Is “masculinity” a bad thing? Our teenage son asked once when he was trying to make sense of all the things.I think his question is something we are asking as a collective as well.

Join us for this engaging conversation about masculinity with Dr. Brendan Kwiatkowski from @‌re.masculine.
We explore:
-What restrictive masculinity is
-What is missing from the idea of “toxic masculinity”
-3 of the most harmful beliefs about masculinity
-Negative health outcomes of restrictive masculinity
-Surprising results from his research regarding emotional sensitivity in males
-What the difference is between understanding restrictive masculinity vs. tolerating/coddling abusers
-Positive framework for masculinity moving forward
We feel this episode is SUCH a needed conversation and are so thankful @‌re.maculine was willing to have it with us.
