So the left is going to try their best to re-masculinize by turning towards third world fannon-esque post-colonial theory and by holding up Hamas fighters and such as men to be admired.
You can already see it in the form of guys like Hasan piker and Bob Vylan. This is coming and you all need to be ready.
