America enforced an ideal for men that they have to be impossibly strong, stupid, brutish, and horny.

It's only over the past 20 years that that started to break down, but large parts of the country are still infused with those values.

Everybody is acting so shocked because they lived in the nice parts of the country till now.

That's exactly it. The right is telling them they STILL have to be impossibly during stupid brutish and horny. That's basically what an "Alpha Male ™" is. Only the left has an escape for that toxic definition of masculinity, I'm frankly baffled at how we're losing the fight for boys and men. I've never seen the left fumble so badly. But there are a lot of great men on the left working HARD to fix that, so I have hope for the future
