It’s Me. Hi. I’m The Problem. It’s Me.

A rundown of some of my various bullshit personally and professionally.

I spend a lot of time writing about stuff like masculinity and infertility, and sometimes I get popped by people like “Why would anyone care about your take on these things? You’re not a public intellectual.” I am not. I’m not a thought leader either. That’s completely fair. I honestly mostly am a slightly above-average blogger who tries to be truthful and offends a lot of people in the process, and/or creates indifference. I’m also probably an asshole. Here is why I generally write about those types of things:

• I’m not very good at professional jobs. I’ve had some real wins, some real losses, some promotions, and some bad decisions. I guess I just described most people but I often feel “imposter”-y and like I have no real accomplishments relative to age. Right now I’m just working some small contracts and not generating much income.
• I can’t get my wife pregnant.

You add (1) and (2) and I’m essentially, in the eyes of modern biology, social theory, capitalism, and finance … not really a dude.

So hi. It’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me.

Let me articulate on this a little bit more. Maybe it’ll help a few people out somehow. I dunno.
