Masculinity can be retaught. Masculinity can be refortified.\r\n\r\nAnd society can be refortified for all to prosper. \r\n\r\nThis doesn’t happen in the measurement of years.\r\n\r\nThis happens through one’s daily practice as a man.\r\n\r\nThese actions make up the PRAXIS of man.\r\n\r\nThe Blood & Rain Podcast\r\n\r\nEpisode 31\r\n\r\nThe Praxis of Man\r\n\r\nEnjoy.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/u6hl8fuwwB18Aywm2kAv2kp28Yj8htMvLszwTACyDnM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIxNzE3LzE2MjI3/NzQ5ODktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
