There's really no 'liberal' person with Tate's reach. If there were, you'd know of them. I can assist with some non-political masculinity people/groups though:

There's really no 'liberal' person with Tate's reach. If there were, you'd know of them.
I can assist with some non-political masculinity people/groups though:
1) Far and away: Brett and Kate McKay. They run https://www.artofmanliness.com/ https://www.artofmanliness.com/ and have for over a decade now. The articles are decidedly non-political and mostly non-religious. The back catalog is huge. The podcast is quite good and consistent.
2) Esquire Magazine: A bit of a lad-mag still. But the articles are mostly men's interest and on current events. The long form articles, going back decades, are gold. You're not going to find better journalism going on men's issues.
3) Russ Roberts: Running the econtalk podcast since 2006, https://www.econlib.org/econtalk/ https://www.econlib.org/econtalk/. Though very much not centered on men's issues, he does a very good job of separating out the issues of the guests he has and going slowly through it all. Between him and the McKays, they are the only podcast hosts I know of that actually read the books of the guests that they have on before the podcast (please let me know of others!).
4) Your local men's bible/torah/koran study group, scout troop, sports league, holy order of the water buffalo, etc.: Bit cheeky here, but they deserves a shout out. If you want healthy male conversation and groups, your local area men's groups, largely defined, are the best bet. The McKays go into this a lot more, but the gist is that men form gang as a basic unit and you have to play into that underlying structure.
Largely speaking, good male role models are going to be harder to find and more local. That kinda relates to the way that men relate with each other. Bad ones are going to be all over the place and very loud about it, like so many drunks. The good ones are more silent and take time to develop, like so much scotch.

- wolverine876 3y agoPublic figures, such as politicians, business leaders, etc. can and have served as role models. Now it's considered with it to show disdain for morality and empathy, or at best not mention it, and to demonstrate unpredictability and disruption. Look at Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, for example. When has Biden provided that kind of leadership? With the obvious exception of Trump, even the worst of presidents provided it before. Where are at least some business leaders? Look at the people running Silicon Valley and Wall Street - either silent (Tim Cook, etc.) or disruptive and amoral (Musk, Altman, Thiel, Dimon, too many to mention). The good people are failing young men (and women) by hiding and not offering an alternative, healthy perspective.
