Most of the progressive role models I see for straight white men focus on uplifting minorities and the disenfranchised. When it's not done to white knight or virtue signal, that's awesome. But it misses a crucial part of what a role model should be. Someone who understands your struggles and promotes self love and empathy. And encourages you to stick up for yourself. Secure your mask before helping others.
But when these men talk about their struggles they're branded as incels. If they say they're proud of their heritage they're branded as racist. If they try and do something about injustices they face they're branded conservatives.
