>(* unless yourself is anything that happens to actually align with traditional masculinity, at which point you need to change).
Idk what kind of people you hang out with but this has never been my experience with the left lol. I’ve never seen them have an issue with masculinity in general — it’s only when it becomes toxic.
Nobody is telling traditionally masculine men that they need to change, they are telling them that they are now free to change

The way in which he frames the data or suggestions can come across as more right leaning

I’ve read this book and it’s not as nuanced as this post is making it seem. It gives off “mens rights” vibes and is right leaning

The issue is, yes there are objective parameters to classify a book, but books are art and art is almost wholly subjective.
There are very, very few objectively bad books. Plus, if someone else is enjoying it, what’s the point of ruining their experience?
