Podcasts about remaking manhood

Millions of men are tired of the way in which MAGA Republicans have defined masculinity in the traditional, restrictive fashion - emphasizing the “hard” side of men and shaming the “soft” side. This includes prioritizing independence over interdependence, thinking over feeling, autonomy over connection, and emotional suppression over vulnerability.  The old view is “power over” others rather than “power with”. The old view is to exert control over women which is demonstrated by MAGA's views on abortion and birth control. The solution is not to prioritize the hard side of masculinity over the soft side. Nor is it to prioritize the soft side over the hard side. The solution is to create a climate which values all sides of masculinity (or even better, humanity!), so that we may bring the best aspects of ourselves to any situation as needed. The solution is to stop shaming men when they feel natural, healthy human emotions (think of how Gus Walz was treated when he displayed love, connection and pride over his father at the DNC). What is the Man Box?  It's the rules you absorbed as a boy about what it means to be a “real man”; rules that have made you emotionally constipated, caused conflict in your romantic relationship, encouraged you to chase material things, and caught up in a hyper-competitive rat race. The rules include such classics as be tough, hide your feelings, dominate women, be self-reliant, don't be feminine, and don't be homosexual. Research shows that this restrictive, tired view of masculinity has negative effects on us. The more we subscribe to traditional Man Box beliefs, the lower our self-esteem (Cournoyer & Mahalik, 1995), the more difficulties we have in romantic relationships and friendships (Fischer & Good, 1997; Sharpe & Heppner, 1991), the more we act in violence (Franchina, Eisler, & Moore, 2001), and the more depressed and anxious we feel (Cournoyer & Mahalik, 1995; Hayes & Mahalik, 2000).Join Dr. John Schinnerer and Mark Greene in a fascinating conversation about the Man Box culture, and how it's playing out in politics right now. The solution is not to flip the script so that we overvalue the soft aspects of men over the harder aspects.  The goal is to honor both the hard and the soft sides of our humanity equally. It's giving men permission to tap into all aspects of their humanity so that they are comfortable bringing the best parts of themselves to a particular situation.This is not a problem at an individual level. It is a cultural issue, a culture in which the full spectrum of our humanity has yet to be valued fully. The thing I love about the Man Box idea is that none of this is your fault. You didn't ask to be socialized like this. You had no control over it. It just happens. So keep in mind that while this is not your fault, it is your responsibility to evolve beyond the Man Box. And that's what we are seeking to do in this election, discover more ways to evolve our masculinity.About Dr. John's Esteemed Guest, Mark Greene:Mark Greene works to engage men in creating diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace cultures.

Mark also highlights powerful  statistics from Equimundo that show how man box culture affects men in the USA, Mexico and the UK. Mark shares fascinating insight on how man box culture hurts boys and men, and how man box culture affects the politics of today (think MAGA and men feeling like they are losing) He also discusses why it's important to be in relationship with our boys and gives examples of how building those solid relationships can support our boys as they get older.  Mark is the co-author with Dr. Saliha Bava of The Relational Book for Parenting, and in our conversation he provides a few examples of games to play with our kids to help have conversatoins and talk about our feelings, and help them express their emotions in a safe and engaging way.  Make sure to follow Mark on Instagram @remakingmanhood ' If you liked this conversation, be sure to check out our conversation about social emotional learning with Tim Shriver.  Don't forget to leave a review, share this episode with your friend and follow us on Instagram, @parentingandpolitics

Our culture is literally littered with the fallout of unhappy men looking to assert their dominance. From the tantrums of our last president, to our daily mass shootings, to the broad resurgence of patriarchal male dominance, men are not doing ok and they're making it everyone else's problem. Join me and the founder of ReMaking Manhood Mark Greene as we talk about what's gone wrong and how strategists behind the conservative and MAGA movement are looking to weaponize every aspect of the culture wars including our culture of masculinity to their benefit, and what we, as a culture, can do about it - both for the health of our men, and the health of our society, because clearly this isn't working.

Niobe Way, NYU professor, researcher, and author of Deep Secrets, joins Charles and I to talk about boy's crisis of connection. Way's book Deep Secrets is the inspiration for Director Lukas Dhont's 2022 film Close, nominated for Best Foreign Film at the 95th Academy Awards and winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. In this wide ranging conversation we pose a simple question. We know what's at the root of boys' challenges.

For generations American men have been raised in a rigid structure of what it meant to be a man, which had its benefits in the dominant position of power in the patriarchy, but was destructive to their personal relationships and authentic selves. Now our society finds itself at a tipping point of either a resurgence, or the end, of the patriarchy as we know it. We're living through a major upheaval and this evolution is getting a lot of pushback from men who clearly feel they are losing something and are lashing out, individually with violence, or collectively with the regression of everyone else's rights. How did we get here? What can we do about it? And what has gone wrong with men?

Charles Matheus is an adventurer, entrepreneur, mentor, and leadership consultant. He has led individuals and groups to the top of the highest peaks in Wyoming and to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back!). He uses the facilitation and coaching skills he honed in those intense, high-risk wilderness settings to support, teach, and mentor experienced and emerging leaders in business, higher education, and the nonprofit sector. Charles is on a mission to help other men feel powerful and confident as they step away from old, unsound leadership models and toward more inclusive, flexible, and sustainable modes. Charles's TEDx talks, keynotes, and workshops have inspired hundreds of workshop participants, and conference attendees. Charles is a Mankind Project facilitator, men's group coach, and acts as a consultant for several ongoing men's empowerment, leadership, and study groups. Charles also co-hosts the “Remaking Manhood” podcast which features conversations with men and women at the forefront of the Healthy Masculinity movement. Leadership & Masculinity is fast becoming the must-have reference for male leaders. The author contrasts old strength leadership (command and control, benevolent dictatorship, discriminatory, my way or the highway, top down) with new strength leadership (win-win, power-with, inclusion and vulnerability, collaboration, openness and diversity). As an experienced leadership consultant and wilderness guide, Matheus explains that the transformative leadership journey is not easy - it entails some heavy lifting and challenging route- finding - but his little book gives clear and practical advice for leading well, living fully and leaving a positive legacy. Critically, this book explores the power games and key thinking that trap male leaders into outdated ways of leading; and then gives clear direction for moving forward into a more inclusive, diverse, equitable and collaborative leadership style. The text effortlessly cuts through the noise and confusion with simplicity and precision. The author signposts a clear direction, practical guidelines and a new leadership vision and adventure for men. Charles Matheus is a seasoned leadership consultant. Over the past 35 years, he's been an educator, wilderness guide, nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, public speaker, a corporate teambuilder for prestigious Cornell Outdoor Education and a founding board member of Boys To Men, USA. This remarkable book starts with a candid confession of Charles's epic failure as a senior team leader and director; and the journey back to inspired leadership. He unpacks the honest lessons learned for men in key leadership roles. If you are a man in a key leadership role this is a though-provoking read. This book goes a long way to describing what good looks like especially as it relates to delivering team excellence.

Finn Cox is a transgender man, personal trainer, and content creator committed to activism through outreach. He began his YouTube channel, Finntastic Mr. Fox, in 2020 with the goal of providing resources for trans and cis people alike, which has since evolved into a means of connecting and educating through introspection. He holds firm to the belief that building bridges is a better use of time and energy than building walls, and has recently focused this effort on the topic of masculinity. Having lived experience being perceived as both a woman and a man, Finn hopes to bring insight to the gendered cultural conditioning that impacts all of us. It has been a humbling, and fascinating journey, one that he hopes can help others grow as he continues to do so himself. *** As a writer, speaker and consultant, Mark Greene has spent over a decade deconstructing our binary-riddled dialogues around manhood and masculinity.

In our latest podcast, Charles is kind enough to host Mark for a deep dive titled "Deconstructing Man Box Culture." How does man box culture drive male and white supremacy? Here's how. Our deeply isolating dominance-based culture of masculinity suppresses boys ability to form and care for healthy relationships, while also insuring that women and girls, BIPOC, LGBTQI+ people, and immigrants bear the brunt of the harm created. Join us for a detailed look at why men must break out of man box culture.

For generations, our culture has taught us a narrow and limiting set of rules for how to be a man. The end result? Epidemic levels of isolation for boys and men and embedded repression and violence for the vast majority of women and children. I learned that same set of rules and I adopted that stoic, suppressed, and sometime emotionally violent version of manhood. it took me years to find a way back to the real authentic version of myself that is open, loving, curious, vulnerable, bold, and creative. What if it were easier for boys to grow up whole and for men to break the shackles of dominance based masculinity? I (Charles) spent most of my life, struggling to balance my desire for equality, authenticity, joy, nonviolence and connection with my desire to fit in with my gender. It took years to find them, but it turns out there are men who are choosing a kind of masculinity that encompass real human values. Thousands of men have broken out of the man box and its rigid repressed dog eat dog version of masculinity. They - we - are choosing a masculinity of connection, compassion, and collaboration. In return we have healthier relationships, and more meaningful, lasting lives. And now there’s a new podcast dedicated to interviewing some of those men and encouraging others to join them: Remaking Manhood, The Healthy Masculinity Podcast. This week on the HERE.together Podcast we are releasing, in full, the first episode of the Remaking Manhood Podcast which I co-host and co-produce with Mark Greene. In this episode, both Mark and I share old stories of shame and (somewhat delayed) redemption. Mark explains with powerful clarity the system that keeps most men in the Manbox and then I lay out the three different ways men can start their own path toward authentic, healthy manhood. I really hope you find it inspiring and I hope you share it with the men and young men in your life.

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “The work is our compassionate ability to connect and live rich, real lives. Men just have to make the choice to live a good life and to stop living this hierarchical caricature of being a human being.” - Mark Greene In our world today, there is a dominance-based man box culture of masculinity that is resulting in isolation, violence and early mortality for men and deep, lasting challenges for all those whose lives they impact. However, there are men and women who are breaking out of the man box culture, and helping others do the same, and today’s Finding Brave guest is one such person. Our inspiring guest offers an invitation for each one of us to look at all of the ways we have been programmed to live, and to explore how we can escape these dangerous limitations society has reinforced in us.

We have a virtual sit-down with Jan Darwin Hutchins. The conversation is wide ranging, warm, and open. Just a group of guys, sitting in front of a hearth, sharing ideas and support. Charles first met Jan when he was co-facilitating a Mankind Project men's initiation weekend. Jan's been involved with MKP for decades and has helped scores of men down a path toward a more authentic and balanced masculinity. Jan started out his career as sports broadcaster and TV producer and even helped run an Emmy winning children's show. But like many men who seemed to have it all figured out, Jan still felt a gap, a sense of something incomplete. In this podcast, Jan talks about his experience at his transformative rite of passage where he started to fill in that gap. Jan, Mark, and Charles also talk about race, how to bridge divides, and the value of male friendships for anchoring, informing, and directing our lives. Pull a chair up to the fire. You are invited into this conversation. Key Takeaways: We can hold two opposing ideas at the same time and let that help us bridge gaps within ourselves and between people. We can find some peace and authenticity by accepting what is.

Getting real in a conversation about masculinity and race with Jose Alejandro. Jose's masculinity story is both typical and unique. At a very young age he "had it all," a six figure salary, good looks, a healthy body, and a gorgeous girlfriend. But something was missing...and something was preventing him from really succeeding at work and in his relationship. Fortunately Jose took the time to investigate and reclaim his missing parts, his full authentic masculinity. And now Jose is running his own business promoting men's comprehensive health. He offers coaching and workshops to other men as they work to find their true selves. As a man of color, Jose finds himself in an important role astride the divide between the mostly white men's movement and the more diverse organizations confronting racism and inequality. Listen to the full episode to learn how men confront their internal demons and how they can grapple with what appears to divide us. The end result of both kinds of struggles is - spoiler alert - connection, health, and richer life. Key Takeaways: There are multiple ways men can enter men's work. Talking about race and the different experiences men of color have is key to advancing men's work. Quote: “Men spend 164 billion dollars on self care per year… but yet suicides rates are 79% men. So there's this disparity… men are investing in themselves but there's this dissonance in investing in their well being, their inner selves.” Jose's Information and Projects: Jose's Coaching and Branding Program Modern Renaissance Man Jose's Instagram More Resources for Men: Rising Man Evryman Sacred Sons Mankind Project *** As a writer, speaker and consultant, Mark Greene has spent over a decade deconstructing our binary-riddled dialogues around manhood and masculinity.

Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Mark Green, keynote speaker and author of the books The Little #MeToo Book for Men and Remaking Manhood. (3:11) Mark shares information about his publishing house, ThinkPlay Partners, NYC. (5:48) We learn about how starting a blog on masculinity 12 years ago, and stepping outside the traditional rules of masculinity led Mark to the work he does today as an author, work that is closely tied to Ashanti's work around masks. (12:45) Mark and Ashanti reflect on how they both found their calling: Mark came to men's work at the age of 56, and Ashanti remembers how certain behaviors were considered “feminine” in his cultural background, and always struggled with this dissonance. (16:27) Both men embark on a winding, compelling discussion on the theories behind how troublesome behaviors associated with “being a man” start in early childhood. (33:20) Mark and Ashanti begin to share their masks. (35:00) After sharing the front of their masks, they discuss Ashanti's drive to raise his family out of poor circumstances, and how it's intertwined with race and power in our society. (38:40) After sharing the back of their masks, they discuss grief, and how Mark “wasted half a century”; Ashanti then shares his grief over his father's death, and how it affected how he questioned traditional masculinity from childhood onward. (43:42) Mark and Ashanti discuss how our culture of competition builds subconscious patterns within us that cause a tension within us that many refuse to understand. (49:30) Mark and Ashanti both become deeply moved. After getting to truly know each other they both begin to confront demons in their past.

In this Living OUT Leadership Interview we cover a broad range of topics that relate to the problems of masculinity and man box culture, the patriarchy, bullying, silencing, and policing gender. The Man Box and #MeToo for Men Mark explains where the term, “man box” came from and how he defines “masculinity”. Men have been taught to suppress, deny and take for granted their masculine identities. Men are taught from an early age, as young boys, to think in a certain way, including to not show their emotions, to be a leader, aggressive, dominant, sexually active, care and talk about sports, and to be a real man. “Wrongly gendering the universal capacity for human connection as feminine and then coaching boys to see feminine as less is how we block our sons from the trial and error process of growing their powerful relational capacities, leading to a lifetime of isolation.” The challenge with man box culture is that it is brutally enforced between men. It abuses boys and men to conform to restrictive ideas for decades over the course of men’s lives that has a traumatic impact on men’s emotional state, sense of identity, the performance of masculinity, and connection with others. These are all crucial aspect in whether men can or cannot form relationships at all, and is one of the reasons for the increase in social isolation and loneliness of men. Bullying as a form of control and reinforcing the hierarchy What are the effects of bullying on men – on the person being bullied, and the bully himself? “In what is clearly representative of the isolating impact of man box culture, boys entering late adolescence are shamed and bullied into seeing their close authentic connection with their best friend as weak (feminine). Accordingly, they slowly disengage from their closest friendships. It is at this time that suicide rates for boys rise, becoming four times the rate for girls.” The cruel fact of man box culture Greene explains that we all knew the script. We were all taught the script. We had to denigrate women and LGBT people in order to be allowed to not be a target and to fit in. The kids and boys in our community who were awkward, with disabilities, or couldn’t pull off the appearance of masculinity became permanent targets. A culture of dominance, hierarchy and abuse needs a permanent population of targets, namely women, LGBT people, and boys who don’t fit in. Empathy: Not the kind of courage men are taught to present We beat out of young boys empathy, connecting across difference, and caregiving. Then we shame them if they exhibit those tendencies. “The list of central relational capacities that man box culture suppresses includes empathy. The suppression of boys’ and men’s empathy is no accident. It is the suppression of empathy that makes a culture of ruthless competition, bullying and codified inequality possible. It is in the absence of empathy that men fail to see women’s equality and many other social issues for what they are: simple and easily enacted moral imperatives.” Policing gender performance: LGBTQ In the world of gay men, we often see self-identified, straight-acting gay men who may use terms on dating apps like, “Masc4masc, looking for other “dudes”, and “no femmes”. The word straight-acting is an ironic misnomer: those claiming it are in fac...
