EP232: Jack Donovan - The Way Of Men

"If men can't articulate what masculinity is, like what they think is good about it, they are just going to get run over by these people who've spent years studying gender theory." 

Strength, courage, mastery, and honour form a solid framework for understanding masculinity. These traits aren't trends or preferences; they are patterns that show up across cultures and eras because they emerge from how men survive, protect, and cooperate. Masculinity is recognized intuitively, measured against who can be relied on under pressure, and reinforced by reputation inside a group that values competence and resolve. 

Jack Donovan explain how strength and courage establish trust, mastery earns respect through capability, and honour binds men together through loyalty to shared standards. When men can name these qualities clearly, they're far harder to confuse or dismantle. 

Jack is a bestselling author and cultural critic best known for The Way of Men. His work focuses on defining masculine virtues in clear, grounded terms and challenging modern narratives that deny biological and historical realities.
