We Need More Positive Male Role Models

Heavy Conversation

There aren't enough examples of positive male role models. We made a very incomplete list of men making positive change in the world today. Check out the big (and not-so-big) guys on our list.

Beer:

Jody - Galaxy Gazer IPA, by Crux Fermentation Project, Bend, Oregon

Bruce - Guinness 0 Non Alcoholic Draught, by Guinness

I read an article discussing how Gus Walz's vulnerability is an example of positive masculinity—something we still don't see that often. Let's talk about:

  • why this is important
  • examples of positive masculinity in both plus-size and smaller folks
  • Note: there are many, many positive role models who aren't famous. We know this, but this list is specifically about people we can look up to who have a national/worldwide platform.

Examples (new and classic):

  • Mr. Rogers
  • Barak Obama
  • Dave Grohl
  • Lebron James
  • Jon Stewart
  • I really like this guy https://www.instagram.com/fit2serve1/ interesting story
  • air manatee - Jimbo
  • Zach Miko
