Description

I’ve been seeing a disturbing trend online where women claim that "incredible men are just average women," implying that men are simply playing catch-up to a female baseline. In this episode, I dive into the dangers of this "female supremacy" narrative and what I call the "Patriarchy Virus," which frames men as the root cause of every societal problem. I also break down why judging men by female metrics destroys relationships and discuss the immense, often overlooked effort it takes to chisel yourself into an exceptional man.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 The "Incredible Men Are Just Average Women" Narrative01:43 Introducing the Patriarchy Virus03:09 The "One Up, One Down" Relationship Dynamic05:10 Society Values What Men Contribute, Not Who They Are06:23 Identity: Community vs. Competency08:52 Why Modern Culture Demonizes Hierarchies10:04 Applying Female Metrics to Male Psychology11:50 Misandry and the Contempt for Men14:14 The Reality of Women Who Buy Into This Narrative16:03 It Is Hard to Craft Yourself Into a Great Man***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
