Good Men Fellowship | 13 November 2026

G'day !

To start my newsletter this week, let me state that if I repeat any recommendations from previous emails, please forgive me and let me know. This is an ongoing anxiety for me; I don't want this newsletter to be tedious for you to read. I always have in the back of my mind that I might have repeated something. This just means I have a lot of these recommendations rolling around and need to get them out. I also need a system for knowing when I have actually shared something versus when it has been shared. I'm working on it.

November is widely recognized as Men's Health Awareness Month and a key focus period for men's mental health, largely driven by the global Movember campaign and, here in Australia, the Australian Men's Health Forum. It's okay to say you're not okay.

Included in this month, International Men’s Day is on 19 November is a chance to celebrate positive male role models while acknowledging ongoing challenges. This plays into the theme of my newsletter this week.

This week: unmanly behaviour, the rise of the beta-male, the global state of men and boys, talking to women and a father validating his son.
