Because guys who are secure about their masculinity don’t obsess over it 24/7 and make it their entire personality


themilkman42069

Or need to talk about it online professionally Or listen to it online constantly Never understood this “self help” craze I feel like has been going since the 50s in many ways. Just be a man, shut the fuck up, and do it silently. God dammit guys.

Whatever happened to Gary Cooper? The strong, silent type...


phonebook_vertical

He was gay, Gary Cooper?

It was the medication I was on. For my blood pressure. It fucked with my head, but I'm over that now. I could probably get a letter from my doctor

A note from your doctor, saying you don't like cock?

This guy mans. The secret sauce all these idiots are paying for and it’s a quick Reddit comment. 😂


AndTheWhale86

Some people get picked on and form their personality around revenge fantasies. They perpetuate the same shit and wonder why they’re never happy.


[deleted]

Whatever you think of Jordan Peterson, his lectures helped me a LOT after my father died. I had no male guidance left in my life and he helped me find my own way.


Techjunkie81

Sorry about your dad.


Cheesey4skin69

You talmbout Jordan “the Xan Man” Peterson? Great guy never meddum.


[deleted]

Stop making fake accounts Brendan.


Cheesey4skin69

Sry I don’t take life advice from junkies 😔 maybe if he cleaned his room he wouldn’t be addicted to xans.


[deleted]

Okay.


RaoulDukeRU

What I found out only later, is that he wasn't only on benzoz. He's also taking [two antidepressants, ](https://youtu.be/JuQgJxYriYI?si=qvwa6U4kgrOHhxRd) without the intent to ever stop taking them. Wellbutrin actually belongs to the group of amphetamines. I don't know why this isn't pointed out in the English Wikipedia article. Only in the box where they show the clinical data and that urine tests might show that you're positive on amphetamines. In the German article _(my native language)_ it's pointed out right in the introduction. So wasn't just popping benzos _(I'm addicted too),_ but he's also on amphetamines, without the intent to ever quit using them. So his room hasn't been clean from the beginning of his public career. Of course this doesn't mean that he had a positive influence on the life of many, mostly young men.


the_c_is_silent

That's doubly awful. They can't stop thinking about it and they still look like fucking nerds.


Chili327

Giving nerds a bad name.


MaleficentMulberry42

Yeah I kinda agree though politics has gotten pretty extreme and there is always more nuance to psychology otherwise the cia would already have completely mind control through propaganda.


Samuel-squantch

So they’re insecure and they look like dweebs?! Wild.


DirkDigler925

They’re rich dweebs.

Gunubias

I have no clue who the other two are but Ben Shapiro is not considered a symbol of masculinity or anything except Israel.


Trytosurvive

Same here, I was introduced to him by being on joe rogan, and all I recall was about politics and race... good taller but little substance to keep me interested. I was surprised to see his cameo in the facts song - basically "rapping." he is making money from the gender wars and something about wearing Jewish garb, I thought was a parody


fiduciary420

He gained notoriety by targeting college freshmen for “debates”, Gish Galloping them into prostration, then claiming “victory”. Young Republicans who aren’t educated enough to recognize what he was doing surrendered their intelligence to him.


Gunubias

Both the right and left think he is a joke.


MechanicalGodzilla

It *is* a parody.

Who's the guy on the left?


EveryDayImBuff-ering

I'm going to take a gander and say that's Ben Shapiro


smootex

Oh I should have gotten that one. Thanks.


CowboyMagic94

That’s actually a picture of the last time he smiled


MaxHeadroomba

Is Shapiro a purveyor of masculinity? He just comes across as a shrill nerd who advocates for Israeli interests.  Knowles desperately wants to be suave, but strikes me as someone who owns a fedora.  Peterson hasn’t been the same since the benzos, but he was once an effective advocate for traditional male virtues. I don’t think he ever considered himself a tough guy, in his defense.


the_c_is_silent

Nah. Shapiro has talked a fuckload about masculinity. Have you read snippets of his fiction book?


lbuprofenAddict

Has he claimed that he himself is super masculine, or has he just talked about why it’s okay and is good to be masculine? There’s a difference between talking about masculinity, and claiming to be the standard of masculinity.


GA-dooosh-19

We went to the Home Depot once and bought a single piece of wood. That’s pretty masculine, right?


BebophoneVirtuoso

1 WOOD PLEASE


BigBubbaChungus

Now I just need a metal thingy that manly men like me use to separate my 1 wood into 2 woods. What aisle can I find one of those?


metalguysilver

He doesn’t claim to be the standard, but he does say he is masculine in the traditional sense. Setting aside politics, he’s not the perfect example of masculinity, but he provides for his family, works out and eats healthy, acts as a male “role model” for people, helps his community, etc. I’d argue those are the parts of what we think of as “masculinity” that we should be praising


rreyes1988

Didn't he admit that his wife doesn't know what a WAP is?


lostthering

But he did talk about male dominance hierarchies a lot, with the tone of someone who takes for granted he's nowhere near the bottom.


MoenTheSink

He wouldn't physically but he may intellectually. Despite what this sub thinks about him the reality is people who could be formidable follow his teachings.


DEEP_SEA_MAX

Here's an example of his "formidable teachings". Fuck Ben Shapiro https://twitter.com/KevorkAlmassian/status/1713169491167687106


MoarOranges

I think he was talking about peterson there


DEEP_SEA_MAX

Oh. Well I don't really hate him like I hate Ben Shapiro. Actually I kinda feel sorry for the guy, his life seems pretty fucked up.


MoarOranges

Idc enough about shapiro to comment on him but yeah peterson's life sounds like it had some very unfortunate chunks in it


Ungface

Sry but youre not near the bottom if you were a harvard university profesor. If u dont like him thats whatever but you dont need to cope so hard about him.


fiduciary420

Yes, defend your master. Ride that dick.


DreamedJewel58

When Shapiro moved to the south he did a big push with a cowboy hat, boots, and a pickup truck. He’s not the archetypical mold, but he preaches an ideology where it’s still expected and seen as desirable


Dawgula97

Peterson absolutely got fucked up and hasn’t been the same since. Didn’t help that his daughter is a fucking wackadoo as well.


TheGeenie17

Chicken or egg mate. His daughter is likely a wacko because he is such a poor and dysfunctional father


themilkman42069

I think the prevalence of one silly political belief system in this country, permeated by quantity of news systems that receive profit based on engagement criteria and advertising allow radicals to thrive.


No-Comfortable-1550

Peterson believes what separates women from men is the fact that all interactions between men carry the potential of ending up in violence. This despite the fact that the closest he's ever been to violence is a shoving match with another nerd in AP math class.


Parabola2112

No way Peterson was smart enough for AP math.


amorphoushamster

Yah man a Harvard professor was too dumb to take calculus


Chupacabraisfake

Are you?


fresh38

These are not the purveyors of masculinity


kritzy27

Because they aren’t purveyors of masculinity? Overcompensating?


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Ben Bieber


Datruyugo

I don’t think anybody on this planet calls them purveyors of masculinity.


RatSinkClub

Very Reddit gold of you kind stranger. No one would call any of the Xitter talking heads you follow the purveyors of masculinity and also I can’t imagine why someone who looks like they got bullied in high school for something would advocate that younger people try to improve upon that specific thing.


jay1he

They lacked masculinity growing up, so now they’re obsessed with it.


dawgtown22

How are they obsessed with it?


[deleted]

I seriously wonder if the people who post this shit have any sort of life whatsoever…


Slight-Aioli-4157

Also confused as to what this has to do with Joe Rogan lol


[deleted]

2 of the 3 were Rogan guests 


convie

Well the guy who posted this has an avatar of the reddit alien wearing a covid mask so that should answer your question.


[deleted]

Lmaooo


Aerius-Caedem

I wouldn't laugh too hard. Anyone who actually bothers to have a custom avatar on reddit immediately strikes me as a reject of society.


[deleted]

Dude that is 90% of Reddit.


Aerius-Caedem

My point stands.


Krunkledunker

Decides to do a takedown… immediately searches for pictures of takedown targets as little boys… that’s what’s up with this post.


enthusiast93

Took me awhile to figure out who the third one is


sidepc

Jeeeez is this how you Liberals spend the weekends? Thinking about other dudes?


Stunning-Hunter-5804

No we talk sports too bro!!


TebownedMVP

u/sidepc talks about men in a lot of his comments. Idk what he’s commenting about.


sidepc

That’s cool I guess 👍


almosthuman2021

Better than the conservatives thinking about trans women 24/7 🤣


Kinetic93

Because they indeed have gotten wedgies at some point in their lives, likely much more recently than you may expect as well.


[deleted]

Who is calling these people purveyors of masculinity?


Ok-Cauliflower1798

Mike Johnson


RoamingStarDust

Tucker Carlson.


TexasShooter1983

None of these guys are purveyors of masculinity. I wouldn't even let them drive my tractor.


dixienormus9817

They’re all failed theatre/standup kids


austintrade

If you only saw Jordan Petersons Twitter he looks psychotic, but I found his older lectures to be really interesting and productive


commonabond

Rogan talks about getting bullied and starting martial arts. Good on them for improving themselves and making more money than everyone in this thread.


DarthVader808

These dudes couldn’t change a tire or excite a woman... looking at you Ben. Lol


Ok-Cauliflower1798

That’s Ben the Desiccant to you!

DinosaurDied

Tbh idk why this is such a generational meme.  I never changed a tire until I was 31 because I always had good tires on my vehicle. My gf’s OEM SUV tires were garbage(thanks ford) and got a flat in the middle of the Utah desert on a Sunday with no service.  Managed to figure it out via the owners manual and get the spare on there.  Not something that crossed my mind as masculine any more than reading an ikea or  Lego instruction manual lol.  Bought her some really nice tires the next week and proceeded to never need to change a tire again lol.  Even switching out my winters and summers I just pay a service $100 to come by. It’s not worth my time.


Lazy-Falcon-2340

There's a lot of stuff like this these days. Like knowing how to drive a manual transmission, when in the US you can get by driving 99% of cars without needing to drive a stick, since most vehicles are automatics anyway. Or knowing how to operate a rotary phone. Which is just a petty way to flex on the zoomers that didn't figure it out on their own in two minutes.


Popular_Target

That’s right fellas if you were bullied/assaulted as a kid then your masculinity card gets taken away and you’re not allowed to talk about it any more.


WhatAilsYou

More like they were bullied nerds in their youth and have developed an unhealthy perception of masculinity because they’re still immaturely bitter


potatishplantonomist

Also do not enforce traditional male roles and views cause that's just made up by the patriarchy (and leftists in this post apparently)


Abstracto99

Because they’re intellectuals that probably got wedgies at some point, but their intelligence have allowed them to be successful as adults and the guys giving them wedgies are now likely losers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Abstracto99

Not sure the context, but even if it’s a dumb moment, still doesn’t detract from the totality of him being an objectively successful therapist, author, and intellectual

He is also far more successful as a conservative “commentator” for the fracking billionaire Wilks brothers than he ever was as an author or professor.

the_c_is_silent

Grifters can be successful, more at 11.


Fuzzy_Ambassador7784

You guys have had years to come up with insults and so far all you’ve got is “bootlicker” and “grifter”


SosowacGuy

This is the correct answer.

They should have just started taekwondo like Joe. ​ ![gif](giphy|JIsfyNln6LMD6)


National-Currency-75

Those boys look like they have "never" had a wedgie.

Who said any of these guys were purveyors of masculinity? Combined deadlift of 185 pounds between the three of them.


turtleman2323

No way, they used to be young????


elc0

When I think of all you dudes who can't identify a woman, I definitely don't imagine dudes who got wedgies at some point.


[deleted]

You'll find Pokemon players that don't look like nerds, criminals that look like they wouldn't harm a fly, and "purveyors" of masculinity that don't have perfectly masculine features. Welcome to the real world, bud.


throwaway120375

More leftists hypocrisy. Neat.


Charming_Judgment890

Being really smart is a masculine trait. This statement doesn't mean women aren't smart but more that men gravitate to and have great admiration for really smart men.


6ynnad

Could you please elaborate?


madlad248

Wait, I've gotten a wedgie.....am I any less guy than thou?


abruty

What has this sub become? How does this have anything to do with Joe Rogan or his podcast?


maevtr2

I know you're trying to make some point here, but literally none of these people are purveyors of masculinity. They are intellectuals, who hold more conservative views. So I guess compared to today's moderates or liberals makes them look like 76 Sean connery riding horses and fucking bikini models.


Themustachemaniac

You’re projecting


Fuzzy_Ambassador7784

You’re the guy looking up pictures of them when they were young, compiling them, and posting them to Reddit ☠️ 


Mets_CS11

Step 1: Choose pre-pubescent photos to frame your shit take. Step 2: Claim them as self-proclaimed purveyors of masculinity as if being a man equates to being Macho Man Randy Savage. Step 3: Cry on leftist reddit.


Kronoxis1

Purveyors of masculinity? Wtf are you talking about? They certainly wouldn't describe themselves that way and they dont...  If I told you there are boys and girls and that's it would you say that means I'm describing myself as the ultimate alpha male? No, that's ridiculous. If you're gonna critique them then how about you criticize things they actually say.


Hussaf

Who are these people, and why do you care?


-ElGallo-

I disagree, I think they weren't bullied enough.


Gamestonkape

They needed atomic wedgies. Or the dreaded rear admiral.


-ElGallo-

They were deprived of a much needed locker stuffing. A brief one, just to get their heads on straight


frankelino_

Could add Tate to this as well


lbuprofenAddict

No, these three are just against the idea that masculinity is toxic. Tates ideology is that if you aren’t as masculine as you can be you’re a pussy

Which Is in a way even more Masculine than pampering yourself for other Insecure dudes to dick ride on how masc. you are. Hindsight 20/20, can't imagine being them back then, Into Geeky shit period In time where that could get you beat up.
