Background on the Masculinity Movement

Amerix is a social media influencer and reproductive medicine specialist who runs the viral weekly trend, #MasculinitySaturday. The hashtag started in January 2019 after a follower expressed severe depression due to marital disrespect.

The movement’s mantra is “Making men great again”. It provides counsel to men on various topics, including health, career growth, wealth, and relationships. By August 2023, the @Amerix account had a following of approximately 1.4 million.

The Controversy Surrounding Amerix

Amerix's teachings frequently court controversy. Critics have described his platform as a “manosphere” and suggest his discourse promotes traditional, stereotypical views of masculinity.

He advocates for men to be leaders who provide and protect. He has previously advised men to prioritise their goals, build their value, and guard their fame.

“A man is defined by his ability to make tough decisions without the intimidations of circumstance.”

Despite criticisms, his platform continues to grow. It provides a space for men who feel "disenfranchised" and are seeking guidance on navigating modern manhood. The employment post now represents a practical application of his focus on men's financial well-being and value.
