Ep 39: The Complexities of Masculinity with Future Men

To mark International Men's Day, The Unfairer Sex teamed up with Chris Stein from Future Men, exploring the concept of masculinity, what it means to be a dynamic and healthy man, role models available to men today and the great work Future Men is doing in our communities. We also discussed Future Men's attempts to get paternity recognised as a protected characteristic in the Equalities Act 2010. Whilst preparing for this episode, we reached out to a number of men to ask their thoughts on the term masculinity, possible causes to the growing popularity of misogyny in younger generations, and why men might not feel able to speak up when a victim of abuse. These interviews will also feature in a future episode so keep your eyes peeled! A HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to these questions. Some of you disagreed with the premise of the questions we asked, others read them in a way we never considered. Some brought Lady Gaga into the mix! However you replied, we valued hearing your thoughts and learning so much about this conversation from a variety of POVs. Thank you. **** https://futuremen.org/ https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents
