Category 3 fundamentally requires much less focus on masculinity than 1/2 due to the huge overlap between “being a better man” & “being a better woman.” But I’m all for playing up the masculinity aspect, as it’s a massive source of insecurity, confusion & pain for men todayhttps://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1049001823586201602 …

While I sympathize with the idea that the concept of "masculinity" could be used as a tool for self-improvement for men, is it not slightly dishonest if the overlap between male and female improvement is so large?
I don’t think so — the *solution* is broadly the same (build capabilities, become physically healthier, dissolve counterproductive mental habits, etc.) but I do think the shape of the perceived *problem* is fairly strongly oriented to sex/gender

For one thing, I don’t think women feel that they’re not “woman enough” at anywhere near a rate approaching the male equivalent. We tend to disaggregate it (not pretty enough, not agreeable enough, etc.) in a way that at least makes it a bit more tractable

Interesting! But if the solution is broadly the same, why would it be a less suited approach to want to become a better "person" rather than a better "man" or "woman"?

Because people want to solve *their* problems, and they generally listen to you longer if you address those problems *and* provide a solution that works
