FATHERHOOD & MODERN MASCULINITY. Having sired 13(!) children between them, Chris Mikolay, Matt Jordan and 3Q3D newcomer Ed Fink discuss how their concept of masculinity has changed as they reach middle age, the most difficult challenges they’ve faced as fathers, and the wisdom they hope to pass on to their kids.

It turns out even the toughest guys can be *gulp* tender.
