One of the worst things a man can be called, is a disappointment. We live in abject fear of disappointing people around us all our lives. We don’t want to disappoint our parents when we’re young, so we feel pressure to take the courses & careers that they decide for us. As we grow up. we’re afraid of disappointing our friends. That’s called peer pressure. And we end up trying stupid shit like smoking and drinking games & dares & stuff. We get into a lot of trouble. And then it’s the turn our girlfriends. We want to be good boyfriends. We want to fulfil their wishes. We don’t want to disappoint them because we fear we’ll lose them, or lose our value to them, or for our own male ego. But we don’t realise that by doing this, we’re actually sabotaging ourselves and our relationship. I might not know the secret of success, but I do know the secret of failure. It is to try and please everybody. So in this episode, I’m going to teach you the skill of being a disappointment.

With this episode, I wade into unnecessarily controversial waters by opening a dialogue on Feminism. Why is it so demonised by some men? And how can an understanding of Feminism make us better as men? Litsen in and let's chat. A big shout out to Rohan Arora of IRL - In Real Love (Netfilx) fame, for creating the lovely new musical bed for Mencyclopedia.
