So many men say the first six months, I don't have a purpose.

I don't know what to do.

She's doing the breastfeeding.

I'm like, how much more is there, you know, in life that you can step up for?

And I think that's when I consider healthy manhood today.

I believe that idea of like,

leveraging some of the beautiful traditional ideas of altruism and service and loyalty.

And it's mattering.

We talk about the fact that many men feel like they don't matter.

You will be seen and you will be valued if you can do that quiet work.

And I think that...

Lots of dads really realize that because they get that benefit.

You know, I just hope we get to the point where men aren't walking down the street with a pram and everyone's like, oh, look at him babysitting.

You know, what a clap for changing a nappy.

We need to move the bar much higher.

Our expectations of men, you know, it's sullied.

There is this alarmist.

critical idea of this epidemic of everything going wrong and how are you actually going to galvanize men towards progress if you are not telling them where they should be going there's a lot of what not to do there's lots of toxicity there's lots of brokenness and deficiency there is very little growth there is very little aspiration and i think that if we whether it's the media whether it's research whether it's health systems education systems to help them flourish

I think it is...

wishful thinking to believe that we're going to, and this is really what the social media ban, it was this idea that we're just gonna get men out into the streets, these young guys, and they're gonna touch grass, and they're gonna start riding bikes, and we're gonna go back to the good old days.
