Dana White Mocks Concerns About ‘Toxic Masculinity’, Claims Young Men Are Being ‘Displaced’

ByMF Jones

Dana White has always seemed like a psychopath with no feelings ‘tough love’ kind of guy, so it’s no surprise to see him ripping into the notion of men’s mental health during an interview on The Katie Miller Podcast this week.

The UFC President, 56, mocked concerns about toxic masculinity, warned society had ‘displaced’ young men, and straight up said he hates ‘men’s mental health stuff’:

Dana says: “I hate this whole men’s mental health stuff that they talk about. Unfortunately, when you’re a man, you are the provider, you can’t be that guy posting on social media, oh I had a bad day and I’m so sad. It’s unattractive to other males, let alone women”

He added: “Times are changing from when I was young. These young men, I think, you know, we went through COVID and the whole woke era and all the weird s— that went on during that period. A lot of the young males felt displaced.”

On toxic masculinity: “The only people who hate ‘toxic masculinity’ are women who hate themselves. I grew up in the 80s when, you know, men were men. Now it’s a whole other world out there.”

Now, look – the man has a point. Men are a lot softer and less masculine than they were back in the day. They’re more likely to shirk struggle and responsibility to wallow in self-pity and helplessness. But to completely write off the idea of men’s mental health? I’m not sure that’s a great idea. Men die by suicide at 4x the rate of women and one of the biggest drivers of that is that men are less likely to ask for help.

It’s attitudes like Dana White’s that put men off getting the help they need. After all, lifting weights or going for a run isn’t a solution for everyone’s mental health struggles. Although it’s definitely something everyone should try if they feel their mental health is in decline. Still, what if that doesn’t work you? What then?

Elsewhere in the podcast, Dana White kissed Trump’s @rse, but that’s par for the course really.
