OK, so this feminist law professor thinks capitalism has a masculinity problem? And she's bummed that more Americans don't agree with her? I think this will continue to bother poor Ms Williams because no American with half a brain is going to buy the crap she's selling. And suggesting that the folks who don't agree with you and her on this are MAGAmorons and Right-wingnut media isn't going to help her, or your, case at all.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are poster children for the case she is making. For example, Trump consistently ripped off construction workers and subcontractors on his projects and Musk has thus far not paid hundreds of millions in severance pay to laid off workers the world around.
Though I am not a big believer in the notion of toxic masculinity, these two clowns do provide pretty clear examples to those wishing to make the case.
