The Daily Mail's "Manly Council"!

For those who may not be familiar, the Daily Mail is a British tabloid newspaper known for its conservative and traditionalist views. In 2019, the paper launched a section called "Manly Council" which aimed to promote "traditional masculinity" and provide advice on how men can be more "manly".

The section was met with widespread criticism and ridicule, with many accusing the paper of promoting harmful and outdated gender stereotypes. The backlash was so severe that the paper was forced to apologize and eventually discontinue the section.

Some of the advice offered by the "Manly Council" included:

• "Don't be a wimp, be a man" - a message that encouraged men to suppress their emotions and not show vulnerability.
• "Don't be a girly man" - a phrase that implied that men who engaged in activities traditionally associated with women, such as cooking or fashion, were somehow less masculine.
• "Be a real man, not a metrosexual" - a message that perpetuated the idea that men who cared about their appearance or engaged in "feminine" activities were somehow less masculine.

The "Manly Council" was widely criticized for promoting harmful gender stereotypes and reinforcing toxic masculinity. Many argued that the section was a step backward for gender equality and that it perpetuated harmful and outdated attitudes towards men and masculinity.

In the end, the "Manly Council" was discontinued, and the Daily Mail was forced to apologize for its harmful and outdated views. However, the controversy surrounding the section serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting positive and inclusive attitudes towards gender and masculinity.
