The top 10% of men seem to be having all of the sex, according to some studies that I read, a lot of the sex. And then there's this bottom 50% of men that are somewhat disenfranchised because they...

So women, I did read a study that said the majority of women are still looking for a man who's earning more than them. But in a world of equality, which we all agree is a good thing, where women are more educated now, there isn't enough men up and to the right anymore.

These are all facts. However, we have to interpret. We have to interrogate this data, but more so I think we have to interrogate the narrative that's being handed to us.

That couldn't be further from the truth.

And I think we have to acknowledge, and this is where two things could be true. One, we live in a patriarchal society, absolutely, absolutely. But do we need to extend more grace? To our men, absolutely, we do. Are men lonelier than they ever have been? Absolutely. Are men confused? Absolutely, right? Are men being misled? Absolutely. Let's extend more grace to our men.

But at the same time, what we have to understand is the narrative that is handed to about women is that all women are looking for the six foot plus CEO, right, who's making over 100,000 pounds or dollars a year. And that is also not the case.
