One of my earliest memories with Joseph is hanging out with him at a park when he was around 10 years old. He spent most of his time climbing trees with his friends. Since then, climbing has become a steady passion for him—it's his primary sport, his job, one of his favourite things to do and one of his biggest aspirations in life.We've spent countless hours underneath bouldering walls and pull-up bars. I've worked out with him, listened to him blast Apashe, and watched him grow into a remarkable young athlete. I asked him to join for a podcast episode so we could capture this moment in his life.Then I connected with an Olympic medalist named Jason Rogers. This is what we created.FURTHER READINGJason Rogers writes The Mandate Letter, a patient and meaningful exploration of the world of masculinity that features in-depth research and thought-provoking interviews on relevant topics.

Mayor Tory on impacts of COVID-19 on city finances and city-run LTC homes; author Rachel Giese shares pandemic reading list
Masculinity dominates our social, political, cultural, and economic lives. As a way of seeing and being in the world, it is often narrow-minded, aggressive, and oppressive. Toxic conceptions of masculinity are a threat to all of us; but they are also social constructions. As such, they can be deconstructed and reconstructed in the service of a healthier world for everyone. But first, we must understand masculinity. Towards that end, we ask: What does it mean to become a man? On episode 14 of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks about masculinity with Rachel Giese, a journalist and the award-winning author of the book Boys: What It Means To Become A Man.

As the final panel of the evening, authors Vivek Shraya (I’m Afraid of Men), Sarah Henstra (The Red Word) and Rachel Giese (Boys: What it Means to Become a Man) mesmerized the audience as they discussed gender, toxic masculinity, power and feminism with moderator Rinaldo Walcott as part of the 2018 Toronto International Festival of Authors. The authors also read from their critically acclaimed works! This episode is produced and hosted by Ardo Omer. Introduction by Director Geoffrey E. Taylor.
Whether we're telling boys to "man up" or warned that "crying is for girls" young men are subjected to damaging messages about manliness: they must muzzle their emotions and never show weakness, dominate girls, and compete with one another. And yet we wonder why many men are emotionally unavailable. Rachel Giese is a journalist and author of Boys: What It Means To Become A Man. Her new book examines the myths of masculinity and the challenges facing boys today and how we might consider doing it differently. What you'll learn (or why you should care): • The effects of toxic masculinity on boyhood development • The dangers of raising boys in the 'man box' • How we can expand our current definition of courage and strength to include vulnerability, authenticity, and transparency when it comes to emotions.

I was honored to talk about this and the research that Chataleine’s Editor at Large’s Rachel Giese has done to write the book “Boys: What It Means to Become A Man.” She has taken the time to look at what is going on in Canada in regards to the toxic forms of traditional western masculinity, interested in groups like WiseGuyz down in Calgary, and speakers like once and future guest Jeff Perera. We speak about her motivations for the books, what surprised her the most, complicity and the danger of “otherisms” in regards to #MeToo, and her call not only to the isolation of some men, but also to step back and think of the victims of violence.

For today’s guest, from the great city of Toronto, we have Jermal Alleyne. A leader of youth groups and men’s groups in two different capacities, one through Next Gen Men and one through the John Howard Society. This interview was fascinating to me because it’s very close to what I do here in Edmonton, and our approaches are similar but at the same time it’s great to hear it said out loud. We go through the differences of teaching the two, we also touch a bit about Jermal’s father, and his journey to working anti-violence work. You’ll hear part two of my conversation with Jermal on episode 57. But on the next Modern Manhood, we’re going to talk to Rachel Giese, the editor at large for Chatelaine about her new book all about Canadian masculinity.
Rachel Giese is a writer and editor-at-large Chatelaine magazine who guest hosts on CBC Radio shows like Day 6 and q. She also has an upcoming book on boyhood and masculinity. We talk about her book, who gets hired in Canadian media and how some of the industry's decision-makers think.
