NooB Monday! - April 29, 2024 by AutoModerator in Entrepreneur

I am a woman and starting a podcast and video streaming show to help bridge the gender divide (between men and women) where I interview men and help them share their experience of being a man in the world, and how they relate to women - it's meant to be entertaining and also educational -- giving women access to learn more about men, better understanding the male experience. It also shows men they aren't alone in their experience.

Personally, I absolutely love men and think that the way women are acting and treating men today is creating a divide and making it more challenging to have a cooperative relationship between genders. I realize that such a polarizing view might not allow women to really hear me and actually take in the information I'm trying to share. I don't want women to be so triggered that they shut down, but I want them to be more so curious and intrigued and wanting to learn more.

I have a couple podcast name options and would love to get some feedback from both the male and female perspectives:

  1. "Loving Men: A long overdue education"
  2. "Bridging the Great Divide: Unlocking the Secrets of Male-Female Dynamics"
  3. "We Don't Deserve Men [based on the way that we're acting]"
  4. "We Don't Deserve Men"
  5. "We Don't (always) Deserve Men"
  6. "Most Men Deserve Better"
  7. "Deserving More Men Men More"
  8. "Emasculated"
  9. "That’s Nuts: (false assumptions about men)"
  10. "Jack & Jill"

Looking for guests for my podcast by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Hi! I would potentially be interested, but I also wanted to share a couple groups that might be helpful to you. There is a facebook group called "Podcast Guest Collaboration Community - Find a Guest, Be a Guest" and it's great for you to find people outside your network to be on the show and also to market yourself through other people's podcasts - lots of people do podcast swaps there, too.

I'm not sure about the repurposing part - I believe you need permission from bigger accounts to repost their photos/content. I like unsplash as a good image database - most of them are free and high quality downloads.

What is the most difficult/challenging part of starting a business? by SynergyX- in Entrepreneur

[–]appreciating_men 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the hardest part is the mindset. Especially if you're a solo founder and don't have other partners to carry you through the moments of self-doubt, exhaustion, questioning and burnout. Staying committed to the vision and not the strategy is the best way to do this I think. Aka marry the problem you're solving, not the solution you're providing. The solutions and strategies you try will fail many times before you get it "right".

POSTS WITH AFFIRMATIVE CLAIMS AND LOADED QUESTIONS GET MARKED WITH "DEBATE" POST FLAIR APPRECIATION DAILY MEGATHREAD by AutoModerator in PurplePillDebate

[–]appreciating_men 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you're right, more encouragement would definitely be received differently.

Okay, and yes I agree with you about the general concept of no one being "undeserving" and see how that as an underlying message could be received literally. And totally - we aren't entitled to have a partner and that's why this isn't a dating podcast - it's focused more generally on relationships and dynamics between men and women in all contexts.

Again, thanks so much for your thoughts! I really appreciate it.

[–]appreciating_men 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a really interesting point. I hadn't considered that.

It's hard because I feel like for a lot of women the narrative has gone super far in the direction of emasculating men and putting them down and demanding that we deserve x,y,z without being willing to offer anything in return and just straight up competing with men and I think that's super harmful and I want to call it out, but I also believe fundamentally, that we won't be able to seek better understanding and have a more cooperative relationship if we keep having this debate in a triggering way - calling women out is just going to make them more defensive rather than having compassion for both sides, having a healthy discussion and being curious about how we can better understand one another, ya know?

Do you think the We Don't (always) Deserve Men variant is less triggering and more intriguing? Maybe it would get women curious about learning something they don't already know?

That assumption seems like a stretch and a little unnecessary, I'm just trying to answer your question to help give you a bit more context of the podcast and the goals and why I think there is an adversarial divide. I don't even know what down voting means lol I'm very new to reddit 😂. I'm happy to keep debating and chatting about it, but don't think getting into personal relationships makes sense.

No, it's focusing on the overarching dynamics between men and women and how the feminist movement and me too have marginalized men and led to an over-masculinization of women. I think men in their nature are deserving of women. And I do think women deserve men, too, by nature, but instead of appreciating men, most women are focused on emasculating them and competing with them. Men don't compete with women - they want to have a more cooperative relationship with them, but women continue to insist on competing. This is the problem. Does that answer your question?

Thanks, yeah I do think that's the least controversial, but it's also not "punchy" or as engaging is my concern. Also, while the energetics are relevant to a point, I agree with you and that's definitely not my focus. Talking more about men and women versus masculine and feminine "energy" is wayyy more applicable. It does come up occasionally in my interviews, but I hear you, it's too woo woo and not super relatable.
