Introducing "Real Men Don’t Go Woke," the New Book Reclaiming Masculine Identity.
Men are an endangered species. They are four times more likely to die by suicide than women, their life expectancy is declining, and their depression and loneliness are skyrocketing. Our culture pushes men to reject traditional masculinity as “toxic” while offering a “woke” alternative that demands weakness and silence. Women lament the loss of “Real Men,” yet why should men step up when the world castrates, cancels and crushes their efforts. Men are struggling to define themselves.
Real Men Don’t Go Woke challenges the status quo, drawing wisdom from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. It provides a new brand of male strength that uses intellect and vulnerability. With a roadmap for emotional resilience and authentic expression, this book sparks a movement to proudly reclaim masculine identity and build a future where men will thrive.

“Real Men Don’t Go Woke” is brilliant. I lost my income, my employment, my investments, and a long-term relationship with a woman I loved. These things occurred within a week of each other. It was your book and your Gilda-Grams that helped me stay resilient and not go off the rails. Many men, including me, have skepticism when a woman steps into a man’s shoes, attempting to write about the most intimate and difficult emotions and scenarios that men experience. But despite not being male or having lived the male experience, you demonstrate tact, understanding, wit, and most of all empathy towards the men you write about. I intend to book you for a consultation. Your work is partly the reason I decided to stay alive.

“I’m really intrigued by your book “Real Men Don’t Go Woke.” I’m still a man, But I am considering myself more and more a nonbinary. Because what I see as the narrative from men is quite toxic and I don’t want to be a man anymore.”

“Dr. Gilda, your book, Real Men Don’t Go Woke, is amazing. As a woman, YOU are “allowed” to talk about this topic, but as a straight, cisgendered white man, I’ve already been discriminated against at work for standing up for myself. So, thank you for writing this!”

“I was what I thought was a ‘Real Man’ for most of my life, hiding serious depression and a 30-year plan to kill myself if my faux macho reputation as a lawyer was ever threatened. Only by the grace of God am I here today. Get the mental health treatment that will allow you to finally enjoy your life.”
—Bruce Simpson, Trial Lawyer, Army Vet, MSW, Survivor of Attempted Suicide, Mental Health Advocate/Keynote Speaker
“Been there, almost done that 45 years ago when men were supposed to be men (and I was, believe me). BUT I had just gotten divorced, and everybody was blaming me. I stood on the damned wall at midnight with a shotgun. But I remembered that a man is supposed to be tough, resilient, and can stand tall regardless. Today, I have a great wife of 43 years, strong faith, and I love my life.”

“This is the awakening of the ‘boy child.’ Bravo, Dr. Gilda.”
