Quick! What comes to mind? What do you believe about manliness and do you think your beliefs are right? Are they shared by most men and women?
It's a Man's World
That was a cliché, but it's becoming less true, and this makes many men uncomfortable.
A friend of mine took his two sons to Disney World a couple years ago and was quite upset about the experience because the rides and characters were mostly oriented to young girls.And his two boys were lucky to have him. A doting father who is there to help them navigate all of the changing mores of our time. However, too many young boys are not as fortunate. Their fathers are absent.
But where are the Fathers?
The stats are overwhelming. When it comes to single parent households most times it is the mother who is on deck, and the father is barely if ever present. And young boys are growing into young men without a male figure to help them figure out what it means to be a man, from a man.
Enter the Manly Man Series
Founded by Alvin Brown a Jamaican son, now native to Trinidad, the Manly Man Series is intended to help young men create a strong foundation for themselves as men in the rapidly evolving narrative of what it means to be a man, in a world where women are demanding complete equality.
The Manly Man Series encourages youth, in particular young men, to be responsible members of society through discussions, animations and other media. This series explores topical issues affecting men; from bullying in schools, to anger management, to dealing with loss. We encourage men to behave responsibly and to take their place in their homes and society in general. In so doing they will become better men. A show for fathers, brothers, sons and the women who love them.
