If there is such a thing as a “male role” in our species, it is that of a protector and provider. That means you don’t use your position of power to harm others unless it is to defend those who can’t defend themselves and you don’t use it to hoard more resources for yourself.
I think the idea of the male role is toxic bullshit. I was raised by a single mother and she did everything including protecting, providing and teaching good values. Women can do that shit just as well as men, gender doesn’t prohibit any of it.
I think he is having homoerotic fantasies and wants more buff men around. He just doesn’t want to come out the closet for it.
He also trained in Jiu Jitsu and is a fan of MMA.
I guess he loves being grappled by muscular men.
People doing Jiu Jitsu or MMA are rarely muscular, as that is detrimental to their performance. They want the most amount of strength and agility at the lowest possible bodyweight, so putting on unnecessary muscle would be a disadvantage. If you take a look at the highest ranking MMA fighters they are all at a pretty low bodyweight for their height
The average American man probably has more muscle than a world class MMA fighter, it’s just hidden under a thick layer of bodyfat
This is so wrong it’s wild. Go watch CJI or ADCC the heavyweights are ripped. Nick Rod who won CJI last year is absolutely jacked. Even the smaller weight guys like Jay and Nicky Ryan are very muscular and that’s just BJJ, if you’re talking about MMA fighters not being muscular that’s even more nuts, just go look at UFC roster or ONE FC roster and you’ll see most guys are crazy muscular.
“The average American man probably has more muscle than a world class MMA fighter” haha… What?..
Well, I guess it depends on the threshold where you consider someone muscular. I wouldn’t call any of those guys you mentioned muscular. Above average for sure, but a joke compared to people that casually lift weights for a few years
This is just above average to you?
Yes
“I think a lot of the corporate world is pretty culturally neutered. Masculine energy is good, and obviously, society has plenty of that, but I think corporate culture was really trying to get away from it. I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive.”
This is the full quote. It’s very hard to disagree with what he’s saying, imo. If half your employees aren’t acting the way they do in private, they’re putting on a mask and not being their true selves
Tech bros behaving on the work floor like they do in private is why we have turned to a culturally neutered workplace. These men don’t know how to behave professionally around women.
If half your employees aren’t acting the way they do in private, they’re putting on a mask and not being their true selves
Making people behave like normal human beings for 8 hours a day is a net benefit for society overall.

No. Zuck is just a bully bemoaning that some people still stand up to him.
You think celebrating aggressiveness in the
workplaceanywhere is good? IMO anyone who beats their partner or gets drunk and starts bar fights should be punished, not celebrated.You think masculinity means beating your partner?
