Luna's fed up and outraged by the world and by the silence of men and non-femmes.    But what are we to do? Well, maybe the Amazonians (the fictional but historically based matriarchial society of womxn warriors) had it right.  It's time for a real life Themyscira.  As misogyny, transphobia, and toxic masculinity continue to terrorize folks - from the repeal of Roe v. Wade, to mass shootings, to the ongoing rise of fascist white-supremacist christian nationalists - Luna's building a whole new society. But are the Meh's - Eric, Glenn, and Ben, even invited?

This episode feels like warm apple pie, a night cap with your closest friends, or an exploratory conversation with your nearest and dearest as you gaze up at the stars.  In our fourth installment, hosts Eric, Glenn, & Ben explore everything from grieving to joy under the structures of masculinity, while producer and Joy Channel vibe officer Luna chimes when she can't hold back anymore.  Listen and play along to Eric's intro game, and learn and grow along with what we hope feels like your new friends, the MehSculinity team. 

Masculinity Cosmic topics, are you red, yellow or green, bruh?

Ben models vulnerability and shares about his experience with grieving,

Glenn raises thoughtful questions about the structures of masculinity

Eric, proudly announces the gay agenda. 

Luna asks, "Who Does This All Serve"? 

The Joy Channel's very own Beyoncé (Eric Fleming), Kelly (Glenn Carrere) and Michelle (Ben Stevens) are joined by a very, very, special guest, filmmaker and actor Aden Hakimi, who raises the question - are we talking about masculinity or misogyny?  Throughout the conversations, our hosts and guests share vulnerably and humorously about their experiences with the intersections of physical safety and masculinity - and how body size & shape and expression often lend itself to feelings of more or less safety.  This all leads up to the debuting of Eric's new game: "Is this Masc, Bruh?".  Play along at home and maybe think once or twice about buying a masc- person in your life some flowers.
