When we think of an all male group chat, does your mind wander to places of toxicity, misogyny and overall bad behavior? or does it go to a place where people find a community, where guys lift each other up, and police their language? Well it can be both. Let’s explore how the group chat is today’s digital third place, and how men and boys have fou…

No body that I know had a good first Sex Ed talk. How did we as a society mess this up so much? How did we take a very fundamental part of human life, our sexuality, and teach it like we were scared of it. Or treat it like a side dressing when in many cases it’s the main meal. This is especially true for young men, who at about the age of 10 are st…

The MetGala happened and we saw the looks the controversy, the dresses and the styles. Looking at this event, it reminds us of the conversations we had in the Inner Circle about fashion, about pink shoes, and dresses, and maybe how men's fashion (and fashion in general) can be restrictive. Or is it? What makes it restrictive? Is this a fashion prob…

Spiritualists and spiritualist groups will have their say in most of men's conversations.
