Man Enough yet don’t feel Man Enough to have written it.
For years I had been promoting the idea that we need to re-define masculinity, but I think I was wrong. In fact, I’m pretty sure I was wrong.
I don’t believe that men are bad, and I don’t believe that masculinity as a whole is toxic. That’s why I don’t believe we need to re-define something that has no actual definition. That isn’t going to fix things, at least it won’t for me.

After my 2017 TED Talk “Why I’m done trying to be man enough” went viral, I found myself in an interesting situation. In a matter of days, the two-minute clip of my talk had received over 50 million views on Facebook and I was getting heaps of public adoration and praise from women, while being simultaneously publicly attacked, bullied, and made fun of by men.
