Welcome to Make Men Emotional Again
Hi, I’m Jeremy Mohler, LCPC, a licensed therapist helping men and couples and a writer in the labor movement. My writing has appeared in the Washington Post, Jacobin, the Guardian, and elsewhere.
Being a man today is confusing. We’re told that we take up too much space. Yet also that we don’t talk enough about our emotions.
We’re told that it’s “natural” and “traditional” for us to take charge and provide for ourselves and others. Yet it’s clear that plenty of women are capable of that too.
Many of us reject the unhealthy version of masculinity being sold to us by powerful politicians, billionaires, and “manfluencers.” Yet, it feels impossible to find a way of being a man that feels healthy and positive.
Make Men Emotional Again is a newsletter where I bring my experience as a therapist to helping men create healthier relationships, deeper friendships, and more community.
It’s also a community—as much as anything on social media can be a “community”—of men figuring this out together. Because if there’s anything I’ve learned being a therapist, it’s that we can’t do anything worthwhile alone.

Your $5 a month (or $50 a year) helps pay for my house, internet, computer, books, and other things I need to keep this project going. It allows me to not have to see so many therapy clients every week, which tends to burn me out.
It also contributes to the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), an organization working to win respect, recognition, and labor rights for nannies, housecleaners, and homecare workers, to which I give 5 percent of my earnings from this newsletter each month.
If you can’t afford a subscription, email me with a request to be on the list. I’ll give you a subscription, no questions asked.
