Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist in Los Angeles, with a focus on childhood trauma and autism.
And being very politically incorrect.
I strongly suggest not listening to any of my conversations with him if you’re a blue-haired LGBTQ activist who believes that men can become women.
A man who cannot defend himself or his family, whether he is attacked in a dark alley or by a SWAT team, is not a man.

Is maculinity toxic?
No.
Before we go any further, we need to define both ‘toxic’ and ‘masculinity’.
- Toxic: people, behaviours, or environments that are negative, abusive, or destructive.
- Masculinity: qualities, behaviours, and roles associated with being male.
My conversation with Jack Donovan on The Way of Men is an excellent addition; he breaks down masculinity and what it means to be a man.
Masculinity is essentially made up of four virtues: strength, courage, mastery, and honour.
There is nothing toxic about it.
‘Toxic masculinity’ is a meaningless term, pushed by neo-Marxists and feminists, argues Mark.
In fact, calling masculinity toxic promotes self-censorship and political correctness.
Mark reckons we should embrace masculinity as it is, not try to change it. Similarly, we should embrace femininity as it is, not try to change it. Feminism, through its anti-family and anti-women agenda, has destroyed a lot of modern society, by design, as both Rachel Wilson and Carrie Gress discussed on my podcast.
Referring to masculinity as ‘toxic’ is simply a postmodern form of misandry and an attempt to feminise men.
Put another way, toxic masculinity and masculinity are the same thing.
Conversation
Men cannot be men—much less good or heroic men—unless their actions have meaningful consequences to people they truly care about. Strength requires an opposing force, courage requires risk, mastery requires hard work, honor requires accountability to other men.
