I don't think it's because men have become weaker.
I think it's because we've removed many of the rites of passage that once marked the transition into adulthood.
For thousands of years, cultures around the world recognized that becoming a man didn't simply happen with age. It required guidance, responsibility, challenge, reflection, and a community willing to witness the transformation.
Today, many of those traditions have disappeared.
We celebrate birthdays. We graduate from school. We get jobs.
But who teaches us how to become men of integrity? Who helps us navigate purpose, responsibility, grief, fatherhood, failure, or service?
Too often, we're left to figure it out alone.
When initiation disappears, many people remain caught between adolescence and adulthood—not because they lack potential, but because no one ever helped them cross the threshold.
That's why I created Men's Rite of Passage.
Not to tell men who they should be.
But to create a space where we can explore who we're becoming—with honesty, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
What do you think?
Are modern men missing something our ancestors understood?
