My interview on The Muscular Gentleman
Views on masculinity and men, going all the way back to Hegel.
I hadn’t talked to my elementary school buddy, Ruston Webb, since we were kids, but we found each other on social media and were able to catch up. He runs a program called The Muscular Gentleman where he coaches men on masculinity, exercise, and fitness.
We went over the history of these conceptualizations over the last couple of centuries and how they’ve shaped contemporary debates on masculinity within the academy and greater society. We talk Aristotle, Hegel, Marx, Critical Theory, Marcuse, Liberalism, the Enlightenment, Liberation, Christina Hoff Sommers, education policy, cancel culture, rightwing backlash and the drive to ‘become ungovernable.’
