"We have begun to raise our daughters to be more like sons.  But few have the courage to raise our sons to be more like daughters."  -Gloria Steinam

Under a patriarchal system, as boys develop, they are encouraged away from warmth, relating, and emotional awareness/expression, and equality, and are instead encouraged toward power, dominance, anger, and hierarchy.  In this episode, hosts Lois and Stephanie use bell hooks' book "The Will To Change" to frame a discussion the damage patriarchy does to both men and women...and what we can all do to stop it.
