  1. Great panel and host! I really loved to see how men in here are deconstructing. Thanks Griffin for standing with women and different identities throughout the entire thing. “Be the exception. If you’re worried about being put into a box (…) then don’t do that.”

  2. Don’t you find it weird how vice allows people to comment on the video about masculinity, but not on the video about Feminism. Be perspicacious enough to see what’s going on and escape the matrix.

  3. Men have higher suicide rates? Men have high incarceration rates? I'll take this to the women who shut this guy up in the middle video " who set that system up"

  4. What it means to be a man? the definition has been diluted or weakened to where you would think that men and women are the same. Men now are softer while women are harder. Its just backwards and those who have been persuaded to somehow become less than from whatever society has pushed them to be… I feel sorry for them

  5. The last time we as a society witnessed real men was during the Twin Towers terrorist attacks on 9/11 in their heroic attempts to save lives by running into chaos. Since then, men have become pussies.

  6. The problem with comparing this video to the women's one is that the questions are fundamentaly different. The men were asked "What does it mean to be masculine/a man?". The women were asked "what does it mean to be a feminist?" Those questions aren't even analogous.

  7. Interesting conversation, I would have loved there to be a trans man, more queer people and some younger men on the panel. I think the conversation may have been slightly different. I loved Griffins point of view and how intelligently they shared it.

  8. Gotta love how there were ACTUALLY MEN on this panel. Women again get over shown, being that there were two men on the feminism panel. Stop trying to take away real female experiences.

  9. Honestly this whole panel just emphasized how much of a scam the construct of gender really is. All of the positive “masculine” attributes that any of them raised are really just things all humans should have. Providing, taking responsibility, mental well-being? Those are for important for ALL of us!

  10. I think Men historically have been god fearing and self sacrificing for many generations. They also faced high risks and dangers everywhere for them and their family. Now men live in safer worlds that is also mostly godless. They find themselves lost because of this.
