"It’s time for white men to have a Black woman’s back." Before more than 190,000 men joined a “White Dudes for Harris” call on July 29, the common wisdom in the media suggested that most white men support extreme right causes and candidates. Not so fast. “We’re taking white men back from the MAGA movement,” said Ross Morales Rocketto, a co-founder of White Dudes for Harris, at the start of a three-hour telethon that raised more than $4 million for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. “By our silence, we white men have allowed white nationalists to speak for us.”
White men are part of a multiracial, multicultural movement redefining manhood and masculinities. An unintended consequence of White Dudes for Harris is that white men can now walk through a portal where our voices articulating an egalitarian vision of manhood can be heard. White Dudes is inadvertently helping us put cracks in our glass ceiling.
To be honest, I don’t think manhood always meant the overly macho version we throw around today.
I’d expect figures like Napoleon or Caesar or Augustus would be called effeminate by the likes of Andrew Tate for their compromising diplomacy and actively keeping journals of their thoughts and feelings.
