What I meanlyness is bring back this what I call it as a classical ideal of manliness.

What I mean by that is the idea of manliness that started with the ancient Greeks, the ancient Romans, and really was

with us in the west until about the 1950s, 1960s, when a lot of the, you know,

with the social changes we had during that time.

And what I mean by the classical idea of manliness

is, you know, if you asked someone like on the street,

like what in ancient Rome or even in

American 17th you know the 19th century or someone in the 19th century like what does

manliness mean to to you and they would say things like oh well being a man or manliness means you know

being a man of virtue means being you know having strength having not just physical strength but also moral and intellectual

strength courage means having honor it means being industrious it means

providing and contributing.

That was another important, it was being a man in ancient Rome and even in America

until fairly recently, being a man meant you had to contribute to society.

You had to be engaged in the public sphere and not think only about yourself.

And to me that's just that tastes good, that idea of manly.

And now when you ask what, you know, guys like what does it mean to be manly like they'll say dumb stuff like

oh be manly means like sports and playing video games and like eating meat and it's

it's very manliness in today is very self-centered I feel like very narcissistic and so

we're trying to bring kind of re-revives this idea of manliness being something

more positive instead of sort of the what we sort of

the I guess it's more cartoonish what we have today. I'm Srenny Rao and this is the unmistakable Creative Podcast where you get a window
