The outpouring of love Walz is receiving — and the specific form it’s taking — makes it plain that masculinity isn’t under attack. Masculinity can be celebrated; people are longing to celebrate it. It’s the weird masculinity — the “He-Man Woman Haters Club,” as Walz put it during an interview a few weeks ago — that people have a problem with. The kind that confuses leadership with authoritarianism, strength with domination, and protection with control. Or to put it another way: For all of the complaints that liberal women hate all men, as of this week, all of the ones I know would run into a burning building to save Tim Walz.
