Host Jack Kammer, a long-time activist, author, social policy researcher, jail guard, parole & probation agent and journalist, knows how important it is for men and boys to have as many opportunities for happiness, fulfillment, acceptance and understanding as women and girls do. So far — for 60+ years — the discussion has been about ensuring all those good things for females. Now we have this podcast. We're talking about what we want and need, what stands in our way, and how to get over, under, around or through it. (Sometimes just talking can be a revolutionary act.)

EP 36 - Karyn Seitz: Helping Men and Women Overcome Some Women’s Weak Ideas of Strength

She helps men as well as women see what's going on. She helps women stop doing it and she helps men be confident and strong in making it stop. For good reason, she calls herself The Happiness Mentor.

EP 34 - John Francis, the Founding Father of Fathers Eve
Like a lot of good things, Fathers Eve was invented by accident. John Francis, the Founding Father of Fathers Eve, tells us what it is, how it happened, how it became a thing, and how you might be a part of the fun, whether you want to host your own Fathers Eve, just want to participate in Fathers Eve or whether you’re a young man wondering about your own possible future as a father. If you’d like to host a Fathers Eve event, talk to John by phone at 612 868-0745. To find a Fathers Eve event near you, visit fatherseve.com.
You can email John at johnfrancis@fatherseve.com. -
EP 33 - Mariquita Solis: Men Aren’t Perfect, But They’re Great. Women Are Great, But They’re Not Perfect.
Mariquita Solis helps women develop their power in a nice way, a friendly way, not in a female macho way, not in a sisterhood chauvinist way, not splashed with an excess of industrial girls-rule Pink. (You know the shade I mean.) Mariquita works to bring men and women together — and animals too — as partners, organically, in a way that lives and grows, free of coercive power and control or sexist hubris. She’s a strong woman in the very most powerful way. Connect with Mariquita at mariquitasolis.com.

EP 32 - An Accidental Feminist Documentary of Feminism
Today on Men Are Talking we talk with violence and Public Health expert Ed Bartlett about a documentary film that ends up not documenting what it purports to document, but in fact unwittingly serves as a sort of meta-documentary on what has become of feminism.

EP 31 - Jed Diamond: 57 Years of Helping Men
Jed Diamond began counseling men, women and couples in 1965. Since then he's worked with more than 40,000 people. With a PhD in International Health and a Masters in Social Work, he founded Men Alive in 1968 to help men live longer, healthier, happier lives. He has particular expertise in helping men eliminate the stresses they face that undermine their health and ruin their relationships. We talked about four main topics:
- The relationship between Anger and Depression in Men
- A Men's Health Initiative Jed calls The Moonshot
- The Father Wound, especially the often unnoticed Father Wounds in women
- The opportunities of The Disillusionment Stage of marriages and other long-term relationships
We also took a minute to talk about the benefits Jed has derived from almost fifty years in his men's group.
And, of course, we started off talking about our fashion choices.
The Depression assessment instrument we talked about is under the STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION? heading at https://menalive.com/resources/ebooks-quizzes-and-videos.
