While I very much agree that traditional masculinity had important values and roles, I find the whole premise of your video too simplistic and reductionist ... The premise of the video is established at about 50 seconds in, where you state that traditionally all men knew how to live fulfilling lives ... how do you know? Which tradition do you mean? There are many traditions where most men were simply slaves to others. How many times in history do you think that men were really in this ideal situation that you’re trying to use as a premise? And then what percentage of men could live in that „automatically“ fulfilled way, because they simply knew how to be a man?

I think that what you’re trying to say is that men have innate tendencies that are different than womens and that current mainstream culture is telling them to disregard these deeper meaning of masculinity in favor of external dogmas.

Let me know if you want further feedback ...
