  • Has Masculinity Changed?
    Jun 26 2026

    This week, Robert couldn't say 'No' when his daughter asked to paint his nails 'Mermaid Sparkle Blue', and he was pleasantly surprised by the public reaction. As a result, Robert wanted to tell Kyle about his experience as a loud and proud Girl Dad and ask whether the concept of masculinity has changed over the years. From ancient cultures to modern times, masculinity (and femininity) has been in constant flux. We discuss Spartans and Athenians, the cultural icons of past generations, and what it is like to be Girl Dads in the modern age. Tune in for some very fun and goofy stories peppered through a chat on a normally dry and serious topic. As always, thank you for listening!
