Ep. 102: Dad Guild— Lonely Men, Public Anger, and Holding Two Truths at Once
Mon Feb 02 2026
In this episode of Resilience Radio, a representative of the Dad Guild discusses the tension surrounding conversations about lonely men, public anger, and social responsibility. Rather than choosing sides, the conversation explores how multiple truths can exist at once — acknowledging harm while still recognizing isolation and unmet needs.
Key topics include:
✅ Why discussions about lonely men provoke such strong backlash
✅ The difference between compassion and excusing harmful behavior
✅ How social narratives collapse nuance into blame or denial
✅ Why "both things can be true" is psychologically difficult
✅ The emotional and social costs of ignoring isolation
This episode focuses on understanding the problem space — cultural, emotional, and psychological — before moving into meaning-making and integration in a follow-up conversation.
