POPULARITY
As the 2024 election heats up, it's easy to assume that hyper-masculine, even toxic masculinity, messaging is resonating across America. But a new Pew Research report tells a different story. After digging in with report creator Juliana Horowitz and Next Gen Men's Trevor Mayoh, Samantha uncovers some surprising truths. Here's where Samantha reveals the real story behind Americans' views on masculinity. Remoy was surprised, to say the least…First Juliana opens up to how the “How Americans See Men and Masculinity” report came out of a more general curiosity, but as the election shifted into a more gendered race, the importance of the research became increasingly clear.Using the report as a jump off, Samantha runs a few questions by Remoy:First: Samantha asked Remoy what he thought when he heard of the association between the American public and the terms: caring, open about their emotions, soft-spoken, or affectionate?Second: She asked him how Americans felt about men pursuing non “traditional” norms: staying home to raise the kids, women paying for the date, men taking a woman's last name in marriage?Third: How do Americans feel about actions that depict Toxic Masculinity?Fourth: Do Americans feel like there's a backlash against men who are manly or masculine?The answers? They're not so cut and dry as you may think with a lot more parity across the aisle. Why?Juliana suggests that generally speaking there's much more nuance to Americans' beliefs and thinking. Especially in contrast to the loud political noise we constantly see and hear.Trevor makes a point that it's the sport of American politics, the tribalism of how it's waged, that unfortunately may disregard a lot of that nuance.Trevor shares what he's experienced with men in his work as a diversity, inclusion and violence prevention consultant. How he encounters a lot of men who are hurting in a variety of ways: work anxieties, stress, expectations to meet the highest standards of what it means to be husband or father. And in the midst of all that, how the larger culture hasn't given men the tools to ask for help to process all these intense expectations.Then he goes on to unpack how that can be exacerbated in highly masculine spaces– how men could actually possess a lot of that nuance Juliana shared in her report –but there's a pack mentality in those intense social environments that doesn't allow men to easily share their discouragements.Remoy wonders if all of this is what can create a culture of “Aggrieved Entitlement.”Does Remoy know what that really is? Nope. Luckily Samantha helps guide the way, defining what that experience is along with how mens' perceptions of women's ascent plays a role in building that entitled foundation.Juliana brings some light to it all by giving a better view of what Americans perceive of the progress women have made in the last 20 years and how that may be affecting the aforementioned entitlement.Trevor reveals how that entitlement, yes, has become a tool for American players like Trump, but is also a larger global culture. How it's more of a larger populist appeal that exploits men's insecurities amidst deeply entrenched gender norms.Trevor leaves Samantha and Remoy with one last take away about how maybe the greatest misunderstanding of all these political games, is that if anything, it may provide community, friendship, or just a person to share a laugh with. A rare commodity for men especially as they age.Samantha and Remoy really take this information in to gather a better understanding of how vulnerable men may be and how if this is the most vulnerable area for predation, how sad the American political environment may be.Samantha then breaks off on her own to ask Juliana more questions about the importance of the “How Americans See Men and Masculinity” report. Along the way pursuing a deeper understanding with Trevor at how to better wade through all these layers of these findings amidst the visible political situation in America.Finally, Samantha and Remoy discuss how to hold all this nuance alongside knowing we're in a fractured American political system; especially when facing the obligation to participate when the cracks are so apparent. Together they land on multiple ideas that empower each other to have faith and still fight back as part of their own civic duty.

Okið undan sjálfum mér er hreinskilinn fyrirlestur þar sem leikarinn Björgvin Franz Gíslason lýsir því hvernig hann náði að breyta eigin vinnubrjálæði yfir í innri ró og raunverulega starfsánægju, eins og hann orðar það sjálfur. Hann veltir því upp hvernig maður nær þeim árangri að verða betri starfskraftur með því að eyða færri klukkustundum í vinnunni en meiri tíma með fjölskyldu og vinum. Aðferðirnar sem Björgvin styðst við hafa verið notaðar til að þjálfa afreksíþróttafólk og forstjóra stærstu fyrirtækja heims til að öðlast betri árangri í sínu fagi sem og í lífinu. Björgvin Franz kom í þáttinn og sagði okkur betur frá þessu í dag. Við fengum svo vinkil frá Guðjóni Helga Ólafssyni í dag og í þetta sinn velti hann fyrir sér afleiðingum eldgoss á Suðurnesjum auk þess sem hleðslustöðvar fyrir rafbíla og umgengni við þær fá svolitla athygli, já og Eyvör Pálsdóttir, þó ekki söngkonan. Lesandi vikunnar í Mannlega þættinum í þetta sinn var María Hjálmtýsdóttir kynjafræðikennari og barnabókasafnari. Við fengum að vita hvaða bækur hún hefur verið að lesa undanfarið og svo hvaða bækur og höfundar hafa haft mest áhrif á hana í gegnum tíðina. María talaði um eftirfarandi bækur og höfunda: Bold fjölskyldan í klípu e. Julian Clary Serótónínendurupptökuhemlar e. Friðgeir Einarsson Ég verð aldrei ungfrú meðfærileg e.

Bienvenida, bienvenido de nuevo al podcast. Hoy traigo un análisis de la situación sociopolítica actual, una situación que he etiquetado igual que este episodio del podcast: La era del odio.

Espero que te arroje algo de luz en esta era tan sombría.

Why, come 2023, is childcare still perceived as a predominantly ‘female' domain by so many? Why is leave at the start of a child's life still very rarely shared by parents? Do we need to scrap the current system of SPL in the UK? Academics Sarah Jackson and Michael Kimmel discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
La atención mediática sobre el 8M de este 2023 mosquea. Ahora que se ha reposado el polvo de los especiales y las campañas, puede verse en crudo la presentación de los hechos: un relato de meses de luchas intestinas, devenir partido de las reivindicaciones y declinar en la fuerza “real” del movimiento feminista desde el pico de 2018. El hecho es que la realidad de las calles en el 8M desmintió todo ese trabajo de construcción de marco y bajada de línea durante meses. Así que fin del foco mediático, apaguen la luz morada y a otra cosa. Pero en Pol&Pop no queremos dejarlo pasar, así que hemos invitado a Maria Medina-Vicent, profesora de la Universitat Jaume I, de Castelló, y experta en discursos y éticas feministas, para hablar de esta cuestión. No tanto del feminismo como de sus antagonistas: los enfoques antifeministas. A nadie se le escapa la proliferación reciente de títulos y discusiones sobre este tema. Estas semanas cumple 4 años el libro de nuestras amigas de Proyecto UNA, “Leia, Rihanna y Trump. De cómo el feminismo ha transformado la cultura pop y de cómo el machismo reacciona con terror”, (Descontrol, 2019) y a este se han sumado referencias sobre todo anglosajonas, como “Hombres (blancos) cabreados: La masculinidad al final de una era” (Michael Kimmel, Barlin, 2019); el reciente “Los hombres que odian a las mujeres Incels, artistas de la seducción y otras subculturas misóginas online” de Laura Bates (Capitán Swing, 2023) u “Odio a las mujeres. Incels, malfollaos y machistas modernos” de Susanne Kaiser (Katakrak, 2022). Estos títulos describen y critican la formación de una cultura política de hombres blancos agraviados y autoenunciados como víctimas por el avance del feminismo y de otros grupos subordinados. Pero también por la crisis del modelo de bienestar y del neoliberalismo. Es decir: de sus propias expectativas de ser los primeros de la fila, como lo habían sido algunos de sus padres y sus ídolos cinematográficos. Sin embargo, si podemos elegir – y podemos elegir porque para eso el pódcast es nuestro – lo interesante es menos ese sentimiento de agravio que la manera como intentar legitimarse. Y sobre todo hacer de él una elección política. El antifeminismo no es interesante por ser un sentimiento, sino por haberse convertido en el pegamento principal de todo tipo de grupo reaccionarios, mezclado en dosis variables con aportes fundamentalistas, nacionalistas, raciales o incluso obreristas. Es esta elección política la que ha impactado sobre nuestra realidad en los últimos años y sobre la que conviene centrarse si queremos comprender los efectos de los feminismos más allá de la pura reacción y abrir las posibilidades de algo más feliz, creativo y libre que el antifeminismo. Una cadena de alianzas de los grupos recientemente desplazados del centro del tablero con los desplazados de forma tradicional en vez con los de arriba para venderse como la primera línea de defensa a cambio de parar un poco el reloj. Comenzamos.

In a 2019 Report, PEN America revealed that book restriction policies in American prisons amounted to the nation's largest book ban. These bans can come from prison-wide, state, or federal policies, and are aimed mostly at material that is deemed sexually explicit, detrimental to security or that disrupts the social order of a prison.But some of these lists can be arbitrary. Previously, books like “Freakonomics” were banned in prisons in Texas, and a federal prison in Colorado in 2009 blocked a person incarcerated from reading President Barack Obama's memoirs because they were deemed to be "potentially detrimental to national security." We spoke with Christopher Blackwell, who is incarcerated at a Washington state facility and is serving a 45 year sentence for crimes he committed in his 20s. In prison, Christopher was prohibited from reading Michael Kimmel's, “Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era.” We reached out to the Washington State Department of Corrections to hear why they denied access to the book. They said it was rejected because “The content could reasonably be thought to lead or add to tensions between groups specifically in a prison setting.” They also noted that Christopher appealed and was later granted access to the book. Today, Christopher is an incarcerated writer and a co-founder of the nonprofit Look2Justice. Last month, Christopher wrote an op-ed in the New York Times about having the right to read and to get an education in American prisons, and about his own experience with book restrictions. We spoke with him about book bans in prison, his own experience with it, and the importance of books and education for rehabilitation in prison.

In August this year Jake Davison, a 22-year-old from Plymouth, went on a shooting rampage that left six dead, including his mother and himself. In the aftermath it emerged that Davison had been a member of ‘incel' forums online. He's not the first mass shooter to have links to online groups espousing extreme hatred of women. Since Elliot Rodger killed six people in California in 2014, self-proclaimed ‘involuntary celibates' have carried out multiple mass murders, mostly in North America. What's driving this extreme misogyny? Is incel ideology on the rise? And are Big Tech companies to blame for allowing these groups to thrive online?

Manosfæren er en serie af Cybernauternes podcast Cybernormer, hvor vi sætter fokus på de digitale rum, mænd mødes og diskuterer køn og maskulinitet - og er enten kritiske overfor eller direkte modstandere af feminismen.I tredje episode af manosfæren taler vi med professor Debbie Ging om fire forskellige af manosfærens kernegrupper, nemlig scorekunstnerne, incels, MGTOWs og NoFappers. Hvad samler dem og hvor er de uenige? Og giver det mening at så meget mainstream medie og forskningsfokus er på én gruppe, nemlig incels, når de andre grupper er både bedre finansierede og mere velorganiserede?Produktion: CybernauterneLyddesign: Sara NielsenKilder og referencer“Neologising misogyny: Urban Dictionary's folksonomies of sexual abuse”, Debbie Ging, et al.Sage Publications, 2019“The new men's movement: Retreat and regression with America's weekend warriors”, Michael Kimmel, Michael Kaufmann, Springer, 1993; “Jeg fandt de digitale spor fra lægen, der er dømt for to voldtægter.

I sidste uge udkom rapporten “Under indflydelse” lavet af Cybernauterne og Daregender som handler om meningsfællesskaber på digitale platform, der dyrker had, chikane og vold mod kvinder og generelt modstand mod ligestilling og feminisme. I den undersøgelse, der ligger til grund for rapporten har I indsamlet godt 12 milioner kommentarer fra YouTube-videoer, Discord-servere, Facebook-grupper, Instagram og Telegram.I onsdags udkom en anden rapport - denne gang fra Center for Digital Pædagogik. Den hedder The Angry Internet og omhandler faktisk meget af det samme.Derfor dykker vi i denne episoder ned i de her mandefællesskaber, der dyrker de traditionelle kønsroller, modstand mod feminisme og som har en følelse af at være maginaliserede og undertrykte. For hvad kan denne følelse fører til i yderste konsekvens og hvad gør vi for at undgå, at flere ikke havner i de her fællesskaber? Vi skal også se på, hvordan tonen fra de mere ekstreme influencere og politiske youtubere siver ud og prøver at hive folk ind fra kommentarsporene på de mere mainstream-kanaler.Med i studiet er Maia Kahlke Lorentzen fra Cybernauterne og Lars Kramhøft som er prisvindende forfatter til den grafiske roman “Noget frygteligt er altid lige ved at ske”, som handler om en ung mand, der flirter med mandefællesskaber, da han finder sig selv i en dyb depression og personlig krise. Vi runder også lige et mindre kontroversielt emne, nemlig Twitters lancering af deres eget story-format, som de kalder for Fleets. Med til at tage snakken om storyens udvikling fra Snapchat til Twitter er Lars K Jensen, digital rådgiver og indehaver af nyhedsbrevet Digital Ugerevy.

In episode 443 of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things, we are back with our Wednesday segment where I chat with various experts and a new series I call, Connected Conversations. Each episode will feature an episode from an expert teaching on a topic or a conversation with a group of other people discussing an important topic. Each conversation will somehow relate to humanity, human connection, human rights or becoming a more extraordinary person. This episode is part of the Connected Conversations series where I chat with Dr. Michael Kimmel, one of the world's leading experts on men and masculinities who is a tireless advocate of engaging men to support gender equality. In this episode he talks about how men learn what it means to be a man from other men, media and peer groups, why the attitudes of manhood are changing, why men have a role in gender equality and what it means to be a man now.

Dr. Michael Kimmel, author of the NYT bestselling Guyland, speaks with Andy to discuss boys, men, and everything in between. Masculinity doesn’t have to be “toxic” but the way we teach (or don’t teach) our boys about what it means to be a “man” has dire consequences for us all.

Many white men feel they've (ironically) found their place among the marginalized and victimized. This is based on the premise that historically, to be a straight, white male grants many privileges that are slowly slipping as minorities gain any clout. Sociologist and gender studies expert Michael Kimmel explains that while their anger may be justified, it's been sorely misdirected towards ethnic minorities, women and the LGBTQ community.

Approaching Adolescence Guest: Dennis RaineyFrom the series: Stepping Up (day 3 of 5) Bob: One of the key steps a young man will take as he progresses toward courageous, authentic, biblical masculinity is the step where he begins to assume more responsibility. Here's Dennis Rainey. Dennis: You know what? As a young man, get used to stepping up. Get used to taking on more responsibility because it is the stuff of manhood. It's why God created you. Back in Genesis, chapter one, you were designed to reign over the creation and make a living by the sweat of your brow and be a part of God's redemptive work on the planet. Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Wednesday, March 9th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. We're going to explore today what has to happen for a young man to move through adolescence and to embrace authentic masculinity. Welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us on the Wednesday edition. We're going to have to start with some definition, maybe, or some discussion here at the beginning. You've just finished a book that you call Stepping Up, a Call to Courageous Manhood. You're challenging men to step up. One of the things you address in this book is the idea that men go through a middle phase, from boyhood to manhood, the phase of adolescence. You know there are people in the culture today who push back on that whole idea of adolescence and say that's an artificial construct. Back a hundred years ago there was no such thing as an adolescent. You just went from boyhood to manhood. So what do you say to that, huh? Dennis: Well, they're right. It wasn't even in the dictionary at the turn of the twentieth century. In the early nineteen hundreds there were two steps, boyhood and manhood. There wasn't anything in between. You stepped up from boyhood to manhood and probably did so at a much earlier age back then than we do today. Bob: So you'd have teenagers, young men, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old getting married, taking jobs…Dennis: Oh, yeah! Right. Bob: …taking responsibilities for families. The idea that there would be an extended period where you would learn and study and grow and just kind of enjoy life before you got down to the duties and responsibilities of adulthood? That just didn't exist. Dennis: It didn't. In fact there's a guy who wrote a book, Dr. Michael Kimmel, called Guyland. In it he describes a world where young men live. He said it's a stage of life, an undefined timespan between adolescence and adulthood that can stretch out for a decade or more. It's a bunch of places where guys gather to be guys with each other, unhassled by the demands of parents, girlfriends, jobs, kids and other nuisances of adult life. What he's saying is he actually wants to add another step between adolescence and manhood, one that can go on into the late twenties. In fact, it's happening! Bob: Guyhood? Dennis: Guyland, I guess. I don't know. Bob: You get your video game controller and you work a job where you can go home and sit down with the dudes and crack some beers and get out the videogames and have a blast. Dennis: Yeah. In fact, listen to this statement that Dr. Kimmel concludes with. He says, “In this topsy turvy Peter Pan mindset, young men shirk the responsibilities of adulthood and remain fixated on the trappings of boyhood while the boys they still are struggle heroically to prove that they are real men, despite all the evidence to the contrary.” Bob: Well, he's really just saying that adolescence has been extended in our culture and there's kind of this state of perpetual adolescence. In fact, again as you've addressed in this book and you've spoken to men, you're calling all of us to step out of what is that inertia that pulls us back into the irresponsibility of adolescence and say “Step up to the responsibility of manhood.” Dennis: I don't think it's wrong that adolescence ultimately emerged. I think what has become a trap, however, is when young men are allowed to stay in some in-between world, in between boyhood and manhood for an extended period of time where no one in the culture, no one in their family, no one in their lives, is stepping into their lives and saying, “It's time to grow up. It's time to assume responsibilities.” I have to say it's interesting in this culture to watch a bunch of single people, for that matter single men, moving into their thirties delaying marriage with one foot in boyhood, one foot in adolescence. I think they need some older men in their lives who are on the steps above, looking down at them, and not in an arrogant fashion, but reaching down to them, saying, “Come on up.” It may be frightening. It may feel like it is more responsibility, because it is but you need to get out of childhood. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13, verse 11, “When I was a boy I acted like a boy. I behaved like a boy. I spoke like a boy. But when I grew up I put away childish things.” We need a generation of young men putting away childish things. Bob: But you know the messages they're getting in the culture, the messages on TV, from their peer group, the messages in the movies, and even the message of their own flesh, it's not calling them to put away childish things. It's saying, “This is a time for fun. Enjoy it!” Dennis: Well, you were a teenage young man one time. Bob: I was! I remember! Dennis: Do you remember it? I mean, it was totally confusing and life was a lot simpler back then. But what's happening today I fear, is the older men in the lives of these young men, instead of reaching out with their hand and calling them to step up, they're not challenging them to much of anything. They've forgotten what it was like. Let me just read to you what I wrote in the book in terms of what teenage boys are facing today. “A teenage boy's body is changing in strange and foreign ways.” Think about it! I mean, hair growing in some unusual places! What's he supposed to do? He's starting to think about things he's never thought about before. All of a sudden, sexual allurement and the mystery of sex becomes powerful. If you've never been spoken to about this, what's a boy, a young man, going to do with all that? Secondly, he's bombarded with bewildering thoughts and choices about sex and morality. In other words, when can he have sex? Now he's thinking about it. What is appropriate? If you watch what's on TV, there are no boundaries. Barbara and I sat at the movies back around Christmas watching previews and there was, and I forget the name of the movie and I'm glad I'm forgetting it here, because I don't want to give it any advertising, but it was all about having sex. That was the theme of the entire movie. It was like all these single people were just born for this purpose, to just figure out how to ultimately make out and get in bed with one another. There was no restraint on passion. So here are teenage boys coming to a movie like that. What are they supposed to do with those images? Third, he faces relentless, unbelievable peer pressure, friends encouraging, enticing him to go along with, frankly, barbaric ways. I mean teenage boys left to go their own route are going to be little barbarians. Next, he battles an emotional upheaval of anger, sometimes rage that he has no idea where it's coming from. I watched out sons going through this. Without a strong daddy in their lives, they can be punitive upon a mom. Bob: They're getting some hormones squirted into their systems that haven't been squirted there before and aggression is a part of what comes with that. It's got to be directed and it's got to be channeled. Dennis: Yes. And in this culture, in addition to all that, he's also has to deal with other people's expectations. I mean, with all the expectations around the tests they're taking, the college they go to, how well their grades are, it's pressure on pressure on pressure. The last one is he feels this strong gravitational pull toward independence. He wants to spin out and away from the family orbit and establish his own authority away from his parent's authority all on his own. Bob: And that's a good thing, isn't it? Dennis: It is. Bob: …that he wants to do that? Dennis: It is. But it is if he's trustworthy, if he's been trained, if he understands how to begin to exercise his own authority. Bob: If he wants to kind of be in charge of his own universe simply so he can indulge his own fleshy desires then that's a recipe for trouble. Dennis: It is. Bob: But if he wants to be out on his own so that he can subdue the earth and fulfill it as the biblical mandate calls him to do, then that's a good thing. Dennis: Yes. But just pull back for a second and think as a parent. Here's a young man that you're observing that has this wash of chemicals and hormones surging through his system, all these outside forces impacting him. He's spinning off to his own orbit and two things can happen with parents. One, I call the push back and the other is what I call the pull out. The push back is when a young man begins to push back against his parents, specifically his father, and the father lets him. He lets him push him back and push him out of his life so that the father is not in there helping him navigate uncharted waters. The second area is the pull out. Some parents just get busy and it's a hassle to engage your teenagers. The easiest thing to do, again, is nothing. So a dad can pull out of his son's life, in my opinion, at one of the most dangerous, most important times, when a young man needs an older man, in his entire life. Bob: So ideally, as I hear you describing all of this, I'm thinking to myself ideally you want to get a son from boyhood to manhood kind of as quickly as possible, get him through the adolescent rapids as quickly as you can? Dennis: Well, you know, you really understand why back at the turn of the twentieth century, why they got married and started their own families. These young men had to step up and had to assume the responsibilities of a man. They were given no other choices. The problem is we've built an entertainment culture appealing to these teenagers, enticing them to stay in this phase well into their twenties. Bob: A lot of the young men at the turn of the century weren't in school after the seventh or the eighth grade. Now they're in school to college and beyond and their only responsibility is to study. There's no job. There's no work. All of a sudden you've got all this free time. I mean, I remember when I was a student thinking, “Boy, I've got no free time.” Well, I'd go back and trade, you know? Dennis: No doubt. Bob: …because you've got all kinds of time. If there's no direct responsibility attached to that, that's a recipe for mischief. Dennis: You know, Bob, my boys at this point would cringe because they know exactly what I'm about to say. When they entered that phase I would look at them and I said, “You have the least amount of responsibility you will have for the rest of your life.” But the idea there is that, you know what, as a young man, get used to stepping up. Get used to taking on more responsibility because it is the stuff of manhood. It is why God created you. Back in Genesis, chapter 1, you were designed by God to rule. You were designed to reign over the creation and make a living by the sweat of your brow and be a part of God's redemptive work on the planet. Probably the best illustration I have of what the teenage years look like and the assignment of a father during those years, used to occur as I completed my sixth grade Sunday school class. Now this was a class I used to teach. I had seventy, seventy-five young people in that class so it wasn't just to the boys. But I would always use a boy to illustrate the last principle. Bob: Now this was seventy twelve year olds? Dennis: Yes, eleven and twelve year olds. Bob: Oh my goodness. Alright… Dennis: What I did in that class was I used to call it the traps of adolescence. So I had a bear trap that represented sexual immorality. I had smaller traps that represented drugs and alcohol and pornography, other traps that represented peer pressure. I had a dozen traps that were illustrated. For the last session I had all the traps set on the floor. It's a miracle, Bob, that in all the years I taught this I never once caught a kid. They never once stepped in any of those traps! I was relieved! Bob: It was a miracle that the Fish and Game people didn't come in and shut down your Sunday school class! Dennis: No doubt about it. But I had all these traps and kids knew what those traps stood for. So I took a young man on the other side of the traps, on the other side of the rooms, and he could see the traps in front of him, and I blindfolded him. Then I said, “I want you to take off your shoes.” And on the other side of the room, with the traps in between us and the young lad, was his father. I instructed the father in what they were supposed to do. I would say to the young man, “On the count of three I want you to come to your father and to me. It's representing going through adolescence all the way to adulthood.” Bob: So come barefoot through the traps with blindfolds on? Dennis: Right! Exactly! And I would say, “One. Two.” And the father would interrupt me every time and say, “Hold it son. Don't' take a step!” He would walk over, around the traps, would go over and whisper to his son, “I want you to stick your hands on the back of my shoulders and I want you to scoot along and follow me very closely because we are going in between these traps. So the father would begin scooting through those traps, all of this taking place in front of seventy-five young people about to encounter these traps and the parents who were about to raise them. They were in the room too because this was graduation. The father and the young man, closely behind him, would make it through to the other side and the class always began to applaud and clap and cheer as they finished it and the young man took his blindfold off and gave his father a hug. That's a picture of what adolescence was meant to look like--a father in the midst of doing life with his son, in the midst of the traps. First and foremost, staying out of the traps himself. Bob: Right. Dennis: And then calling his son to step up and away from the traps and to step with him toward manhood. What is missing today are the fathers walking around the traps and then sticking with it all the way through the next five, six, seven years. It's not a matter of having one birds and bees conversation with a thirteen year old boy. It's a matter of talking with him as you're watching a football game and a commercial comes on and you tell him to look away. It's a matter of talking about the movies he goes to and having boundaries in his life. It's a matter of training him to know how to deal with the opposite sex and honor a young ladies' femininity by keeping his hands off of her body. Young men today, more than ever, need a daddy, a daddy who is on the manhood step facing upwards, who knows who he is as a man, who's not dabbling in pornography himself, so he can reach down to his son and say, “Let's go. Come on. Follow me as I follow Jesus Christ.” Bob: The dads who are there and who can't reach back because they're got one foot still stuck in adolescence themselves? How do they get unstuck? Dennis: As we've talked here Bob, we've created a picture of five steps, a step going upwards from boyhood to adolescence, from adolescence to manhood, manhood to mentor, and, the ultimate step and most noble call for a man, that of being a patriarch. We also created an image that a man can find himself with one foot on the manhood step and one foot on the lower step of adolescence, standing sideways. When a man finds himself standing sideways, he has to realize a couple of things. Number one, his own life is in peril. Number two, the kind of model he is leaving for his son, and for that matter the rest of his family, is not a good one. And third, he needs to realize that from time to time all of us make foolish decisions. All of us step down and we have to turn our back, that's call repentance in the Bible, we have to turn our back on selfishness and on sin and turn away from it and turn upward toward Jesus Christ and the scriptures and being obedient to what God has called him to do. So I wish it was a simple matter of just turning away from evil one time and stepping up. But it's never just that. I mean, it occurs as we walk in the middle of an airport and you look over in the magazine stand. I don't ask to see those pictures. I don't ask to have those magazines faced outward to me, thirty feet away, not even going into the book store that's in the airport. But they're there and they can be a temptation and they can call a man away from what he knows is right to becoming a doorway through which sin can gain entrance, not only to his own life, but also to his son's. There's a warning in scripture that the sin of one generation will be passed down to four generations. To me that's a frightening thought, that my life would be used to pass on sin rather than righteousness to my descendants. Bob: If a dad is going to lead his son through the phase of adolescence to manhood, the dad's got to have a pretty secure standing on the manhood step himself. Dennis: He'd better keep short accounts with God. All of us make mistakes. I've shared many of them here on FamilyLife Today. I run into listeners all around the country who says, “You know what? We appreciate the no baloney approach to the Christian faith and to real life as we all live it.” I've shared about cutting down trees in front of my own son. And I've shared to repenting of cutting down a tree that wasn't on my property and calling the owner of that tree and confessing my sin and offering to pay restitution in front of my son. Now that's no fun. But you know what? It's a part of showing our sons where to find life. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart for from it flow the wellsprings of life.” My heart is a precious thing for life in terms of it beating right now. It's also a precious thing, if I understand the scriptures, spiritually, for me to continue to guard my heart so that I might be a source of life, that my life might be a spring that would come from my life to my wife, to my sons, to my daughters, and to those that I impact and influence. That's a great picture for any man standing on the manhood step. There needs to be a stream of water influencing all those around him. Bob: I think it's helpful, and this is one of the things you do so well in the book, men need to see that the essence of authentic manhood involves sacrifice, involves laying down your life, giving your life away for others. It's not about being a man for yourself. It's about being a man for others and dying to self. That's what's at the heart of authentic manhood. I want to encourage listeners to get a copy of this new book. Again, it's called Stepping Up—A Call to Courageous Manhood. This week we want to send it to you. All we're asking you is that you make a donation to help support the ministry. When you do, we're happy to send you a copy of Dennis's brand new book. If you're donating on line at FamilyLifeToday.com, when you open up the donation form there's a key code box there. Just type “STEPUP” in the key code box and we'll know to send you a copy of Dennis's book. Or call 1-800-FLToday and make a donation over the phone. Again, just ask for a copy of Dennis' book when you do. Right now the only place the book is available is here at FamilyLife so, if you want to get a copy, go online or call us and make a donation. If you're interested in multiple copies of the book, those are available for purchase as well. I know there are a lot of men's groups that are going to look at doing a book like this for a men's study. So if you want to get multiple copies, contact us, again, online at FamilyLifeToday.com or when you call 1-800-“F” as in family, “L” as in life, and then the word “Today.” Now tomorrow we're going to talk about what authentic, mature masculinity looks like.

I want to thank our engineer today, Keith Lynch, and our entire broadcast production team. On behalf of our host, Dennis Rainey, I'm Bob Lepine.

Why is it that we think boys are good at math and girls are more empathetic? Or that boys can’t focus in the classroom and girls are obsessed with relationships? These sometimes damaging gender stereotypes have become part of our culture, but are they backed up by science? Neuroscientist Lise Eliot says our default assumption is that our gender differences are hardwired, but that’s not the case. In her book Pink Brain Blue Brain, she uses research and her work on neuroplasticity to debunk our traditional thinking. She speaks with Michael Kimmel, sociology and gender studies professor at Stony Brook University. Show Notes Listen to our Off Stage episode featuring Maldivian climate activist Thilmeeza Hussain.

On this episode of en(gender)ed, our guest is Tom Digby, author of Love & War: How Militarism Shapes Sexuality and Romance. The book, Love and War, provides a new way to view heterosexual love, as well as the impact of misogyny in the everyday lives of men and women. Tom's work has been widely shared in numerous public presentations about the intersections of masculinity, militarism, love, sexuality, and feminism. Tom Digby is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Springfield College and has served as U.S. Advisory Editor of the journal Men and Masculinities since it was founded by Michael Kimmel in 1998. His previous book was Men Doing Feminism (Routledge). Digby's early publications were on Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Kant, and ethical theory, but for the past 30 years he has written, lectured, and taught primarily about gender topics. Tom will speak with us today about the concepts in his book, including heterosexual love, the construction of gender in our society, the interplay of gender and militarism and its role in shaping our understanding of masculinity, sexuality, romantic love, misogyny, and even war itself. We will also discuss the role of the 2016 election in influencing identity and cultural institutions and cultural norms and our discourse on gender and masculinity. During our conversation, Tom and I referenced many resources that we share with you below: Sandra Bartky and her book, Femininity and Domination: Studies in the Phenomenology of Oppression Cordelia Fine who writes about the "gender binary" Friedrich Nietzsche and his characterization of heterosexual relationship dynamics, also featured prominently in Kate Millet's Theory of Sexual Politics The Undefeated documentary available on Netflix Hillary Clinton's Beijing Speech on Women's Rights in 1995 Scholar Gail Dines and her work on "gonzo porn" The Twitter Clown Face-Painting incident and how the impact gender stereotypes have on future male violence and parenting as a form of advocacy The J Crew "I am a feminist too" t-shirt for boys --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

If you were asked what it means to be a good man, what would you say? What if you were asked what it means to be a real man? The contradictions between the answers to those two questions drive much of the confusion that men find themselves in today, according to sociologist and leading expert on masculinity, Dr. Michael Kimmel. Most people will say that a good man respects women, is a leader, is courageous, and helps others. Then they'll say that a real man doesn't show emotion, is all-powerful, always wins whatever the cost, isn't gay, and doesn't act like a girl. So, is it ever possible to be both a good man and real man at the same time? If The Man Rules say we can't be vulnerable and the only way to break out of the constricting pain of the Man Box is to find vulnerability - what is a man supposed to do? There is no easy answer but it has to start with men finding communities of other men with whom they can share their truth. After almost four decades of studying masculinity, Dr. Kimmel is hopeful. The conversation is just beginning and men, slowly but surely are finally being given the opportunity to make being a "real man" and a "good man" one in the same.
In today's #WiseGirl podcast, I talk with sociologist Dr. Michael Kimmel about men, masculinity, patriarchy, equality, #TimesUp and #MeToo. We look at what men need to know about gender and socialization, how equality helps men (and women) live happier and more fulfilled lives, and how men need to challenge other men in/on a culture of silence around sexual harassment. Kimmel is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender at Stony Brook University and the founder of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities. http://www.michaelkimmel.com/

Samantha and Remoy, both from Brooklyn, New York are in the middle of their second season, and they started off with a bang, bringing up scholar and savant Michael Kimmel from the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities from Stony Brook University.

While once accusations of sexual harassment would be met with — at most — a monetary settlement and a non-disclosure agreement, today they are more likely to be publicized and investigated. Now, the challenge is, how do we harness this new attention to sexual harassment to make work a safer place for women? Guests: Joan Williams, Amy Gallo, and Michael Kimmel.

Welcome back! In Season 2, Samantha and Remoy are looking forward to understanding the systemic character of MASKulinity. They kick it off with the illustrious Dr. Michael Kimmel, founder of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities at Stony Brook University, digging into his last book Angry White Men to understand how a group whom most consider to be the most privileged could be feeling left behind. Listen as Dr. Kimmel offers key insights about the notion of a 'good man' versus that of a 'real man', and how, in anticipation for his new book, Healing from Hate, he opens up about a surprising outcome for him when finishing this new book about life after extremism. Finally, they close out with an effective solution to this gender conundrum. Tune in!
Michael Kimmel, professor of sociology at Stony Brook University, and Lisa Wade, associate professor of sociology at Occidental College, discuss masculinity studies, gender and neo-Nazi and alt-Right movements, masculinity's role in the rise of Donald Trump, and the possibilities for coalitions in today's political landscape.

Dr. Michael Kimmel is a well-known authority on gender, men, and masculinities, even being named by The Guardian UK as “the world's most prominent male feminist”. I saw him speak at TEDX Sydney in 2016 and was enthralled by his common touch, his wisdom and often heartbreaking yet relevant insights, backed by his impressive academic kudos. Among his many books are Manhood in America, Angry White Me and a best seller Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men. Today, we are sharing the microphone to unpack The Politics of Raising Men. In this episode, Michael shall delve into: What are the most worrying issues for men?

The second half of our conversation with German Villages of the Modern Manhood podcast and web site. We continue our conversation about masculinity, sports, stigmas around therapy, Super Mario World, and TRUCKS! Men Edmonton is a grass root group talking about violence against women, feminism and masculinity. One of German’s earliest interviews was with one of the founders of Men Edmonton, Ryan Valley. Some really amazing films mentioned by German, Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In. Please find them on Netflix, or wherever, and watch. Men Edmonton sponsored an event in April of 2017 where they screened The Mask You Live In and held a panel afterwards. German recorded the session for the Modern Manhood podcast. Michael Kimmel studies gender and is featured in the documentaries mentioned above. The Precarious Manhood Theory revolves around fear. If a man’s masculinity is challenged, he’s more likely to engage in aggressive or stereotypical male behaviors. Hockey is a “man’s game,” says Patrick Maroon. Retired goalie Corey Hirsch shares his mental health struggle with the world. Foul play prevented German from completing all the levels in Super Mario World. We love the Portlandia Battlestar Galactica episode because it highlights the dangers of binge watching. Paul’s crew at work is all about comparing hours in Breath of the Wild. German mentions how men and women tend to posture in a community of their peers. He doesn’t recommend The Game, but he said there’s a chapter on peacocking. How is NHL ‘94 on the Sega so beloved by all? A mystery to be solved in a future documentary. German’s other podcast is all about hockey, Your Team Sucks. Rasheed Wallace is crazy and we loved it. German loves, LOVES, soccer as well. He’s an Arsenal fan, but his heart is with his Chilean National team. Inspired by Men Edmonton, German hopes to build a community for men to share their stories on his podcast, Modern Manhood. The Ferdinand was another website that German had started for people to share their stories about masculinity. He’s in the process of moving it to Modern Manhood. The site was called The Ferdinand because it was based on The Story of Ferdinand. The story was turned into an Oscar winning short by Walt Disney. German is delighted that women are listening to his show as well. He was a guest on What it is with Andrea Beça of That’s So Maven! who listens and encourages others to listen to his show. The event at The Metro Cinema German spoke of on the show, which played the documentary The Mask You Live, In is long past but he recorded a podcast of the experience. Help German continue to enrich the lives of us all by giving to his Patreon. Find German’s Modern Manhood show on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Lots of wonderful things have happened since our chat with German Villages. The Modern Manhood podcast has joined GRadio.ca and the Alberta Podcast Network. German is an incredible human and his show is inspiring and absolutely needed in today’s world. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him, he’s just that kind of person. And, please remember to take care of yourselves. Support Montreal Sauce on Patreon
Charlie Gard and Michael Kimmel the feminist.
Tamika Mallory, Co-Chair of the Women’s March on Washington, sat down at Northeastern University on February 28 with Signs Editor Suzanna Danuta Walters. They discuss the success of the January 21, 2017, Women’s Marches around the United States and the world, the significance of intersectional organizing, and the possibilities for future resistance. A transcript, as well as other resources on the Women's Marches, is available at http://signsjournal.org/tamika-mallory/.
For this edition of Ask a Feminist, Amy Farrell talks to Angela P. Harris—Distinguished Professor of Law, Boochever and Bird Endowed Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom of Equality, and Director of the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies at the University of California Davis—about violence and the consequences of state efforts to control violence through criminalization.This conversation is particularly timely as political dialogue in the United States has shifted dramatically toward “law and order” approaches to solving community problems in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. Professor Harris’s scholarship provides the theoretical underpinning for alternative approaches to violence prevention such as restorative justice. A transcript is available at http://signsjournal.org/ask-a-feminist-harris-farrell/
For this edition of Ask a Feminist, Suzanna Danuta Walters talks to Susan J. Carroll—eminent political theorist and long-time advocate of women’s political participation—about issues around gender and electoral politics. Her expertise and experience is needed now more than ever, as we navigate an increasingly fraught political season and the prospect of our first woman president.
It's music festival season in Louisville, and this year, there's a new event on the calendar. This week we talk with Tay G, one of the organizers of Louievolve, a two-day festival celebrating Louisville hip-hop scene and culture. Tay G says the festival will be more than just music—much like hip-hop itself. "The music is just one part of it," he explains. Live graffiti and break dancing have their place in hip-hop culture too, and will be part of the festival. "Just as an MC is trying to make himself look like the best MC out, writing your name on the wall does that same thing, it's just not through the audio," he says. "It's all tied into that culture and the foundations of hip-hop, and the people that came from different places to create it." The Louievolve Festival will be at the Tim Faulkner Gallery on April 16-17. For the past 30 years, Dr. Michael Kimmel has been studying what it means to be a man, and trying to engage men in the work of gender equality (the Atlantic has called him "The Bro Whisperer"). When he was in Louisville to deliver the Minx Auerbach lecture at the University of Louisville, Kimmel told us the story of his appearance on a television segment with four white men who believed that affirmative action was victimizing white men. One of his fellow panelists talked about being qualified for a job that was eventually given to another candidate — a situation he summarized as, "a black woman stole my job." "I want to know about the word 'my,'" Kimmel says. "Where did you get the idea it was your job? Why isn't it, 'A black woman got the job,' or 'A black woman got a job?'" Examining that sense of ownership became the kernel of his book, Angry White Men. "Because without confronting men's sense of entitlement, we can never understand why so many men resist gender equality." And in our closing thoughts, we invite you to follow the hashtag #StoryJacksonWeddingOnTheRun this weekend. The big day is finally here! WFPL and #TeamStrangeFruit congratulate our very own Kaila Story and her fiancée Missy Jackson, who are getting married this weekend!
Om den vite mannen och hans makt. Hur stor är den? Är den hotad? Och vad gör han i så fall åt det? Hör röster från Chicago, Paris och skånska Burlöv om arga vita män som påverkar politiken. "Vita män". Kan man ens prata om "vita män" som en grupp? Vad har en arbetslös industriarbetare i en småstad någonstans gemensamt med till exempel en rik affärsman? Enligt den amerikanske sociologiprofessorn Michael Kimmel tillhör alla vita män, oavsett klass, en priviligerad grupp. Vita män, menar han, har under århundraden tjänat på ett ojämlikt system, på minoritetsgruppers och kvinnors bekostnad. Men det håller på att ändras. Vi ser slutet på en era för vita män, som David Rothkopf, vd för den amerikanske tidskriften Foreign Policy, skrev i en uppmärksammad krönika nyligen. Han hänvisar till länder i Asien som är på stark frammarsch och utmanar samhällen i väst, till att kvinnors rättigheter stärkts och demografiska förändringar som kommer med migration. Både Michael Kimmel, som skrivit en bok med titeln Arga vita män och David Rothkopf tycker att den här utvecklingen är positiv.Men säger inte verkligheten något annat? Konflikts Ivar Ekman begav sig till ett möte med den republikanske presidentkandidaten Donald Trump i Chicago. Där träffar han flera män som bekräftar den ilska som teoretikerna pratar om, men som inte håller med om deras tro på att Diversity is the answer.Vilka paralleller kan man dra till den europeiska kontexten? Konflikts Anja Sahlberg ringde upp den franske statsvetaren Jean-Yves Camus, som är expert på högerextrema och högerpopulistiska rörelser i Europa.Här i Sverige sticker Sverigedemokraterna ut om man tittar på andelen manliga väljare, varför är det så? Den frågan tog Konflikts Axel Winqvist med sig till skånska Burlöv.Att fokusera på vita män, hur effektivt är det om man vill förstå missnöjespartiernas framväxt både i USA och Europa? I studion för att samtala om den frågan finns Ivar Arpi, ledarskribent på Svenska Dagbladet, som också håller på med en bok som tangerar ämnet, och Tobias Hübinette, Lektor i interkulturella studier vid Karlstad Universitet.Programledare: Ivar Ekman ivar.ekman@sverigesradio.se Producent: Anja Sahlberg anja.sahlberg@sverigesradio.se
Michael Kimmel is the Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at Stony Brook University. He is also executive director of the Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities. His book Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era (Nation Books, 2013) is an engaging and eye-opening book about the lives and attitudes of white men who are expressing rage and feelings of “aggrieved entitlement” in a new age of gender relations. In the vast social, economy and political changes women have gained increased equality in the home, and the workplace, while many straight white males are experiencing a sense of loss. Having worked hard and fulfilled what they view as the requirements of masculinity, men now find that the economic rewards are slow in coming. Kimmel has spent hundreds of hours talking with men from different economic and social stations who blame women, blacks, and gays for their troubles. With a sympathetic ear, he examines the social construction of men’s anger express in politicized anti-immigrant, anti-gay, and racist sentiment flamed by right-wing media. Feeling that the system is now stacked against them, we are seeing outbreaks of mass murder by young men at schools and workplaces and men’s rights activism which seeks to restore male privilege and “stolen” fathers’ rights to extreme cases of battering and murder of women. Through the political mobilization of the Extreme Right represented in the Tea Party, Neo-Nazi groups and religious fundamentalism, men are expressing despair over their perceived loss of status. White supremacist groups are drawing a growing number of women who are embracing old models of gender relations and the slogan of “taking our country back.” The beginning of the end of patriarchy, Kimmel argues, is also the start of a better life for men. Gender and racial equality are good for white men and their children. What is needed is not only to turn down the volume of white male rage, but also to empower men to embrace a new definition of manhood that frees them from a sense of entitlement and opens up for them an equalitarian future.

Until recently, the science of parenthood focused almost exclusively on mothers. As fathers have taken a more active role in childcare, researchers have begun to look at the impact dads have on their children. In this episode of The Modern Dads Podcast, we bring a 92Y Parenting Conference panel discussion: The New Science of Fatherhood, How the Research is Changing the Conversation. Panelists include sociologist Dr. Michael Kimmel, neuroscientist Dr. James Curley, psychologist Dr. Michael Thompson, and author Paul Raeburn moderates.
The number of angry white men in America is on the decline, just as talk radio, that panders to and inspires them, is also aging and declining. Yet their continued presence tells us a lot about change in America and the divides that separate race, gender and class.Perhaps it all started back in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to obscure the difference between working class and affluent voters, particular men, by portraying them all as a part of a silent majority. He portrayed them as both heroes and victims of the tumultuousness of the period. Reagan continued with similar themes to capture what came to be called “Reagan Democrats.” All of this was before and really a precursor to the profound impacts of feminism, civil rights, gay rights, globalization, growing income disparity, more women in the workplace, the loss of manufacturing, Sex in the City, outsourcing, the technological revolution, the US attacked on 9/11, the great recession, legalized marijuana, same sex marriage and the election of a black President.It’s enough to disorient anyone. But most notably its greatest impact was on those most threatened; the standard bearers of the old status quo, white men. Men who had stood on the wall trying to defend an old way of life, a cultural paradigm that was crumbling beneath their feet. Stony Brook University Professor Michael Kimmel examines this phenomenon in Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era.My conversation with Michael Kimmel:
Sociologist Michael Kimmel talks about his book, [Angry White Men: American Masculinity at the End of an Era], in which he presents what he calls a comprehensive diagnosis of the fears, anxieties and rage of America's angry white male. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
