Masculinity Isn’t the Problem - The Definition Is

In this episode of Culture and Consequence, Andrea and I dive into the latest flare‑up around “toxic masculinity” — from Scott Galloway’s outdated framing to Dr. Mike’s defensive stumble online — and why the real issue isn’t men themselves, but the broken structure of what we’ve been taught masculinity is supposed to be. We talk about performance vs. authenticity, why vulnerability is strength, and how rigid gender expectations shape everything from politics to media to the way power is abused in this country.From the MAGA obsession with faux‑toughness to the collapse of journalistic institutions like 60 Minutes, we connect the dots between gender, ego, media capture, and the erosion of our moral core. And yes, we even detour into Ivanka Trump “discovering” an island — because of course we do.It’s messy, honest, funny, and very us.If this episode brought you a little joy, consider liking, subscribing, or sharing it with someone who might need it.As always, remember it really is All About The Joy.Thank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share.  You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth You can also support AATJ by shopping at our STORE - Or by and buying us a coffee. We'd appreciate that greatly.  Also, if you want to find us anywhere on social media, please check out the link in bio page.
