    Raised By Women Who Hate Men - The Modern Man's Mother Wound

    I break down what I call the modern man’s mother wound - how growing up with a deep distrust or disdain for men can shape a man’s identity, relationships, and sense of self. I explore how this wound forms, how it shows up in adult life, and why so many men struggle with boundaries, authority, and male relationships as a result. Most importantly, I walk you through practical, grounded steps you can take to reclaim your masculinity and build a stronger, more integrated sense of who you are as a man.

    Is It Hard To Turn A Boy Into A Man?

    I unpack why turning a boy into a grounded, capable man has become so difficult in modern culture. I talk about the loss of initiation, the erasure of strong male role models, and the mistake of trying to repress male aggression instead of teaching men how to master it.

    Are Incredible Men Just Average Women?

    I’ve been seeing a disturbing trend online where women claim that "incredible men are just average women," implying that men are simply playing catch-up to a female baseline.
