Comment on Men are going to brutal boot camps to reclaim their masculinity. How did we get here?

I think it’s tough for men to make friends and have hobbies because so many people are overworked and too busy.
These man camps seem stupid to me personally because there are a million other activities to partake in where you can challenge yourself. Go hiking or camping or ride a dirt bike and be social. Run a Tough Mudder with some buddies to build some camaraderie.
A man camp just seems like an activity for men who have no hobbies or interests outside their family and work.

I guess when men are leading an unfulfilled life they look to these programs to establish their manhood.
I think it’d be more productive just to invest in some quality hobbies but maybe that’s not enough to prove to themselves how manly they are.
I don’t know anyone IRL who would be interested in a program like this so any opinion on the matter is just speculation from me.
