When Will Being a Man Be Popular Again?

Donna After Dark — Episode Two

Somewhere along the way, something broke.

We stopped celebrating men who show up steady - the protectors, the anchors, the quiet ones who hold the line when the ground shakes. We traded polarity for performance. We buried balance under buzzwords. And we created a generation of women who were told they could have it all… while being left to carry it all.

I’m one of those women.

I can own land.
I can build empires.
I can rewrite the codes - and I have.

But at what cost?

I’ve carried the roles of protector, provider, nurturer, and visionary - all at once. I’ve held the calm in the chaos, held the line when there was no one else to hold it. And somewhere deep down, I keep asking:

“When will being a Man be popular again?”

This isn’t about submission.
This isn’t about patriarchy.
This isn’t about playing small.

It’s about balance.

A woman is the multiplier. She builds the empire, raises the family, creates the vision -but without a masculine container that protects and supports her, she burns out. And we’re burning out, everywhere, silently, while society calls it “empowerment.”

In Episode Two of Donna After Dark, I’m pulling the thread on this fracture - the ache, the exhaustion, the longing for something we lost. We’re talking about the disappearance of steady masculinity, the collapse of polarity, and the cost of women holding the weight of entire worlds alone.

This one’s not soft.
It’s not polished.
And it’s definitely not comfortable.

Because until we name what’s breaking, we can’t rebuild what’s sacred.
