In this episode, I speak with Warren Farrell about the boy crisis, the changing relationship between men and women, and why so many young men feel increasingly disconnected from purpose, family, work, and society. We explore Farrell’s journey from being one of the world’s most prominent male supporters of feminism to becoming one of its strongest critics, and examine the data behind some of the most contentious claims about gender, domestic violence, pay, and male privilege.

Drawing on decades of research into men, women, relationships, and family life, we discuss masculinity, male obligation, fatherhood, emotional resilience, marriage, divorce, and the changing expectations placed on men. Along the way, we examine why boys are falling behind in education, why men face higher rates of suicide and many other causes of death, and how the loss of traditional male roles has created a growing crisis of purpose and identity.

The conversation turns to what young men can do in response. We discuss pornography, addiction, distraction, competence, responsibility, mentorship, community, and the importance of finding ways to be useful to others. We also explore the role of fathers, the importance of learning to handle criticism, and what men and women can do to build healthier relationships.
