Unpopular opinion: Hard times will come again, and masculine men will again become sexy.

There is a constant battle between dominator/partnership societal subgroups (a distinction by Riane Eisler in Chalice and the Blade) which one naively could distinguish as patriarchal-masculine / matriarchal-feminine. The abundance of resources the past decades has rendered the traditional, masculine and competitive men obsolete, and women have shifted their focus in more feminised versions.

But as history has repeatedly shown, periods of prosperity always come to an end, and the wheel keeps turning.



Obsolete? We just had a President Trump not even one year ago. The regressive ideals of toxic masculinity still have deep roots in our culture.
