Toxic Masculinity or Inscrutable Men? | Of Men | Episode 15

In "Of Men", Tolkien gives us the first glimpse into Man-Elf relations--and it wasn't all toxic at first (just inscrutable!).

Join Jonathan, Michael, and Dan as they talk Chapter 12 of The Silmarillion, and--as usual-- again test their Tolkien aptitude with "All that is gold does not glitter" (thanks to our Patron, Naia!).
