#012 - Is Violence EVER Necessary?

We'll be honest with you blokes, this was a terrifying subject to tackle, but, it's been a big topic over in the Blokes Advice group in recent weeks and we didn't start this project to shy away from the tough discussions. In this ep Rob and Matty tackle the types of violence and share their perspectives on when, or if, it is the answer. The two have very different stances on this one boys so strap yourselves in and make sure to weigh in on the conversation!Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-nowLearn more about the project: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/Join the BA group (blokes only, sorry ladies): https://www.facebook.com/groups/280770292436702Find us on socials:https://www.youtube.com/@BetterBlokeProjecthttps://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeprojectSkip to the juicy bits:[00:00:00] Intro.[00:03:08] The allure of violence.[00:06:08] Violence and repercussions for disrespect.[00:09:23] Violence and self-defense.[00:13:28] Bullying and social media impact.[00:15:32] Masculinity in different cultures.[00:21:38] Domestic violence discussion.[00:26:03] Misconceptions about men's behavior.[00:27:40] Domestic violence and responsibility.[00:33:24] Pro-women and pro-men stance.[00:35:36] Feeling of safety for women.
