"There's a lot of hypermasculinity coming forward." Kadia Goba breaks down how Trump is using gender and masculinity to sell himself through the media. Listen to Mixed Signals from Semafor Media: https://lnkd.in/eyzE5uj7

Wondering how the RNC ended up a showcase for such intense masculinity? On Semafor's Mixed Signals podcast, Ben Smith, Nayeema Raza & Kadia Goba break down Trump's embrace of extreme manliness, and what it means for the campaign and for culture: https://lnkd.in/eCyMsi64

🟡 On Mixed Signals from Semafor Media, Ben Smith and Nayeema Raza discuss reactions to the attempted assassination of former President Trump — from a cautious media, an internet in overdrive, and a Republican National Convention that proved surprisingly welcoming. Then, they turn to the undercurrent of the RNC: the campaign for the hearts of American men, via the UFC, Hulk Hogan, and broader “manosphere.” Semafor reporter Kadia Goba also joins to talk about Trump’s appeal to Black men, particularly the iconic athletes of the 80s (you’ll hear from Mike Tyson and Lawrence Taylor). And, of course, Maxwell Tani fills our blind spots … with a dog interview and gym etiquette. Listen now: https://lnkd.in/eyzE5uj7

"I don't want to write about capris because I don't think that they look good and I don't want people to bring them back." The Cut editor-in-chief Lindsay Peoples joins Mixed Signals from Semafor Media: https://lnkd.in/ez_AUivF

After a quick assessment of President Biden’s strategy to shut down his critics, Ben Smith and Nayeema Raza move on to larger culture and gender wars that will define the 2024 election – regardless of who is on the Democratic ticket. They look at recent upheavals of a media-fueled myth that women can have it all and dig into how people are trying to pierce that with trends of trad wives, polyamory, and hot celibacy summer. And they call up Lindsay Peoples, editor of The Cut, to discuss vibe shifts, the politicization of gender, and whether the publication is putting its thumb on the scale for Kamala.
