Where do different ideas of masculinity fit into the presidential election? And of course, it still is.” Reeves says, “But it's striking to me how much of the debate and so much of the performance, almost of the election so far, has actually been about competing views about masculinity and manhood.” Sponsor Message This summer, philanthropist Melinda French Gates distributed $1 billion to causes supporting women and girls. And so there's a certain selflessness to all of the definitions of masculinity that I think is positive, that I think should define what modern manhood is.” For him, one of the biggest challenges facing the progressive left on the issue of masculinity is “the reluctance either to admit that there is a difference between masculinity and femininity or to be willing to accept that there are some aspects of masculinity.” Policy solutions are needed on both the left and the right Recent polling from the Pew Research Center shows that more men tend to vote Republican.

If anything, they're more supportive.” He goes on to say, “I think it's a real mistake on the part of people on the left to see the move of young men towards the right and see that as a turning towards the right when it could just as easily be a turning away from the left, because they don't see themselves in the rhetoric and aesthetic and politics of the left.” Reeves says that many young men feel “quite homeless politically,” and that sense of not belonging makes them open to the right if they feel that they are being heard.
