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."
