He Reveals What 1950s "Real" Men Thought & Felt & Did & Didn't Do. An Ordinary Man Speaks His Truth

He gets to the key words early on: easily satisfied.

I think you'd benefit greatly by listening to this. This is what most men pre-boomer were like.

Toney’s commitment came into question behind the scenes during his rookie year, from lack of playbook study to poor meeting behavior to frequent injuries.

this guy's trying to sell

this guy's trying to sell getting back "the limelight" (as Bump notes, with questionable info.)

The testicle-tanning thing is a great bit of marketing. But don't overlook the point of Carlson's shows — undercutting expertise — or that the trailer's featured expert on the purported decline of testosterone is RFK Jr. https://t.co/D6zqjiAcZJ

but to who? there's the rub....a reminder that his demographic is aged and small in the scheme of things these days, if "libruls" weren't doing all the P.R. for his memes by countering them with daily outrage, he'd be preaching to same 2.8 million mostly retirement-age people at night, if lucky (some of his current audience might get bored if liberals weren't expressing outrage about him all the time?)

Even with a major war ongoing, the continued disappearance of MSNBC and CNN's audience is extreme and rapid. The number of viewers under 55 watching MSBNC's prime-time shows is barely 100k or less. These are mid-level YouTube numbers. pic.twitter.com/agrrwSLTe5

certainly not many younger guys of "working age", ask the advertisers, they know that....

Just not getting where men have supposedly gone, how balance of exploited & in control is different from most ages, etc. Men had to self-promote walking the city for a job in 1880. It's easier now... As 1 item...

One thing I will say: the society in 2022 is generally leaving men alone. That's a whole lot better than trying to correct and transform them. It did try to do that but appears to have given up. There's actually an opportunity in that for real freedom.

When it comes back for them, it may have a clearer idea of what it wants of them. And if society never comes back for them, there's the opportunity of a lifetime to just be themselves.

In a society that requires people to constantly sell themselves, that can appear like the end, but most of humanity in history lived off the grid, so to speak: farming, cultivating the earth, working the jobs that keep civilization running. In medieval Europe, that concept was common sense, but individualism has people seeing themselves as commodities for sale and if they're not on the table, well then, that's the end.

The limelight is not necessary.

In the medieval world, you had Don Quixote types who wanted to return to Knights of Old. Whole swaths of European history had female rule. It's new in the American experience but the American experience is artificial and tells us little about the human condition.

I don't know if this is

I wish I could find the survey from like 12 years ago where they asked Republicans and Democrats what the "measure of a man" is

Reps replied with things like "size of your truck" and "how many guns you own"

Dems replied with things like "empathy" and "contributions to society"

I thought of this thread upon seeing the below. (That is all.)

For inveterate researchers, release of 1950 census is illuminating. 20-year-old Stephen Sondheim was then living with his mother on Park Ave after graduating @WilliamsCollege. His answers to questions:
Did he work in last week? No
Is he looking for work? No
Does he have a job? No pic.twitter.com/78zGZ20EuK
