As the world continues to grapple with the rise of toxic masculinity and the normalization of misogyny, a recent episode of Kara Swisher's podcast On has shed light on the disturbing behavior of two prominent figures: Elon Musk and Donald Trump. In a heated debate, Musk took to Twitter to threaten Taylor Swift, offering to "give her a child" and "guard her cats with my life." Clinton, a seasoned politician and advocate for women's rights, was quick to condemn Musk's remarks, likening them to a form of rape.

But why do these men feel the need to engage in such toxic behavior? Is it simply a manifestation of their own insecurities and fears, or is there something more sinister at play? As Clinton astutely pointed out, "misogyny is such a part of their worldview, and they gravitate toward toughness and brutality and machoism." But what if this assumption is wrong? What might the author have missed?

Musk's remarks were not an isolated incident, but rather a symptom of a larger problem. Trump, known for his own history of misogyny, has consistently used his platform to belittle and demean women. His attacks on Swift, a self-made billionaire and role model for young women, are just the latest example of this toxic behavior. But what if we were to challenge the assumption that Trump's behavior is simply a result of his own personal flaws? What if, instead, we were to consider the broader cultural and societal factors that contribute to his behavior?

As Clinton noted, Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris was always going to "trigger" Trump. But what if we were to look beyond the surface level and examine the larger implications of this endorsement? What if we were to consider the ways in which Swift's endorsement of Harris reflects a broader cultural shift towards greater female empowerment and representation?
