If there is such a thing as a "male role" in our species, it is that of a protector and provider. That means you don't use your position of power to harm others unless it is to defend those who can't defend themselves and you don't use it to hoard more resources for yourself.

I think he is having homoerotic fantasies and wants more buff men around. He just doesn't want to come out the closet for it.

Bit like how long Frederic Wilhelm I of Prussia had a thing for big men, so he created an army regiment of only gigantic sized soldiers. It had no use, but was his own personal fetish. He even had men kidnapped and forcibly signed up. The pay was solely based on length.

They didn't see any action, like most personal collections the king was way too careful with them. Even though he was called the warrior king he didn't wage war at all.

His son Frederik II, who was very reluctant even to become king as he was more into science, music and, well, men, turned out to be the true warmonger, and the one that made Prussia great (and himself, nominally).

Being insecure about how "masculine" you are (or by extension the company you run is), is one of the least masculine and secure things one could be.

Just try to be the best of yourself, and in the case of Zuckerberg and Meta: this ain't it!

Thank you I've been saying that for years and feels like shouting into the void!

Yeah, I don't feel the need to prove how manly I am. Who gives a flying poop. I just want to hang out with my family, play video games, watch movies, read books, build LEGO, and travel. Why do those things need to be masculine or feminine?

Also hang on, now that there officially are no more men in the United states does this mean Zuckerberg wants more immigrants in his company? Or would they also count as female once they entered the american workforce‽ So in effect does he want to outsource even more of the company or does he secretly want more immigrants and is just not allowed to say it like that?

Thinking about ubermensch and untermensch is such an untermensch ideology.
