That, or if they insist on being agressive shits, enlighten them to the time honored tradition of punching nazis.
Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?

Be nice and respectful to them and masculinity. Like “It’s masculine to protect the oppressed”
Don’t belittle anyone for that matter, such as based on race, gender or religions, even if you’re upset at that grouping.

Real men wear cat ears, maid dresses, and share their gf with other men

Real men don’t restrict an entire gender to a singular expression of it

I think you can refocus the modern aggressive threatening behaviour of young men into either a physical or psychological aspect of masculinity that celebrates being respected and admired for the safety projected by them. A ‘real man’ is someone who makes sure everyone is heard, everyone is safe, everyone can rely upon, and that no one can get away with shit around. They should be beacons of safety, strength of character, and patience. I believe our ancestors gained this by survival, team bonding through necessity and respect for the danger of nature. Humility needs to come back in a big way.

Exactly. Men want to feel important as well. I think taking away masculinity has led us to this dangerous place.
