Scott Galloway Crushes the Anti-Trans People 

Exactly, it's the opposite of being insecure

This person gets it.

Something my sister pointed out to me... the phrase "toxic masculinity" gets misused by writers so damn much and it sounds like an attack on men. A way of pointing at them and saying "you, you're the problem". But the actual full phrase is something like "the toxic expectations and pressures of masculinity on men"... and it's one of those things that really changes the whole meaning, it's actually something men are a victim of, it's about helping free men from these angry, repressed pigeonholes that we get put in.

@@django3422 - so nice to see someone who knows a it about this subject. I am a humanities researcher (doing a PhD in English lit ), and I am looking at how certain female writers explored what we would call toxic masculinity after the first world war. One writer in particular seems very clued up about, not just how oppressive the constraints of femininity had been for her parents' generation but also how ideals of masculinity harmed men.

People who usually are transphobic, does not understand that you can have several gender identities. They confuse gender with sex. Yes gender can be used to EXPLAIN sex, but its not an absolute term. It simply works like that, because we understand it to mean that. But it doesnt mean that gender means ONLY DISTINCTION OF SEX, and nothing else.

True. Love the one where they say domestic terrorism is more from the left while it's over 90% from the rt wing. Facts don't have no play with them

I mentioned that in the comments for the original episode from which this was taken. There's nothing even remotely close. I am sick of hearing people perpetuate that myth.

@@FleurPillager LOL. What's the color of the sky in your world

@@whyamimrpink78 wrong

Have you heard of Stalin? Mao? Khmer Rouge? You are the same.

Yes, I am getting so tired of the both sides throw out statement that never has any example in reality.

Agreed. False equivalence.

Great point 👍

Agreed. I wonder if he meant strength in general (mental, emotional, and physical) and used the physical aspect as his example because they were discussing young people. Previously, I think, he’d been talking about younger guys reaching out to him bc they were offended. I hope that is what happened. A person can be strong in so many ways :)

Agree. Back in the day both parties adhered to the authority of the white male patriarchy. You knew which lane to stay in and you did that with no arguments allowed. Now people (rightly) understand switching lanes is possible and one party is very loud in trying to put on the brakes.

74 million people voted for trump. With that kind of number, it begs the question, What is America? He represents the worst in humanity and 74 m are with him

In his defense, he maybe only hears the BS on line or now and again, but those of us constantly being subjected to the division in our families or communities, it's past the point of reason.

Never more divided, 1861 would like a word. I don't see where you think "stomping" is going to get us screaming at people and calling them Nazis will just make them entrench themselves more. Any changes will have to be induced from subtle techniques and influences maybe even from Trumpism destroying itself through its own contradictions. I already see a the Trump spell being broken in some. This Fall's election lit a small flame of hope.

Yeh. And what I want to understand is his obsession with masculine/feminine duality. Why is it important to preserve that? It's not a huge leap to get beyond mind and matter, nature and nurture, and he's so comfortable to say we are all Americans -- yet we can't be all JUST HUMANS. Class-blindness, color-blindness are so convenient for the affluent to maintain, and it's so convenient for the gender that has socio-economic advantages . . . so boring. Yawn.

Yeah he’d be great. Another money grubbing politician.

Yeah hes great

@Tim DaHuman - nah, Scott Galloway isn’t saying we should force women into monogamy to fix the problems that lonely men have (which is shit that Peterson says). Peterson is waaaayyy more into the victim narrative of how difficult it’s been for men; how women in the workplace are too distracting; not to mention, Peterson is 100% anti-trans people. I can’t believe you think Peterson and Galloway have much in common at all.

Thank you for your work. For equality to happen we need to be able to empathize equally.

​@@WanderingExistence The work was its own reward. I miss it very much. I know that sound terrible to some people. I didn't enjoy the pain I saw. I just am always aware it's out there, and I felt better spending time addressing it. I hope men don't think all women are unaware they hurt too. Most people of both genders are unaware of how much we leave in the shadows. Men don't face domestic violence as often as women. The problem with addressing it is about money. It's not about gender. When we starve social services and charitable institutions, they can only address the biggest few issues. Raise awareness of domestic violence in general, and that there is not enough to address the problem of women who are abused and nothing for the men who are abused. It's heartbreaking, and weirdly exactly where I want to be. My son is in college and active in local politics. Even if you average 1 evening a month addressing the things on your mind with local committees, you can help. It shocked me, and I regretted that I was 37 before I knew I had some time, enough to make a difference, all along. Take care!

No, Toxic masculinity does not exist. Toxic behavior is not exclusive to men. Toxic behavior is using your power or position to hurt or put down/keep down others. It may be more common in men because men tend to hold more and greater positions of power but it is by no means a masculinity thing.

@@brassman7599 We are talking about men and it is specific to men.. "Toxic masculinity is a set of certain male behaviors associated with harm to society and men themselves. Traditional stereotypes of men as socially dominant ..."

@Grant Kirtz Do you have real world examples?

@Grant Kirtz Like some mundane thing that was done by a man that was labeled by others as toxic.

@@brassman7599 "Toxic expectations and pressures of masculinity on men". It does exist and it's not something we're guilty of so much as it's something we're victims of.

Insecurity, stupidity and religion pushing their ways on everyone is a powerful force

We went from closet homosexuality ,to promoting it like a holiday or mouthwash. Pins,buttons, parades, t shirts, flags. Ok, whether it be trans or gay, I won't say what I believe is right or wrong. But why do people have to tell the whole world their sexual preference, and try so hard to sell the idea and convince everybody its as normal as Apple pie?. Why not just shut up snd do it, and stop trying to market it like cocaine....

Well ,as long as you really believe that. I just hope I don't live long enough to see people having sex with children or farm animals. Because now that a percentage of society not only thinks it's ok to remove your sexual parts from your body that God created you as ,and trade them like baseball cards ,we also have accepted gay marriage and sexual relationships between two same sex people. It sick as what that sounds like , the children and farm animals. Thats how a percentage if people feel about the other. Some people believe gay people, or removing your pens and trading it for a vagina is abnormal.

@Mountain Hacker Yeah, they should apply for tax exempt status....

I'm also in a fortunate position compared to other men my age. I'm 37 and got a lucky deal on a house. I'm finally making good wages after years of struggling in my field. I see other folks in a really tough spot that work won't get you out of. I want to move out of state possibly but I'll never get housing as affordable as I have know and once ou take the equity, it's gone.

I would really love to know how he "Crushes the Anti-Trans People" which is really just people who will admit that there are only two biological genders. David using dishonest clickbait. Imagine my shock.

How will the situation be improved by attacking trans athletes and destitute immigrants?

Thats the problem. We have all been priced out of the market by Reaganomics

@@jerrygerard5464 your point is feeble even by your standards

Cooking, baking, etc. should be required classes nowadays. Men shouldn't expect that all those things will be taken care of by women for them. Even if they are in a relationship, this economy requires 2 income households unless one person nabbed an insanely good paying job and so the days of women taking care of most of the household chores are over or at least they should be.

@@Cancellator5000 - when I was at school in the 70's the guys did cooking and the girls did wood working - but only up until age 13-14 - then it was optional and I only remember one boy doing Home Economics - because he wanted to be a chef. He was given some jip for this but only light heartedly. Everyone needs to learn how to cook, shop for healthy food, manage a home etc - as well as understanding banking and basic politics.

@XerShade - my partner of 30 years was an only child and learnt to cook with his mum. Both my brothers can cook, bake, and sew - one of my brothers is a car mechanic - so not exactly a wimp - and he wants a copy of Mrs Beeton's book for Xmas (she was a Victorian cookery writer - although it has recently come to light that her husband was the actual cook) By narrowing what it means to be a man or a woman to clearly defined parameters we limit our experiences as human beings.

@@Cancellator5000 In the Netherlands I went to a technical school and in the basic lessons there was also lessons about cooking, I loved these classes.

I heard that Bobby Flay wanted an Easy-Bake even for Christmas one year when he was quite young. His father didn't like that notion, thinking his son should get a G.I. Joe instead. A compromise was reached and Flay got both!

I get what you mean, but I doubt that if you encounter someone like Scott Galloway in a bar or elsewhere what transpires is “I could kill you, but I’m going to talk” or that you should listen to him “or else”. What he’s saying I think is precisely that he rather prefers using his mind, analyzing, empathizing and being compassionate.

I think that some of this is your own interpretation, rather than a dark reflection. Saying it's about "listen to me or else" is presuming the intention of the individual. If I'm trying to de-escalate a potentially violent situation there's a good chance that I'm dealing with someone really in the mindset to listen to reason right now. So some of that de-escalation is physical, such as how I position myself between them and their intended target, how I hold myself to appear in their eyes etc. I'm not thinking "listen to me or else". I'm thinking and trying to project this idea that "I'm not just gonna let you do this". And I think it works a lot of the time, because it forces them to start reasoning in their head. That suddenly what seemed like easy pickings is now going to be hard, it's not what they wanted at all. Before, when they were too angry and too sure of their own capabilities, they wouldn't listen. Now they're re-assessing their capabilities and that's sapping their anger. Now they're starting to calm down because they WANT to find a way out of this. You could argue that the end result is the same. Maybe that's true. But rather than me putting myself out there with an intent of "I could kill you so listen to me or else" I'm trying to do so with the intent of "I will protect and I won't let you push people around". In an ideal world, none of it would be necessary. But we don't. My town has a big problem with unpredictable, aggressive and often violent skagheads. I've interceded more than a dozen times in situations they've created but I've never once actually had to fight them. So my experience is that it's both needed and that it works.

I know, it’s so annoying as it is not in the least bit hard to understand.

@@jujutrini8412 Tru they act like people hate masculine and toxic masculinity is just regular masculinity they are so slow Dave should have corrected it

Obviously youre the one who cant comprehend this level of intelligence. Your loss.

@@terrifrances6290 tell me what I don't get

Yeah, that was probably the one area where I disagreed with this guest. I think "toxic masculinity" does exist, but that doesn't mean all masculinity is inherently toxic or negative. I think he made a great point about how de-escalating a bar fight is one of the best/most constructive expressions of masculinity. If you wanted to directly contrast that with toxic masculinity--it would be the person who seeks out and starts a bar fight just to prove something to friends and/or a romantic interest.

@@GeoGuy388I don’t think he said toxic masculinity doesn’t exist, rather more or less what you’re saying.

@@GeoGuy388 I formulated my own definition of “toxic masculinity” to mean someone who believes initiating violence makes someone manly…and I came up with that definition after someone at a bar challenged me to a fight simply because he believed “fighting makes you a man”…the example you gave of toxic masculinity really resonates with me

Cinema Theraphy is brilliant!

Pink was manly before

Didn't expect a Duran Duran reference on this video lol. Gotta put em on now 😁

It was a dreadful title, that completely misrepresented what Scott Galloway had to say.

Not defending criminal men but women get a pass a lot of times cops overlook criminal females a lot my exwife would be serving life in prison if she was a male but she's a white female they finally gave her 5 years in prison after an home invasion outta state lol but before that she stole cars sold drugs u name it slap on the wrist if they didn't just let her go at the seen

I’d say that in the particular case you’re citing, what you might be missing has to do with men always having filled those roles, in a tradition (the judaic as well as the judeo-christian) which is patriarcal.

Men feel adrift in modern American society for a wide variety of reasons, I believe the most prevalent reason is that men see women being supported and encouraged in so many ways yet they themselves are treated as expendable and told to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". Men are expected to literally sacrifice their bodies and have their spirits broken in the pursuit of success so that they can provide for families that often still tell them they're not doing enough. Society in general, at every turn tell men if they're not at the top they're not doing enough, and if they ARE at the top society does everything it can to knock them down. A man without power is worthless and a man with power is a target. No man ever feels safe or secure in his life, it's a constant struggle for rare shreds of validation and the occasional glimmer of hope the his struggles mean something.

So, in the past when all of these institutions were mainly run by men what was the so-called harm to girls/females and why are men so concerned about it now when things are changing somewhat the other way? You are now advocating for balance did you ever think about before? Nothing has ever been in balance. But because men dominated everything before no one gave a crap about how girls were being treated and conditioned. Please put the blame where it belongs firmly in the men's court.

You got it in ONE. WHY???

The pay is too low for men to bother
