Yes I’m sure swinging a chainsaw and talking about memes is Musk trying to prove his masculinity. This “masculinity” is stuff is nothing more than therapy-speak, and I wonder where it originated. Some sort of own-the-right subreddit perhaps.

I'd invite you to not come with shallow dismissals and thought-terminating clichés like that.
As much as some in HN tend to dismiss social studies, there's quite a bit of interesting stuff in there, and I find the concept of "precarious manhood" one of those interesting topics trying to be understood since if you are a man you have probably felt what it's like in your life.
Just try to be a bit more curious, might be good for you.
I’m not dismissing the concept of masculinity but rather this contemporary pattern of speech that involves terms like “fragile masculinity”. I’ve yet to encounter such a term in clinical psychology literature, but I see it every day on the western internet
