"It's [the 'manosphere'] an appealing message, because on the surface the message is, what we're offering is freedom. We're offering you freedom to be a man again, to be a young dude–it's okay, you don't have to watch your language, it's not so tense[...]. But the reality is, it's a bait and switch. Because they sell you freedom, but when they pull you into the movement it's restrained. It's, 'you have to act a certain way. It's the only way to be a man. You can't act like this, you can't look like this. That's 'weak', that's 'soft'."
In this powerful conversation with speaker, writer and facilitator Jeff Perera, our hosts take a deep dive into the influences that shape our ideas of gender and masculinity; as well as how to build and train your emotional muscle and develop emotional literacy. There are so many pockets of practical wisdom in the episode, don't miss this one!
