    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted The Atlantic

    A good take on American men & masculinity: the drive to be self-made; the quest for improvement, knowledge, achievement, adventure, purpose; the disdain for limits on any of these imposed by class, credential, or orthodoxy; the centrality of thinking out loud.https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1165280201179389952 …

    The AtlanticVerified account @TheAtlantic
    The wildly popular podcaster and comedian Joe Rogan has figured out something elemental about American masculinity. It's time for the rest of the country to pay attention. http://on.theatln.tc/sWrSdE9

        One reason the term "mansplaining" gets abused is that it often extends to an objection to *how men talk to each other* and even, to some extent, how men talk to themselves. In short, to how men talk at all.

        If you've ever listened to two men talk in a bar or a coffee shop, you have probably noticed that the vast majority of what each guy says is something the other guy already knows.

        Before the mid-20th century, it was a commonly understood aspirational value for American men to be in meaningful ways self-made: not simply schooled & advanced through institutions. The Revolution was made by men self-taught in war & politics & even science. Ditto Lincoln.

        The "middlebrow" American man does not, whatever the "highbrow" man tells you, mean uninterested in knowledge; quite the contrary.

        The Atlantic piece? Yes. Sure, the writer didn't want to be that guy, but at least he understood that guy.

        Replying to @baseballcrank

        The author gets it so right sometimes: "...many men respond to that. I respond to that. The competitive energy, the drive to succeed, the search for purpose, for self-respect," and then in the very next paragraph derides telling jokes for "hurting others".

        I think "...a good point coming out of the wrong mouth doesn’t count for squat..." says it all, really. This is *literally the definition of ad hominem*; the statement couldn't be more wrong. And it completely describes the author's worldview.
