"In the video, which is, I have to say, pretty validating—also, his sing-song jingle ‘Shitty, shitty feminist—oooh” will never, ever leave your brain—Mann explains the moment he realized he wasn’t pulling his weight around the house or with his son, Jupiter (I know, just go with it).
Jupiter was a few months old, and Mann, on his way back from a run, decided he felt like going to see a movie, so he called his wife Juliana to ask. In the horror movie version of this moment, women everywhere are like, For the love of God, put down the phone, go straight home, help that lady with the baby, but he didn’t.
Juliana did that thing we’ve all done, telling him it was cool with her when it really wasn’t. After he got back a few hours later, probably feeling pretty great from all that exercise and alone time, they fought.
Most of us have been there. The difference here is that Mann actually realized he was being kind of a louse, and then was willing to take that admission public in the hopes of starting a dialogue about how hard this stuff can be. So I talked to him about it."

Watch this video! Such a great model of a guy like thinking about what he's doing and working on himself because he's actually listening to a woman while developing his feminist allyship.
That description makes it sound horrible, but it's so good, I promise.
"I'm a grown ass man and I'm fully capable of taking on way more than I do, improving as I go"
