It’s a mancession.
Or, as one woman put it to our guest, “men are in their flop era.” Men are lagging behind women in almost every measure of success today — from mental health, to education levels, to employment, to sexual satisfaction. What’s going on? Katelyn and Roxy are joined (once again!) by columnist and author Christine Emba to discuss this masculinity crisis — and why it should matter to women.
Plus: a dudely data dump.
GUEST:
- Christine Emba is a columnist and member of the editorial board at The Washington Post, where she wrote her viral summer column and topic today’s episode: “Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness.” She is also the author of the book “Rethinking Sex: A Provocation.”
