Welcome back, brave men. Welcome to Man Up, episode number two. Being a real man means, well, accepting the fact that I might have missed something or misunderstood or heard the implied subtext instead of the actual words of truth. You know, some listeners will be offended or assume it's not true because it's not the way they learn. Bravery?

    6. Bravery is never easy, but we're men, we can deal with that. First, we need to get smarter. If you find yourself tearing up, you just need to let that come out. Turns out, Crying is a sign of processing emotion and stress while solving problems in real time. Crying is actually a good sign, and that means smart men tear up a lot, especially in these days and times. In other words, men, don't let your ego go wild. Keep it leashed. and in the box. The truth is, women have a lot more evolutionary modifications that men don't have. Women are biologically smarter strategists, and they're faster thinkers than men. They make better leaders, and they have better teams. Early man operated on women's schedule because birth was magic. And guess what? It still is magic. But that's not all. Turns out, Women and men both have dendrites.

    9. These are tendril connection lines from our body to our brains. The size of a woman's dendrites are huge and complex thicker dendrites. And this allows them to instantly strategize on the second and manage stress no matter how phenomenally complex, complicated, or threatening the problem may seem. If a woman tells me her idea is better, I follow directions. Guess what? I succeed. I owe all of my success to women. If you could apologize to all the women for the rest of your life, for how bad men have been at leadership and accountability, that apology would be a small start in the right direction.

    12. And it's always the woman behind the man that makes the man successful. I heard that my whole life. I never forget that. Women are the only ones who give birth and now science has proven they could easily become a parthenogenic species. What if men acting stupid leads humanity to abandon men to reach something better? Evolution don't care if you don't wanna do it. You just smile and go, mm -hmm, tomorrow's gonna be a different day. Men must change whether we want to or not. We have no choice. Men need to collaborate better with women. Leaving everything as it is is a choice for wealthy men idiots. Capitalism clearly isn't working. The planet is dying from our terraforming with waste and lack of forethought. Men do a shitty job on their own. Look at the last 4 ,000 years. I mean, tell me I'm wrong. Whereas women are biologically designed to find the fun answer in everything and make it work for...
