    Read excerpt

    “So using the words to just tell somebody you can be vulnerable won’t necessarily gain the action that you intended to give. I would say that just like children, modeling that you’re vulnerable is much more of an effective way.” ~ Kyle Pacheco ~ Masculinity In Review Kyle Pacheco ( ClearRoot Intelligence ) spent an hour this week describing a pattern most men will recognize and few will name out loud: you don’t learn manhood, you copy it. He talked about mirroring men he now knows were harmful,

    Read excerpt

    “For me, a part of masculinity is if you lose, you lose. Okay. I didn’t have my best day. Things didn’t go well. I could have done things different or people just didn’t want me to win. This is a democracy, right? So take that, learn lessons, move forward.” ~ AngryMaleVet ~ Masculinity In Review The third Intelligent Masculinity conversation with AngryMaleVet starts where the first two left off. Nick and AMV spend an hour walking through voter registration marches, USAF Major Jason Watson who is

    “What if I’m just a fucking grasshopper? What if that’s what I am? Am I not good enough? I mean, grasshoppers exist. Grasshoppers are valid. Grasshoppers bring value to the world.” ~ Lawrence Winnerman ~ Masculinity In Review This discussion never says the word “masculinity” until the last ten minutes, and that turns out to be the point. Nick Paro brought Lawrence Winnerman back to talk about better humaning, and what they got instead was a ninety-minute demonstration of it — we follow each othe

    Intelligent Masculinity | With Jason Odell (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Masculinity In Review A photographer with a doctorate in biology is not the obvious guest for a show about masculinity, which is exactly why this episode works. Nick Paro brings on Jason P. Odell — self-employed in Colorado Springs, a PhD out of UC Riverside “back in a previous lifetime” — and the conversation turns quickly into something other than a politics segment. It becomes an argument about how anyone decides what is true, and what happens to men, and to a country, when evidence is no lon
