Host Marianne Schnall shares a collection of insights on "What would it mean for the U.S. to finally elect a woman president?” from her recent interviews with an esteemed group of thought leaders about Kamala Harris's historic run for President. They each share their perspectives on what the possible impact of finally breaking that glass ceiling would be (1:23), how it could open doors for women and girls (5:46), and also broaden our cultural perceptions of leadership across generations (13:12). They also elaborate on the potential global impact of a Harris Presidency (16:31), what it would mean for the U.S. to join the ranks of other nations who have women heads of state (17:44), and much more. With quotes from Ted Bunch, Glynda Carr, Jasmine Crockett, Anita Hill, Carol Jenkins, María Teresa Kumar, Barbara Lee, Kimberly Peeler-Allen, Nancy Pelosi, Ai-jen Poo, and Erin Vilardi.
This week I decided to re-release an episode from April 2023 when Duane and I interviewed Ted Bunch, the COO and co-Founder of A Call to Men.Recently Helping Couples Heal has been focusing a great deal of attention on the topic of male socialization and male sexual entitlement. This interview with Ted provides an opportunity to further the conversation and facilitate a deep dive into the unhealthy psychology that fuels sex addiction and betrayal.
Original Air Date: 8/23/2023 For decades, we have rightly been focused on dialing back endemic misogyny and poking holes in the patriarchy in the hopes of a new normal of gender relations emerging that would be genuinely healthier for everyone, not just women. But, with so much of the focus on the type of masculinity men and boys shouldn't embrace, we may have fallen short on giving positive direction to boys about what they should be and do.

Men are dying younger and living sicker than others. Having spent twenty years working with men, I believe in men's goodness. I see that while there are men who abuse their power, there are many incredible men who want to do and be good in the world. This episode highlights three leaders in men's work, Dr. Jed Diamond, Ted Bunch and Kenny Mammarella D'Cruz. We look at the state of men and how what men need most right now can't be separated from what the world needs most right now. If you're not satisfied with your love or sex-life, and could use some insights into what makes women want more of you, tell me more about yourself here and we'll schedule a time to talk: shanajamescoaching.com/consult

From a young age, boys are inundated with messages that teach them not to cry, openly express emotions, or show any sign of weakness for fear of appearing weak or feminine. And as a result, men experience a lack of intimacy and close friendships. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with the co-founder of “A Call to Men,” Ted Bunch, and developmental psychology professor at NYU, Niobe Way, to chat about how boy's friendships evolve as they get older, the additional cultural pressures that Black and Brown men face, what men can do to prioritize their mental health, and how therapy could be transformative for a lot of men.

Most men have thought they should limit what they express, or even feel.... That emotions are not manly and won't be well received. Times are changing though and there is a call to support men to be healthier and happier, which includes welcoming men's vulnerability. A Call to Men's Chief Development Officer, Ted Bunch, talks about why it's important to be bold, brave and kind, and to teach your kids to be the same.

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
Mom Enough co-hosts Marti & Erin found this discussion on raising boys with Dr. Michael Reichert to be one of the most thoughtful and important episodes they have done. Drawing on his personal story of the death of his brother, his extensive research on boys around the world and his years of clinical experience with boys longing to be heard, this psychologist and highly respected author makes the case that, in his words, “Too many boys lose their intimate connections and emotional voices early in their lives.” But it doesn't have to be that way! Dr. Reichert offers practical guidance whether you are the parent of a lively preschooler, a 5th-grader trying to succeed in school or a teenager trying to navigate the turbulent waters of romance and sexuality or grappling with disturbing pornographic images on the internet. Tune in to learn key insights from Dr. Reichert's book, How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men. BOYS AND GIRLS ARE NOT AS DIFFERENT AS WE SOMETIMES THINK. If you listen carefully, you are likely to discover that boys and girls are not as different as we sometimes think. We all long for trust, respect, connection. We all long for our needs and feelings to be heard and acknowledged. And when we provide those things to both our sons and daughters, the world will be better for the men and women they become. REFLECT ON HOW YOU WILL BEGIN RAISING BOYS DIFFERENTLY. This week's Mom Enough guest, Dr. Michael Reichert, says in this discussion, “The problem is not boys, but the boyhood we have built.” What examples can you think of that illustrate this point? What concrete steps could you take to begin to build a better boyhood for the boys in your life, whatever their ages? What one thing will you change in how you are raising your son(s), so they will grow up to be compassionate and caring adults? WANT TO LEARN MORE? ❉ Check out Dr. Reichert's book, How to Raise a Boy: The Power of Connection to Build Good Men, to learn more about raising boys. ❉ HELPING OUR CHILDREN BUILD SELF-COMPASSION: KEYS TO KINDNESS, GRATITUDE AND COMPASSION FOR OTHERS. We've all heard the question, “What kind of world are we leaving for our children?” But Dr. Shilagh Mirgain, a health and sport psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, turns that question on its head and asks, “What kind of children are we leaving for our world?” Whatever the ages of your children, don't miss this inspiring and practical discussion of how to help your children develop compassion for themselves and others, recognizing the common humanity, vulnerability and imperfection we all share. Learn concrete steps you can take today to help your children be more grateful, kind and mindful in their daily lives. ❉ PROMOTING HEALTHY MANHOOD: WISDOM FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE BOOK OF DARES. Ted Bunch and Anna Marie Johnson Teague are devoting their lives to building a new kind of strong, healthy manhood where boys and men respect themselves and others, treat women as equals and stand up against violence and injustice. Tune in to hear how they are doing this through A Call to Men and an innovative new book for boys, The Book of Dares: 100 Ways for Boys to Be Kind, Bold and Brave. ❉ CUT TO THE QUICK: THE CONSEQUENCES OF RELATIONAL AGGRESSION AMONG OUR SONS & DAUGHTERS. We've all heard “mean girl” stories and many of us probably have lived them. But the social rejection and humiliation kids inflict on each other is not unique to girls; in fact, this episode's Mom Enough guest cites evidence that relational aggression is equally common among boys and girls.
Ted Bunch has spent the bulk of his adult life as an educator, activist and lecturer, focused specifically on the intersection of masculinity and violence against women. He's also spent 18 years as the Chief Development Officer of the violence prevention organization A Call To Men, and in that time he's become one of the nation's leading voices on the perils of male socialization and the misperception of toxic masculinity. On this 2020 episode of Paternal, Bunch breaks down the challenges men and boys face due to the rigid expectations of who society expects them to be - strong, fearless, emotionless, and in control - and why it's so dangerous for them and their kids to fall into that trap. He also discusses how his parents - two college educators and civil rights activists - influenced his path towards social justice, but also the challenges he faced while growing up black in a largely white community in Westchester County, New York.

Anna Marie Johnson Teague and Ted Bunch are the co-authors of The Book of Dares, a new book that discusses the male experience and how to overcome stereotypes and build healthy masculinity in our young boys. This isn’t just a book for men either! Everyone of all genders can benefit from this book to better understand a man’s upbringing and why some men feel compelled to act aggressively and violently against women. It’s time men can reimagine what it looks like to be and live their full authentic self without shame. Key Takeaways A little bit about Anna Marie! A little bit about Ted! Why do men abuse women? Anna Marie and Ted’s book is for young male children. This book is designed to create healthy masculinity for our young boys. This is not just a book for boys, women can read this book too to better understand the male experience. JR shares his experience of finally being able to cry ‘safely’ at the age of 24 years old. Vulnerability is a place of strength. Our society sees it as a weakness. Boys are mimicking what they see in their male role models. Our culture has taught boys and men that you can’t be open with your feelings. It’s painful because a whole gender suffers. How can parents encourage their children to be more vulnerable? Anna Marie noticed that at night when the world is getting quiet is when her child wants to share. It’s tough because she’s so darn tired at the end of the day. Acknowledgement is such an empowering thing. Don’t be afraid to acknowledge when someone has something vulnerable. Men have a hard time asking for help. JR shares a story of when a man, a stranger, apologized to him. JR has a hard time apologizing, despite knowing it’s a good thing to do. He was taught not to apologize at a young age and it’s difficult to break that cycle. We teach our boys to sexually objectify women because, if you don’t, then you might be seen as ‘gay’. Censorship is not an option for your children. You have to help provide them with the right tools for what the world will throw at them. Sexualization is part of our culture. We need to educate our children and show them how to be media literate. Compassion for different people, for different races, has been heightened. It’s hard to build connection and empathy. What is privilege? What is white privilege? And how do you communicate that to your children?

Also when I see Anna Marie’s son Jack wanting to be the best son and man he can be and understanding all that he is in being a white male at 12 years old with certain privilege.

This week Abigail speaks with Ted Bunch and Anna Marie Johnson Teague about their new manual for young boys called The Book of Dares: 100 WAYS FOR BOYS TO BE KIND, BOLD, AND BRAVE. We discuss how they are using the playful idea of "dares" to help boys expand their worldview, develop deep respect toward girls and non-binary kids, and generally hold a healthier idea of manhood.
Ted Bunch is co-founder of A Call to Men, an organization dedicated to preventing violence against women and promoting healthy manhood. Mr. Bunch is also co-author of "The Book of Dares," which contains 100 challenges for boys based on the work of A Call to Men.Links:A Call to Men"The Book of Dares"Mount Sinai Parenting Center
The Book of Dares: 100 Way for Boys to be Kind, Bold and Brave turns "dare culture" on its head. As you likely know, boys live in a world in which status is never fixed; it’s dependent upon their ability to rise to the challenge, to dominate others and not back down from fights. That’s one reason why boys are so susceptible to challenges and dares And that’s one reason why so many boys do stupid things. Remember the movie “A Christmas Story?” Flick’s tongue got stuck to the pole because he was double-dog- and then triple-dog dared. via GIPHY Ted Bunch, chief development officer of A Call to Men (an organization that promotes healthy, respectful manhood), and Anna Marie Johnson Teague, chief communications officer of the organization, decided to use boys' susceptibility to dares to encourage important emotional growth. "When we set out to write this book, we spoke with thousands of boys around the world," Anna Marie says. "Boys unanimously agreed that dares are equally frightening and fascinating. So we decided to present 100 positive challenges that all promote healthy manhood, authenticity and gender equity." In this episode, Jen, Janet, Ted & Anna Marie discuss: Why boys tackle dares - including harmful ones The collective socialization of manhood The "man box" Helping boys navigate evolving gender expectations Encouraging empathy Talking about male privilege and white privilege (without boys feeling like they're part of the problem!) Developing emotional literacy How healthy manhood promotes mental health Introducing The Book of Dares to your son All done!

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
When you look at the little boys or young men in your family and community, do you ever think about the opportunity they will face to build a better world for both men and women? Do you think about their potential to build a new kind of strong, healthy manhood that will allow them to respect themselves and others, treat women as equals and stand up against violence and injustice? This week’s Mom Enough guests, Ted Bunch and Anna Marie Johnson Teague, are devoting their lives to this effort through their work with A Call to Men and an innovative new book for boys, The Book of Dares: 100 Ways for Boys to Be Kind, Bold and Brave. When Marti & Erin ask the guests why they focus specifically on boys, they describe the limitations that have been put on boys, and they note the fact that males die earlier and perpetrate most of the violence. As they say, “The liberation of men will be the liberation of women.” As parents, we need to start early in raising boys to a healthy manhood. So, whether you have a toddler or a teen, tune into this inspiring conversation and focus on the steps you can take to support your son in becoming the respectful, authentic, emotionally engaged man he can be. WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT RAISING BOYS WHO EMBRACE HEALTHY MANHOOD? This week’s Mom Enough guests note that boys learn early on to be in the “Man Box.” What does that mean? And how can we invite the boys in our life, at any age, to step out of that box? Using the ideas of The Book of Dares, think of two or three dares you could pose to your son that would encourage him to think in new ways about how both boys and girls benefit when boys step out of the “Man Box.” WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RAISING HEALTHY BOYS? ❉ A CALL TO MEN. This organization works to promote healthy, respectful manhood by offering trainings and educational resources to organizations, such as schools, businesses, and community organizations. ❉ HOW TO RAISE A BOY: A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE POWER OF CONNECTION TO BUILD GOOD MEN.

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, Ted Bunch, is the Chief Development Officer of A Call to Men. He is a leading voice on male socialization, the intersection of masculinity and violence, and healthy, respectful manhood. Ted is the co-author of The Book of Dares: 100 Ways For Boys to be Kind, Bold and Brave. The book has been called “a direct answer to parents’ cries for building healthy masculinity, respect, and emotional literacy in their sons.” Many men did not grow up feeling safe to reveal all parts of themselves. They are then tempted to hide their hopes, fears, desires and emotions. The Man Box is now understood as a way to view the limiting persona and characteristics many men have been trained to emulate. Whether its parents, teachers, media, or the culture, the message has been clear for many generations: In order to be manly, you have to be strong and tough. You can't fall apart, need help or ask for it. Thankfully times are changing. You are likely seeing and hearing more organizations and people talking about the importance of welcoming men's vulnerability. Today's conversation is an important one to support men to be free from cultural limitations, creating more safety and well-being for all. We discussed: How being socialized into cultures of sexism hurts everyone, including men Ways to welcome your kids emotions and authenticity What it will take to decrease the astronomical rate of men's anxiety, depression and suicide The importance of speaking up rather than staying silent The Book of Dares and integrating A Call to Men's principles into communities When you're done with this episode, I highly recommend watching my TEDx talk called: What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal About the Crisis Between Men and Women.

Ted Bunch has spent the bulk of his adult life as an educator, activist and lecturer, focused specifically on the intersection of masculinity and violence against women. He’s also spent 18 years as the Chief Development Officer of the violence prevention organization A Call To Men, and in that time he’s become one of the nation’s leading voices on the perils of male socialization and the misperception of toxic masculinity. On this episode of Paternal, Bunch breaks down the challenges men and boys face due to the rigid expectations of who society expects them to be - strong, fearless, emotionless, and in control - and why it’s so dangerous for them and their kids to fall into that trap. He also discusses how his parents - two college educators and civil rights activists - influenced his path towards social justice, but also the challenges he faced while growing up black in a largely white community in Westchester County, New York.

Again considering the evidence that needs technical enhancements to analyze, we look at the variety of microspherules that have been recovered from 18 sites across four continents, and the graphs that show great abundances of the proxies, many of which have been shaped at over 3000 degrees, peaking right along with the YDB. Tangential discussions address the recurrence of the Phi ratio in measurements of distance and time, the ancient models of temporal change that modern science is now aligning with, the quantifying of “planetary-scale movement of water”, and cratering effects on the YDB depositions.

Gender inequality. Vulnerability. Consent. No doubt, these can be tough subjects to broach with our sons. But if we hope to raise our boys to be respectful, emotionally healthy men, then these are conversations which must be had. Adam explores these themes and more with father of six and Chief Development Officer of A CALL TO MEN, Ted Bunch. Plus, Marc has yet another awkward, dairy-themed encounter with his kids. As life in quarantine continues, Adam and Marc dig in on the topic of talking to boys about valuing women as equals. This sparks a deeper exploration of how, among themselves, men talk about and ally with women—and how these things have evolved over time. Adam introduces guest Ted Bunch, father of six and chief development officer of A CALL TO MEN, an organization devoted to promoting healthy and respectful manhood and shifting attitudes and behaviors toward women. Adam and Ted cover many topics, including:• Defining the “Man Box”• The “collective socialization” of men• Calling men out using affirmation instead of accusation• Encouraging young men to be vulnerable• What “consent” really means• Techniques for having the “birds and the bees” talk with your son• Modeling gender equality, and respectful and loving behavior with your spouse• Raising your son to be his authentic self Also, Marc asks himself (twice), “Did I Just Say That Out Loud?" The guys promote an upcoming episode on the topic of “dad jokes” and invite listeners to leave their best dad joke in the Modern Dadhood voicemail box at 603-431-5465 for a chance to win a prize from Brümate!Happy Mother’s Day, Moms!

To join the community and be part of the conversation: Behind The Mask-ulinity Private Facebook Group To connect with me directly: E-Mail Me: BehindTheMaskulinity@gmail.com or Instagram Me What constitutes going from a boy to man? When do you cross that line? Is it a mindset? Is it a physical act? Is it a change in your body? Actually, it seems to be a very fluid definition. Depending on the country, the culture, the city, the religious group, even down to the individual, there can be multiple definitions. Which are wrong? Which are right? Are any of them wrong? When I hit my early 20s, I still felt like a boy. I had graduated from high school and went straight into pro baseball, still playing a kid's game only now I was getting paid for it. I always had a family that supported me in every way, I missed out on the college experience that probably would have helped me develop and mature into a man. Then again, there are young boys who are forced--through financial situations, social unrest, physical and emotional abuse--to grow up and "become men" from a very early age. So, when does one actually know when that transformation happens? For some insight on this, I sit down with Ted Bunch, the co-founder of A Call To Men, where they are working to promote a healthy and respectful manhood and shift attitudes and behaviors that devalue women, girls and other marginalized groups Ted is the former director and co-creator of the largest program for domestic violence offenders in America. He is an advisor to the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS and MLB providing policy consultation and facilitation violence prevention and healthy manhood training. He is providing ongoing sexual harassment training in the entertainment industry. He was a guest presenter for the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations. He is an international lecturer for the U.S. State Department. He is the co-author of LIVERESPECT Coaching Healthy & Respectful Manhood Curriculum. He is a frequent guest on national television and radio programs like The Today Show, NPR and has served as a script consultant for the Emmy Award-winning TV series "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
Randall’s back-drop sparks discussion of meteor showers and the progression of a disintegrating comet to provide the material for multiple impacts. We have learned critical lessons from Shoemaker-Levy 9, the KT boundary impact event, Tunguska, and nuclear detonations. He gets back into the work of Ted Bunch et al that compares impact markers from these events with the evidence for the YDIH. Lack of a crater is problematic to critics, but an oblique/tangential grazing of a passing object above the ice sheet is the scenario RC prefers, and includes drumlins as one of the potential effects that we now see in the landscapes.

How can we help our boys grow into healthy men? Ted Bunch, chief development officer of A Call to Men, says he thinks that the key is to support our boys as they become their authentic selves. Ted Bunch "I think the biggest challenge for us is really allowing our boys to show us, say to us and demonstrate to us who they really are," Bunch says, without us excessively trying to mold them. Our job isn't to make boys conform; our job is "to allow them to blossom, to really show who they are." For centuries, boys have been expected to conform to the "Man Box," a rigid set of rules that describe how a boy or man should behave. The problem is that those rigid rules often keep boys from living full, authentic lives. It keeps them from speaking out when they see another male harming an individual or group. It keeps them from expressing, acknowledging and dealing with their physical and emotional pain. All of which harms our boys and those they interact with. Because the "Man Box" -- and our culture -- continues to equate masculinity with sexual conquest, the vast majority of our boys are confused. We tell them that consent is important and that they should treat all people with respect, but they see and hear very different behavior in movies, in music and in the real world. No wonder 8 out of 10 boys can't accurately define "consent." Notes: these are well-meaning, good boys. But despite their best intentions (and their parents' best intentions) are boys are growing up in a culture that still suggests (in so many ways!) that the proper male response to "no," in a sexual situation, is to "try harder." In our for our boys to grow into healthy men, we must provide accurate, detailed information. We must show them our respect and support. And we need to talk with our boys. This episode is a must-listen for dads of boys. In this episode, Jen, Janet & Ted discuss: The biggest challenges boys face on the road to becoming healthy men How to help boys find (and express) their "authentic self" The "Man Box" Pornography's effect on boys Conversations dads need to have with their sons Teaching boys consent Empower boys to say "no" to unwanted sexual activity How sexual abuse harms boys and men Grappling with Kobe Bryant's legacy, which includes a history of sexual assault ("More than one thing can be true at the same time," Ted says.)

CBSN recently released a new documentary, Raising Boys. Among those featured in the documentary: our very own Jennifer L.W. Fink. The intent of the documentary, says producer Kayla Ruble, was to examine "what issues lead to the headlines" that so often announce stories of men behaving badly. The intent was to search for answers to the question that is on the mind of every parent of boys: How do we raise good men? The documentary features 6 families -- David French, a dad who discusses the difference between raising boys today vs. when he was growing up Gemma Gaudette, the mom of a son who got in trouble for punching a kid who picked on him Mike & Katy Anderson, parents of three active boys who love to wrestle and brawl Roe Anderson, a single mom of a boy who prefers art to sports Ruth Whippman, a mom of three boys who discusses the messages boys receive about masculinity from books and movies Roberto and Tenysa Santiago, parents of three children including a boy who like to paint his nails and wear his hair in a pontail -- as well as expert commentary from Ted Bunch, co-founder of A Call to Men (Tim Bell, a Call to Men mentor and basketball coach also shares his experience) Michael C.

How can we reduce violence against women, the LGBTQ+ community, and other marginalized communities? It starts with what Ted Bunch calls, the “Man Box.” In this episode, Ted teaches how we can reject the dangerous ideals that keep the Man Box in place, and talks about how his son coming out as gay forced him to confront his own biases. Now, with new motivation to inspire others by sharing their story, Ted and Jalen are a living example of true, unconditional love. Hear from them both in this powerful episode.Find out more about Ted’s organization at: www.acalltomen.comListen to the CEO of A Call to Men, Tony Porter’s TedWomen Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/tony_porter_a_call_to_menGet our weekly audio guides that will help you live your dreams, on your terms: http://www.motivationforblackpeople.com
