Cultural critic Jessica Crispin, author of 'What Is Wrong with Men,' examines masculinity through the lens of Michael Douglas films. She argues that modern men are trapped between a dying patriarchy and an unwillingness to adapt, leading to insecurity masked as aggression. Crispin highlights how even the richest men seek validation through physical transformation, revealing deep vulnerabilities. She suggests that men could benefit from creating support systems akin to those women have developed, instead of expecting the world to revolve around them.
