some hot reads

Here’s a look into what I’ve been reading and thinking about recently:

“Today’s Problem With Masculinity isn’t What You Think," by Benjamin Sledge really feels like it’s tackling an important dimension of the #metoo movement. The cultural conditioning we’ve all been through to get to this point means we can’t forget the male experience.

We’ve all got wounds to heal collectively and men have also been handed a raw deal. Not every guy is an alpha (thank god). I love Benjamin’s take on how the Alpha male personality gets passed along. I hope he continues to dig into this work.

Reading this piece reminded me of “Cat Person” Kristen Roupenian’s exceptional viral short story from the December 4, 2017 issue of The New Yorker, which really rocked me (and basically every female) to my core. If you haven’t already read “Cat Person,” drop everything and do that RN.

If you want to get super depressed but also impressed by youth - this profile on CLIMATE BOSS GRETA THUNBERG from New York Mag will change you. Honestly, I am not even sure I want to tell you my thoughts after reading it. I’m rethinking EVERY SINGLE THING. Greta is incredible.

What are y’all reading?
