Conversational interview with Vincent Dixon and G. Andrew Meschter about the history of the idea of the gentleman in America and why it still matters today. Meschter weaves the intellectual history of old-school manliness with sensitive modern issues like "toxic masculinity," gender confusion, and the impact of 1960/ 70s feminism on male identity today. Many thanks to Karl Andersen for editing refinements.
