Summary

Picking up in the middle of the discussion on masculinity, the fathers in the group discuss how their own masculinity will factor into the way their children develop. The men also discuss the gender expectations that start in the home and whether they are correct or lead to problems down the road. Things get a little bit heated as the men debate whether or not the man is the leader in a relationship and family, and if this idea is an embodiment of toxic masculinity. Naturally, the group talks about whether biblical expectations of men and their role in the family unit are healthy or not. The men also discuss what happens if men aren't physically or mentally built to fulfill the criteria of what it means to be a man. And sticking with the theme of the discussion the group tries to navigate the nebulous definition of toxic masculinity, and whether or not chauvinism and chivalry are different sides of the same coin. On the microphone: Duane, Schaane, Craig, Sylvester, Mark, Garrett, and Thyrone
