal pressures on men's mental health, and the role of the media in perpetuating these toxic ideals. The episode further examines the broader implications of toxic masculinity in the context of fascist regimes and ends with a teaser for an upcoming conversation about the book 'How Fascism Works' by Jason Stanley.
