No, masculinity did.
(Okay, I'm over-simplifying, just watch the video!)
It's quite the opposite of Andrew Tate. It's a discussion of how masculinity "breaks men so they can break others", done by a gay leftist trans man with a sociology background. So not only does he know what it's like to move from being treated as a girl to being treated as a boy and the emotional toll it takes, he also brings the gender euphoria typical for us trans folks to the table, and that POV turns out to be a pretty powerful analytic perspective. He takes masculinity apart from a feminist vantage point, there's a lot of bell hooks in the vid, but while he understands the ins and outs of toxic masculinity he also genuinely loves being a dude, and that leads to the kind of heartfelt and informed discussion about masculinity you're describing.
I think that’s fantastic. I’m just suggesting that, if exactly this text had been posted alongside the video, I and possibly others would have wanted to watch it. My threshold for watching a video - especially these days given the proliferation of monetized over the top MRA videos and such - is higher than that for some text. If I’m with someone, I have to either stick it in a queue for later watching or find some headphones, I can’t watch it from the back of an Uber or in public, and so on.
I will end up watching this when I can. It also sounds exactly aligned with the men’s lib movement.

Absolutely. That goes for most of the vids posted on here, i wouldn't have watched it either if i wasn't familiar with the guy's work.
Pretty sure the video title is to trick reactionary minded men into watching the video.
This is a fantastic summary/explanation. I also had the wrong idea from the title, but you totally sold me on watching this.
