In 1973, Japan selected Princeton University as one of a small group of American institutions of higher education to be awarded $1 million each to support Japanese studies in the United States. At Princeton, the grant was earmarked for an endowed fund to pay the salary of a professor in Japanese studies.

"What can we as physicians do to prevent the health impacts of the MAHA-MAGA-manosphere, either in clinical settings, in our public health work, or in parenting?"

Puleeeeese. Sez the professor of "global health"

One approach is to incorporate a brief assessment of digital media use when we see young men in clinic and then, based on the assessment, have an open conversation about toxic digital content. Another is to recognize that symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, or stress in young men could be related to their exposure to the manosphere. Family physician Adam Thompson, MD, reminds us not to 'dismiss the motivations that draw young men to these spaces.' Instead, we can use the opportunity to discuss their mental health and to reframe what healthy masculinity looks like.

1. Who has ever had a conversation with a typical physician that lasted longer than “are you allergic to penicillin?”

2. It’s precisely the lack of masculine traits that causes symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, and stress.

3. The “believe womyn unless the alleged perpetrator is a Democrat”, the depiction in our popular culture of man as inept stooges redeemed only by the intervention of womyn, preferably womyn of color, the “girls rule boys drool” indoctrination in grade school; the failure of young men to finish college at the same rate as their female counterparts all point to a lack of masculinity, not a toxic abundance of it.

4. Healthy masculinity looks like a 1970’s Detroit dreamboat with a big block V-8, four on the floor or three on the tree, white sidewalls, diamond in the back, and a sunroof top. It looks like confidently ordering “a hot black coffee, please” instead of agonizing at volume about what testes shrinking soy bullshit breakfast drink you’re gonna suck on. Healthy masculinity knows that wheel guns never fail and that an accidental discharge is not an STD. It learns, it adapts, hopefully lives through the injury, and it buys an H+K next time.

5. A culture that deifies a sad loser like Cobain should pray our borders hold and our missile arsenal rebuilds, ‘cause unless we start drafting 60 year olds, we’re gonna fold like Spain when the barbarians arrive at the gate.
