Ep 43: Fight, Flight, Fawn – How Expressions of Anger are Socially Sanctioned

We are delighted to have Prof Steve Roberts and Chris Stein return to The Unfairer Sex podcast to talk to us about anger; in particular, how anger manifests itself and the different ways its socially sanctioned and conditioned depending on gender. We discuss the interlink between anger and fear, the support available to men today, why we need to invest in intergenerational support and resolve the chronic underfunding of social care in the UK. We also discuss why women are deemed to be a legitimate target of male aggression, and how anger is channeled and controlled. Please note, we briefly touch on the subject of suicide. ****** Helpful links: Prof Steve Roberts Future Men Healthy Masculinities Project, Australia The Good Childhood Report 2023 Ep 39 – The Complexities of Masculinity with Future Men Ep 20 – Politics of Masculinity with Steve Roberts
