Of Boys and Men author offers insights on masculinity in politics.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz speaks during a campaign rally with Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris at the Liacouras Center at Temple University on August 6, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.The writer Richard Reeves is an expert on the challenges facing boys and men.
On the Democratic side, Reeves says the fact that Harris is a woman gives her more “permission” to speak on the issues of boys and men.He also highlights the significance of Harris choosing Governor Tim Walz as her running mate to contrast Trump’s style of masculinity. “It'll be interesting to see if they follow this up with any policies. But a high school coach, a high school teacher—there’s a way in which Tim Walz is embodying a more service-oriented form of masculinity.
“There are very many different ways of being masculine. But I would say that the longest and best established definition of masculinity that I found as I've done this work is really of being of service to others, of being of for more than yourself.” For him, one of the biggest challenges facing the progressive left on the issue of masculinity is “the reluctance either to admit that there is a difference between masculinity and femininity or to be willing to accept that there are some aspects of masculinity.”Sponsor Message
