Rewilding Masculinity w/ Dr. Martha McCaughey
from The Rewilding Podcast w/ Peter Michael Bauer Hosted by Peter Michael Bauer
Popular culture likes to tell us that modern men are still just cavemen that masquerade in suits. That they are really just big dumb brutes, bent on domination to get their way. Deep down, their urges for violence (and sexual violence in particular) are simply part of their biology. Where does this mythology come from and why? What does rewilding masculinity look like–and where do we even start? In this episode I interview Dr. Martha McCaughey, professor of sociology at Appalachian State University and author of the book "The Caveman Mystique" as we explore these concepts in depth.
