The "dudes rock" meme is a genuinely blessed addition to gender discourse. We've managed to make our positive model of masculinity something brand new. Overenthusiastic, enterprising, goofy, joyful, carefree, boisterous, camaraderie, all the qualities that we got scolded for in school.
I spent years toiling in the gender-discourse mines, trying to pry loose men's liberation from the manosphere.
I'm glad that we're finally getting there, I hope I helped, and I'm so happy to be out of the business.
One of the things I like most about it is that it destigmatises silliness. Your choices aren't Serious or Raging. You can enthusiastically like things and be a weird little guy about them.
