Sure, but this is not an answer to the question:
Why aren't millennials as macho as the previous civic generations?
It still could be that men are adjusting to the realities of gender in America, and that there has not been a Crisis that has yet empowered men while leaving women out of roles that rely upon brute-force construction or combat as did the Crisis Eras from the Armada Crisis on.
If the Crisis is dealing with a President trying to rule as a despot, then women are already the leaders of the resistance. Think of the Argentine response to the collapse of credibility of the military junta.
Quote:Actually I don't like macho blokes at all, I see them as potential bullies, but I want to answer this question in light of the generational theory.
My observation, too. Bullies and rapists. Men who put their maleness as the center of their personhood are usually lacking something. It's almost as bad as being proud of being white.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
