This is not a call to adopt pickup artist buffoonery or the shallow machismo of an Andrew Tate, or any of the myriad pretensions of masculinity that one sees on the right. Such pursuits, even when motivated by a rejection of Longhouse norms, are equally deluded, and diminish one's higher nature.
Masculinity is 'deluded' if I'm reading that correctly?
It sounds like he's saying you have to get a tradwife? In other words don't be a player. Hard to say because he intentionally left it vague with the "any of the myriad pretensions of masculinity" comment. If you asked if that's what he meant he'd probably say "Oh no no no, REAL masculinity is fine."
I interpreted that as a rejection of extreme reactionary counter-positions. To "diminish one's higher nature" sounds to me like an appeal to reasonableness.

To me this sounds like a typical disavowal of one of the "bad" people in an attempt to remain in the "good" people's good graces.
The irony in calling for an escape of the longhouse but still being trapped in it by escaping it in a way that women find acceptable, lmao
The way I read it, only if masculinity appears right wing
He's saying "be masculine, not retarded" basically.
