LoL, this guy is "truly afraid of the world right now for young men and the charlatans trying to lure them into misogynistic bullshit."
He's about 100% to get his sons gutted from misandrism, caught completely unaware.
@Stigma Tolkien loved our anglo saxon roots, he loved the lore of the Germanic peoples. He makes nothing new, he just breathes fantasy into the old. The archetypes have been there since the dawn of our people, are there in fact in all the sons of the Yamnaya. These things are easy to love and easy to reach for. Young men need only be encouraged to dream.
LOTR films because that’s where it all peaked twenty years ago.
Critical Drinker had a video about how it all peaked with LOTR. he was right.
@Typo-MAGAshiv LOTR captures just about every positive archetype a man could hope to live by, I reckon.
The one that stands out most is Aragorn. He has to overcome the legacy of Isildur and his forefathers. The throne of Gondor isn’t just given to him as a matter of lineage, he sets out on his own journey to claim his name and future. Perhaps just as poignant is his relationship with Arwen. She chooses to stay in Middle-Earth instead of returning to Valinor. This in itself is a distraction and trial presented to Aragorn - but is prompted by Galadriel that he has his own path to follow regardless of Arwen. Of course! It’s so self-evident! But the Disneyfication of archetypes and journeys to manhood would have Aragorn playing captain save-a-hoe instead of reclaiming Gondor for his own!
…I digress, it really begins and ends with LOTR and if people insist on having their children learn from media it may as well be the LOTR films because that’s where it all peaked twenty years ago.

@Stigma what little I browsed (I just don't want to slog through that entire thing) was a bunch of movies I've never seen, but then a few mentions of LOTR.
I have to admit that LOTR does have many examples of healthy, positive masculinity, and also shows the men being treated with the respect due to someone who sacrifices as they do.
Most of what I gather as being thought of as "healthy masculinity" in that comments section is just sacrificing for others and getting absolutely nothing out of it. "Setting yourself on fire to keep others warm" as Rollo would say.

@Typo-MAGAshiv I should have shouldn't I
I think it was obvious enough tho and didn't offer extra value (or warning about satire)
@Stigma I looked at some and I dont know almost any title, some of those I have seen years ago and cant remember what male roles were like, not even LOTR.
LATELY I have watched some mediaeval series hoping for some good shit and watched a shit show spectacle from BBC of strong independent women and fucked up men called: "the pillars of earth".
Let me rephrase as my meme can be misleading - women joining workforce didn't change wages in most of the areas, but inflation was eating into the wages¹.
Women not affecting the labour numbers much in eg trades or STEM made the employees scarce and wages|prices would go up² in time. Hence affecting them in a positive way.
Asking from my point of interest (getting after hours trade training).
Is it manual trades you're talking about, and one of the trades that is heavily involved in construction (mostly commercial) and essential maintenance (private and commercial) simultaneously (like electrician or plumber) (eg bricky I would not consider as such as this is more construction and upgrades rather than an essential maintenance).
¹first notable shrinkflation that went kind of unnoticed
²I dont know did they go up enough, comparing to '60
