Umm. That’s every traditional religious book and the entirety of most organized religious institutions and theology schools/seminaries. It’s hardly underrepresented.

I think you’re talking past each other here
Goddess/feminine spirituality is a sort of self-starter SMB spirituality thing, which is in defiance of orthodoxy
I think QC is trying to talk about the “missing market” of the male equivalent heterodoxy

In practice, dudes do have their small/localised forms of communion, ritual, meaning - podcasts, video games, sports, alcohol, suits, beards, etc. List goes on. Sometimes dudes will do this sort of thing in a half-ironic way:

What QC is asking for is a very improbable niche-within-niche thing where the “unit economics” don’t work. Like 1% of straight guys might be interested in “Masculine Spirituality”, and the framing is so contaminated that barely anybody worth talking to is going to touch it

Yes. This is actually a very strong argument with a good deal of historical evidence for it. “Spirituality” has often been defined around essentialized feminine patterns of relating and knowing, both formally/institutionally, and in folk practices.

To the extent “masculine spirituality” is a thing, it is more likely to be built around for eg hunting rituals. You see the difference in mystic traditions too. Masculine traditions tend to be built around meditation and stillness. Feminine ones around ritual ecstasy/dance/music.
