It’s the new year and it’s game time! We’re starting off the year identifying MASKulinity in the songs we (kind of) know and love in our new game Paroles de Patriarchy!! Podbrother and host of Modern Manhood German Villegas joins us as our resident music-head. 🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

It’s guessing-game time! Samantha had to get another game in before the end of the year, so she, Remoy, and Jake Stika, executive director and cofounder of Next Gen Men, play a lil game to reveal what they’re grateful for this year.

Is your holiday season filled with family-and-friend cheer, or is it an R&R situation? Maybe, it’s just about getting through it, and that’s OK. Our resident counselor for men, Justin Lioi, is back this week to share some tips on getting through what can be a challenging time of year.

This week, it’s part 2 with Dr. Liu! We really dive into the impact of white supremacy on men of color, how white proximity might unfairly afford them more privilege, but how that is still a merit facade.

Bringing back this very informational two-part interview with Dr. William Liu who schooled us on white supremacy, how it’s inextricably linked to MASKulinity and gender, and how ruling by consent requires a middle class with a bootstrap mentality.

It’s movie night! Remoy and Samantha give each other recommendations on current movies that explore MASKulinity in different ways: the loneliness of MASKulinity and its devastating effects on relationships.

Jeff Perera of Higher Unlearning and podbrother Jonathon Reed of Next Gen Men and Breaking the Boy Code join us to talk about how men and boys are radicalized into communities uniting in the aggrievement of manhood.
