Matt Rife, The Patriarchy Won't Save You
Shanspeare (45:00). liy: no need to know who matt rife is before jumping in. this is the essay if you want a compassionate and deep unpacking of the American masculinity crisis (which also influences men elsewhere). Shanspeare gives a historical look at the dangerous pipeline men have been shackled to since they were children designed to frustrate them into misogyny, self-loathing rage and violence. Great dress.
