Finally someone points out the obvious

The pressures that men face to be "successful" are immense and corrosive. From birth, they get all the wrong signals.

I'm sad to see the Guardian run such an unabashed straight-up mocking character assassination, It's not great journalism is it? No depth or analysis.

Where's the psychology? Where's the humanity?

Sure, the broligarchs are awful specimens, but maybe it's better to ask why the likes of Musk and Zuck are so insecure and so misguided in their ideas about what makes a good man.

Growing up is realizing nothing has changed fundamentally for humans as a species since the written word was recorded

Same reason feudal lords killed people back in the day with all sorts of rules there's no psychology or deeper layer other than power in beings living in a eugenic reality

First of all: this is not the guardian, this is a opinion piece.

And I think it is extremely funny and sadly kind of true.

There is extensive literature about the psychology of fragile men

It is funny.

And it is true.

But is not really helping.
