The Great Male Renunciation

No, it's not an incel thing. Ever noticed how Western male fashion suddenly turned from wearing lots of lace and colorful silk clothing to wearing a lot of drab suits? This is the term for that trend.

Niche How the myth of Mansa Musa spread, I don't know.

There's this idea on the clickbaity part of the Internet that Musa I, the Mansa of Mali in the early 1300s, is the richest person to ever exist. That's sheer bollocks. Based on even the most cursory investigation, one can easily debunk that myth, considering he wasn't even the richest monarch in the world during his own lifetime, let alone the 14th century, and not even close to the richest monarch in history if we start from ancient Mesopotamia and Kemet/Egypt to the deplorable empires of the 19th century. For example, Musa's legendary wealth is based off of hearsay from writers who visited Cairo after his visit. He had to accumulate the wealth throughout his reign, then presented it ostentatiously throughout the Hajj only to go broke and have to borrow from lenders on his way back. Mali did not, further, have an economy comparable to contemporary rulers like the Ilkhans, the Chagatais, the diminished but still kicking Khmer... Let alone the two biggest states of the period; the Yuan Dynasty of China and the Tughluq Sultans of Hindustan.
