I think one of the things is it's incredibly hard to speak about this without being cancelled, canned, labelled as a racist, written off as a sort of far-right loonpot. But journalistically, I felt this is a subject that someone has to raise their head above the There's unsaid and untold anxiety that men are feeling in today's workplace. There's a level of discrimination.

And these diversity DEI schemes don't work. They don't even benefit women or people from minority backgrounds. And I've spent a lot of time over the years talking about men and mental health in my documentaries. And I just kept hearing from guys that I'm having a really hard time at work because I'm a guy. My career's really taken a hit.

I'm terrified I'm going to say the wrong thing, but I can't say any of this out loud. And I just thought, you know, good journalism requires airing things which are important.

And I think I'm running into a minefield.

No matter how nuanced you try and be and balanced, I think by just even saying, hey, we need to talk about white men, some people are going to look at me and say, God, you've changed. Whereas I don't think I have. You know, I've always believed in, I guess, classic values like... fairness, free speech, meritocracy.

And as a journalist calling out when billions are being spent and not working, when people are suffering and being discriminated against, even if those people who are now being discriminated against, as odd as it might sound, are some white guys.
