What is that thing he is wearing?
I wondered the same.

What is that thing he is wearing?
I wouldn't define it that way - more like the absence of acceptance of each person's individuality and attempts to fit a person into a box they don't feel comfortable in. IOW....it's an attack on a person's spirit to try to mold them into something they know - in their spirit - they aren't.I suppose the absence of acceptance of gender fluidity is the warfare he’s referencing.

To tell from what you posted, it seems to be about clothes and stuff, not about anything that might define masculinity.Welcome to GQ's New Masculinity issue, an exploration of the ways that traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged, overturned, and evolved.

There were gender-fluid elements to the way you dressed long before it became a national conversation.
It started with the “I can pull that off” thing. I wore a lot of Chanel, and I wore tons of Céline. Like, I got all the O.G. Céline. Because they were clothes I could fit in. When you listen to yourself and you're comfortable in who you are, you wear what you feel like fits and looks right on you. And that's it.
Question: What are your thoughts on “new masculinity?” Is it a fad or something deeper?

Is there a fad? Lol..
As for me, I base notions of masculinity and femininity on biology mainly neoteny.
Heck, the idea that men of well means in the past wore makeup and dainty clothes doesn't really bother my viewpoints. I suspect men are more likely to be gender fluid than women. Isn't that what we see in the trans community? More trans-women compared to trans-men?
Mainly I say - "to each his own". (Or perhaps "to each their own".... which I admit will take some adjusting to.)Welcome to GQ's New Masculinity issue, an exploration of the ways that traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged, overturned, and evolved.

What do I think? I think this all has happened before in the greek and Roman empires right before they collapsed from within.Welcome to GQ's New Masculinity issue, an exploration of the ways that traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged, overturned, and evolved.

There's a possibility that we are doing just that. Something I'd never considered until reading a blog by a biblical scholar (that I can't seem to locate now) is that maybe - prior to the fall of humanity - Adam and Eve may have been in spirit form like God. The "skin" or "garments" God made for them may have just been our mortal skin we're all clothed in now. We bring in the idea of God performing the first animal sacrifice in order to clothe Adam and Eve - but I don't see that in the text. I just thought it was an interesting thought. This translation goes along with that idea:we simply need to all go back to wearing the very same animal skins that he gave us when we were exiled from Eden.

It's nasty. This trend towards feminine men is enough to make any real man want to run screaming back into the woods and kill something. If this is the next generation were all doomed.Welcome to GQ's New Masculinity issue, an exploration of the ways that traditional notions of masculinity are being challenged, overturned, and evolved.

I disagree with your assessment of the smoldering yellow ensemble. That thing seems like the most practical garment ever! You wouldn’t need anything else. Not even a bed! You could just live in that outfit and sleep wherever you feel like. Just, like, lay yourself down somewhere. You could even keep all your stuff inside of it. With the way housing costs are going, it might well be the way of the future.Mainly I say - "to each his own". (Or perhaps "to each their own".... which I admit will take some adjusting to.)
I do think the extremes, like that amazing yellow quilted combo tent/sleeping-bag number, are a fad.
But I also think that the overall cultural middle is angling slightly away from gender all-importance, which is good.

A young man at my church said he had read something like this before. I guess it is possible and we will understand it better when Lord Jesus comes. The Bible is full of things we don't fully understand. But it does teach us that there is NOTHING new under the sun.There's a possibility that we are doing just that.
