Only somewhat surprising aspect of this story is that the economist giving the advice is a woman - who has a "manly" job. Neither she nor the story analyze who and what supported her to transgress long-standing gender norms.

Half the problems of ppl like Mark Zuckerberg is they secretly think they're pussies because they got rich making software. It's why he got into jiu jitsu in his 40s

It's why he got into almost all his faux manly activities. It's because he's a dweeb and he's compensating.

It's not ideal language and we shouldn't judge others based on heteronormative stereotypes, but I have to tell you: those guys ARE pussies.

Part of New Deal 2.0 should be having to be drafted for that instead of the military.

Or some kind of conservation, maintenance, or infrastructure building.

There should be a civilian service corp that everyone has to do like two to four years in. Get everyone out of their hometowns and working with people from other parts of the country. You do that or you do a stint in the military. As for fields of work, those three are a solid start.

Will probably have to rename it if the goal is to attract these kind of people.

doing a couple weeks of habitat for humanity (i.e., nailing plywood sheathing for a roof and regrading dirt in the hot sun) really cures you of the desire to do manual labor outdoors all day.
