I'm told that I am toxic and I live it every day
I try to practice kindness but I’m called that anyway
I'm 6 foot 2 and hairy, with manliness to spare
Until she wants to wax me, to take from me my hair
I stand upon the threshold and stare death in the eye
I’m weary and unbroken, and never did I try
To shirk my many duties to Country, God, and Fam,
You’ll take me as you find me, `cause that’s the way I am.

All this does is make me want to watch a James Bond film.
Thank you Jordan.
Thank you.
Great speech !!
If i was feeling sad i would just get down with the trumpets
A good friend of mine pointed out that his role model as a child was his Father, not some fictional weapon on TV. I feel a bit sad for this lad, that he didnt have a Father to look up to, but I guess that is common nowadays and probably a big factor in young men feeling isolated in society. Saying that young vulnerable men should seek help is a very obvious a statement. Like telling a man dying of thirst in a desert to "just get a drink of water". This young lad would be better severed asking "WHY" are men being isolated but then the cynic in me dosnt think this lad actually cares, more that he is just reading a script written by someone who wants to put across a very specific point.
I find it amazing how this term toxic masculinity can be taken seriously. I don't deny that the role model of a man has some negativ extreme sides, but and there is a big BUT, the difference between weakness and being able to show that you're vulnerable is a big one. Everybody is vulnerable and to act like you're not is something all humans do, not just man and especially not because its taught. And in fact man fall out of the education systems and have high suicide rates not because they have to much pressure. That's such an uninformed way to analyze the situation. Also, and that is true for every human, everybody wants to be strong. Sure you need to be able to show your emotions but being weak is not something desirable at all. And you get strong by learning to get on with the world, not being sheltered from it, cause that never works.
Well put bro.
Wow
TJ Kirk responded to this but I lost the video, little help?

9 mins in, you're welcome
Where the hell is rizzle kicks at!!!
Came here to troll, ended up crying. Damn!
Why would you cry over this?
PVO you get this for school
Isn't this the namby pamby who quit like a bitch on Survivor after only a few days?
You see James Bond as a womanising murderer, we see him as a secret agent who's popular with chicks.
Jordan, mate, James Bond is fiction. You know: escapism. I think you might be taking it a little seriously.
Even if he's fiction it has a large influence in our upbringing ;)
WEAK men keep the establishment happy
Jordan Stephens (average slave to Group-Think) is part of the Problem. He is COMPLETELY missing the point here. He has *no* *idea* why men are suffering today. And, I suspect, he doesn't really care.
Cassie Jaye (an award-winning documentary filmmaker) is part of the Solution. She UNDERSTANDS the reasons why men are suffering today. And, she genuinely cares, putting her career & personal safety on the line to help raise awareness.
Here she is, explaining men's issues to a packed audience, in a short speech that's been viewed by millions and millions:

Incredible young man. Saw him on #WILTY and just knew that he was one of the good ones =)

lol, not even close. I'm from iceland, "mate"
clever. keep spreading negativity to cover up how shitty your life is
so that's where all this anger is coming from, you secretly want to be with a man? fair cop, mate. just go for it.
Great pickup lines!
The irony is that in trying to explain that men's emotions are complex, he horribly over simplifies the James Bond character. "Murderer"? You mean killing people who are trying to destroy the world? "Womanizer"? Is a large part of that womanizing not done in order to get information in order to kill people who are trying to destroy the world?
I HAVENT GPT TIME IN MY LIFE TO BABYSIT PEOPLE IM NOT UP FOR THE CHALLAGE
This video made me angry and then sad on reflection. Here is how:
Yes, "there is male crisis at the moment" and self-empathy and self-knowledge is definitely part of the problem. However, I have no confidence that people using the words "toxic" and "masculinity" in the same sentence have much empathy for men in the first place. Do you also, like our man Jordan Stephenson think that "the idea of being a man" is "incredibly flawed"? If anything is toxic, it is saying things like this to young men.
Yes killer and womanizers are presented as role models. An accurate and empathetic language to describe this problem would be "perverted ideal of masculinity". This distinction tells men that it is not masculinity itself that is toxic but that it you need to do it right. The healthy idea of masculinity does involve knowing, accepting and expressing your feelings. It also involves other things such as determination, resourcefulness, strength, justice, congruence, ambition. Some of these virtues are being conflated with "toxicity" in the video, unfairly.
I am sad when thinking about all the boys who will feel bad about themselves because what they want to be is considered toxic. That people around them see nothing wrong with promoting such sexist language makes me angry.
Jan Iwanik I think you may have interpreted “toxic masculinity” wrong. The phrase does not say that the idea of being masculine and being a man itself is toxic or bad. The phrase itself is used to describe traits of adherence to traditional male gender roles that stigmatise certain issues. The idea of toxic masculinity does not shame masculinity some men may have, but shames the idea of certain behaviours, it is not saying masculinity itself is bad. Instead, it’s simply another way to describe negative depictions and behaviours men are pushed upon. It is in no way saying that you can’t be a masculine person, just as you can be toxic and feminine at the same time. :) All toxic masculinity is bad, but not all masculinity is toxic.
@@lcvespa1068 wow, I'm sure you know all about men and masculinity...
@@lcvespa1068 I might have but then again I might have not. I think you are the one misunderstanding and pretending innocence,
Why is womanizing and killing terrorists wrong?
I maybe would've took you seriously if you didn't try demonise James Bond who gives me more happiness than any other action hero. Today you come after James bond, tomorrow you'll come after BATMAN
Who's here bcz you found out he's Jade twirlwall's boyfriend
OMG just marry me now
Wow Jordan, I'm so glad that I have your permission and approval 0:49... doughnut.
Brilliant and brave. Thank you Jordan. These are liberating statements. The gender straight jacket affects men and women and causes suffering and disconnection for all of us. Some men have had sensitivity humiliated out of them as young boys and now as men are terrified of feeling, let alone showing or talking about their emotional (or even physical) pain.Women have paved the way and are welcoming the tide turning and I for one are relieved and so happy to see men showing sensitivity and being genuine, it's safe, attractive and hopeful for the future of humanity.
how do you know this?
I think they make this shit up as they go along. I have yet to hear one coherent definition as to what toxic masculinity is. I think that's because the concept is still under development.
Parroting woke platitudes about toxic masculinity. So brave!
@C B This is the perfect description of a real man. Nice
Are those dungarees?
This guy is so ridiculous. He wants a tv career, its obvious. That is why he is driving across Cambodia enjoying himself.
The comments on this are ridiculous and exactly what he’s sharing. Thank you Jordan for the support and awareness
Nose ring; check! Decorational scarf; check! Emotional BS; check! Must be a lefty
get some real problems
No one has ever advocated not working through trauma from childhood, relationships, etc. What shouldn't be done is using it as an excuse to be a totally weak individual, going around crying like a little bih all of the time. These confused dudes like Jordan are using trauma as an excuse to not grow up and refusing their role in the natural order of the world.
Boooooooo Dislike
