Jordan Peterson: What Happens When You Erase Masculinity

By Selwyn Duke

When the Māori conquered the Moriori in the South Pacific in the mid-19th century, they proceeded to kill most of the fighting-age men and boys. The process, known as “androcide,” has occurred numerous times in history. The idea: Neuter a society by eliminating masculinity — in this case, by eliminating the masculine sex itself — and it’s yours. Rebellion against you is removed from the equation.

But there’s another way of neutering a society, too: Killing manhood emotionally and spiritually.

Democrats’ “Man” Problem: Trump Is an Alpha, and Liberal Beta Males Can’t Compete

By Selwyn Duke

Democrats have a man problem. And it’s not just because, as Judge Jeanine Pirro informed recently, only 12 percent of liberal women “claim to be completely satisfied with their lives — and it is because all the manly men have flocked to President Trump.” It’s also, on a related note, this:

Democrats have long relied on young voters as part of a winning coalition. They delivered in 2020, too, as Joe Biden won the 18-29 vote by 24 points (59 percent to 35 percent). They broke Democratic in 2024 as well, albeit by a much narrower margin: six points. (Fifty-two percent supported Kamala Harris, 46 percent Donald Trump.)

To the point here, however, the shift among young men — and some other male demographics — was striking. Men 18-29 voted for Biden over Trump in 2020 56 to 41 percent. Yet this was almost precisely reversed in 2024: 56 percent of young men supported Trump; only 42 percent went Harris.
