Scott Galloway Crushes the Anti-Trans People

[@marvintpandroid2213]

Masculinity is not antithetical to femininity, strong men are pro others, no matter where that otherness comes from.

Exactly, it's the opposite of being insecure

[@django3422]

Something my sister pointed out to me... the phrase "toxic masculinity" gets misused by writers so damn much and it sounds like an attack on men. A way of pointing at them and saying "you, you're the problem". But the actual full phrase is something like "the toxic expectations and pressures of masculinity on men"... and it's one of those things that really changes the whole meaning, it's actually something men are a victim of, it's about helping free men from these angry, repressed pigeonholes that we get put in.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@@django3422 - so nice to see someone who knows a it about this subject. I am a humanities researcher (doing a PhD in English lit ), and I am looking at how certain female writers explored what we would call toxic masculinity after the first world war. One writer in particular seems very clued up about, not just how oppressive the constraints of femininity had been for her parents' generation but also how ideals of masculinity harmed men.

[@hajkie]

People who usually are transphobic, does not understand that you can have several gender identities. They confuse gender with sex. Yes gender can be used to EXPLAIN sex, but its not an absolute term. It simply works like that, because we understand it to mean that. But it doesnt mean that gender means ONLY DISTINCTION OF SEX, and nothing else.

[@as_yet_unwritten]

Agreed. I wonder if he meant strength in general (mental, emotional, and physical) and used the physical aspect as his example because they were discussing young people. Previously, I think, he’d been talking about younger guys reaching out to him bc they were offended. I hope that is what happened. A person can be strong in so many ways :)

[@jainthorne4136]

It's always interesting to me when people talk about the far right and the far left as if they are equivalent. In America the far right is roughly 60% of republican voters while the so-called far left is barely 5% of the Democratic party. I say "so-called" because in Europe our far left would barely even qualify as progressive. They are only progressive in comparison to the neanderthals of the far right. I would love to see the GOP disappear and the Democratic party split in half. Right now the mainstream Democrats are basically what the republicans were in the 1970's. I know it won't happen and our best hope is to simply outnumber and out vote the far right. Still it would be lovely to have two parties actually working to address our very real problems. The GOP is gearing up to obstruct and "investigate" and do absolutely nothing. We need to find ways to work around them and move forward.

[@jdice6868]

When I worked with a woman's advocacy group assisting victims of assault and domestic violence I raised extra funds for a project to expand the advocacy to men. It is unfortunate that men who are the victims of domestic abuse have nowhere to go. If they are abused by a female partner, they often feel shamed by others. If they are abused by a male partner, they feel they are shamed for different reasons. Women in shelters may be put at risk if they open the shelters to men, not to mention the discomfort felt by women who are escaping the men in their lives. I became ill and had to leave my group, but refused to do so until enough funds were raised to see the project was well underway. A shelter is not financially prudent as it would sometimes be empty. Men need somewhere to go, but the need is far less frequent. However, a network of volunteers has been created to keep a spare room open should the need arise. I hope that more people in victim advocacy groups and social services respond to this need. I am unapologetically feminist, which means I want equality, bodily autonomy, and respect from men and women. I also want to help the men in our lives to be offered assistance when they need it as well and to feel respected when they do.

[@WanderingExistence]

Thank you for your work. For equality to happen we need to be able to empathize equally.

[@jdice6868]

​@@WanderingExistence The work was its own reward. I miss it very much. I know that sound terrible to some people. I didn't enjoy the pain I saw. I just am always aware it's out there, and I felt better spending time addressing it. I hope men don't think all women are unaware they hurt too. Most people of both genders are unaware of how much we leave in the shadows. Men don't face domestic violence as often as women. The problem with addressing it is about money. It's not about gender. When we starve social services and charitable institutions, they can only address the biggest few issues. Raise awareness of domestic violence in general, and that there is not enough to address the problem of women who are abused and nothing for the men who are abused. It's heartbreaking, and weirdly exactly where I want to be. My son is in college and active in local politics. Even if you average 1 evening a month addressing the things on your mind with local committees, you can help. It shocked me, and I regretted that I was 37 before I knew I had some time, enough to make a difference, all along. Take care!

I'm not going to lie. I found what this guy said, especially around the idea of "we are all Americans" to be rather naïve. We have never been more divided and to compare how unified we were in WW2 to where we are now is childish to say the least. There are some "Americans" literally trying to take away the rights of other "Americans". I think it's VERY appropriate to be concerned about this, in a manner far more associated with stomping them out then unifying with them. Because If they succeed, ill be moving out of this country, and you wont be able to call me an American anymore.

I’ve watched Scott come onto other shows recently and am glad to see him here. As a 32yo man he speaks directly to so many of my concerns. In a nutshell finally getting to a debt free position and an income of 65k a year I’m still finding myself priced out of housing and rent if I were to go for a 1br apartment. By priced out I mean rent would be at least 40% of my take home pay each month making it incredibly difficult to save 20% for a down payment on a house. I know I’m better off than many guys my age but the generation before me would have been living comfortably on my income. To even get in this position I worked multiple jobs for 2 years and moved back to my parents house for most of my 30th year.

Never heard of Scott Galloway but dang. I like what he has to say. The other interesting thing about his takes on the social issues is that it is better than 90% aligned with the things that Jordan Peterson says yet for some reason the left despises Peterson. I find that very interesting. Without knowing Mr. Galloway's political affiliation I would have guessed he was a left leaning conservative and would have bet money on it. His logic seems very sound and the things he is saying (at least in this video) are very close to the way I see things and I am for sure a middle of the road conservative leaning person. The real problem I am seeing with the world is that people like Mr. Galloway are silenced because they do not appeal to the mob/extremist narrative so he would be called a RHINO if he was Republican and a DINO if he was a Democrat. I have always argued that his positions are the positions of most people in this nation. What I would call the true silent majority. Add the fact that he seems to present with a fantastic temperament and ability to speak matter-of-factly it makes for a tremendous opportunity to have a reasonable conversation. One that is generally not expressed on this channel. David Pakman's condescension and arrogance is off putting which is a shame because I feel that he does posses a level of intellect that could be helpful. However the same applies to the conservative speakers I also listen too. Even when I agree with their sentiment I am just so put off by the dismissive attitude and any sort of ability to recognize when their counter parts actually do something good.

I used to get made fun of all the time for taking "girly classes" by the male students in my class. For some odd reason though the girls were more interested in talking to me than the boys who thought all those life skills classes were beneath them. Also one time I snapped when the jocks were making fun of me and said: "Yeah well I'm one of two guys in a class of thirty students." not my best moment but for some other odd reason the jocks shut up REAL fast when they read in between the lines there... So yeah I sucked at sports and all of the "male" classes of the late 90's early 2000's, but "female" classes I took helped out a lot more then kicking a ball down a field, an activity I was never going to do again outside school...

[@Cancellator5000]

Cooking, baking, etc. should be required classes nowadays. Men shouldn't expect that all those things will be taken care of by women for them.

But then again, I don’t even know what he means by “far left”. If wanting everyone to have healthcare is that, then I’m definitely far left.

Its a weird feeling that I agree with some of what he's saying, but I would say that its still too "toxic" for me. I don't need do have big dick energy or think about how I could murder someone. Those are actually the antithesis of celebrating masculinity & feminity as something for everyone. Yes, its better & more impressive to be able to deescalate a heated situation, but if part of that if making sure everyone there knows you can kick the shit out of them, you're starting with a basis of "I could kill you, but I'm going to talk" but its always important to be aware of the unspoken parts of what we think & say, & the dark reflection of being a tough guy is that you're suggesting they should listen to you "or else" as opposed to using your mind to be able to analyze, empathize & be compassionate when finding solutions. Its interesting to me how even the better men still can't really let go of being toxic.

I get what you mean, but I doubt that if you encounter someone like Scott Galloway in a bar or elsewhere what transpires is “I could kill you, but I’m going to talk” or that you should listen to him “or else”. What he’s saying I think is precisely that he rather prefers using his mind, analyzing, empathizing and being compassionate.

[@django3422]

I think that some of this is your own interpretation, rather than a dark reflection. Saying it's about "listen to me or else" is presuming the intention of the individual. If I'm trying to de-escalate a potentially violent situation there's a good chance that I'm dealing with someone really in the mindset to listen to reason right now. So some of that de-escalation is physical, such as how I position myself between them and their intended target, how I hold myself to appear in their eyes etc. I'm not thinking "listen to me or else". I'm thinking and trying to project this idea that "I'm not just gonna let you do this". And I think it works a lot of the time, because it forces them to start reasoning in their head. That suddenly what seemed like easy pickings is now going to be hard, it's not what they wanted at all. Before, when they were too angry and too sure of their own capabilities, they wouldn't listen. Now they're re-assessing their capabilities and that's sapping their anger. Now they're starting to calm down because they WANT to find a way out of this. You could argue that the end result is the same. Maybe that's true. But rather than me putting myself out there with an intent of "I could kill you so listen to me or else" I'm trying to do so with the intent of "I will protect and I won't let you push people around". In an ideal world, none of it would be necessary. But we don't. My town has a big problem with unpredictable, aggressive and often violent skagheads. I've interceded more than a dozen times in situations they've created but I've never once actually had to fight them. So my experience is that it's both needed and that it works.

Well, that was kind of misleading, David. You're not resorting to clickbait clip titles, are you? The only thing Scott said about trans issues was that these were "honest conversations we should have." He is certainly right about that, but the only people preventing honest conversation about trans issues are the "trans rights" activists, who hysterically label any questioning of child transition, or trans women in sports as "transphobia," and bigotry. They've managed to persuade their "woke-ist" allies in media and government that any attempt to counsel a gender confused child is "conversion therapy," when in fact, counseling is what these supposedly trans youth need more than anything, and some of their parents obviously do, too. So that "honest conversation that needs to be had" is being actively prevented by transactivists, while the physical and mental health of teens and preteens is being risked and often ruined with the drugs and surgeries of "gender affirmation." Liberal opinion leaders really need to wake up and speak up to this travesty, as a few, like Bill Maher, and Joe Rogan have. And speaking of maturity, why the hell are the "naughty" words being bleeped? They just words, for fuck's sake. 😁

@Tim DaHuman -- I like David -- I think he's one of the best at what he does, but I think you're right. I'm sure he's seen what's happened to others who publicly question the LGBT activists' "trans kids" dogma. It might indeed cause him to lose followers, even just questioning the dogma, much less criticizing it, or even interviewing its critics. And there are plenty of educated, articulate critics, who can't just be written off as "right wing" or "transphobic." He should interview Helen Joyce, and/or Deborah Soh, and/or any of several others who have done the work and wound up opposed to the current "gender" hysteria. I am opposed, and I *am* a trans woman. I stop short of accusing them of cowardice when progressive opinion leaders don't extend any skepticism toward the gender fanaticism, because there's an element of self-preservation in there. But it seems a desire to be ultimately in the right would overide the fear of openly questioning the ideology and its related practices.

The rate of male college graduates compared to female ones doesn’t mean men used to be more motivated; it really shows how much more capable women are, especially when they’re encouraged to really go out and prove themselves. Rising tuition, and general lack of career opportunity is much more likely to stop men from going to college. Also, men feel more capable without a degree (not that they are), but women feel much more of a need to be educated to function even in our ‘progressive’ society. Also women are generally higher IQ, so that could be a very basic explanation to all of that 😂 The manliest thing you can do is break up a fight, I don’t think there’s really a bigger display of dominance 💪💪💪

Just think about how you'd feel, just trying to live your life, and for some reason this @sshole hates you so much they actually want you dead.The biggest haters seem to be the deepest in the closet and filled to the brim with self loathing.

We went from closet homosexuality ,to promoting it like a holiday or mouthwash. Pins,buttons, parades, t shirts, flags. Ok, whether it be trans or gay, I won't say what I believe is right or wrong. But why do people have to tell the whole world their sexual preference, and try so hard to sell the idea and convince everybody its as normal as Apple pie?. Why not just shut up snd do it, and stop trying to market it like cocaine....

[@junkyard-p1s]

Well ,as long as you really believe that. I just hope I don't live long enough to see people having sex with children or farm animals. Because now that a percentage of society not only thinks it's ok to remove your sexual parts from your body that God created you as ,and trade them like baseball cards ,we also have accepted gay marriage and sexual relationships between two same sex people. It sick as what that sounds like , the children and farm animals. Thats how a percentage if people feel about the other. Some people believe gay people, or removing your pens and trading it for a vagina is abnormal.

Can we please get some likes for changing the title of this video? Seriously, I understand that certain things get clicks, but this is a fucking phenomenal interview and that title is not going to allow it to reach the people who need it the most. Seriously, this could go viral it's so good. But that title is honestly garbage and it will stop thousands of people from clicking the video. I'm 100% on the side of trans people, it's just not a title that reflects the depth and gravity of the interview. This is literally our version of "owning the libs" and I have higher standards and expectations for David's show, frankly. Let's not turn into that KZbin channel. Edit. It's also worth noting, based on what he said in this very interview, Scott himself would probably be disappointed in this title. Calling it bullshit likely.

[@krimmer66]

An honest conversation about trans in sport would be good because people are ignoring that some trans men are ranking in the top 5 in men's sports and it's been made clear that there are more men in sports which is part of the reason trans women rank slightly higher in women's sports! Not all trans women are winning in every sport. So are men gonna start crying when a trans man finally wins in a male sport?

[@ksbrook1430]

A mother here. I've been concerned with the lower numbers of young men taking on leadership roles in the schools for decades. It is great that young women are empowered to take on the roles, but I have noticed that the balance is tipped. It would be good to see the numbers equalized.

The pay is too low for men to bother

[@voidpunkprincess]

I was never taught how to even express my own happiness. How can we expect men to realistically succeed in society and find fulfillment in a family when they aren't even encouraged to socialize and express their feelings in society or their family in a positive way. The example you gave of this boy in the basement playing video games is not surprising at all. What does he *get out of* being ambitious? Boys aren't taught and encouraged to socialize or express themselves and when they enter into society we wonder why they find no fulfillment. There are some studies talking about how men are finding it harder to get into relationships these days when they hold less social leverage these days and women generally want someone that is actually emotionally there for them and not just a brick wall.

[@WanderingExistence]

This hits home. I was sexually abused as a child and now find relationships hard to manage. The expression of love is something that I need for my basic human fulfillment but It's hard for me to find and maintain a healthy relationship, so I feel unfulfilled at my core. Due to my abuse as a child I have psychosomatic responses where I feel negative emotions as physical pain... That coupled with the hopelessness of not being able to find an expressive relationship causes me to feel isolated and depressed. The hopelessness and psychosomatic pain has been so crippling that I can't maintain a schedule for work- because what's the point- so I'm also out of work. Sitting at home I often just use drugs to cover up the pain for a short while. I love my family, but sometimes I feel like I'm only living so they don't get sad about my suicide. I'm left with feelings of empty nihilism- I'm an existential nihilist who believes you must create meaning; but I don't know what meanings to cultivate. I feel lost, as many other males my age do. What else am I supposed to think of myself except that I'm a loser? I hope it's okay that I just spilled my guts, it's taken me a long time to be cognizant of all these different aspects of my condition. Thank you for listening.

[@voidpunkprincess]

The end of this interview has me shook. That was a startling admission.

[@jaidev777]

This is one of the very few people who is able to do both things at once: empathize/talk about male victimhood, and _not_ be misogynistic. Unfortunately while feminism is rife with interlaced or even blatant misandry, it is frustrating to find that much of the men's rights community has the same problem in the opposite direction, and many of its speakers interlace some amount of misogyny and become yet another content creator playing to a specific audience because they end up chasing views, likes, subscriptions and donations. The other thing is the very sad fact that yes, even merely talking about male victimhood is treated as being misogynistic by itself, and it really shows that yes, men are in fact being treated as pretty much worthless by default. The other day when Scott Galloway was on the Lincoln Project and the topic shifted to the mere recognition of male suffering, the comments were flooded with gleeful mockery of male victims. As if male victims should be met with mockery unlike female victims who should be met with sympathy and empathy and strength-building. If just the mere mention of male victimhood triggers mockery and cruelty towards them, it says something about what society really thinks of men - and sure, it's really really easy for anyone to begrudgingly pay some quick "I didn't say all men are bad" lip service caveat to their overall indifference to men. It's treatment overall across the long run that tells the truth.

[@jssandler]

I'm not sure if the topic came up in the interview: there may be some correlation with young men feeling adrift in modern American society and lack of male role models in prominent teaching positions. Elementary school teaching is seen as feminine and it's approached in a feminine way. In addition, in certain religious clerical professions, I think it can be difficult to find a lot of male role models these days as well. For example, in non-orthodox Judaism like reform or conservative branches, I have found that in certain temples, the entire leadership structure from the rabbi, the cantor etc. is all female. Consequently, if I may be candid, the rituals and the way the service is conducted honestly feels quite feminine to me, and as a younger man I find myself missing the "fatherly" quality that male elders in a community can provide. It's simply absent. I advocate for a balance and I am merely pointing out what I perceive to be an imbalance.

[@dago87able]

I’d say that in the particular case you’re citing, what you might be missing has to do with men always having filled those roles, in a tradition (the judaic as well as the judeo-christian) which is patriarcal.

[@brassman7599]

Men feel adrift in modern American society for a wide variety of reasons, I believe the most prevalent reason is that men see women being supported and encouraged in so many ways yet they themselves are treated as expendable and told to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". Men are expected to literally sacrifice their bodies and have their spirits broken in the pursuit of success so that they can provide for families that often still tell them they're not doing enough. Society in general, at every turn tell men if they're not at the top they're not doing enough, and if they ARE at the top society does everything it can to knock them down. A man without power is worthless and a man with power is a target. No man ever feels safe or secure in his life, it's a constant struggle for rare shreds of validation and the occasional glimmer of hope the his struggles mean something.

[@magicmarker7047]

So, in the past when all of these institutions were mainly run by men what was the so-called harm to girls/females and why are men so concerned about it now when things are changing somewhat the other way? You are now advocating for balance did you ever think about before? Nothing has ever been in balance. But because men dominated everything before no one gave a crap about how girls were being treated and conditioned. Please put the blame where it belongs firmly in the men's court.

[@DanTheMailman330]

[@saratemp790]

This guy spends all this time in public talking about it, but he still doesn't know what toxic masculinity is? Toxic masculinity does not mean masculinity. Toxic masculinity means pressuring guys to act macho in all circumstances without them ever admitting to need help or getting help.

[@zakaruahbones3142]

As a native Australian coming from a matriarchal culture, continuous and stable for over 50,000 years, these discussions are strange to me. If a stable, peaceful culture is the goal, the successes of native Australians is often overlooked. For over 50,000 years, we had; no slavery, no prejudice against gay or trans, strong notions of individual consent and autonomy, a blind legal system, no malnutrition, communal care for the disabled and elderly, etc, etc.

[@ricequin]

Feminists believe that young men should be able to discuss their problems and seek solutions. The problem is that certain men only ever bring up the subject as a form of whataboutism in order to silence discussion of women’s issues. As an example: I’ve only ever heard men bringing up the shockingly high rate of suicide among young men when it’s done in response to women mentioning problems we face in society. Unfortunately, most Men’s Rights “Activists” aren’t doing any actual activism, just shouting down female voices. I’d have a lot more respect for them if they were organising to find solutions instead of just moaning at women. Of course, there are wonderful men who are making real differences in their communities, but they tend to be ignored by the ones that just want to blame women for everything wrong in their lives.

[@AJ-hc5zo]

Great conversation. However, I feel like the problem with the concept of masculinity is that if you strip away the "superficial" aspects (e.g., men traditionally wore pants) there isn't really that much coherent left over. Like being aggressive or stopping aggressive are both masculine? Or is just having the capacity for physical aggression masculine? I think it is a word that actually is not very helpful.

We also need to get it out of our heads that lack of a typical 4-year degree = loser. By far, some of the brightest, most industrious people I know don't have degrees, because they *know* the obstacles they have to surmount, educationally and culturally. So many of those with degrees seem to approach life like a videogame: "Okay, I'm hungover, but I beat the levels, so gimme my points." And then don't continue educating or bettering themselves.

[@old_grey_cat]

One point not mentioned on masculinity: is it still held that people who test extreme on either masculine qualities/behaviors or feminine qualities/behaviors are less likely to be psychologically healtgy than those with a mixture of traits and attitudes? I ask because the guest seems to support the idea that a mixture of the gendered traits is a good thing for both men and women to have, which fits with my decades-back studies.

[@MsAnpassad]

He totally lost me as soon as he claimed that men should be responsible for the familys finances, as studies have shown us that the banks with at least 30 percent women in top positions, fared far better than those with less during recessions. Men take stupid risks. On top of that, men are more likely to financially abuse their spouse and making it impossible for them to leave them. Perhaps the professor needs to swap seats with the students? I know he's from a culture far less equal than mine, but that was ridiculous.

[@DeepCreekTV]

The way I understood it when he said " men need to take responsible for the families finances" was that men need to be honest with themselves if they are shit at manageing money and let their wives/partner look after it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@rjcarter2904 Well I certainly don't have 40 years of psychiatric experience, but I would argue that testosterone definitely increases aggressive behavior, as most plainly exhibited by the side effect roid rage. Being masculine doesn't necessarily mean you're aggressive.... But showing too much aggression due to an inability to control the side effects of testosterone (whether exogenous or endogenous) is definitely a toxic trait. There's nothing inherently wrong with testosterone, in fact TRT can help improve people's quality of aging... But it definitely can have some side effects. I'm curious about your thoughts.

[@salvatore2877]

What you are talking about is ethics and values. Why do you need to attach "masculine" and "feminine" labels to it? Especially when you say that women should also exhibit some positive masculine traits and men should also exhibit positive feminine traits: then what's the point of labelling them as masculine or feminine? As a non-American, it feels to me like what you have there is an identity crisis: in order to know who you are, you need to fit some label, some tribe, some pre-defined identity -- and so you need to discuss what that identity involves. I have been an exchange student in a US high school many years ago, and I remember noticing this already back then: a tribal culture of "cliques". You are a nerd or you are a jock, you are popular or you are unpopular... and once you are in a category, you adapt your identity to fit that mold. I watched so many of my high school peers doing that, and I felt so sorry for them. Now the tribal boundary of belonging is traced along gender lines, and so you get bogged down in discourses on what defines masculinity. But there is no single positive trait of masculinity that you would not wish for your daughter, and no single positive trait of femininity that you would not wish for your son. So does this make even sense? And of course, I get it: women are advancing in society, from their position of relative subordination which held back our mothers and grandmothers. Thank God for that! Yes, young man, now you feel you need to compete not only with other men, but also with women. Oh boy. But how about we stop thinking about society as a competition and more as a cooperative environment in which we all benefit if the downtrodden are lifted up. Ask yourself: do you just want to be the tribe's chief, or do you actually want your tribe to prosper? I don't think you need to think of the latter as a "masculine trait that women should also embrace", but if that helps you make sense of yourself... sure, go ahead.
