What is it REALLY like to be a man in 2026?
Two years ago, I did a video replying to a simple question a woman had asked which is: What is the life experience of an ordinary man?
That video struck a nerve because I summed it up with one word:
Disposable.
Now it's 2026. So... has anything changed?
In this video, I revisit that question and examine what life looks like for men today. We talk about impossible expectations, moving goalposts, vulnerability, dangerous jobs, mental health, family court, homelessness, suicide, and why more and more men are quietly walking away from a system they believe no longer values them.
But this isn't just about what's stayed the same. It's also about what has changed.
And that change may be bigger than most people realize.
If you watched the original video back in 2024, you'll see how much of it still rings true today.
