    How Democrats Can Win Back Men with Mark W. Sutton

    If the past few US presidential elections have taught us anything, it is that many men do not really see themselves aligned with the values and ideals of the Democratic party. Men are currently dying 5.9 years earlier than women, are only 40% of college students, and represent 75% of the unhoused population. They are struggling on the whole and Democrats rarely decide to dive into that crisis as a talking point. Author and data analyst Mark Sutton talks with Brad about why that is happening, and what can be changed to bring men back into the fold for the Democratic Party. Mark W Sutton is the author of the new book How Democrats Can Win Back Men Book: https://amzn.to/3z3R1Iz Site: http://mark-sutton.com Substack: https://menandthe2024election.substack.com   Real Feels is Hosted, Produced, and Edited by Brad Gage Logo by Nolan Fabricius Theme song by Russell Henson

    Dustin Milligan from Schitt's Creek & Hot Frosty Talks About Masculinity

    Dustin Milligan is a man very in touch with his masculinity, and if you caught him recently as one of the winners on RuPaul’s Celebrity Drag Race - you’d see he’s clearly in touch with his femininity just as much. You might know Dustin from TV shows like Schitt’s Creek or Hot Frosty, but the guy I know above all is one who genuinely looks at the impact his life is making...and a dude who is just filled to the brim with puns. You can see the proof on his hilarious instagram account. Dustin sat down with me several months ago, right after he had shot Drag Race, to talk about why he had to cut out cannabis after 15 years, how he sees our society’s relationship to social media, and why listening is the best thing men can do right now in the wake of #MeToo. I’m so grateful he took some time to be with me, in THIS moment. Hosted and Produced by Brad Gage Guest - Dustin Milligan

    Why Do Men Hate Women?

    When I peek under the hood of a lot of content I see right now, it leads me to the wonder - do men actually just hate women? They seem to truly want to stop the progress of women's rights at every turn. But clearly, to me, it's not about biology, or MeToo, or the anti-men POV right now in the dating world. I think the actual reason is the toughest thing to face - that they hate that they're not allowed to be kind to each other or themselves because it would break the rules.

    Charles Bukowski: The Problematic Poet

    Charles Bukowski was one of the most famous and revered poets of the 20th century, but did his attitude and actions toward women negatively influence a generation of men? And is it possible to separate the art from the problematic artist?  Host Brad Gage tries his best to do just that and fails mid-podcast to find that my moral threshold doesn’t allow him to admire people who demean and abuse women (no matter how much he loves their poetry).
