Men And The Media That Shapes Them

Описание: Male characters are a dime a dozen in the media landscape. everything from the action heroes of the 80s to the gentle lovers of hallmark movies. But what do these character have to give to society? What about Iron Man, Aragorn, Smoke, Superman, and star lord, have to give to the men of the modern day? if you haven't been checking the news lately, the male loneliness epidemic has not gone away. Our traditional gender identity has been stripped away from us as we are completely priced out of owning a home and providing for a family at the same time. Our hobbies have been politicized by Alt-Right grifters who’ve been paid off by Russia to spew their propaganda. Male spaces have been hijacked by women beaters who built an empire on a Pyramid scheme. We are being alienated more and more from the opposite gender. And worst of all, the media goes out of its way to blame all of society's problems on us and then goes to wonder why we're angry.
