Have you heard about this subset of famous men?
As a society, we are so used to seeing lazy, misogynistic tropes played out in the media that a man who praises or publicly loves their spouse is considered exceptional.
This week, the poster boy for Wife Guys, Ned Fulmer, was outed for cheating. Ned, up until this news broke, was one-quarter of content creators The Try Guys. Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang started their careers at BuzzFeed before carving their own path of internet stardom. They all present as one-dimensional characters, such is common in groups like this. Zach is the nerdy boy next door. Keith the friendly funny giant.
There’s a whole cohort of men in this category who are put on a pedestal of masculine morality for, err, loving their wives. Ryan Reynolds, Joshua Jackson, John Legend, Prince Harry, Barack Obama, Hugh Jackman and Nick Jonas spring to mind. The bar is so incredibly low for men that those who vocally love their wives are admired so greatly that it’s become a commodifiable persona . So, not only are they heralded as ‘better than the other guys’ they are also profiting from this bare minimum.
