This week, we're nailing bitches and battlin' bros...it's all about toxic masculinity!
[And if you're completely new...uhm...we're not fans of toxic masculinity. Gorilla Shawn is currently at DisneyWorld and Gorilla Christopher just helped his wife of 27+ years with the lunchtime dishes...]
Anyway, here's what we talk about this time around:
- When did you first hear about toxic masculinity?
- Growing up, were there toxic males close to you in life? Who? (And how do you think that affects boys?)
- Why do you think toxic masculinity exists?
- Have you ever been a toxic male? How?
- Is the very term "toxic masculinity" too broad a term? (i.e. Is it too easy to just dispel anything one doesn't like as toxic?)
- What do you think about those who say this is all blown out of proportion -- that men are just being men?
- How do you think we combat those who say it's all just the way men are?
- Can a guy be both tough but tender without being labeled toxic?
- Do you think the current political state plays a role in toxic masculinity? How?
- It seems there are always new reports coming out about men and loneliness. What role do you think toxic masculinity plays in that?
- Why do you think there's such a push-back by toxic males against the concept of toxic masculinity?
- What is the future of toxic masculinity?
