The Crisis Of Modern Masculinity - Nina Power

Nina Power is a social theorist, philosopher and an author.
Between incels and toxic masculinity, manspreading, mansplaining, MeToo, MGTOW, Red Pill and Mens Rights, working out what men want from life is a question that both men and women are struggling with. Nina is trying to work out whether men have a firm place to stand in the modern world any more, and why masculinity is under attack.
Expect to learn Nina's post-mortem on men's role in society, how masculinity's crisis hurts women and their future prospects, why Nina disagrees with modern feminism as a long-standing Second Wave Feminist philosopher, how we got to the stage where fear and mistrust of men is widespread, why NoFap ended up being called a hate group, whether the sexual revolution was a good thing and much more...

    Everything the PUA have taught young men were taught on the other side to women, to manipulate men and it was not only accepted but encouraged throuthout time. Manipulating men into behaviour women want is the epitome of a "healthy relationship". Everything about women's appearance is manipulating men, but this is not even acknowledged in this interview.

    The decline in testosterone could very much be a symptom OF a decline in their mental state due to them being labelled “useless” after the eruption of the knowledge economy, as she mentioned. Testosterone affects behaviour, but it’s also the other way around. It kind of all depends on perceived status and value a man has within his subgroup that also determines his place in the pecking order, then testosterone level’s itself accordingly.

    It’s been happening for decades. I was raised under 70s and 80s feminism and environmentalism which told me if I got married and had kids I’d be a slave of the patriarchy and destroy the planet. I was told that men were basically rapists in sheeps clothing and that they’d hit you if you put a foot out of line. I was forced to watch a video of a woman giving birth during biology class and it was horrific. I was terrified. And the boys were being taught exactly the same thing. A whole generation are now realising too late that we were duped as we watched mass immigration being justified because of our ‘low birth rate’ and I’m thinking hang on you TOLD us overpopulation was killing the planet!

    I met lovely girl at 17 and married her at 21. But I wish I'd known more back then. Her family were toxic, it turned out there was a lot of mental issues and behavioural problems. At 40 she developed bipolar disorder like a couple of her cousins and our marriage fell apart. I had to divorce her in the end as the behaviour affected me, I lost my job, she wasted a lot of money, created scenes in public, ran away 5 times. Eventually both our GP and her psychiatrist laid it out for me and I filed for divorce to save myself. The writing was on the wall but neither I, nor my gentle decent parents, could read the signs. Now I have become very wary of women and sadly I find that in middle age most available women are just not worth my time as they rend to be snarky, indebted, have "issues", kids, ex in the background etc etc. It's very hard. Now I'm like Tony in Afterlife..just me and my dog.

    ​@@mrknarf4438 ​ Yea sure, but just in none of the ways toted by American propaganda. Also, joy can be found in making other people's lives better, even if they aren't friends or family. Knowing that you've put something good into this world is never a bad feeling (unless you're a narcissist/sociopath). And 'be[ing] useful' should mean more than filling a generic position in a corporation, in order to make the wealthy elite, even richer than they already are. Cuz doing that is the same thing as renting a home instead of buying one. You're only contributing to someone else's dream, while never accomplishing your own, and also contributing to the issues of corporatized society. Be a unique mind, and think beyond the boundaries of what you've been told to think. And learn to be at least a little critical of the things that you're told. Just because the people that tell/told you things, are/were smarter than you, or even than most people, doesn't mean that they don't have biases, or even that they knew all they needed to know in order to claim their findings as 'factual'. So if you get even the slightest feeling that it's wrong, or doesn't quite sound right, then by all rights, you should look into it. Never devalue your own intelligence, that's what stupid people do (But also don't overestimate it, if you're not willing to put in the research, cuz it's even stupider people that do that). And share your unique wisdom and thought processes with those around you. This is the way to becoming a worthwhile part of society. I mean, we already have plenty of direct copies, fresh off the factory floor; trained, and educated to regurgitate political propaganda, and/or words from a 2000 year old book written by man. And those people have little to no value in our society. They will likely never accomplish anything unique, or do anything to even be remembered for. And most of what they say is just repetition of what we've already heard 1000 times over (Hence their favorite conversation type, is gossip).

    I think sometimes women harp on about hating men a bit like a closetted Catholic bangs on about how much he hates gays. Nina touches on this with her very insightful point about how our society promotes childlike psychology and behavior. I personally view the modern man-hating rhetoric through the lense of that assumption (amongst others). I read a quote from the Gottman Institute recently which said that beneath every criticism is a longing. The feminine instinctively longs for its highest expression, which includes surrender to the masculine that will make her feel deeply held, protected and loyally chosen. In our early childhood and teenage years we all experience varying degrees of rejection of those needs either from men (which makes us guarded towards the highest expression of the masculine), or from women (which makes us guarded towards the highest expression of the feminine) - or in most cases a combination of the two. If these wounds go unhealed, women become trapped in a bitter maiden archetype, whilst they desperately try to cover it up by appearing stronger than men, more powerful and grown up. Essentially trying to out-man men. In actual fact Freud's defense mechanism of reaction formation has taken place. Women fiercely defend an identity of hating that which they deeply desire - both in their own psyche and with a partner - which is functional integration of the masculine and feminine archetypes in their highest expression. This process keeps women trapped in a childlike way of relating, preventing them from maturing into partners who can make room for the masculine to offer its gifts to the world. A possible solution to healing this dynamic on an individual level is attachment therapy (Adam Lane Smith's episode has some great points on it!) Idk how we'd go about solving it on a population scale, and this is just my own theory of one of the contributing psychological factors to the whole #menaretrash moment we find ourselves in. But I really loved hearing a woman's perspective on this topic! It would be cool to have more female perspectives, or even a female co-host, for these kinds of discussions.

    Constant rejection doesn’t necessarily make someone stronger. It can make you more numb and less sensitive or it can draw you down. A balance of rejection and acceptance is necessary to form a positive trajectory but this balance is lacking for many now it seems. I also think that the proportion of women disliking men and vice versa is growing all the time.

    I grew up around the most violent thugs imaginable. I survived 15 years of horrifying violence. The a answer to almost all of life's problems is to give yourself the broadest possible worldview, and devote the rest of your life learning (backpacking around the world, sailing around the world, or relentlessly hiking, canoeing down rivers are very enjoyable ways to learn non stop). A broader worldview will give you more options, and a healthy disrespect for society's trends and beliefs... People who live a fulfilling life tend to live outside the mainstream... Best wishes all!

    I was riding on a bus the other day. 🚌 A young woman in a wheelchair ♿ was waiting at the bus stop for a ride. The driver lowered the special built ramp, to allow her easy access to the bus. A young man appeared beside her, "Need some help?" She berated him: "Leave me alone". So he backed off. So I thought: probably the young man wanted to help, needed to feel useful. Another man probably invented the wheelchair she used, another man invented the motorized wheel chair ramp on the ramp. Now that she has all that help, she's free to tell men who want to help her to bugger off. 😆 *Men invented the modern world, modern economy that allowed women unprecedented freedom and opportunity. I guess that frees up women, to tell men to bugger off.*

    @34 mins, Chris is far too young to perhaps know this but homosocial grouping such as men's clubs (Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge, Poker clubs, the list is endless) and women's clubs (knitting circles, quilting clubs, women's book clubs, the list is endless) provided a balance and a flavor to life. Notice that Chris immediately jumped to the idea that men together would usurp power and exclude women. That comment betrays the reality of his age but I wish Chris would spend more time talking to much older men and women. If he would talk with 70 year olds, for example, he'd expand his horizons. I'm 57 but I always gravitated to older people for conversation when I was younger because I wanted a view of the past that was 'real' rather than reading about it in a book. In my humble view, one of the problems with life in 2022 is that, as a society, we've given up the idea of "men's space" and "women's space." Men and women don't want to spend every minute together, it's nice to take a break and hang out with folks of the same gender. Nina alluded to this when she suggested that men might think of themselves as a "class of people: men." That was a profound comment that seemed to be lost on Chris.

    She is wrong about the "need" for communities of men to come together and support each other: they already exist. However, if one listens to the messaging, these spaces are constantly demonized as being bastions of toxic masculinity, and it is the constant lying about men and the spaces they inhabit that needs to stop. Look at the messaging around gyms for example. Men going to gyms are invariably described as roided up meatheads who are constantly perving on women and blathering bro-science about supplements and anatomy. Then there's the cherry on top of that crap sundae with the "pro-fat" people describing any pursuit of health and fitness as bordering on genocide. No gym I have been to fits that description. They have always been super friendly, supportive environments. Yes, there is the occasional douche, but that's life in any space.

The question must then be asked, if these men aren't bad people, but they are constantly told they are, at what point do they lose the resilience to be strong against that narrative and simply embrace it? Simply put: what responsibility does the media have to accept in actually fostering that psychopathic behavior? I think quite a lot of responsibility. The narrative is gaslighting some men into becoming the very thing they want to use as proof the that such men exist, and justify the argument that all men are capable of being that thing.

    The feminist initiatives have been actively seeking to destroy any institution or group that is a "boys club", even if those groups had no impact on the women at all. Anything that promotes healthy masculine interactions between men has massive negative stigmas associated with it. The funniest part is that first thing women do once they are able to gain access to those spaces, is interject sexuality and immediately tilt the men into competing with each other for their attention and ruin a lot of the cohesion that existed. They essentially destroy the "brotherhood" aspect of it. Of course no one on the left would ever admit that, despite it being a very basic understanding of human interpersonal dynamics.

    Chris, I'm binging on your podcast, excellent work you've done, and are doing - keep it up! I wanted to share my own experience as a woman who has done the asking first - which I don't mind doing at all, but after my experience I now have chosen to never do that asking first again. That initial "courtship" move sets the tone for the rest of the relationship. No matter how serious the feelings are, long term goals, core value alignment, talks of marriage, kids, etc. - for the 3 of the relationships where I 'made the first move', I was always the initiator for anything outside of sex - to go out on a date, to go somewhere, to do something, hiking, dancing, etc - even though the guy was active and motivated, and doing his own thing - it was always me who had to say 'let's do something special together'. I was never surprised, nothing was ever spontaneous, and I felt like I was dragging the relationship by the end. There was also never a real discussion about exclusivity or "making if official" (I'm millennial cusper who operates like gen x). I brought it up and it was a "whatever you want" answer - I was the dominant one, even though they were alpha male types. I may fall into the high IQ category where I also give the impression that I am super independent materially and emotionally and will ask for what I want and need, and will control my own schedule, therefore all the guys respected me and didn't want to interfere with my success and schedule - but it became exhausting as a woman, to always do the 'hunting'. Even when I stepped back for some time, there was a general holding pattern until either I ghost totally and he asks what's going on, to which I suggest (in many version) "I'm waiting on you" - and they respond, 'well you're busy, don't want to interfere' and throw back the choice onto me. So by me asking him(them) out, it set the precedent that I am always there, granted, and should I stray, they shrug and say, well that was fun - because there was that first impression of them never going to have the chance to be the provider. I firmly believe that females ought never to pursue - literally never - however they should know the art of flirt (as should men, but more so women because that's the way to keep a man long term, mystery, intrigue, etc to always activate novelty to trigger hunting instinct). If a female makes the first move, the man will then always fall back on the internal arguement, well she wanted me first I just went with it - so she gets what she asked for. This totally removes any responsibility or even need for investment, which is the only thing that will keep a male motivated long term, is how much he's invested into the relationship up front, since he doesn't have the female chemistry that creates long term bonds. PS - after 60, men cycle back into their 20's if they don't have a family or grandkids to teach or feel valued by (again, stimulating novelty) - that's why many older men also stray or get divorced, because chemically they never 'bonded' and instinctually their kids have survived long enough to reproducing age, and if there's no family business, there's zero attachment, because the initial investment has paid off.

    At roughly the 40min mark when the conversation with Jordan Peterson was brought up where he said the problem isn’t the women having too high expectations, it’s the men and their need to self improve my question is why can’t it be both? The 80/20 rule is a thing, which they themselves even acknowledged. Which means that even average women are part of that equation. I argue that they make up a majority of said equation. So even if men self improve, whether we do/don’t reach the level of the top 20 then our options will still be limited to what? The average women who didn’t want us when we were in the exact same position they currently still are? Men certainly need to self improve and should solely do so for ourselves, but a lot can certainly be said for the often absurd expectations levied against us. That’s not necessarily to say that women should lower their expectations per say, but to be realistic about what they can pull given whatever their circumstances are. More conversations need to be had regarding the clear lack of humility amongst today’s modern women. Social media and dating apps have all but eroded the humility once held by women.

    Self-improvement is a scam. I did it all. I got a STEM degree, I worked out for 10+ years, I had large circles of friends, I took care of my body. It was all for naught. The three things that matter to me is to have something to do, to hope for and to love. None of those things were achieved by being a part of the rat race. I now live as a parasite and play world of warcraft and feel more fullfilment than I ever did pretending to be a part of society.

    When men say "not all men", we're not trying to escape blame. We're trying to make people understand that it is indeed a very specific subset of men and that they're a threat to _everyone_ and we really don't know what to do about them. Men are taught to behave properly, by and large, with certain allowances for the kinds of risk-taking snd disagreeableness that are necessary for male success. The problem is that no set of rules or morals will ever be universally absorbed and practiced. Some men are simply broken in a way that cannot be fixed.

    100%. I have had so many discourses with women about this which always end in the same way. There seems to be a universal reluctance from liberal / feminist / woke women (a surprisingly large contingent in this day and age) to resign to the truth that most men are good, or at least, try to do good. The reality is, the average man is not a rapist or murderer, yet if you speak to these women, you'd believe that this was the case. Indeed, the protection of women from evil man has always historically fallen into the hands of good men. However, with the constant finger-pointing from women towards us that we are all, as a gender in totality, somehow to blame for the immoral actions of a few, I feel that many men have simply peaced-out from bothering to stand up for women and protect them at all. They've gotten tired of the blaming and chastising and have disengaged altogether. Why bother putting your neck out for someone who condemns you for things you'd never do? Which then puts women in an even tougher spot because many of the sort of men who'd be looking out for their safety in previous generations dgaf anymore and ignore the whole situation altogether.

    What you discussed at the end is quite profound. Suffering is kinda a big equilizer, if you will. Everyone, regardless of their sex, race, upbringing, economic status - everyone suffers and we all are equal in this aspect. So instead of victimizing ourselves or trying to win the suffering olympics by ranking certain "pains" we should come together in our painful experiences as humans. Everyone feels lonely, lost or broken at some point at that is a beautiful thing to connect over. If it is inevitable, then it must be a part of life and not something to avoid. If you cannot live without breathing: you must breathe - same concept I think. That's why I like to connect to others through their suffering, because no matter who they are, I can relate to some extend. I might be in a completely different walk in life, but still can understand what they might've been going through, that's unifying

    I feel like for as much common ground as they would have on some issues, Carl has essentially become a post-Liberal, or at least advocating for post-liberalism ideas and even if she saw that they were right, the problem with her addressing post-liberal ideas is that they are often more confronting than conservative ideas. Like, if you were to ask in regards to the issue of women struggling with raising a family or working, what a post liberal would say, I can guarantee that it wouldn't just be "Well, the women ought to stay home", it would be something more like "We should encourage women through special privilege's or economic incentives to get married, stay married, stay home and raise children for the good of society and themselves". The above sounds horribly sexist to a liberal, but to a post liberal it's more like - We are facing a demographic collapse and to forestall it instead of having children, we are engaging in a modern form of imperialism to suck talented people from poor nations and turn them into cab drivers and nurses here. In addition, the wellbeing of children needs to be paramount and we know that divorce and having a working mother limit childrens economic opportunity, educational obtainment and social development, or in some cases even leads to anti-social behavior, so all of this is just necessary if we don't want to have a collapsing society filled with dysfunctional criminals. This is basically where Carl is these days. Like I said, a lot of people would say it's sexist, but it's hardly that, if anything it's just applying the most obvious traditional solution to a modern malady. However it's almost impossible to have a conversation with a liberal about any of this since it throws their idea of progress into disarray. Succinctly - I don't think it'd be a productive conversation.

    Say what you want about Pick Up Artists. But when I was into that topic, it was not about "faking" being someone else, but always a way of "how to portray the best image of you". How to tell your experiences in an interesting and positive way. HOW to approach women and deal with anxiety of approaching them. It was shamed and the narrative was that people would become robots. But actually, I always thought it would help people getting more creative and playful in that field. If I would approach people with the only goal of getting the other persons number, than the fear of rejection is so much more intense and defeating if I dont get the number. But when I enter a conversation playful and for the joy of it, because I want to be the clown, the entertainer, whoever, then I can also have my own fun even without the "goal" that other people see, that have not tried it out. And as Im living in Germany and have lived several months in other countries (e.g. Peru and Brazil): The dating culture in Germany, US and Britain is SO MUCH more frustrating and put men at a disadvantage. In Brazil, it seems far more like a common interest between men and women. Actually, all friends that know about this were mindblown. You get approached as a guy. Your gestures and offers are appreciated (really, not just with a phrase but actual appreciation). While back home, it is taken for granted. There are other problems, don't get me wrong! But it saddens yourself to see, how unfair and unnecessary this whole thing has become. Another inside: Looks and portrayable status does matter. Goethe once wrote "Only the superficial is not superficial". I completely accept that a woman seeks a guy that can afford a family and is competent in raising one. However: In my experience, the girls are mostly the ones that have not cultivated skills that benefit this world view and the idea of shared responsibilities. I know more guys who have started cooking because they started going to the gym (=healthy nutrition) and are more decent cooks than most girls. They strive for good jobs, are more interested in financial oppurtunities and so many guys that I know do a top game in cleaning their own appartments. Now my question: If I have become an autonome and highly competent machine that is nice to look upon: Why do I need you? What can you possibly bring to the table? The more you argue, that everything should be equal and you don't want to "enslave" yourself, the more you demonise possible gestures of warmth that can create a home.

    @@fiveleavesleft6521 Religion, that's how. Over the past several years, after research and living through my own experiences, and interacting with a variety of people through all walks of life. I've just come to a realization that modern society is truly screwed if we continue to allow people to do whatever they want without the consequences of their actions, especially since we don't teach women accountability and responsibility for their own behavior. All morals and values have gone out the window, considering societies were based off some sort of religious values/belief systems, that's how societies were founded. There is a reason why religion helped to some degree to put a stop on the 'selfish gene' or instinctual behaviors which we still haven't been able to evolve from, women and men had to do their due part and make sacrifices/compromises for the sake of each other, their families and society in general. Now this push for individualism and consumerism in post modern countries has made people treat each other as objects/utilities. Many people have abandoned religion (I'm not religious myself) but I have understood now that at least religion brought in stability in other areas. It may have been at the expense of freedom and individuality. But everything comes at a cost..

    Her comment about how men should start viewing themselves as a class called "men" somewhat betrays her actual unfamiliarity with masculinity. Men don't see themselves naturally as part of any collective, particularly *influential men* do not see themselves that way. If anything, this is an inherently feminine viewpoint. It's likely also the reason why women are typically treated as a class by society rather than individuals, it's a case of cultural norms being dictated by innate sexual differences in how the genders conceptualize their state of being. Basically she's asking for something that's rather impossible. I don't see how that's supposed to help at all. Also, men being responsible for 95% of all violence is a joke, right? That's simply not true. The genders are actually much closer than this in terms of general violence, it's only at the extremes of violent activity that men dominate and likely this has to do with ability more than anything else.

    I actually suspect that male solidarity is being actively discouraged by both the left and the right, and society used to be able to cultivate it for the sake of prosperity. I mean, consider that feminist used to accuse men of being "male chauvinist pigs". Chauvinism basically means patriotism, which in the context of sex would translate to male favoritism or male solidarity. So many men (and women) today want to complain about how other men are pathetic, but they simultaneously want to absolve themselves of any responsibility to help other men improve.

    Those type of ideas only work if the societal framework rewards men for their self sacrifice and interjection. Society had harsh standards for men but it also rewarded them accordingly with control, respect and personal fulfillment. Those type of things only work with that unspoken collective agreement within a community that everyone innately understands. If Hypergamy is not controlled it will destabilize any community regardless of scale. Women act in completely instinctual manner regarding partner selection and rewarding stereotypical behaviors. Those things had a very necessary function in our ancestral past but now with technology make everything go completely off the rails. Controlling women's sexuality was the only way to temper male violence pre tech era. That's the entire reason organized religion functions so efficiently at producing cohesive large scale societies, both those controls are bounded within a set of rules that allow family units to flourish. It's not a coincidence the in third world countries or any time in our ancestral past, that the number of single, unpartnered and unhopeful men directly correlated with the level of instability and violence in those nations. Polygamy always leads to instability and female mate selection preference is a polygamous one by default.

    The question about men and violence can largely be answered be a quick background check on each man (who has committed such violence). I can guarantee that at least 90% of “these” men will have been raised only by their mothers, with little or again in most cases, zero male role model. Much of the social disaster we’re all suffering now, and certainly the reality that 80% of the prison population are men raised only by women, stems from the catastrophic and total breakdown as a result of women raising children on their own. Which they cannot. Women are disastrous at raising children on their own.
