Men, I Need and Want Your Presence

We are learning from data that men, at large, are struggling in the US--feeling more isolated, removed, depressed and disconnected. In this episode, I unpack some of the reasons why, and how women sometimes weaponize their hurt around male unavailability by talking about men as if they are useless--the trope of the buffoon husband who can't make his way around the home. Instead, I revisit the pledge for presence--inviting men in, letting the people in my life know how much their presence matters to me and how wanted they are. I also talk about what this means for women's anger--as many of you have been waiting a long time for men to show up emotionally.
