Masculinity and Politics: Exploring the Connection Between Gender Ideals and Voting Trends

There has been a growing shift of young male voters towards right-wing politics, driven by feelings of alienation from progressive narratives that often overlook and dismiss their struggles. The right has capitalized on this by promoting hyper-masculine ideals that resonate with this demographic.

This week, I welcome back Ruth Whippman, author of the book Boy Mom, to discuss how to foster emotional connections, have open dialogue and reimagine boyhood to help boys develop healthier and more inclusive identities.

 

She joins me to discuss:

  • The noticeable shift of young male voters towards right-wing politics
  • How the left has struggled to effectively communicate a positive and inclusive narrative for boys and men
  • That messages celebrating hyper-masculinity have resonated with young men, filling in a gap left by progressive movements
