Joe Rogan is a case study in how relevant masculine/feminine has become for modern politics. To many people his politics are puzzling because he is broadly left-wing, stakes out strong right-wing positions on a couple of issues (guns, trans), and ties it all together with a staunch support of free speech. The missing explanatory variable is that Rogan is extremely masculine.
Take Bill Maher as another example. When I was growing up, Maher was the epitome of a partisan liberal Democrat. But by rejecting safetyism, coddling, and victim culture he stakes out a masculine position that has become increasingly identified with the Right. In his first visit with Jordan Peterson his first reaction was “everything this man is saying seems like common sense”.
