One Man’s Opinion...

“While an interesting listen, this podcast is of little value.
To start with the views expressed are highly colored by the author’s demographic - a young (?Millennial?) gay, inner city, Muslim. While this is an interesting window to look through it hardly describes me or the majority of other men in the US.
I was expecting a discussion of what being a man meant in the past, what it means now, and the relative merits and detriments to this change. However, this podcast is more of a windsock to what is fashionable today.
Personally I would have liked to hear about the concept of manhood in the
“Great Generation” in the 1940’s, and how cultural forces such as the “Women’s Movement” and “Me Too” have sculpted it into a different form, and whether this has been positive or negative.
On the positive side, I appreciated some of the authors guests, like a boxer discussing if you had to fight to be a man, and a transgender person of color talking about how the police treat him differently now he is a man.
While not exactly a waste of time, the appeal of this is mainly emotional rather than learning anything of substance.”

“And I know nothing about the host, but some guy that likes to yell owns a boxing gym and thinks fighting is unavoidable.”

“Fantastic, honest, and much needed conversations. My favorite episode so far is the one featuring Noor Tagouri. Thanks for a great podcast, I hope to be able to share this with my partner and other men in my life.”
