I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

    This is a great solution but it has two big problems that make it functionally impossible.

    1. To the left there is no non-toxic or positive masculinity.
    2. Feminism doesn’t actually support men, it’s a reluctant talking point. It only helps men if it happens to coincide with benefiting women.

      Depends on what part of the left you’re talking about, but yeah, these are things which have to change in order for it to work well.
