There seem to be any number of outlets promoting men and encouraging masculine behavior. (however that may be precisely defined)
* Joe Rogan is the highest paid podcaster of all time, and has 190 million downloads a month
* Ben Shapiro has the number 6 most-listened to podcast in the US
* Fox News is the highest rated news program in the US
To your point that most women teachers are women: That's true because women are often channeled into careers that are lower paid and lower status. This is even true within careers. For example, women are 50% of assistant professors, but only 34% of full time professors.
So who could young men look up to as role models? Well, the obvious answer would be anyone who is successful and doing good in the world, regardless of gender. But even if they are only capable of having male role models, they could look up to the 66% of full professors who are men; the 100% of US presidents who are men; the professional athletes who are most celebrated, which is overwhelmingly men -- all 10 of the top 10 best paid athletes are men.
It's easy for people who feel like losers to blame the "other." It's very easy for men who feel like losers to blame all their problems on women. But by any objective standard, there are plenty of individuals and groups that support and promote men. Whatever the underlying cause is for this phenomenon, it's unlikely to be women.

- iammisc 5y agoWhy are all your 'masculine' programs conservative? Think about it and therein lies the problem.
