Masculinity and the Next Generation of Men

Dr. Michael Kehler doesn't like the phrase "toxic masculinity". But he does think we need to have a national conversation about how boys and men act and learn about masculinity in schools, sport, and beyond.  4:00 | Is Dr. Kehler advocating for a future generation of wimps? The research chair in Masculinities Studies at the University of Calgary's Werklund School of Education makes us think about a whole lot of things.  MICHAEL'S HOCKEY CANADA PIECE: https://theconversation.com/hockey-canada-scandal-highlights-toxic-masculinity-in-sports-192712 47:26 | How often do you notice the birds in your backyard?
