Comedian Jerry Seinfeld recently shared his thoughts on the decline of “dominant masculinity” in American culture, suggesting that the disappearance of a clear social hierarchy has led to societal unrest. In a conversation with journalist Bari Weiss about his new Pop Tart-based movie “Unfrosted,” Seinfeld expressed his nostalgia for the 1960s, a time he believes embodied traditional masculinity.
Seinfeld lamented the lack of an agreed-upon hierarchy in today’s society, attributing reckless behavior on the roads to this absence. Despite his admiration for traditional masculinity, Seinfeld humorously admitted that he himself falls short of embodying those traits.
The comedian also discussed the concept of “toxic masculinity” with fellow comedian Bill Maher, agreeing that the proliferation of perverted pornography has contributed to the decline of men in society. Seinfeld criticized far-left “woke” culture for stifling entertainment and pushing people towards comedy as a form of escape.
During his recent commencement address at Duke University, Seinfeld faced protests from pro-Palestinian students who walked out in opposition to the Jewish comedian. Seinfeld dismissed the protests as “silly” and urged people to direct their frustrations towards those in power who can affect change.
Seinfeld’s candid remarks on masculinity and culture have sparked conversations about societal norms and the impact of political correctness on entertainment. Despite the controversy surrounding his views, Seinfeld remains unapologetic in his stance on traditional masculinity and the state of modern society.
