Toxic masculinity and my grandfather’s parachute | Opinion
Some of these things, and more, could probably be said of my own grandfathers, who still loom large in the memories of those who survive them. So I focus on the gifts they left for me. The few keepsakes I have from my grandfathers only become more important to me as the men themselves recede into my own past. From one, it’s the baptismal gown. From the other, who died when I was still a baby, it’s a gavel from his time chairing a committee during his 20-year career in his state legislature.
I don’t know how many people are really trying to live by this advice. Masculinity influencer and accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate has 6.7 million followers on Twitter. He had 4.6 million on Instagram when he was banned, and many more on TikTok and YouTube, where he is also banned. Worse, these expressions of masculinity tend to hurt those around these men as much as the men themselves. An alpha is not an alpha without a beta to dominate.
I don’t want to mimic the real old-fashioned masculinity of my forefathers, but I do want to learn from their willingness to serve. And, being a father, I want to instill that willingness in my own children.
