Men are enforced into a kind of silence about their gender; they're supposed to not think of it as a performance. That's the definition of manliness - that it's not a performance; it's being yourself, authentic. Whereas women have understood gender as performance. Men have not yet made that quantum leap, or rather they're making it in many ways, they're not thinking about it.

The first things that babies can notice is sex; the first thing that you can tell about a person when you see them walking down the street is their gender.

You have two things happening: You have the cultural and economic reality of men falling apart and traditional masculinity falling apart.

Actually the family is still the core social unit. Culturally, traditional masculinity was a removed father. That was a false conception of masculinity and the proper relationship between a man and his children.

Men's gender problems cause them a lot of suffering. There is a massive spiking suicide rate in middle age for men and a cultural attitude to male friendship that is destructive.

The wilderness within us is actually the best part of us.

Men are not taking women's job, which are good jobs. Being a nurse is an excellent job.
