This week in the Man Cave, we ask the uncomfortable question: Are we bad because we’re men? We dig into what it means to be a “good man” today—and who even gets to decide. Is it our dad? Our pastor? The algorithm? The culture that tells us we’re either predators or protectors?

We talk Titanic, testosterone, and the trap of tying masculinity to pain, silence, or dominance. We name how traditional manhood shaped us—for better or worse—and what we’re finally ready to let go of.

Spoiler: Real manhood isn’t rage or repression. It’s self-responsibility, humility, and healing. And yes, you can be strong, feel things, and still lead your family without turning into a dictator.

Turns out, being a good man isn’t about being “man enough.”
 It’s about being whole.
