I have been working on a video essay on "the masculinity crisis" . This idea that suggests men are being left behind in the changing social & educational landscape. This alleged crisis, along with the social & economic advancement of women & queer folks, has led to the propagation of mens rights activism and anti-feminist discourse. In this interview, I talk with Fiq about whether or not there is actually a masculinity crisis, and if so whose job is it to address it. Among many other things. I hope y'all enjoy

I appreciated how you called out his hesitation in loudly and proudly proclaiming himself a feminist. While I do understand his standpoint in not wanting to alienate his more flighty male audience I wholly disagree that ‘hiding how the sausage gets made’, or feminism on ‘accident’ is better in the long run for men. Yes there has been a commercialized co-opting of what feminism actually is (Beyoncé has also played her part in that) for the general public, which has made many people wary of the term. But I think that is especially why we need to call out what’s not feminism -Katy Perry going to space- and what real feminism looks like, the work that both you and FD does. If they walk away from FD’s videos never able to make the connection that what he’s talking about is built on the work of feminist literature, did they actually learn. It feels almost anti-educational, they should know where these ideas originate from and the school of thought they fall under. Moreover, I actually think that him vocalizing his discomfort being called a feminist did more harm than good. It would be better in my opinion if he avoided the conversation all together, but making a point to say ‘I’m not a feminist’ I worry that people will walk away from that always having some reservation around the term. When they leave that video with him saying he’s not a feminist and encounter a video with you loudly and proudly proclaiming yourself to be a feminist they will already have some skepticism around your work, because if FD is not comfortable being a feminist people who are must be deceitful in some way. It contributes to the negative association people have with feminism rather than pulling them to a neutral stance. I think we should all be working towards everyone understanding that feminism is for everyone, his reluctance only reaffirms that feminism and masculinity must not be able to coexist.

I happen to be the 8th like on this comment and rightfully so. You mf 888 this. Its funny because I challenged Conscious Lee with the same question. He gave a much different answer. One that i think is helpful in terms of reorienting traditionally masculine, cis-het men toward feminism. Anyway, thank you for this comment Tron. You're soo thoughtful.
