It is interesting trying to write for men. Women are much more supportive of each other, and will generally listen, read, or offer encouragement in this medium (internet forums). They also seem to seek support through connection more than men.

Anyway, if you want to reach men, frankly, I'd drop obvious feminist angles. Instead, simply be supportive of men. Lift them up, just as women do for each other. All the time. Trust that you're not going to revert to any chest-thumping, alpha-male caricature of yourself, rather that you are fully capable of connecting to decency without looking through the feminist lens.

I'd be happy to take a look at it as a draft...
