Sure, but not the parts that revolve around domination, aggression, so-called stoicism which is essentially artificially suppressing any vulnerable emotions, and control of women. Those are all central to traditional masculinity according to pretty much everybody - it's just that the Jordan Peterson types try to spin that as being a positive and not the obvious negative that it is.
There's never been a time in the past 6k years where men as a demographic acted as protectors of those weaker than themselves in anything but occasional instances, and sometimes with their families - but men are also most often the abusers and harmers (including killers) of women and children in their families so that's not exactly saying much. About 3 women are killed every day in the US by current and former male intimate partners. This is a worldwide problem — but not just in “3rd world” countries.
A dominance hierarchy social system requires that you dominate those who are perceived as weaker - and that's what we most often see throughout history - the abuse and marginalization of anyone perceived as weak (if they live in a patriarchy). If that weren't the case, we'd have a very, very different world right now. You're making up stories so you don't have to grapple with reality - but none of it holds water.
Saying things like 96% of people agree is groupthink rather than overwhelming scientific evidence of something is honestly just pathetic. It’s your cognitive dissonance driven by your subconscious emotions in overdrive. Do you even hear yourself?
You see threats, demands, and insults because guys like you won't listen to reason, won't pay attention to history, and persist in telling fairytales about masculinity in this culture - to the detriment of women and absolutely everyone else. It's extremely frustrating — and a huge impediment to progress that benefits us all.
“And yet, if you go back thousands of years to the times when we mostly used to live in small-scale, nomadic foraging groups, that theory doesn’t seem to hold much water.
Because during that time — which accounts for most of human history — we were largely egalitarian, as no individual or group had more authority or status than others. Based on ancient bone research, it’s now also believed that between 30–50% of all hunters were, in fact, women, suggesting that were no strictly defined gender roles either.
And even though there were sporadic fights between individuals, there was no organised conflict between groups or need for territorial defence since the notion of private property didn’t exactly exist yet. That’s also supported by the latest DNA research that proves our ancestors mixed, mingled and mated with human species in other regions of the world.
So what did men allegedly have to protect us from back then? Aliens from another dimension? Ghosts of extinct dinosaurs? Mutated megarats? Because it wasn’t men from other tribes. Or big animals which we also knew how to deal with.
Even if you look at the more recent past, this idea of men being women’s protectors is more literary fiction than a historical reality.”
You very literally are a part of the solution or you are a part of the problem. There is no neutral position. As holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said, "We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
