This timely episode tackles an important topic that I’ve tried a few times to speak about. For the half of the population who are male, how are we supposed to “be a man”? In this episode 23, I make an attempt to answer this question using the same analytical lens through which I’ve dissected how we are all supposed to “be an adult.”

• 
  
• The concept of masculinity is evolving, and traditional definitions centered around being a provider, protector, and procreator are becoming outdated as women can now fulfill these roles independently.
  
• The real battle is against oneself rather than against women or other men.
  
• Discussions around toxic masculinity does not provide constructive role models for young men to emulate.
  
• Role models for healthy masculinity are scarce, with examples like Mufasa from “The Lion King” and Keanu Reeves being cited for their positive traits and authenticity.
  
• Societal norms around gender are largely socially constructed, and men can redefine masculinity in ways that break away from outdated conventions.
  
• Be aware of your inherent power and strength, using it to uplift and support others rather than to intimidate or harm.
  
• Being a good man is synonymous with being a good person, regardless of gender.
  
• Identify role models who exhibit desirable qualities and strive to emulate them in daily life.
  
• Everyone has a unique path to happiness and success, and it’s essential for individuals to recognize their potential for growth and improvement over time.
