When the moment calls for fierceness, a good marani is a killer.

And they are.

They're warriors.

They'll kill you.

Don't cross them.

When the moment calls for tenderness, a good marani will lay down his sword and shield and be sweet like a baby.

What makes a great marani is knowing which moment is which.

It's a pleasure to be here.

Thank you.

What's going on is that the old role is shifted.

The sand is shifted under our feet.

And we're trying to figure out what the hell we are.

And if we're not going to be

what our dads and granddads were, what are we going to be?

And we're searching and we're grappling.

I got to tell you, the other thing that's going on is someone in reaction to feminism and somebody said about my work, women have had a revolution and now men have to deal with it.

It's like, what are we supposed to do here?

And there's been a backlash.

There's been a resurgence in our country and around the globe of almost a celebration of some of the most difficult, unattractive aspects of traditional masculinity.

And we're not sure what it means to be a man anymore, and particularly young guys are grappling.
