We’ve been told the story for decades. The numbers say something different. There’s a narrative that runs deep in how we talk about parenting. Mothers are instinctive. Fathers are supplementary. And when families break apart, the assumption is that children are better off with mum. It’s a comfortable story. It’s also one the data keeps...
Most men don’t fail at becoming rich because of bad luck. They fail because of their habits, their mindset, and the quiet decisions they make every day. The uncomfortable truth is this: the average man is designed to stay average. From a young age, men are taught to play it safe. Go to school, get...
For most of human history, the dynamic between men and women was not equal—but it was stable. Each side understood its role, its leverage, and its expectations. Men operated under a powerful assumption: that women were more virtuous, more emotionally pure, and, in some sense, deserving of protection and belief.

Certain situations are easier to judge when you are on the outside looking in. I’ve always been judgmental to men who leave their kids behind and never create a bond with them. I’ve always perceived life from a place of privilege because I had both parents until the end and obviously had no understanding of...
During my single state of affairs, I had the opportunity to ask this one lady I was conversing with: “What kind of man do you want?” This question was one of those questions I totally was not interested in the answer for, but they are a prerequisite to the start of a relationship, affair, hook...
For the past few years, masculinity has been put on trial. Everywhere you look—social media, mainstream conversations, even boardrooms—the word “masculinity” is often paired with “toxic.” It’s become easy to blame men for aggression, emotional distance, or societal issues.
