Growing Up in a World Where "Feminine" is an "F"Word: How Arts and Comms Can Heal Our Boys with renowned artist Justin Eagleton and host Jennie Guay

As a parent raising a little boy, I often find myself troubled and perplexed by some of the behaviours, expectations and messaging that surrounds our boys. Through TV, music, imagery, online games and the school playground, our boys are bombarded with the message that "Feminine" is an "F" word and is a part of them that shouldn't be addressed, let alone explored and encouraged. Whether man or woman, boy or girl, we are ALL made up of both masculine and feminine traits and energies. This is a FACT. Yet, we live in a culture of toxic masculinity, where boys are encouraged to pursue football over arts, and emotional repression over communication. In this episode, host Jennie Guay is joined by renown UK artist, illustrator and designer, Justin Eagleton. He's a man who embraces his Feminine, in a world that never encouraged it, and has made a successful career out of embracing his emotions and feelings and communicating them through murals, portraits and creative design. In this episode, Jennie and Justin, discuss the ways we are failing our boys and hindering their emotional and psychological development, by muzzling their feminine. Hosted on Acast.
