Terry Gross is the host of “Fresh Air” on NPR. As I was running errands the other day, I listened to her interview with Helen Lewis, who writes about masculinism in a recent Atlantic article titled, “The Men Who Want Women to be Quiet.” It was really eye-opening.
Lewis explains that masculinism is the idea “that men should be in charge.” It represents a reordering of society in which men’s biology and associated hormones “mean that they’re more suited for government.” Just another word for patriarchy, you say? Not exactly. Rather, it is a political ideology that is the “intellectual underpinning”of the MAGA movement and the subsequent series of policy proposals that flow from it.
Lewis may be onto something. It makes logical sense that masculinism drives various Trump 2.0 era policies that have stymied the transition to renewables.
