Spot-on and sadly, the "male figures" we have today are insecure social-media "high-value buffoons - sure, some of them are "legit" but even they have to play the "I'm higher value!" show game to compete with the fake buffoons.
Real role models like Jordan Peterson, Joseph Tainsh (Masculine Theory), Hamza, and Aanghel are only now cropping up - and getting popular.
There's hope though - boys and men are seeing through the fakes.
