This episode is for the guys. In “Man Talk,” Kevin gets real about the unique and often unaddressed challenges of being a disabled man in America today.
In a society that holds a narrow view of masculinity, many disabled men feel emasculated by simple acts, like having a door opened for them. The conversation goes beyond the superficial, diving into deeper fears that are rarely discussed openly—fears about being helpless around a partner, and the anxieties that come with financial disparities in a relationship
Kevin also tackles the ableist idea that people with disabilities should only date other people with disabilities, comparing it to an “ableistic” version of racial segregation
He offers an honest perspective on how dating a non-disabled person means your “honeymoon phase” as a couple will be burst almost immediately when you are in public and have to face the world together.
This episode is a confidence boost for all men with disabilities, a reminder that you are valuable and you can go after what you want.
