Summary

Our culture is literally littered with the fallout of unhappy men looking to assert their dominance. From the tantrums of our last president, to our daily mass shootings, to the broad resurgence of patriarchal male dominance, men are not doing ok and they’re making it everyone else’s problem. Join me and the founder of ReMaking Manhood Mark Greene as we talk about what’s gone wrong and how strategists behind the conservative and MAGA movement are looking to weaponize every aspect of the culture wars including our culture of masculinity to their benefit, and what we, as a culture, can do about it - both for the health of our men, and the health of our society, because clearly this isn’t working.
