Rise of Internet Male Gurus

With the absence of mature masculinity in today's cultural conversation, there is a surge of internet male gurus appealing to young men with promises of wealth, success, and a hyper-idealized version of masculinity. These gurus often promote combative and angry personas, lacking nuance and respect for boundaries, relying on inflammatory content to trigger reactions and gain attention. This trend highlights a vacuum in grounded discussions about authentic manhood amidst the allure of reckless certainty and toxic masculinity.
