Donald Trump thinks penis size is the ultimate measure of manhood. In
Sweden, we know better

By Mandy Pipher Contributor
Mandy Pipher is a Canadian writer now living in Sweden. You can find more
of her reflections on Swedish life & culture on her Substack: Mandy's Guide
to Sweden.
I like penises as much as the next straight girl, but my first thought when
watching Trump’s Arnold Palmer “all man” moment was what a sad model of
masculinity he was offering up. If manhood is measured by penises, that’s a
very small and narrow state of affairs for men, no matter how large said
penises may be.
Of course Trump was joking, but the phrase was revealing; it represents a
pervasive way of thinking about masculinity. In a cultural context where
men report feeling like they no longer have a socially acceptable model of
what it means to be a man — where the old model is “toxic,” but a new one
hasn’t yet formed — one dominant view is that the traditional model must be
reinstated, because the only alternative is the ‘cuck’: a cartoonishly weak
figure whose behaviour, actions, and even will are dominated by women. He
has neither social power nor even really any sense of self. He’s not quite
Theon Greyjoy from “Game of Thrones,” but he’s getting there.
Here in Sweden, where I recently moved with my family, there is a different
vista of manhood, one with refreshing alternatives to the He-Man/Cuck
dichotomy: dads with hipster glasses and coiffed hair who eat salad, ride
motorbikes, and listen to Joe Rogan; IT guys who spend their spare time
learning about wine pairings and teaching dance classes; energetic broad-
shouldered men working at daycares and elementary schools, enjoying their
jobs and taking a decent paycheque home to their families.
And, since this Scandinavia, these men are more likely to look like Jamie
Lannister or Tormund Giantsbane (played by Danish and Norwegian actors,
respectively) than Theon Greyjoy.
But what unites the male figures I see in Sweden isn’t the degree to which
they do or don’t embody Nordic masculine physical ideals. Instead, it’s
what I can best describe as a vibe: an aura of solidity and ease, a sense
of being secure in themselves and what they’re doing — men who move through
the world as if freed from narrow ideas of what their gender allows them to
do or be.
It’s also their sheer ubiquity. While we have many models of masculinity in
North America too, here in Sweden they are simply everywhere — out and
proud — in a way they’re often not back home. Without that kind of strong
societal presence, someone like Trump can more successfully spread his
small and retrograde version of manhood.
For both Theon Greyjoy and Donald Trump, manhood is epitomized by one thing
— Theon’s main source of pride was his large penis — but Sweden elevates a
model of manly value that is not defined by what others spy in communal
showers, but by something deeper and more vast; something internal;
something that can’t be cut off and sent in a box to your sister.
It is men finding, or believing, that it is possible for them to find,
strength and fulfilment in who they are and what they do for society. It is
the idea that how someone supports themselves doesn’t have to look one way.
It can be a woman driving a tractor or a man caring for toddlers, a man
inserting a needle for a blood draw or a woman fixing a pipe, a woman
drafting policy while a man soothes their baby.
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
Does it really matter, Swedish social norms imply, who does what job or
what’s between their legs, as long as they’re contributing to society and
free to do so in a way that makes sense for them and their families?
Swedes usually say this without really saying it — partially because of
their characteristic Nordic reserve, but largely because the question seems
irrelevant to them. If asked whether a man might feel like less of a man,
less of a strong or valuable person, because his chosen profession is
teaching preschool, not building houses or running an office, they are as
likely to return a perplexed stare as an incredulous little laugh.
What a silly question, after all.

The Counterterrorism Section of the National Security Division has
supervisory authority over 18 U.S.C. §§ 871 and 879 cases. As great
caution must be taken in matters relating to the security of the persons

the same reason, dismissal of complaints under 18 U.S.C. § 871, when the

PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to
resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of
supervised release.

A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
handling the prosecution.
