Do Men Still Need Heroes?

from Walking and Talking with Henry Hosted by Henry L Sullivan III and Kristine Madera

Every superhero story needs a villain. Every rescue needs someone who couldn't save themselves. Every man who feels powerful has to feel powerful compared to somebody. What if that's the problem? After "Superman Replaces God," Kristine pushed back: reviving the hero archetype in a country already threatened by women's gains doesn't empower anyone — it just decides who gets to be the one with power. Henry thinks the psychology is real and ignoring it is how we got here. Kristine thinks the whole frame is a false choice, and the better answer is both/and. Join Henry Sullivan and Kristine Madera as they ask whether men still need heroes — and what it costs everyone else when they do. Friday, September 4th. This is a public episode.
