Death, Sex & Money | Manhood: It’s Complicated

Six and a half years ago, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, we
asked our listeners how they think about manhood–how to be, what’s
hard, where they feel lost. Fast forward to 2025, and the norms and
trends around manhood are even more varied and complicated. So we
thought it would be a good time to revisit the stories from 2018
and provide updates on some of the men we heard from. If you are a
man, or are raising a man, or love a man, and want to share more
about what you’re noticing about mixed signals about manhood and
masculinity today and where you get stuck, record a voice memo and
send it to us at deathsexmoney@slate.com.  Death, Sex &
Money is now produced by Slate! To support us and our colleagues,
